BOnehead Baseball

KreSS started for second base,
but for some reason known only
to him, stopped in his tracks.
It is fundamental that on all
balls hit to the pitcher, the
shortStop shall cover second.
He runs toward the bag, and
can throw naturally to first for a
double play. The second base
man does not cover, for the rea-
son that he must run away from
first, stop, pivot and peg to the
first baSeman. That is the hard
way Of making the play.
Another thing, on a sacrifice
play, the first baseman leaves
the bag and the second baSeman
covers first. Kress had no ex-
cuSe for not rushing to second
to take a peg that his experience
must have told him was coming.
This contention is supported
by Gabby Street, manager of
the Browns, who placed the
blame Squarely upon Kress.
I'VE make that play to the
shortstop," Street said. "Kress
should have covered the bag,
He started and then stopped.
If he had gone through as he
should have gone through, Van
Atlas throw probably would
have been caught, Lewis would
have been out, and the entire
inning would have been
changed"

Chances Enhanced

The PreaknesS is one mile and
three-sixteenths, or one-Sixteenth
shorter than the Kentucky
Derby. Dauber's chances would
be enhanced, it is felt, if it were
one-sIXteenth longer than the
Derby. Dauber, sixth at the
mile, was running over the field
at the finish, and in another 100
yards might have been the win
ner.
Dauber, incidentally, was the
selection of Joe Brocator, who
under the nom de plume Of Pad
dock, handicaps horses for The
Washington Times. The writer
feels it incumbent to apologize
for Paddock Brocator.
Here is q chap who gave us
Bold Venture, a long shot, to
win the race two years ago. He
picked War Admiral last year,
and behind this handicapping
he had such winners as Gallant
Fox, Twenty Grand, Cavalcade
and Omaha.
Here he throws us all down,
and the best he can do is pick
a horse which runs second and
pays only $12 to place and
$6 to show.
Misfortune is the lot Of the
Chicago White Sox this year.
Joe Kuhel is lost to the team
for an indefinite period with an
injured leg, sustained in sliding
into second base in New York.
Kuhel goes blighty along with
Luke Appling and Monte STRAIT
ton, who were injured during
the spring training trip.
Blow to ChisOx
This smashing wallop may de-
Stroy the little hope that re-
manned for the White Sox to
gain high rating in the Ameri-
can League pennant race. When
the Sox obtained Gerald Walker
and Marvin owen from the
Tigers this spring, Dykes firmly
believed that he had better than
q fighting chance to win the
pennant. But his hopes and
plans are just about ruined. He
may have a fight on his hands
to keep the Sox out of the Sec
ond division.
Kuhel broke leg sliding into
second base here in 1884. He
changed the direction of his slide
to avoid Spiking Charley Geh-
ringer. If Kuhel had gone
straight in he would have cut
down Gehringer, and it is quite
likely that the Tigers would not
have won the American League
pennant.
A play arose in yesterdays
game between the st. Louis
Browns and the Nationals that
illustrates just how confused ex-
perienced players can become on
elementary plays. In the seventh
inning Lewis beat out a bunt.
George Case tapped to Van Alta,
who turned and threw to second.
It was a perfect peg, but unfor-
tunately for the Browns, no one
was on hand to cover the bag.
The ball went to center field.
Lewis sped to third.

Oswald Jacoby,

The bidding itself was interesting
Vests early bidding was very decep-
tive and succeeded in fooling Mr..
Jacoby, who actually doubled the six
heart contract. Now If West had
contented himself with 4 fine result
and simply passed, he would have
made hts six hearts doubled with an
overtrick. But instead he decided to
try to get little more gravy and
redoubled. Now when 1t came back
to Mr.. Jacoby, he could not stand
by his own double and ran to six
spades. West naturally bid seven
hearts. Now Mr.. Jacoby, after con-
siderable study, decided that West
must have 13 red cards, which he
actually did hold, and accordingly
bid seven spades purely as a defensive
measure.
West guessed the wrong opening
and led the king OF diamonds. 1t
will be noted that if he opened the
heart, he would have set the con-
tract two tricks. Now Mr.. Jacoby,
who already had decided that West
held IS red cards, proceeded to make
his contract in the following man.
ner. Carefully rufing with the nine
Of spades, he led the three Of spades,
and when East played the deuce,
flnessed the sik-spot. He led a dia-
mond and ruffed with the jack of
spades, returned to his hand with
the ace Of clubs and led his last dia-
mond. trumping with the queen. He
now played q low spade from dummy,
finessed again. picked up East's two
remaining trumps and discarded his
two remaining hearts on dummy's
long clubs.
