T DENTIST TO SCAN TEETH OF STARS Defects in Chinaware of Mack's Players Must Un-dergo Repairs. Hidden foes the enemies that work In secret are not going to thwart Con-nie Muck In his quest for another pen-nant. As he put down Old Kid Tonsils for the count last winter, now he Is after a decision against Battling Molar and Kay O. Bicuspid. In other words, every mother's son of the Mackmen has been going to an y specialist to have an examina-tion made of his teeth. Any deform-ities, any outs with the chinaware are to be repaired and every man .who needs dental attention Is going to get it. As the fans will readily recall, Mr. Mack decided last winter that In the Interest of science, the box offk, and a pennant chase, tlvtt he would have severul tonsils exiled from many throuts. This edict went out and among those who underwent the opera-tion were Sllf Harriss, Stan Baumgart-ner-, Max Bishop, Fred Heimlich, and one or two others. There may be no affinity ttween absent tonsils and the present chase after the elusive bunting, but what-ever may be held of the Mackmen of this year's vintage, the removal' of ton-sils apparently did not hurt them any. Now Connie, who seems to tielleve that there Is a splendid sympathy be-tween the neat base hit and the physi-cal perfection of tonsllless athletes, has decided to take the bull by the horns and go still further. He has decided that he Isn't going to let any man's teeth dig a grave for pennant hopes this season and so goes forth the order to have fcJI molars, bicuspids, and wisdom teeth given the once over. ' s, Cedric Durst Stars ? t Cedric Durst, former St. Louis Urown outfielder, is now playing a ; mighty clever game for the St. Paul i team of the American association, t It is more than likely that Manager i- Slsler will recall this young stur this I fall.

Elmer Duggan, southpaw hurler and property of tlie New York Yankees, who was with Rochester until re-cently, has been turned over to Provl- - dence.

The confusion arising over the ques-tion of whether a batted ball is fair or foul can be overcome by applying the following simple rule. "A legally batted boll that settles on fair ground between home and first base or home and third- base-o- Is on fair territory when bounding to the outfield or hits the person of a player j or umpire while they are on fair ter-- ritory is a fair ball." The ubove rule covers every ball J that 4s hit regardless of how compll- - t cated the situutfon may seem. i A line drive hitting the pitcher's r slab and bounding back on foul terrl- - 5 tory between home and first base or home and third base is a foul ball be- - cause it Itaan't reuched the base. A batted ball that hits the ground on foul territory but the dla- - mond and stays there Is a fair ball. I A ground boll passing to the outfield t on fair territory may roll outside the foiil lines, beyond first or third base I and would make that a fair ball. All batted nulls that hit the first . or third hags are fair regardless of where they roll. It will be noted that 1I of the above casts are clearly de--' f lined by the rule.
