& Speaking of Sports Baseball fans in local games are sometimes puzzled over whether a player who hits a ball into the outfield, gets credit for extra bascs or not when a fleld- er allows the ball to go throygh his legs. In the American Legion-Man- chester game last night at Walnut Hill park, Zembrowski, in the ninth inning, hit a ball to the outfield. This would ordinarily have been a &ingle but the Manchester playgr allowed it to go through his legs and Zembrowski made the circuit. Many gave Zembrowski credit for a home run but he hit on! a single and the error was good for three bases. The same thing happened twice in the Gasco-Fafnir contest at Wal- nut Hill park Thursday night. “Lefty” Haber whaled a ball on a line into right field. Barnes got his hands on the ball. It wasn't a dif- ficult play. The ball went by him. Haber made the circuit, but it was an error and not a home run. Later in the game, Francis Sheo- han hit a single to right field. “Wink” because his house in Kensington had been struck by lightning the night before, let the ball get away from him base. The triple. hit was a single, not a These techicalties in the scoring of games, take some of the glory away from the players who hit these synthetic home runs ani triples but the real baseball players don't care to get their hits in this manner.
