Navy Wednesday, her lacrosse
game with Johns Hopkins at Bal

of Georgetown's initial baseball
games on it's Northern trip Fri

The Old Line lacrosse team has
taken on new life since Hopkins
knocked off the hitherto unde-
feated Sc. Johns stickmen Satur-
day, for by defeating both the
Jays and Navy they can get back
into the swim for the champion
ship in this sport by presenting
as strong a claim as anyone else

they are up against, but face the

SETTLE TITLES

The interhigh baseball cham
pionship race will be settled this
week on Wednesday when Busi-
ness and Eastern clash. 1t will
be the last game for the Stenogs
and by winning it they can do
no worse than gain a tie for the
title. And should Eastern win,
as everyone expects, they also can
get no worse than a tie, for
they still have a game with West
ern May %, which even If lost,
would give them tie for the
crown.
Originally the BusineSs-Easte.n
game was scheduled for Friday,
but this would cause a conflict
with the interhigh track cham
pionship, so the diamond tilt has
been moved up. Besides this
game, Western and Central meet
tomorrow in another series base.
ball game. BY winning it, West
ern can maintain a mathematical
chance to tie for the title, for
the Red and White nine meets
Eastern in the last series garte
and by winning both Of these can
finish out their string with three
wins and one loss.
The BusineSS-Eastern game
had all the aspects of cru
ciaI game until Tech rudely
upset the dope by humping
the StenOgs off last Friday.
True, the latter can still COM
plicate matters by trimming
Coach GuyOn'S SluggerS, but
their chances of doing this
are quite remote.
Lack of capable hurting has
been the weakness of the Stenogs
all season. None Of their trio OF
slabmen at best are anywhere
near the equal of Dick Lanahan,
Eastern's hurting ace. Besides hav-
ing the best Schoolboy pitcher,
Eastern also has the hardest hit
ting team in the series, having
slammed in A runs in their two
games. This is mute proof Of the
power of their attack, so it looks
like it will take a miracle for the
Stenogs to stop their mad rush
to their third straight champion
ship.
To make the week a complete
one in so far as settling champion
ships are concerned the tennis
teams of Central and Western
meet tomorrow in the match that
will decide the title in this sport.
The latter rate as a strong fav-
orite to win for they are unde-
feated in local circles this season,
having suffered their only setback
Saturday when they we're shut out
by the Penn freshmen racquet
wielderS.

CUTOFF PLAY
DESCRIBED
BY RUTH
By BABE RUTH

BY BABE RUTH
7 'Listen, Babe" Mac asked
me, "when there's . runner
| on third and one on first and
I they start a double steal,
! what's the best way Of stop
} ping it?"
| ''Why, I guess the cutoff
play" 1 said. That's what
we use most Of the time."
"Yeh. but what's the cut
! Off" he asked.
: Here's what I told him:
The minute the runner on first
freaks for second the second base
man Immediately cuts across to
the bag. The catcher naturally
starts to throw, which is the
signal for the runner on third
to dash home. Instead Of throw
ing to second base, however, the
catcher shortens his throw to a
distance about half way between
the pitcher and the second base
man. The shortstop dashes
across from his own position to
take the throw and without so
much as a glance at the runner
going into second, cuts off the
throw and hurls the ball back
to, the catcher to get the man
going home.
The picture shows better than
words what I mean. The picture
shows Mac (the second baseman
over the bag the same as If he
was going to tag runner coming
into second. But you will notice
that Joe (the shortstop) has come
way in on the grass in line With
the throw ready to cut it off
and shoot it back to the catcher
The advantage of the cut
off, of course, is that there
is all that dis ance between
Joe and second base saved,
and the throws are made
shorter and quicker.
Meantime the third baseman
covers his own bag the minute a
double steal starts, so he is ready
to cover up in case anything goes
wrong or in case the runner from
third stops on the line and q
1un-up play is necessary. In case
Of a run-up play the shortstop
cuts back to the third base line
to get in the play and the pitcher
also cuts over. In that case the
second baSeman holds his own
bag as a 4rLat against the other
runner advancing further.
On the other hand, the runner
at third may not max any at
tempt to run home. If that
should be the case and it looks
like the runner on third will not
run home then the second base
man will shout to the shortStop
to let throw go. The shortStop
steps aside az second baSeman
takes the throw and by so doing
it gives him a chance for a put
out at second.
The breaking up of a double
steal sound like a complicated
play but it really isn't. Once a
boys team has practiced it a
few times they'll have the theory
of the thing down pat. The sue
cess or failure, of course, de-
pends Itirely on the throwing
arms !. / accuracy of the catcher
and the man who handles the

TARIFF FLOP FOR FARMERS

Kansas continues to occupy the center OF the
political stage Not even the fulminations OF
Senator Hiram johnson over the prospects of linn
iting senatorial debate on the London Naval Urea
ty nor the prediction of Mr.. Copeland, the Grumpy
Democratic Senator from New York, that Hoover
would be reelected in 1882, can keep the federal
focus from the great wheat state.
Mr.. Legge, it seems, says the Farm Board will
buy no more wheat He admonishes the farmers
TO cut down their acreage. The farmers, remem-
bering years of high protection oratory want to
know why they should have to reduce production
with tariff of 42c per bushel. "Why doesn't the
tariff work ?" they ask, and Mr.. Legge of course
being responsible to high protection administra-
ton makes no answer.
The tragedy of the situation lies not much in
the utter futility of the present tariff of 42c
in one of SAP, but in the fact that our exam
pie is being initiated abroad where increased rates
will be effective against the Kansas farmers.
France Germany and Italy raising HawleS-
Smoot barriers against foreign wheat, in this
case Kansas wheat, and at the coming British I'M
perial Economic Conference in London it is plan
ned to adopt measures whereby the Dominion will
favor Canadian wheat, again at the expense of the
Kansas farmer.
Now Governor Reed sees all this and proposes
that American farm implement companies limit
their sales abroad, thereby preventing increased
wheat growing abroad. But says the Wlchlts
Eagle, this would only curtain the consumption
power of American labor and thus indirectly wOul'
also decrease the demand for Kansas wheat
All of which shows that farm relief IS NOR
complicated than the tariff gesture OF 42c pc
bushel would indicate.
