To the accompaniment of clinking glasses, Barney Ross last week at Chiâ€" cago signed articles to risk his world‘s welterweight championship in a 15â€" round battle against Jack Carroll in Australia for a guarantee of $45,003%. Formal signing of the match occcurred at a lunchecn given by Ross for Charles Lircas, Australian promoter. At Villano this fall t along journs right ; mater. Ho | witl Barney Ross Signs to Meet J.

Home runs have lost much of their former thrill isut history recalls a fow that, because of some peculiar twist that accompanied them, possess added glamour. Score Sheet Doesn‘t Show All Points in the Ball Game (By William F. Robertson) Baselsall fans delight in pouring over the records of the past. The exiploits that various players have esta‘blished for posterity to shoot at are always interesting. However, some of the most exciting incidsnts and achievements in baseball are not registered in the official reâ€" cords. One may search vainly for a trace of them in the daily box scores. Reference is made to those freak plays and unusual happenings that occur cnly at spasmodic intsrvals on diaâ€" monds everywhere. Such occurrences are dismissed rather lazily as events for "the book." Relatively few fans know just what "book" is alluded to, but everyone knows that somewherse there is such a book wherein are reâ€" counted the plays that hapsen "off the record." Or oldâ€"timers may recall made by Billy Purtell of the some 25 years ago in a game a homeâ€"run. And that run, incidentally, was the margin by which Boston won the game. A unique specimen was produced years azo by Norman McMillan, who played third base for the Cubs. It was the last half of the ecighth inning, the seore was tied and the bases were full some 25 years ago in a game with th>: St. Louis Browns. He hit a hot graundsr which went straight tcward the third Art Griggs, playing that poâ€" sition for the Browns, had his eye on the ball all the way, or at least until it got within a foot or so of him. Just as he reached for it it took a weird loop and hit the field®r squarely on the foreâ€" head and i:â€"3dunded into the stands for of Cub runners. McMillan slashed a drive past third base. which outfielder Swanson of the Reds swiftly pursued. But, much to the chagrin of the entirs Cincinnati team. the ball disappeared. Around here and there went the bewilâ€" dered fielder, searching frantically. M#â€" Millan travellsd unencumbered around the bases and the game proceeded as Swanson returned to his position, â€"A few minutes later a Cub rookie, who had been warming up in the left field bullâ€"pen, starttd for the dugout. He tucked his glove under his arm, picked up his jacketâ€"and the ball fell out o3 one of his sleeves! Chicago fans reeall with much anâ€" guish how Hack Wilson lost a fly sall in the sun in the 1929 Worid Series that resulteéd in a home riun for Mule Haas in that hectic oneâ€"inning uprising of the Athletics that year. But a quesr quirk involving Lance Richbourg and Freddy Lindstrom in 1931 added an even goofier homer to the list in "the In a game at the Polo Grounds that year, Lindstrom, then playing with the Giants, sent a towering fly to right field. Richbourg pranced under the ball, but just as he did so a dense cloud of smoke from a tugboat in the nearby Harlem River suddenly enveloped it. The eager fielder was temporarily blinded and when the ball was finally returned to the infield after thie smoke had cleared Mr. Lindstrom was resting serenely in the dugout.
