is penalized with a time at but Vet his
slow roller may be the means of win

This situation developed In tbe recent
world's series. To get a batting record
worth while tbe system of keeping a
record of "batted bases" baa been pro
posed and ' has been discussed from
tune to time during tbe past few years.
A batted base is given to every bats
man who by the use of tbe bat gets a
base himself or advances a runner one
base. '.
A stasia with do one on base would
give tbe batsman one batted base. Rut
if a batsman singles and scores -runners
from' second and third base the
batsman would get not one. but four
batted bases one for bltuBell, , out
for the runner from third and two for
'lie runner from second. A sacrliice
bringing a runner from third or ad
vancing oue runner a single base would
give tbe batsman ode batted base. A
sacrifice bnnt that advances runner
from second and Orst to third and sec
ond would give the batsman two bat
ted bases. ; .-: -''

Wagner la a corking good first, base

the transfer of Wagner from short to

touchy about bis amateur status U j
shown by bis attitude toward a prize j
be won at the professional-amateur
competition at tbe Mctacomet Golf :
club recently.
Ou account of his high rank as a i
player It waa decided toclass blm as a 1
proressionai since it ue naa oeen pair
ed as an amateur with a professional
other pairs would have stood a poor
show of landing first prize. Oulmct
and bis partner won second place,
which carried with It a prize of $40 for
tbe second best pro.-'
The club officials decided to give
Oulmet a prize equivalent to tbe $40
rather than one of tbe prizes for ama
teurs. Thereupon yulniet notified the
club that be preferred not to accept
the prize since It was based on a pro
fessional classification: that be agreed
only to help along the -tournament
and not for the purpose ot standing to
win a costlier prize than an amateur
would hare got in tbe same circum
stances. 'The prize money will have to be re
divtded following the amateur chaos
plon's refusal.
