TWO DIFERENT RULINGS Explain why a batter is out if a fielder juggles a ball but finally retains possession of it and a baserunner is not out on a touch play in which the ball is juggled? | ao Up until the fall of 1919, when the rules were given a general revision, | the aang ene. fee ie juggling of a fly ball, and the sling of the ball after a touch if finally held, was the same. At that time the experts revising | the playing code decided that on a touch play the ball must be securely held, not juggled, to complete the out. Thus, if a runner sliding into sec- ond is touched with the ball while still three feet from the base, only to ‘have the fielder juggle the ball after the touch, the runner is not out if he can reach the base while the ball is still in the air, It matters not if the fielder finally retains possession of the ball on a touch play, The moment he juggles the ball after the touch, it renders the same void. In order to retire the runner it is necessary that he again secure a firm hold on the ball and onee more touch the runner before he reaches his objective. If a runner after being touched, and the ball is juggled, the play is rendered void and he can be declared asfe by reaching the base before the again touches him with the jed when he was playing r probably kept Louis Lena- Bismarck slugging sutfielde out of the big leagues.

Connie Mac manager, had said that “Smith had ja million dollar arm and a glass head”. Lindy got two homers and a double that day. In 1921 Lenaburg, playing with |Clinton, faced Pete Donohue, then | pitching for Baylor University, Donohue is now playing a big part with the Cincinnati Na- tionals, league leaders. Lenaburg made one hit in four trips to the, & | plate that game. Came to North Dakota In 1924, Oklahoma’s climate forced Lenaburg to move to North Dakota where he secured a position with the . Veteran's Bureau. During the mer of 1924, he went on a hit- ting rampage while playing with Ryder, Minot, Wiliston, Bowbells, and other cities in that section. In more than 30 games that sea- ey son, he hit for an average of *.570. No wonder that he received offers from league teams, Among now-famous players with whom Lenaburg has been associated with in baseball are Floyd Flippen, who played with Milwaukee in the American Association last year; Bing Miller, now with the Philadel- hia Athletics of the American league; Cal Stewart, now with the St. Louis Browns of the American league; Chauncey Warden, pitcher who later. went to Oklahoma City in the Western league, and Joe Rabbit, it is apparent the rules di: soni ppiciarine plays, that on surface seem much the same, the iter runner, there is perha: the ftitude tagen en to pay bold ibe alto complete ¢he| fe nk sage Buffalo’ in fee Interna- ional league.
