the Baylor Bears the Texas Chris
tan university Horned Frogs ap-
pear to have shaken the jinx that
has been lowering over the team
Of the six games that the Purple
has played, almost all Of them were
lost through errors and inability to
hit.
A home run barrage was neces-
sary to cop the Bear tilt, but again
the Frogs showed lack of hitting
power, g%arnering only three safe
blows. Buckeyes homer in the
fourth, after Carroll had tripled for
one run, gave the Frogs the needed
margin, as Buster Walker was in
good form and held the Bears to
five scattered blows.
The Frogs have been getting
good pitching, with Cox and Walker
bearing the brunt of the work. The
Frog hurlers have been stingy with
the hits, holding Texas A. & M,
S. M. U. and Baylor effectively. 1t
has been the inability CT the Frog
batters to pile up TALES that re-
suited in the loss Of the first five

Some of the college boys invent
trick plays that are far fetched.
I had occasion at one time to stop
in and umpire a varsity game when
the regular arbiter did not show
and one Of the coaches spotted me
sitting in the grandstand.
One of the teams tipped me off
to their particular trick play and
told me to be on my toes when it
turned up so that I would be sure
o get it.
Their idea was for the catcher
0 fool the batter by taking him
7rf watch in the following manner:
With two strikes on the batter the
-atcher was to walk out to the
pitcher, pat him on the back, loud
ly encourage him and return SLOW
ly to his position. When a few steps
away from his own box he would
give a big leap, wheel in the air
and the pitcher cut loose with a
fast one down the middle. The idea
was to get the batter to sleep.
Sure enough along about the mid
! die of the game, with two on base,
the pitcher managed to get two
| strikes on the hitter. The catcher
then trotted out to the hill when
the pitcher stood on the rubber.
He did this little act and walked
slowly back toward the plate. Then
he sprang into action, but the pitch
er over-anxious, cut loose a bit too
soon.
That fast ball caught the pivot
ing catcher behind the a and laid
him out cold. The batter was
fooled and took an awful cut at
the ball missing it completely. The
ball rolled all the way to the gym
nasium, and everyone scored, in
GLIDING the batter.
The coach insisted that I call time
because the catcher was uncon-
scious. but I was laughing too hard
to tell him to look into the rule
book.

There is opposition in certain
parts of the country around Chi
cago of holding the annual high
school basketball tournament. But
it doesn't gain help from AIonzo
Stagg, coach of the University Of
Chicago, the man who conceived
the idea IL years ago. Stagg says
the meet which closed last week,
with Athens, Texas, high school
winning the national title was the
most successful ever conducted.
Ostensibly this meet is held for
the purpose of getting material for
its own school, and Stage says that
of the 5000 boys competing in the
tournament only three have de-
clared their intention of entering
the University of Chicago.
Maybe some of those birds de-
