A Cincinnati writer has made a close study of Pitchm- Alexander's most effective ball, and he speaks of it in this fashion: Alexander's strike-out performance in the early innings of the gamefour in a rowwas interesting for the way he did it. He used the same stuff all the waya ball that hadn't very much speed, but swung out to the right and downward. It was an out-shoot for right-hand batters, and an in-shoot for the left-handers.

Sketsi The Kosorvi II Seta Owl MORRISTOWN, Aug. haying received a full report from Umpire Thompson and Manager Frank hfoffbat Tuesday morning. President E. Fisher, of the Appalachian league, was net ready to give out a decisioa concerning the game which Wan protestel by the Knoxville club at Johnson City Monday. Mr.

Fisher stated that he would make a decision as soon as a full report from Umpire Thomp301 was received. Aocording to unofficial reports trott, Johnson City Manager Martin had reached second base in the fourth inking of the game wherein Knoxville was playing Johnson City. Taylor singled to right and Knox fielded the ball and threw it home to prevent Martin from scoring. But before tha ball reached the plate it hit Umpire Thompson and bounded away, Martin crossing the platter in the meantime. The report goes on to state that Thompson ordered Martin back to third, but later changed his decision allowing the Johnson City manager to score.

Manager Moffett then protested but the score stood and the two teams fought the game to a finish, Johnson City finally winning, 3 to SLIGHT CHANCE TO GET AROUND RULE IN MATTER Special to The Knoxville Stoeckel JOHNSON CITY. Aug. b.Manager Frank Moffett, of the Knoxville team. sent formal protest to President E. B.

Fisher Tuesday mqrning against the decision of Umpire Thompson allowing Manager Marlin to score In the garne here Monday afternoon after Umpire Thompson had been hit by a ball thrown from right field by Player Knox. In deecribing the play Manager Moffett "Martin was on second when Taylor singled to right. Knox fielded the ball cleanly and threw It into the dia, mond. Umpire Thompson was standing about ten feet in front of the plate with his back to right field. Instead of the ball proceeding on its way to Catcher Wallace it struck Thompson in the back and bounded away.

Thompson allowed Martin to score in, defiance to all rules to the coontrary. It certainly makes no difference what the final result of the Fame wa5 this rule was violated in the first place, and the game should be thrown out and played over." According to the foregoing Manager Moffett is right in his protest. The fact that Johnson City later scored two runs does not affect the matter at all. Owing to the uncertainties of basebalr it is lust possible that Martin would never have scored. or he might have been put out In attempting to do so, thus presenting the possibility of changing Johnson Citys batting order during the succeeding innings.

Rule Covering the Case. Ithe rule covering such cases follows: "Rule 55. Section baaerunner shall return to his base without liability to be put out if the person or clothing of the umpire interfere with the catcher in an attempt to throw, or the umpire be struck by a ball thrown by the catcher or OTHER FIELDER to Intercept a hobo That Umpire Thompson allowed Martin to score after he had sent that player back to third looks peculiar. in the face of this rule. Evidently "Legs" used a sort of hypnotic influence over the former outfielder.

and Mr. Thompson was fearful lest something would happen to him after the game was over. The race in the Appalachian at the Dresent time is ''red hot." All will agree to this. The particular game in question decided first place for the time being between KnoxVille and Johnson City. The fact that the Soldiers made two runs following the disputed score does not alter the significance of the rule covering this particular instance.

Martin might have subsequently scored during this same inning. it is true. But that argument is out of the question. If games were won and lost on "what might have happened" then there would be no occasion for rules. and all teams would be winners, regardless of actual results.

There is always an alibi for a defeat But if there are rules, they should be followed. That's the point And since the rules in this Instance were not followed. according to the information at hand. the game should be thrown out. I ROME WINS 1 Special to The Kooning Sentinel SOME, Aug.

BEGIN AT NEW YORK OCTOBER 7 to the end of the series. The season in both National and American leagues winds this year on Saturday. October 4, so far as the eastern teams are concerned. The western teams play their finales on the next day, Sunday, October 5. After the Giants conclude their series here with the phillies on that last Saturday and the Athletics wind up in their 'home town against the Yankees on the same date, there wik be two days of rest before jumping into the big Sunday and Monday intervene.

The Dates. Then, on Tuesday, the grand climax gets under way. The complete schedule for the series as outlined follows: Tuesday, October 7, at New York. Wednesday, October 8, at Philadelphia. Thursday, October 8..

at New York. Friday, October 10, at Philadelphia. Saturday, October 11. at New York. Monday, October 1st at Philadelphia.

Tuesday, October 14. at New York. This plan will be in force until one team wins four games, the same as in the last few In order to appreciate the importance, financially. of having the first game in Gotham. one needs only to glance at the complete schedule.

If rain should not interfere, and if the series should go the entire seven games, the big polo Grounds would stage not only the opening game, but the Saturday game and also the final battle, besides a fourth one on Thursday. Philadelphia would get only the Wednesday. Friday and Monday. The Polo Grounds can( hold almost double what Shibe park accommodates. And that is the way it wil be fixed.

Were the scheme reversed, it would mean a difference of maybe over in the total gate receipts, and $50,000, as we all know, is 850,000. i (1 '1 1 li 1 li I 1 I "Captain WYnne is the best base runner in the APpalachlan league," said one fan to another a few days ago when they were returning from a game at Chilhowee park. "Did you say the best? 01 certainly I don't even xcept such circuit men as Hicks, of Bristol, and Dubbs and Cleveland, of City. If Wynee ever gets on he's a dangerous man. He never lets an opportunity go by that will advance him a base." There was no -further argument Whether this particular fan had a few records at his command or not the writer cannot say, but there are many who will agree that Wynne is some base runner.

He has a fade-away slide that is absolutely the most perfect in the Appalachian league. Being very fast on his feet. he goes down on the baseman with all speed, and for a moment he looks as though he does not intend to slide. But like a. dash, he drops and has gone under the waiting baseman be 1 THEATRICAL BIJOU THEATER.

4 BACK AGAIN." 'hose two inioutable comedians, Geo. In and Cash Knight, are back in town. "FAVORITES BACK AGAIN.P1 Those two inimitable comedians, Geo. I Rehn and Cash Knight, are back in town. I They are appearing at the Bijou theatre this week in 'Paquita," a musical comedy which is thoroughly Spanish, or Mexican.

throughout. Both Mr. Rehn and Mr. Knight. are favorites with Bijou audiences.

Always appearing in Irish and Dutch characters they have these roles almost perfected, and their line of talk, mimicry and singing is the feature of the Performance. Miss Grace Wolfe, who did euch excellent dancing when the com-, Dany, visited this city recently, takes the Dart of 'Paquita. She leads one song number in the present offering, "You Made Me Love You." There is little plot'to "Paluita." It has been arranged that a Spanish grandee makes his appearance, and when he fails to win Paquita's heart as he has won all other women, a scheme is at once 'perfected whereby he and her father, the Dutchman. will compel' her to many the Spaniard. She is thrown into a dungeon.

and later fake ghosts appear: but the affair is so arranged that the Spaniard, the Dutchman and the Irishman all get a few thrilling experIences with the ''ghosts," and that scene ends in a triumph for the girl. The dancing of the chorus is very good, while the variety of costumes worn are strictly in keeping with the spirit of the offering.
