play in the American league. only the real action was at second. The runner on third scored and the play was made on the man at second. the fielder dropped the ball. It fell just back of the base, out of the vision of the fielder who had drop ped it. The baserunner gave it a little kick that sent it into left field and then proceeded to race to the plate while the outfielders were re- covering the ball. The moment the runner kicked the ball, I called time and all I did was send him back to second.
 The main guidance in such a play is whether or not action has ceased. Now, we will say there is runner on third who does not try to score on the play until after the ball is dropped. Then he makes break for the plate. As the fielder is about to pick up the ball. the fielder kicks the ball into the outfleld and both score. In such a play as this. the man on second would be called out for interference and the runner who had scored from third sent back to that base. In this play, ac- tion had not ceased and the tactics of the baserunner prevented the fielder from making a play at the plate. This calls for an interference penalty.
 However. when there Is no ac- tion, as in the play you cited and In the play I cited, common sense and fair play must rule the situa- ton.
 In the New Britain play. would say the only fair play ruling would be to send the runner back to sec ond who went to third. after the man at the plate with the ball se- creted underneath him, had waved him on. When that player started his waving, was the spot to call time.
 This Is the way I would rule 1t, also other major league umpires, since several such precedents have been established on the theory of lair play.
 l am very glad to give you my opinion on the play and trust 1t may help to clear up the situation.
 Very sincerely.
 Billy" Evans.

Spea king of s ports

The opinion of Billy Evans, major league umpire. on the play that took place last Sunday in the game be- tween the Corbin Red Sox and the Falcons is given today. It does not agree with Umpire Ed Crowley's de- cision as he rendered it.
 However. to us 1t seems that there is no room left for argument be- cause of the fact that Rule 63 states that there shall be no appeal from a decision based on an umpire's judgment"
 According to the opinion of Billy Evans, Umpire Crowley was not wrong according to the powers in- vested in him, but his decision does rot concur with the manner in which Evans would have judged the play.
 This was a case wherein no speci- fic rule applied to the play and no matter how fans or players try to figured 1t out, no rule can be ap- piled to it.

As it happened. the decision had no material effect on the result of the game because the Red Sox got two more runs after it. However. it is a matter that is well to have explained because no one knows just when it is again liable to happen.

WHEAT grasses are best for
wv golf courses and which re-
spond most readily to treat
ment for the prevention and cure
Of 'brown patch'' are questions an
Bwered by experiments that have
been in progress for some time at
the BOyce Thompson Institute for
Plant Research at Yonkers, N. Y.
The work so far indicates that the
Metropolitan Bent variety gives the
best results. DR.. c. r. Orton, who
has been making the experiments,
also states that the use of a chemical
compound, chlorphenol mercury, ap-
piled every two weeks with fertil-
izer, instead of being followed by the
fertilizer as has been the custom,
gives the best results in preventing
'brown patch" blight attacking
both golf greens and lawns.
The experiments at the Boycs
Thompson Institute have been car
ried on for about two years on a
specially prepared plot, and on the
adjoining Hudson River Country
Club links.
Seven varieties Of grasses have
been planted in strips and different
chemical treatments have been ap-
piled in transverse strips marking
off comparative squares of turf. The
work being done by DR.. Orton is an
extension of previous experiments
made at the Boyce Thompson Insti-
tute by C. H. Godfrey, and of the
pioneer work done in this line by
Doctors Piper and Oakley of the
