The man who has been quoted as saying "history is bunk" Is quietly gathering from all parts of America what Is regarded by his-torians as one of the greatest collec-tions of vehicles In existence. In the collection may be found a one. horse chaise "that was built in such a logical way It ran for a hun-dred years nml u day." There is a line old gig of the colonial period and a calash (or culeche) which was thought very stylish by the pilgrims. Then there Is an old mall coach of the type used for passengers, bag-gage and mall, There Is the Conestoga wagon, or prairie schooner, a genuine American product that followed the first moun-tain roads out of the eastern states, threaded the vast plains, crossed the Rockies and brought the first settlers to Oregon and California. The Con-cord coach, which was regarded as the last word In transportation and was capable of sixteen miles an Jiour, also Is represented, as also is the Pennsylvania buckboard, sometimes called the "Adam and Eve wagon," because It was built for two. Other exhibits are the common buck-boar-which was the first of the American light spring wagons; the phaeton, regarded late in the Eight-eenth century as the apex of style) the victoria, the rnckaway with itl small. Inclosed body; the American buggy often called the "queen" of the horse-draw- n passenger vehicles, and on old coupe-sleig- h of the early statehood period.

Jimmy Itlng of the Phillies wus the "wild man" of the National league last season, walking 103 batters. Dickie Kerr, former Chicago White Sox pitcher, will play with the South Bend this year. Outfielder Bill Cunnlnghnm hos been released by the Boston Braves to Sac-ramento of the Taclllc Coast league. A man In Evansvllle named his horse "White Rox" because It had four white feet and a star on Its forehead. Charley Hollocher, sick shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, does not yet feel able to take up active baseball play-ing. Nig Clarke, oldest player In the game In point of actual service, has been signed by Tulsa of the Western league. Jimmy McAuley Is a turn-aroun- d hitter. Therefore, the Bears have only two regular left hand batters Heath- - cote and Grimm. Dubuque of the Mississippi Valley league, hos signed Claude Wllhurm, a youngster from Sumner, Iown, as a first-bas- e candidate. Louisville has sent Jack Walsh, for-mer college catcher,' to Chattanooga of the Southern league, on option. Ex-perience Is all he needs. Arnold Stats has been pounding the ball fairly well of late. One reason for this is the fact that he Is not trying to bit to right field. Elmer Smith, utility outfielder of the Cincinnati Beds, set a record re-cently when he hit two home runs In one Inning while serving as pinch hit-ter. Harrlsburg of the New league has secured John Levi, Haskell college football star of last year, from the New York Americans under option. Hooters, the baseball variety, have formed a New York organization, and will band together to aid the Giants and Yankees to victory this summer. Colors have not been selected. CjOOOOOOOOOCXXOOOOOOXXXXX3p 8 ONE-BAS- E HITS Q (y JACK SIMPSON.) ft Infield Fly Ruls. For some unaccountuble reason the majority of ball players have never read a rule book, being content to leurn the rulings on the more dlfflcult pluys by their actual performance, al-though their Ignorance of the rules If rather costly at times. Many a close game has been lost by a player not knowing what to do when a certain play arose with him on base, completely Ignorant and at the mercy of the opposition. One of the most common of these situations arises over the players not knowing the in-field fly rule. Say, for example, a run-ner is on first and one on second base with none out. The batter pops an In-field fly to the shortstop which he drops. The man on second, if not acquainted with the rules, will imme-diately dash for third base only to be tagged out and a double piny made where only one out would result had he known the rule. This leaves two out and a man on first base, where we started out with men on first and second with none out This Is only one of many plays that lose ball games that can be traced di-rectly to a player not understanding one of the most Important rules. The correct play for the above situ-ation would have been for the base runners to hold their bases, as the batter was automatically out when he hit the Infield fly, regardless of whether the ball was caught or not. This rule was made to protect the baserunners, so that the lnflelder couldn't trap the ball and make a double play, hut not knowing what to do, he thought he was forced to go to third base and was easily caught. The rule Is very simple on this play and reads as follows: "With less than two down and run-ners on first and second or first, sec- - ond and third, the batter hits a fair fly, other than a line drive or attempt-ed bunt that resulted in a fly, that can be successfully handled by an lnfleld-er, he (the batter) is automatically out whether the ball Is caught or not." It will be noted the above rule ap-plies only when there Is none or one out and men at first and second, or first, second and third. At no other time Is It In effect. HEYDLER PREDICTS , 1925 BEST SEASON National League Prexy Sees Close Race for ' Flag. John A.
