In case of lost ball, unplayable ball, and out of bounds the player must go back to where he played from and loose stroke and distance.

A provisional ball may be played in each case to save time. The-stymie rule reads: A ctymie is laid when both balls are on the putting green and the Kali lips in anv position aic via e- opponents ball lies any position which the player regards as interfering with his line to the hole, provided the balls be not within six inches of each other. If the opponent lay the player a stymie, the player may remove the opponents ball. The opponent shall then be deemed to have holed his next stroke. If the golfer playing within the boundaries of the putting green lays himself a stymie the rule does not apply.

The Western Golf association will not take cognizance of this ruling, as stymies are barred in matches under its jurisdiction.

Cleveland passed the Yankees and regained second place, a position which they hold by a margin of a half a game over New York, while the Sox are in the lead by three percentage points, less than half a game. Bush easily held the White Sox score down, tightening up whenever trouble threatened.

Horeb was just as good however and as the closing innings approached, it began to look as if Blanchardville would lose a 1 to 0 game. Noble himself came to his teams rescue in the seventh inning.

With nobody on base and two out, he caught hold of one of Stacks inshoots and baberuthed it over the fence for a clean homer, tieing the score. Neither team counted in the eighth, and no scores were threatened in the ninth. The tenth, eleventh and twelfth were likewise scoreless. In the first of the thirteenth the Blanchardville defense cracked for the first time. An infield error let Statz reach second base on what should have been an easy out at first.

The hit and run single was given and with Statz dashing for third, Klsdnheinz lifted the ball to right for a clean single, bringing Statz home. The score was 2 to 1 in favor of Mt. Horeb when the Blanchardville batters came up in the last of the thirteenth. Once more things pointed to a Mt. Horeb victory.

Stack was going good, and the Blanchardville men had not been able to hit him successfully all afternoon. Scan started the festivities by hitting the first ball pitched for a single. Knorr, Blanchardville catcher, followed with another safe drive, and before Stack could collect himself a perfect sacrifice had placed the runners on second and third. At this point Marty brought Scan home with the tieing run by dropping a Texas leaguer back of second base Knorr took third and scored a moment later when Mason rapped one down the first base line. The game was won for Blanchardville, 3 to 2.

The victory carried with it a purse of $200. Noble allowed nine hits during the game and whiffed twelve men.

He played in 1,030 games with the Indians, exclusive of exhibition contests, since joining the team, Aug. 12, 1912. Out of 3,786 times at bat he made 1,064 hits, for an average of .278, and scored 671 runs. He drew 442 bases on balls, struck out 412 times, stole 236 bases, and delivered 338 sacrifice hits. Chapman led the American league in scoring runs in 1918, with 84.

In runs in 1918, with eighty-four. In three years 1913, 1917 and 1919 he led the league in sacrifice hits, setting a worlds record in 1917 with sixty-seven. Chapman owned a fielding average of .938 for the nine years. In 1915 he had more putouts than any shortstop in the big league 378 and in 1917 he led the short fielders of his league in both putouts ajjd assists with 360 and 528 respectively. While he made many errors, Ray had been guilty of few misplays this season, and probably would have finished the campaign with his best fielding average.

While accepting more than six hundred he made only 28 errors. Columbia Cinches Southern A. Flag: COLUMBIA, S. C. By defeating Greenville, second place team, Monday, Columbia clinched the cham pionship of the South Atlantic 'as-ociation.
