The calling of an infield fly is merely a matter of judgment on the part of the official having jurisdic- tion over same. Umpires are not guided in their decision by some specific height that the ball must travel in the air to come under the infield-fly rule. An infield fly is simply any fly ball other than a line drive which the umpire believes can be ‘handled by an infielder. The moment such a decision is reached the umpire should declare infield fly for the guidance of base- runners and fiokders. Since the judgment of umpires dif- fers, it is possible that what might be regarded as an infield fly by one umpire wouldn’t so strike some other official. a0 = Rena ak ame 4 | Billy Evans Saye | —_—_—__ @ Severe Handicap Major league pitchers seem agreed that the baseball in use this year has been slowed down considerable. If such is the case and it appears to be true. then the poor start of the Philadelphia Athletics is partly ex- plained. The Athletics of last year played a cut and slash game. <A club, boast- ing many free swinging hitters, it didn't pay much attention to the get-a-run-at-a-time pan. No doubt.a lot of fly balls that would have cleared the various fences or struck the concrete walls last season are just plain outs this year. That hurts. The new ball may force a change in a number of major league the free swinging aggrega- tions in particular. | Unusual Hobby : It is. really stramge what ‘a hi baseball is, with men very suc full in other branches of busine: Ihave in mind a prominent New Yorker, Jess Hirsch, a wealthy im- _ VAN HEUSEN NO BANDS NO LININGS NO STAKCH WILL NOT WILT ECONOMICAL 12 Seyles, $0c Bach it further| porter, Baseball is Mr. Hirsch’s hobby, his relaxation frowh business.
