Just off-hand you would say that a bonehead was a player without any sense. But that's wrong Did you ever hear a manager say: "He's crazy, but he has just enough sense to play baseball?" Maybe you thought he was kid ding. but he wasn’t. It doesn’t always take a brainy dome to top off a smart ball player. Let's take a couple of eases far enough back in the misty past to keep from hurting anybody's feel ings (though there are plenty of such cases in the league today). But, anyhow, just consider "Tacks" Parrott and 'Bugs" Raymond. Now, Parrott, in his best day. didn't have an overabundance of convoluted think stuff. Yet he wits not a "bonehead" on the field. Ray mond's case was the same. If The Insect had had a problem in quad ratic equations to do to save his life he'd be a goner sure. But he could keep his end up in baseball. So clearly It isn't (he dumheads who pull the bones of baseball. Hugh Jennings, in a newspaper article, once said: 'I don't believe there is such a thing as a 'bone head' in baseball. It is a fault that boars a wrong Jtatne What we un derstand nowadays as a ‘bonehead’ is merely a man who van not think quickly." And there you have it Raymond and Parrott couldn't think deeply. But what thinking they could do was done quickly. And that made them “smart ball players*" It is likely that some of the great philosophers and thinkers of the age would have been "bone heads" at baseball because they < ouldn't think quickly • • • ANOTHER thing about bone heads" sometimes a man will get the title saddled on him for a couple of plays, correctly made by the player but misunderstood by the fans: and it may take him a lifetime of smart playing to get rid of the title. Says Jimmy Callahan ftne day I heard a crowd jeer an out fielder because he refused to catch a long foul. There was a runner on third and only one out in a tight game To hnve caught the ball would have tllo.wrd the runner to score from third <if course, he dropped Rut the fans yapped al That * just uni t.vainskas Up to a few years ago the aver age fan was all at sea over the hit-and-run play When a man lit out from first on a hit hall that to the fans was obviously a liner right into an Infielder's hands, they thought hr was a deep-dyed bone. They supposed that the player ran . because he did not have any better sense. Right today there are plen ty of regular fans who can't see why players are so often doubled up when they would have been safe by holding first. J. Callahan cites another exam ple of a supposed "bone" that real ly wasn't one. Says he. "I remember an Instance of last summer that also illustrates the point. I was coaching at third base. Harry Lord was on first with one out and we needed ttvo runs to tie the score. On the hit-and-run play, Pat Dougherty made a line hit to right field and Lord legged it to third. The right fielder lined the ball to second base, and just as I grabbed Lprd and stopped him at third, the second baseman fum bled and booted the hall. This would have let Lord come home, CRACK IN BOXING LID IS FOUND IN ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK. ARK. June 5. —A loophole in Arkansas' penal code large enough for boxers to escape from the charge of prize fighting was recognized here by a Justice of the peace, when a case wherein arrests had been made at the instance of Governor George W. Donaghey was dismissed for want of evidence that the principals had been fighting for a prize. Fight followers assert that this paves the way for further boxing contests here, and say that preparations are be ing made to follow the advantages gained today. The defendants freed were Adolph Jacobson. Homer R Heard and Referee Jack White. The contest took place before the Rose City Athletic club last Friday night. SAM EDWARDS PITCHES A NO-HIT NO-RUN GAME COMMERCE. GA . June s.—Sam Ed wards held the Royston team to a no hit no run game here yesterday, strik ing out thiiteen anti issuing only one pass. The fact that the Royston team is made up of such stars as R. Ginn. Robinson. McWhorter, Jordan. Brooks and others makes it the more note worthy The score was 11 to 0. RACING DEAD IN LOUISIANA. BATON ROUGE. LA.. June 5. -That horse racing in Louisiana has little chance of being restored was shown today by a poll of the lower house of th< general assembly, when a majority of the members of that body expressed themselves as opposed to the bill in troduced several days ago providing for the restoration of racing in New Or leans.

At the same time the um pire sent me to the bench for using my hands to push Lord back to the bag and the crowd thought that Manager Duffy had taken me off the coaching line for pulling a bone-headed play.” About al! the moral there is to this tale Is that it doesn’t pay to judge players hastily nor is it wise to size a man up as a fool merely because lie can’t think quickly enough to keep up with the speed of a baseball. The worst looking play is sometimes for the best and the slowest thinkers are sometimes the deepest.
