When a batsman assumes the proper stance he is always in foul territory. Ninety-nine times out of a hun- dred, a batted ball that strikes in front of the plate in fair territory and then rebounds sharply, striking the batsman as he is about to leave the batter’s box, comes into con- tact with his person in foul terri- tory. When a batted ball strikes the batsman in fo | territory it imme- crater becomes dead, is simply a fou! i Confusion is .caused by the fact that the batsman is hit with the ball as he starts to take his first It_is practically a physical im- possibility for the one step to carry the batsman into fair territory. Often the ball strikes the batter be- fore he has even a chance to make a break for first base. < tenth) New York last night. | Yankees were | .!

Taipale set a new Olympic record with a mighty toss of 148 feet,! 3 9-10 inches in the 1912 meet.
