Text	Pop Smith worked an old trick in a very slick way Tuesday. In the eighth inning, with one our and Hallman and Fogarty on second and third, respectively, Farrar popped up a fly to short left, which Smith permitted to drop safely in front of him. He then quickly gathered it in, ran over and touched Hallman and then threw to Quinn, forcing out Fogarty and retiring the side. There is no possible way of beating this trick by legitimate play. The rules committee should make a cast-iron rule declaring the batter out whenever an infielder could, by purposely muffing a ball, effect a double play., quoting the Philadelphia North American
