Here’s A Brain Buster
Chicago, June 7—Before its gets
too Warm, you might try busting
your brain against this problem:
Baseball team ‘A’ plays a full legi
timate nine inning game, makes 54
hits—yeah, I said 54 hits—but fails
to score a run and is shutout, 4 to
0 by team ‘B’ which made one hit.
There aren o errors on either side.
How does this happen?.When
you give up, look at bottom of col
umn for answer.
* ♦ * «
Odds and Ends
The columns 21 gun salute for
Hilton Smith, pitching ace of the
Kansas City Monarchs, who turn
ed in a no hit, no run performance
to blank the Chicago American
Giants, 4 to 0, in a league game at
Kansan City. Only one Giant rench
od first, the result of a walk, and
he was promptly wiped up in a
double play. Cornelius, who him
self allowed only throe safeties,
while whiffing four, was the op
posing hurler.
Schmeling has spent $15,000 in
five Atlantic crossings since his
bout with Joe Louis last summer
.Movie rights to the Louis
Braddock match have been sold for
$25,000, the sum paid for the Ix>uis
Schmeling fight and $15,000 more
than was paid for the Louis-Car
nera battle. .. .Art Iliver, heavy
weight who represented the U. S.
at the Berlin Olympics and then
came back to gain the decision over
Max Baer in his first professional
bout last fall, lost a close one, last
week at Chicago’s Marigod Gardens
to Buddy Knox, white.
Brain Buster Solution
Team ‘A’ gets six hits every in
ning for nine innings without scor
ing. It is accomplished this way:
first three men upl load the bases
on infield singles. Fourth, fifth and
sixth batters hit ball along third
base Vine and spheriod touches run
ner coming hom«. Ifficial rules say
that when base runner is struck
by batter ball, runner is automatic
ally out but batter is credited with
safe hn That, therefore, makes
six hits an inning with no score
for a total of 54 safeties.
Team ‘BJ could get four runs
various ways. For instance three
men might walk to load the bases
and fourth man up blasts a home
run.Probably nobody will ev r
see a game like this one, but it’s
entirely possible according to the
rules.

More than ever before, owners
and breeders of fine horsdes in Nebr
aska have a special interest in the
! Ak-Sar-Ben running races now in
progress at Ak-Sar-Ben track in
Omaha, beaause one race every day
is exxclusivety for Nebraska-bred
horses, of which thero are 81 en
tered by 32 owners.
A total of $14,000 In prize money
is up for purses in these Ndbraska
races. In addition, 3 per cent of the
purso in any ‘open’ race which is
won by a Nebraska-bred horo will
go to the breeder of that hore. Thus
Nebraska breders will get both re
cognition and financial reward
when local horses make a good
showing.
The local race is only ope of
seven which are run every day ex
cept Sunday during the season,
which opened May 27th and which
will continue through Monday,
July 5th, this year. The first few
days were attended by large crowds
particularly over Memorial Day
week nd, when Saturday, Sunday
and Monday constituted practically
a three-ay holiday period.
Since racing returned to Omaha,
owners and trainers of horses from
all over the country have been pay
ing more and more attention to
running at the Ak-Sar-Ben track,
and an exceptional array of horse
flesh is on hand for this year’s ev
ents.
Profit from the races will also !
assist live stock breeding generally ;
; throughout Nebraska, because
county fairs receive a sum of mon
ey out of the Ak-Sar-Ben proceeds j
each year.
