man can occupy it in case he should
beat the play.
However, the moment the first
baseman fielded the ball and re-
tired the batsman at first, the force
was removed.
The runner originally on first
could continue on to second, if he
so desired. incidentally, he had the
right to return to first if he so
desired and could reach that base
without being touched by the ball.
If he elected to continue on to
second, the mere arrival of the ball
at that base in advance of him did
not retire the runner; it was neces-
sary to touch him out. The retiring
of the batsman at first removed the
force and made it touch play.

Opportune hitting again put the
Indians across with victory Wednes-
day, 8 to S, in the second skirmiSh
of the series with the cellar Sena-
tors. The horne athletes wasted but
few blows, for they tailed their
markers on, one dozen hits.
George Lyons was blasted from
the rubber IN the seventh when the
Betzels nicked him for four con-
secutive safeties after two out, and

Harry Leibold's FASTENERS.

route for the Tribe, although at
times it seemed he was on the point

the home nine is not far removed
from the A. A. leaders and Wash

their favorites launch a winning
streak while the strong western
teams are fighting among them
selves.
A few more Tribe victories would
make big difference in the teams

standing today sho led the Indians
