The runner on second tried for third on the pitch, but was thrown out. What attitude is tak- en on such plays by the umpir: Time Called, Ball Is Dead. The rights of the batsman to leave his box depend to a large extent on the reason for so doing. If he leaves only to protest the judgment of the umpire the official seldom calls time, giving the pitcher the right to pitch. Often, to impress on the batter how he feels about the protest, the umpire orders the pitcher to deliver the ball. Often the batsman has a good reason for stepping out and notifies the um- pire of his desire. Perhaps there something in his eye, or he desires to change his signs with the runner, perhaps he seeks further orders from the bench. In all such cases the um- pire is lenient and, to protect the si uation. calls time. That is wh ing on a pitch. Since time had been called the pitcher had no right to! deliver the ball. and no decision is made on.it, the ball being dead.
