Spe a kin 8
of Sports

Through misprint in the box
score of the recent game between
the Stanley Rules & Level and Lam
ders baseball teams in the Indus
trial league, there was a slight mix
up in the hits made by the various
players on the Stanley Rule team.
Jack Argosy, Stanley Rule first
baseman, was credited with five
times at bat and no hits while
Wendroski was credited with five
times at bat, two runs and three
hits. Argosy should have been Civ
en- credit for four times at bat, one
run and two hits while Wsndroski
went hitless in five trips to the
plate. This change will be made in
the official batting averages
Ripley in his Believe it or not"
feature in last nights Herald, gave
an explanation of his claim that a
pitcher could pitch only nine balls
IN nine inning game.
We take exception to this claim
and base our exception on the rules
OF baseball.
His explanation is that the pitch
er throws a ball to the first batter.
The batter makes a triple. Then in
succession, the runner on third tries
to steal home and the batter inter-
feras with the catcher. He declares
that the batter is out and the run
her goes back to third base each
time. This is repeated in every in
ming with the three batters follow
ing the first one being declared out.
According to the rules of base ball,
the batter is out in a play of this
kind only when there are two out.
With none out or only one out, the
runner is out for interference IF
the batter with the catcher. We
quote the rules as follows:
Rule 81, Section five. dealing with
the subject When Batsman is out"
states: The Batsman is out ,
(Section 81 If he attempt to hinder
the catcher from fielding or throw
ing the ball by stepping outside the
lines of the batsman's position. or
in any way obstructing or interfer-
ing with that player; except that the |
batsman shall not be out under this |
section if the base runner be de- |
clared out according to Section ID
OF Rule So"

THAT BAEBAROUS PRACTICE

After every lynchlnG in the South it usually is related in the news dis patches that the mob left the scene and went about it's business as if nothing had happened. Only the po- lice and the reporters are supposed to get excited over such an affair. The mob is pictured as returning home with d good conscience.
 The latest episode of the kind in Georgia was one of that sort. The negro is said to have confessed his crime to an officer of the law before the mob took him in charge. In all probability, had the law been al lowed to take it's course. the negro would have been executed in short order.
 We suppose that among the lynch- CTS guilty Of this murder there were many citizens who go to church every Sunday, who believe in law and order, and who devoutly believe that all the laws should be strictly obcyed. They believe in every item in the |. S Constitution, indeed, except that relating 10 trials for those charged Hth crime and in the 14th and 10th amendments. They believe, Of course, that the 18th should be strictly cntorced--cspccially in the North.
 All the sane jvnchlng parties arc our most hclrous exhibitions of a disregard for law Those taking part in them arc on 3 Dar with larbarians regardless or }be veneer of civilization under which they may

SEN .ATOR UNDY'S NEAT
 REPORT

Senator Grundy or Pennsylvania did not do badly during the first speech in the Senate since his ap- pointmcnt, which took place Satur- day in reply to an attack by Senator Blaine Of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin senator thought it an opportune time 10 make some eXtraneous re- marks about Senator Grundy rcla- tive to what the latter was shown to have remarked about President Hoover shortly after the latter's election. But the Wisconsin senator made his remarks at a time when another subject entirely was under consideration. In customary scn- atorial fashion he merely departed from his subject to attack somebody he didn't like, this time a fellow senator. The pennsylyanian held himself in admirable restraint, merely rcmarhing at the conclusion or the Wisconsin senator's speech that the half-hour's exhibition illustrated the manner in which time is wasted in the Senate while more important business must wait.
 It IS useless 10 discuss what Sen- ator Grundy once said or thought about Mr. Hoover That he thought in line with a large number of other old-line Republicans is scarcely 10 he doubted. They did not want Mr. Hoover 10 be nominated but could not stop the Hoover sentiment among other Republicans. In this connection one well remembers the strenuous opposition or !. Henry Bora back, who instructed Connccti- cut delegates 10 be for Coolidge 10 the last ditch, advice which they duutully followed,
 Perhaps Mr. Foraback agreed with Mr. Grundy's conception or Mr. Hoover al the time. aud if SO he merely showed more wisdom hv not making T speech about it.

LEVITT HAS X GOOD CASE

Like a bull dog not amenable 10 reason, Prof. Albert Levitt of Red ding firmly holds his teeth into the brooches Of the Public Utilities Com mission.
 Prof. Levitt is convinced that the Public Utilities Commission should be fired from office for failing to do it's duty in carrying out the law relative to the elimination of grade crossings. One robuff in Judge Jen- nings' court has failed to stifle his ardour. He is back with an clabor- ate brief, greatly to the disgust ot the Public Utilities Commission.
 The general public will not regard Prof. Levitt as 3 man vno is un- worthy oc serious attention. He knows his law. He also knows the law on the statute books. To the average intellect 1t IS perfectly clear that the law requires the New Haven railroad 10 eliminate grade crossings and that the railroad has not been ordered 10 do so in anything like the regularity demanded by the law. This being more Of fact than a surmise, 1t can be asked why the Public Utilities Commission should not conform with the law. That, in effect, is what Prof. Levitt wants to know. All he has received is reasoning that the railroad has not been able to afford all the law de- mands Of it.
 A good way for the P. |. C. to prove this point would have been to order grade crossing removals and thus force the railroad 10 prove its poverty in court.
 If the law regarding the removal Of grade crossings is harsh or wrong. then it should be changed. It is not the business Of the r. L. C. 10 de- eide whether law is right or wrong. Its business is to enforce it.

BRICKS FOR THE BERLIN
 SCHOOL

Not only IS the school building question in Berlin apparently settled, but the method of providing the building is 10 be rather unique. This refers, of course, 10 the fact that F. o. Clark Of East Berlin, member Of the Berlin finance board and also member of the Legislature, also plant, will donate the bricks in the building to the town.
 Such generosity is not frequently met with. Usually, when public building is erected, firms in the business of providing the material and the work ye with one another for a piece Of the public pie. From the sale of 900,O0O bricks, the num- ber 10 90 into the ten-room build ing, some brick firm would have made a neat profit. Mir. Clark not only dispcnscs with the profit but also donates the cost Of producing the bricks,
 Such civic patriotism IS or q prac- tical nature and forms q precedent that VIC fear will not be generally followed.
 Come 10 think Of it, why not name 1t the Clark school?
