Often it takes an actual happen- to point out the defect in a rule regarded as fool-proof when made. Up until recent years, if the um- pire was hit-by a thrown ball after an inflelder had made a play on a batted ball and was attempting to tire the batter, the ball immedi- ately became dead and the started all over again. | Here is the freak play that caused a revision of the rule. Had it not | been changed the umpires would probably have had to wear suits of armor. Eddie Collins and Jack Barry, then starring at second and short for the P'hiladelphia Athletics, pulled the play, however, without any malice aforethought The game was played at York. One of the New York bat- ters, with two out and runners on | second and third, hit a hard drive through the pitcher’s box that looked like a base hit. 2ddie Collins made a remarkable play on the ball but was in no posi- tion to throw. Sensing the situa- tion, he tossed the ball to Shortstop Jack Barry, who was equally alert. Making a hurried throw to first in an effort to retire the batsman, Barry hit Umpir, back, as he raced over o first to get a better view of the play. Both runs scored on the play and the batsman reached second. York yelled murder when the um- pires sent the runners back to their original bases, second and third, and made the batsman hit over. The game was protested but the umpires had rendered the correct decision according to the playing code and were upheld It was apparent the rule bad one. It made the umpires target for smart inficlders. In critical spot, where it was prac tain there was no chance tting the batter, all that was necessary to start the play over was to hit the umpire with the ball. The rule was changed at the urgent insistence of the umpircs, The ball is now considered in play it it hits an official, CITY LEAGUE GAHES was Burritts, Circuit Leaders, Face Se- vere Test Tomorrow in Meeting | West End Team.

Manager John Cabay expects to have his strongest lineup in the game in an effort to beat the down-staters but he realizes that this is one of the hardest tests the New Britain team will be called on to face. With Normandin, Moore, Ml the Dugas brothers, Sank, Liberty Zielke and Belair forming the team and West and Sullivan forming the pitching squad, the Norwich team bids fair to make all the opposition it meets this year travel at top speed. One of the largest crowds of lhl‘l season will be on hand to watch the game Sunday as the visiting club is one of the 1 ttractions avail- able.

The Middletown team since its re- organization, has an impressive gath- ering of diamond stars who will make things hot for all cpposition. |Last Sunday the down-river aggre- gation set back the strong Pexto team of Southington and dumped it out of first place in the league. The team has an exceptional bat- tery in Lester Lanning, formerly of the Bristol New Departuce team, and “Micky” Noonan, premier catcher of this city. The rest of the team con- tains the names of such stars as Krauth, Fitzgerald, Moulson, Red- nall, Witkowski, Winner #nd other: Manager John Tobin of the Corbin Red Sox announced today that he |had sccured Sowle of Hartford, an outfielder, as a new member of his club. The Captial City star is a right hand thrower and a left hand bat- {ter. He is at present leading the | Hartford Industrial League in extra | base clouts. He is a versatile man with an extraordinary whip. Recent- ly in a game with the Elmwood New Departures, he went into the box to pitch and won his game, allowing the opposition only two Fits.

The Butt Makers played a brand of baseball, hit the ball time- ly and, taking a lead at the start, | held it to the finish. Scott was in rare form again last night. He breezed the ball past the | Bearing Makers and turned in eight strikeott He was entirely too much for his opponents after the | first inning. He issued one pass in the second inning, letting out all his wildness in this frame, Bill Ferguson, who was on the | mound for the Fafnirs, was touched {up for 15 hits in the nine inning: | He passed three batters and these { with the hits, lead to a number of scores. The Stanley Works batters did most of their damage when two |hands were out and they were su- perior at all times with the stick. Three runs, which alone were enough to win, were the first runs scored by Stanley Works. Snyder hit the first ball pitched over second for a single. Gaida forced him at sec- ond but was safe at first. He stole |second. Green walked and Lipetz {mussed up Parson’s grounder to fill the bases.

It was more of a batting practice for the Landers team than anything else as the hits sailed out one after the other. Except for the first in- ning, the Universals pounded the hall hard and ran the bases wildly scoring run after run. The Universals got a total of 23 hits, including six doubles and scored a total of 19 runs. The Union Works found the slants of Billy Preisser for just five hits and scored four runs. The losers’ tallles came in the fourth inning when Nester booted {two, Darrow threw one wide of first | base and Micky Bucheri picked a slow one and threw high to first | losing his man. This was the only rally of the game staged by the Union Works. Landers scored five runs in the second inning, two in the third, four in the fourth, one in the fifth, two in the sixth, four in the eighth and one in the ninth.
