PLAYING BETTER
EVER BEFORE
(By United Press)
| NEW YORK. Sept. 10. — The asser
I tlon by old-time ball playerR, so often
j heard, that baseball nowadays doesn’t
• bring out the hard-fought contests nor
the classy baseball that the "old days"
accorded, has been made so many
times that many baseball fans believe
it. Figures collected by John B. Fos
! ter seem to lean just the opposite
way.
For instance, when Brooklyn and
Pittsburg played their record breaking
twenty-two Inning game in Brooknlyn
recently, it was discovered that the
longest major league game on record
was played since the American league
came into the fold of organized base
| ball. It wras played eleven years ago
While that was a long time back, there
j are players now in the game who were
, playing then and they, for the most
' part, are quick to resent the statement
j that inferior baseball is played now
adays.
The same records show that the
longest previous National league game
was played in 1914 between the Pi
rates and Giants. If these records do
not prove two fighting baseball clubs
were taking part, then they appear to
prove nothing.
In 1910 the American league saw
its greatest number of draw* battles,
and the Natlonnl league had Its great
est year in that respect in 1913, both
seasons with the ken of present day
fans, and fresh in the memory of
young, fighting baseball players. The
record for consecutive extra inning
contests between the same clubs was
established only a year ago, when
Washington and Chicago mingled in
the American circuit for forty straight
rounds in three games.
Then there was tile system of rules
that permitted a batter to take four
called strikes, the rule that gave him
credit -for a hit every game he drew
a base on balls, the rule allowing fouls
ail day if necessary before a strike
was called, and the rule that gave the
catcher freedom to stand far back
and take the pitcher’s efforts on the
bound. Comparing those rules with
the present day set of laws laid down
for batsmen and a considerable dif
ference arises. The ball player today
doesn’t take the long chances because
they are impossible. Ty Cobb favored
by the old rules, would be hitting
something like .600 most of the time.

The Valdez-Fairbanks trail is in fine

During recent heavy rainstorms the
Nenana river changed its course and
the high water carried off several

MOUNTAIN FLIES
T
(By Associated Press)
EUGENE, Ore , Sept. 11. — Moun
tain flies went to sleep in the gener
ator of the telephone of a forest rang
er recently and caused no end of
trouble. A timber fire was discov
ered by the mountain lookout, and It
was necessary for him to arouse tho
pesky things before the blaze could
be reported.
It had been an unusually cold night
>n Prairie mountain, and emergency
linemen discovered that the insects
had crawled Into tho generator of the
telephone In an endeavor to keep
warm. By Instinct, or something, flies
from afar sensed the cozy sleeping
place and swarmed In the generator.
The box acted as a trap and the accu
mulation of flies eventually put tho
Instrument out of commission.
