Extra Inning Games
Recall 37-BOx Tilt

Chicago, May 8.-(F-Extra in
ming games have been common in
the American Association race this
season, but old timers never will
forget the time sIndianapolis and
Minneapolis had to play 81 innings
to decide one contest.
It was back in 1913 and the game
stood for a play-off for four months.
The first game was played on
April 25, ending in a one-all tie in
six innings when rain halted the
fray. The second attempt was on
June Is, when darkness stopped the
game at the end of the ninth in
ming with the score 6 to 6.
On August z, they tried once
more to break the deadlock. This
time darkness again interfered, in
the thirteenth inning, with the score
knotted at two each. The next day,
however, the teams succeeded in de-
Gliding the game, the Millers batting
out an IL to l victory.

One Of the interesting sock-and-

they set out for their sixty-sixth

Yesterdays lap, q 66.2-mile

wiry little Melrose runner has in
stamina, keen racing
judgment and experience in his
favor. But his ambition to crown
a brilliant career with Olympic VIC
tory this time, after finishing third
in 1924, is no greater than that Of
Ray.
Joie, too, has been denied the
satisfaction of Olympic victory in
two previous trips abroad. Where
he failed as middle distance runner
he is confident of success over the
long grind. Rays wonderful
stride, natural grit and confidence
are in his favor.
The history of the Olympic Mara
thon, rich as it is in color, could
have no more dramatic episode than
a triumph for the old Kankakec
Filler.
Twenty years ago Johnny Hayes
made himself a national idol by his
Marathon victory, even though II
was gained because of the collapse
of the Italian, Dorando, who had led
Johnny into the stadium by a sub
stantial margin and who would have
won had his stamina been enough to
carry him over the remaining few
hundred yards.
The tragedy in that race over
Dorando's downfall had a comic re.
lief in the protest of Hcfferon, the
South African, who finished second
that Hayes also was helped across
the finish. Hefferon was not in
side the stadium when Hayes fin
ished and had no basis for such {
protest unless he figured it wa
one way of joining the general ar
gument that the finish aroused.
Hefferon's friends, in extenua
ton of his failure to win, explained
later that the distance was too shor
for him and that he was not at hi
best under about 40 miles.
No other Olympic event is s.
universal in interest or representa-
ton as the Marathon. Twenty ma
tions entered runners in the 1871;
race. Thirty were represented il
1924 when Finland, Italy, America
Great Britain and Chile figured il
the point scoring.

THE lNFIELD FLY RULE
When does the infield rule.
which automatically retires the
batsman whether the ball 10
caught or not, apply?
For the infield fly rule to be op-
erative there must be runners on
first and second or first, second and
third and none or one out at the
time.
If only first base is occupied the
infield fly rule is not effective.
Neither can it be effective in any
situation where there are two out.
The infield fly rule was made to
protect the baserunner. Prior to in
cooperating it into the playing code
much trickery was INDUCED in by
smart infielders.
BY dropping the ball purposely q
double or triple play often resulted,
since the runner or runners, for fear
of being retired, had to stick close
to their base and when the ball was
dropped were forced to advance.
With the infield fly rule in vogue
the runner, or runners, under GER
tain conditions stated above, real
ICES the batsman is automatically
out and they can retain their base
in safety.

New York, May 6.-@-For all
tho shouting there has been about
tho decadcnce Of American long dis
lance running talent it remains
fact that Uncle Sans entries have
done as well, if not better than
those of any other nation in the
classic Olympic Marathon.
Finland's two triumphs since the
war, by Kolehmainen in 1920 at
Antwerp and Stenroos, the cabinet
maker, in 1924 at Paris, are fresh
err in mind but over the long stretch
of Olympic rivalry America has
given a good account Of herself and
promises to do so again this summer
at Amsterdam, with Joie Ray and
Clarence DcMar leading the pack.
Finland and America are the only
nations to produce more than one
Marathon king. The Yankee tri-
umphs of Hicks at St. Louis in 1904
and 19-year-old Johnny Hayes at
London in 1908 match the sterling
victories of the Films in the last
two Olympiads.
On three other occasions in the
games of 1906, 1912 and 1924, the
United States finished no worse
than third. Three of the first four
in 1908 were Yankees. At Stock
holm four years later the South
Africans, Macarthur and Gitsham,
finished one-two but CASTOR Stro-
bino came in third for America and
ten of the first 18 to finish wore
the red, white and blue shield on
their jerseys. DeMar was twelfth.
These displays Of American team
strength have never been ap.
preached before or since by any
other country. Finland did not have
a single finisher in 1912 but landed
four of the first ten places in 1920.
This year there seems at least
an even chance that the most high.
ly priced Olympic victory will go tc
an American marathoner, with the
prospects now favoring either De.
Mar, 40 years old and veteran Of
two previous Olympics, or Ray, the
