One of the minor leagues in the East furnished a play last year that created considerable discussion. At first glance, the play appears a trifle confusing, but after a little deliberation is clear enough. At the time the play came up men were on first and second base. The catcher, a mighty good thrower, noticed that the man on sec- ond was taking a big lead on each pitch. The score being close, he made up his mind to try to get him napping on a snap throw. Calling for a pitch out, he made a beautiful peg to second as the short stop raced over ro take the throw. The runner was caught flat footed, and seeing there was no chance to get back to second, made a break for third. A run-up ensued between second and third. The man on first, in the meantime, believing that it was al- most a certainty that the other runner would be retired, advanced to second. He remained stand- ing on the bag, awaiting the outcome of the run-up. Try as they might, the infielders were unable to tag the runner out, although almost every player in the fleld was taking a part in the play. Finally, the The flelder who had just runner was forced almost back to second. received the ball threw his arm around and touched the runner stand- ing on second, who had advanced there from first; then he quickly turned and put the ball on the runner, who had been caught napping, before he could slide back into second, The team in the field contended that both men were out. They based their contention on the statement that standing on the base did not exempt the man who had come up from first, since that base be- longed to the other runner, and that since the other runner was touched out before he could get back, two men were out. The side at bat had a contrary opinion. The umpire decided only one man was out, Whereupon the other team left the field. Answer to Problem. The umpire was right in ruling only one man out. While second base belonged to the man who originally held it, the runner who came up from first was empt from being put out while standing on the base just so long as the other runner was not on it. On the return of the runner to the base in safety, then the runner who came up would be forced to vacate and be unprotected. But in this case, the man stunding on second was touched before the other runner slid into the bag, hence he was not out, as at that time he was exempt. The only man out was the original holder of the base, who was tagged out before he could get back in safety. The umpire in charge of the game advanced an argument which easily makes clear the situation. Said he: “Instead of the play coming up as it did, say the runner slid into third in safety instead of into second and there being retired, would the man on second be declared out? Of course not.” (Copyright by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) VETERAN OF HARNESS RACING |GOLF STAR HAS GONE TO WAR Dean of Sport Began to Handle Reins Back in 1890—Won Over Million Dollars in Purses.
