By CHARLEY

Sometimes extraordinary situa-
lions arise in the minor league
games that may appear ridiculous
to the fans in the large cities, but
are very serious in the bushes.
There is the matter of equipment
of the park as an example. If one
of the bases in a major league game
is cut, torn o. yer pushed out OF
place it is Immediately replaced by
the groundkeeper.
The little fellows cannot afford
any such luxuries. They have to
use thei requipment until it simply
falls apart. . And then sometimes
they use the pieces.
! To explain matters let me tell
of something that happened out in
the West Nebraska League last year.
This is only a small circuit and OPP
crates on a shoestring.
It probably would be embarras-
sing to the owners to mention the
team at whose park this game was
played. A scout, you know, cannot
afford to make enemies, so I'll let
it pass.
Anyway the bases used were quite
Anticipated, cut by spikes and mend
ed over and over. Early in the game
a runner slid back to first and
ripped open some stitches that left
quite a gap. This was probably an
every day occurrence.
But it did pave the way for an
unusual episode that occurred an
lining or so later. A batter beat
out a slow roller and when the in
fielder's throw was low the ball
slipped out Of the first sacker's
glove and lodged within the bag.
Realizing the situation the base
runner kept on to second and to
third when the ball stubbornly re-
fused to come out. Then came the
funny part. When the first base
man, unable to extract the ball, saw
the runner start for home, he
snatched UP bag and all and racing
across the diamond tagged the run
ner with the whole base.

U.N.S.) -. V. Thompson, IS,
one-time millionaire reputed to
be worth $75,000,OO0 a score OF
years ago, today is under arrest
for the alleged embezzlement OF
100000.
Thompson arrested in Altoona,

route from Pittsburgh to New

charge of embezzling 100000
from the estate here of John Nc
coils. father of Lydia Nicolls.

borrowed the amount from the
estate, giving an alleged worthless
note as security.

mately $65, 100000 about Is years
ago and his own estate is still in
the process of liquidation. He
was a large coal operator, with
extensive holdings in PennSyl.
