Three Runs in Last Frame
Bring Defeat to Butler,
9 to 8.

Just about time the Butler fans
were starting to leave for home in
the ninth inning Monday at Irwin
field, after shivering through a hec-
tic baseball game between De PAW
and Butler, things began to happen.
And they were not pleasing things
to the home fans.
Butler went into the last frame
two runs ahead. After the first of
the ninth the Bulldogs were one
run behind, to sand that was
the way 1t ended.
Walk Starts 1t
The winning run was a gift. Here's
the way it happened. After one was
gone Anderson walked. Enyeart
dropped a looping single back of
third. Then Messersmith STROBE to
the plate with determination in his
manner. He smote a mighty double
to center and the score was tied. 1t
should never have been any more
than that.
Winterberg grounded sharply to
, Mills at short who made n fine play
on the ball and a perfect throw to
Woolgar at third to get Messersmith,
but the Butler third sacker dropped
the ball after tagging the runner,
1t was a tough break, as Woolgar
Is a real ball player.
That Winning Run
Then Catcher Quiesser trapped
Messersmith off third. Woolgar ran
the runner toward home and tossed
to Queisser. who dropped the ball.
The winning run waaaover.
Woodling was the hitting star for
Butler. lie eot four hits out Of five,
including homer in the first in

Pfersick, De Paw pitcher, and
Ewing for Butler were not effective.
Nesbit, who pitched the last two in

Butler hitters.
Franklin was to play Butler this
afternoon at Irwin Field, $3.50. In

ILL LII UP 10 CERTAIN
tA Butler player: Never chase
S a man toward the plate
when he is caught between home
and third if you can help it. Let
the catcher shoe him back toward
third and make the play at that
bag. Heine Zimmerman once made
one Of the most famous boners in
baseball when he engaged in a
race with a base runner and
chased him over the home plate
for a score in a worlds series con-
test.
That boxers should fight in
their respective weight classes, is
the unanimous opinion Of followers
Of the padded mitts. But some
of the recent wrangIing over
quarter.pound, half-pound and
pound differences in weight brings
to memory the story OF the two
Negro fighters who were to weigh
in at 118 pounds ringside. A $50
forfeit had been posted to make
the required weight and interest
was at high pitch.
On the night of the battle, one
darkie weighted 1854 pounds and
the other 11S. The 11S-pound boy
claimed the forfeit and refused to
go on, paying no attention to the
cries of flight, fight" from the
audience After. heavy ARGUMENTS

ring. but before doing so re-
marked: "All right, if you all

Bamb's Greatest Thrill

Ruth then proceeded to tell me that the pitching and winning of that extra inning game was the greatest thrill of this career.
 He made it emphatic that no home runs that ever bounced off his bat gave him quite the joy that came from the 14-inning victory over Sherry Smith of Brooklyn.
 Just after the fifth game of the present world series at St. Louis I dropped around to the New York bench for a chat with Manager Huggins. I first bumped into Ruth, wearing a smile that was a mile wide. Before had a chance to con- graduate him on his three homers he said:
 What did you think Of that sock into center field bleachers? I sure did bust that baby"
 Remembering our conversation about the 1t-inning game he had pitched in the world series, I re- piled:
 But what about that 14-inning game?" He didn't allow me to get any further.
 That game is no longer the big thrill of my career. The home run into the center field bleachers gets the call now"
 I might add it was one of the greatest thrills that I. a rather blase umpire, ever got out of ball game. l didn't think. any human being could hit ball so far.
 But then, Babe isn't human.

 Ruth is the most colorful figure that ever has played baseball. I doubt if the game will ever see an- other just like him.

SECOND BASEMEN
 WHO ARE LEADERS
Evans Thinks They Are Collins
 and Hornsby
(By Billy Evans)

Cnquestionably the two greatest second basement to grace the major leagues in the last 20 years, all things considered, are Eddie Collins of the Chicago White Sox and Rogers Hornsby of the St. Louis Cardinals.
 This is all the more unusual when you consider that 1t was several years before either tar discovered that second base was his forte.
 Connie Mack used Collins at short, third and right field before he def- nitely decided that second base was his proper spot in the infield.
 Hornsby played every position in the infeld and took a whirl at the outfeld before he settled down at second.
 Both soon developed into stars, and each already has shown unusual ability as a manager, Hornsby win ni~s a. National league pennant in hi second year.
 Other star players have had some- what similar experiences.

During the final regular series Of the year at St. Louis with New York, George Sisler. manager of the Browns, pitched the last two innings of the game that ended the season.
 It so happened that I worked the first game Sisler pitched In the ma jors. He had come direct from the University of Michigan
 He had plenty of stuff, including a fine curve, but of course lacked experience. He soon developed into a star southpaw. Then he was shift cd to first base, so his team could make daily use of his ability to hit the hall,
 In the final St. Louis game he showed he still possessed the fast breaking curve. for he struck out the first two men to face him.
 Yet, after the game when I asked Sisler if he would like to so back to pitching. he replied:
 T should say not. I'll take first base for mine"
