Americus Literally Bunted Out
Eight Tallies in Third, and
Viiitors Blew Up
Dawson was'"‘easy pick’ngs” tc
the fast Americus aggregation here
Monday afternoon, Joe Jackson and
his boy? defeating the visitors, 15
to 2. Lefty Winga’d, wno was <ni
the mound for Americus “had ev
erything” and was never in a hole
at any time during the game. He
gave up a total of eight widely
scattered hits, which netted Daw
son only two runs, while Hines,
hurling for the Terrell county
crowd, was touched for exactly
double that number for a total of
15 runs. The run getting began
in the third when Americus literal
ly bunted out a victory, batter beat
ing put numerous bunts which
counted for hits in the box score.
In this frame eight runners crossed
the rubber, while every man on the
Americus batting list had at least
one chance with the willow, and
Duren, Wingard, Nolan and Wil
liams were each charged with two
times at bat before the inning was
over. In the fifth Americus pushed
two more runners across the rub
ber on two singles, a double and an
error, and in the eighth the home
team ran up four more tallies on
three doubles and two singles. Daw
son scored once in the sixth on three
singles, and again in the seventh
on two singles, a fielder’s choice
and a pass, but this ended the run-i
getting for the visitors. Williams
and ‘‘Big Bill” Parsons starred
with the stick for Americus, Par-'
sons getting two doubles and a sin
gle out of five tithes at bat, while
Williams laced out two two-baggers
in the same number of times up.
Joe Jackson had an off day with
the stick, getting only one double
out of five times at bat. Dawson
and Americus play here again Wed

THE PLAY—
I am indebted to Jack Coffey, the
well-known minor league manager,
for this play. Coffey formerly
played with Detroit and Boston of
I the American League, but now
manages the Macon Peaches in the
South Atlantic League.
“In the 1918 world series be
tween Boston and Chicago, Hooper
was on first, Dave Shean at bat and
no one out.
“After two unsuccessful attempts
to bunt and with the count two
balls and two strikes, Shean gave
Hooper the hit and run signal.
“Shehan missed the ball, making
the third strike and then interfer
ed with Catcher Killefer as he
started his throw to second to get
Hooper.
“Umpire Hilderbrand, who was
: back of the plate, called Hooper
; out, which was the correct ruling,
I although it did not conform to the
letter of the rule.
“Assuming Hooper would have
been thrown out except for the in
terference, had he been sent back
to first the offending club would
have profited by the interference.
That, as we all know, is not in ac
cordance with the spirit of the
rules. For every offense there
should be a penalty.”
THE INTERPRETATION
Tht rules state that if a batter
intereferes with the catcher in
making a play on a base runner go
ing to second or third the batsman
is called out and the runner sent
back to the base he occupied when
the play started.
In the play related by Coffey
such action by the umpire was im
possible. Hooper went down on a
pitch that proved to be the third
strike on Shean, first base being
occupied and no one out. Shean
was automatically out when he
missed the ball.
To complicate the situation he
interfered with Killefer in throw
ing to second. It was necessary
that Umpire Hildebrand use com
mon sense in reaching his decision.
The rules stat? that the batter shall
be called out. Since the batter
happened to be retired before he
committed the offense. Hildebrand
inflicted a second penalty by call
ing the runner out.
Had the pitch be- n a ball Shean
would have been called out, but it
was the third strike which caused
all the confusion.

PITCHERS' BATTLE
H ARLINGTON GAME
Tige Stone, Hecker and Hamil
ton Battle to 3-1 Victory
For Home Team
ARLINGTON, July 31.—Arling
| ton annexed a 3 to 1 victory over
I Bainbridge here yesterday in a nice
■ exhibition of the national pastime.
The game was a pitchers' battle be
i tween three pitchers, namely: Tige
i Stone for Arlington, Hecker and
Hamilton for Bainbridge. T»ge
! Hurled an excellent game, giving
• up only four hits, although Heck-
I er is charged as the losing pitcher
I he pitched a better game than Tige
! for six innings, as he went like a
house afire for that length of time,
not giving up a hit, but in the
seventh he displayed considerable
wildness, walking a total of thiee
men, Arlington scoring twice on the
I fre passes coupled with a wild
throw over third by Hecker. The
runs were scored without the aid
of a single hit, in fact Arlington
had not garnered a hit up to this
time, but Smith, first up in the
next inning singled, and it was at
this stage of the game that Heck
er was relieved by Hamilton, who
finished the game, giving up only
one hit also.

Smith and Jones are playing a
match game without caddies.
Smith’s ball lies on the edge of the
green about 30 feet from the hole.
Smith’s approaching putt is perfect
and were it not for the fact that
the flagstick remained in the hole
would have dropped into the cup.
Instead it bounded off and came to
■ rest within about six inches from
the hole. Is there-any penalty be
, cause the ball strug the flag stick?
Jones insists that it entitles him to
the hole.
There is no penalty. Jones is in
error in claiming the hole. Regard
less of the distance a ball is play
ed 'from, there is no penalty if it
strikes the flag-pole. As a matter
of fact Jones probably got the bet
ter of the break, since Smith would
have probably holed out had the
flagstaff been removed.
- Player tees his ball and while ad
dressing it preparatory to starting
his swing, the ball rolls from the
0 tee. Has the player the right to
[ re-t'ee the ball and is there any
penalty because the ball roled from
the tee as he addressed it?
There is no penalty and the play
er has the right to re-tee the ball
under rule 2.
In playing out of a sand bunker
a player grounds his club a yard
or so from his ball before taking
his stance. The grounding of the
club in no way improved the lie of
the ball. A contends there is no
penalty since the club was ground
ed before the player took his
stance. B contends a player must
not ground his club in the bunk
er. Who is right and what is the
penalty, if any?
A player must not ground his
club in a bunker, even though it in
no w r ay improves the lie of the, ball.
B is right. In match play the play
er who grounded his club would
lose the hole, while in medal play
there would be a two-stroke pen
alty.

36 MINUTES SHORTER
Domestic and Personal Service
Workers Put in Longest
Hours, Survey Shows
NEW YORK, July 31.—The
length of the working week of the
' average American employee has
declined 36 minutes in the last
! two years according-to a statement
by the National Bureau ot B :ono
mic Research, summarizing the re
sults of a nation-wide investiga
tion which was undertaken for the
Business Cycle Committee ot I res
ident Harding’s Conference Unem
ployment. Outlining the results of
the investigation, Dr. Williford L.
' King, of the staff of the National
Bureau of Economic Research, un
der whose supervision the facts
were gathered, said:
“According to some historians,
our great-grandfathers thought 12
hours a reasonable day’s work. For
more than a, hundred years, how
ever, the length of the working day
has been declining steadily until
the average American in the first
quarter of 1922 expected by his
employe); to work only 50 hours
per week, just a trifle more than
the eight hours for six ays as set
forth as an ideal by reformers of a
generation or two ago. The detail
ed figures covering all industries in
the United States show that the
length of the working week declin
ed 36 minutes during the two
years covered by the study.”
Os all classes of employers re
> porting, those engaged in render
| ing domestic and personal service
record the longest full-time hours
I for those working under their di
rection, the average being slightly
more than eight hours daily for a
seven day week. Farmers and re
tail merchants each require over
53 hours of work per week from
their employees. Employers in a
considerable group of industries
usually call for less than 48 hours
per week from their workers. This
group includes building and con
struction, finance, public and pro
fessional services, paper and print
and leather goods.
