said that Houghton lost the match
when he added a penalty stroke to

hole. Houghton should have ques.
toned the propriety Of this extra
stroke either before going to the
next hole or at the eighteenth hole,
and have asked tournament officials
for a decision. However, he said
nothing until Hunter ended the

Well, anyhow, they had no trou-
Bile with Taylor. He was all for
open covenants, openly arrived at
or something. For instance, in the
third game they got plenty OF men
on. The trouble was that they
couldn't get them off again, or,
n rather, in. Maybe Mr.. Taylor was
feeling a little secretive that day.
If he wasn't, surely James doesn't
mean to say that the Athletics
couldn't hit what they knew was
coming, and in the fifth game
Bishop was on first base when
Haas hit his home run. Does
James mean us to infer that Bishop
picked up the sign from first base?
If he did, Mr.. Taylor was using
no ordinary signs. He was using
the General Electric system.
At that, James interested me
strangely when he asserted that
Hthey didn't watch for signs in the
fourth game. Had Mr.. Taylor 8
guileness behavior wearied them?
Or were they carried away with q
sense of self-sufficiency, causing
them to decide to do 1t the hard
way this time? I don't think James
ought to confess without taking us
into his complete confidence. He
should have told us why, without
bothering about signs, the Athletics
did more hitting this game than in
any other during the series.
Frankly, James tells us an In.
teresting story, but it is old
stuff. Signs have been stolen
since the days when ball players
were long of hair and short of
breath.
Danny Murphy and Harry Davis
used to steal them for the old Ath-
letics and they won. Then Connie
Mack sold the outfit, almost in toto.
Davis and Murphy continued to pick
up the signs until they got gran
ulated eyelids and what happend?
Roughly speaking, nothing. In fact,
nothing can happen unless your hit
ter can hit the ball.
Maybe the Cubs picked up a few
signs from Cochrane during the
series. They probably We're told by
the base runner that Grove was
Agoing to throw fast ball.
As for the hard feeling James
takes about this was manfully con.
cealed. The two clubs didn't frat.
ernize. But neither did they appear
to snarl however, If they did I don't
mind processing to be delighted.
Baseball has so little time nowadays
for the man who can't snarl pleas
antly.

SAYS NACKS
KNEWC()B
SIGNALS
BY Davis J. Walsh

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-It' S
out at last. The Philadelphia
Athletics didn't win the world
series of 1929. They stole it
from the "pillow" of the rival
catcher, Zack Taylor.
Jimmy Dykes, the third baseman,
found himself among friends last
night and told all about it at din
ner given in his honor in good, old,
Upper Darby, Pa, the home OF his
youth.
According to James, they simply
got a man on and he promptly in
tercepted the catcher's sign, which
in turn, was passed on to the hitter,
who thereupon busted or bursted one
to distant parts, winning the ball
game. Thus, the 1929 version of
villainy on baseball's backstairs-
q stolen series.

ing Tree, was holding 2 up

the eleventh tee of their first
round duel. Cunningham then
proceeded to lose five straight
holes and the match as well,
3 and 2.
The Washington times., 1929-10-23

This explains everything. The
Athletics simply got a man on
by the way, who stole the signs
for the man before he got on?

FOE
TOEXTRA
HOLE
By George A. Simpson

Miss Dorothy Hunter, of In
dian Spring, was knocking at
the door of local golf fame
yesterday in her match with
Mrs. j. Marvin Haynes, of tie
Columbia Country Club, in the
current Mi d die Atlanti t c
women's championships at Co.
lumbia.
The strong.hitting daughter Of the
Indian Spring pro was leading her
polished rival by a margin of one
hole as they teed UP at the eight
eenth. Miss Hunter was playing
such q consistent game that on
lockers practically conceded her a
sensational victory.
However, the Indian Spring girl
missed her third shot On the final
hole after having sliced her drive.
This permitted Mrs. Haynes to
square the match and another sliced
drive by Miss Hunter on the extra
hole, and a second into the trap, saw
her hopes fade. Mrs. Haynes took
5 and Miss Hunter 6.
This was the only close con.
test of the first-round matches.
Mrs. Haynes often remarked
this summer about Miss Hunt
er's ability and has noted her
progress.
