That point | was raised during a game in Nm\{‘ York between the Yankees and St.| Louis Browns. The officlals scorer as well as all the other scribiés, decided that such a thing was possible, As a result, Second Bateman Ward of the Yankees was credited with a most un- usual stolen base. | When a flayer steals a base, the im- pression conveyed is that the pitcher either allowed the runner to get too big a lead or the catcher failéd to make an accurate peg.

Ward accepted the challenge of Williams, and with every step that Willlams took toward second, Ward advanced a step in the direc- tionof the plate, When about mid may between home and third, Ward made a wild dash toward the plate, taking Williams off his guard. Williams at the time was just back of shortstop. His throw was a trifle wild and Ward casily beat the play. How would the play be scored? At the close of the inning several of the players asked me what I thought of it. T told them that Ward had un- questionably outsmarted Whliams in the matter and was entitled for some credit for so doing. The only possible credit was to score the bit of daring as a stolen base. T also offered the suggestion that it might be sco as an error since Williams had invited the situation and then falled to get his man because the throw was wide. ‘While such a scoring of the play would have penalized Williams, still it would have given Ward no credit for| his smart play. The idea of a stolen base was rather scoffed at. The impression.among the players being that a utnh‘n\mqo would | have to have the catcher and pitcher figure in the play. It was argued that such a scoring of sthe play would/ convey the impression that either the catcher or pitcher was at fault, yet in | this case neither had the slightest to do with the play. I understand that the play caused as much discussion in the press box as it did on the field. Evidently the | seorers agreed on a stolen base for Ward as that is the way it was car ried in all the summaries of the game the following day.
