Zurich Wins
On their home diamond the
locals had even worse luck. Zur
ich scored in but three frames
but that was enough to collect
ten runs.
The third was the most dis
astrous for the locals when the
visitors picked on them for five
runs—enough to win the game.
Eleven batters went to the jdate
before Em Penhale struck out
Carl Heideman for the third out.
Ormerod«took over the mound
duties for Exeter in the fourth
when Penhhle retired with a
sore flipper. Zurich got. five
runs off him, three in the fifth,
and two in the eighth.
Carl Heideman went the route
for the winners and the only
frame Exeter could get near his
slants for anything like a rally
was in the seventh when Robin

right back to where we started.
The rule book says “One run

runner, after having legally
touched the first three bases,

a dead man can’t legally touch

, ♦ ♦ • •
Very offer! numerous players
and fans go, wrong as to just
when a batsmaq becomes a base
runner, Some say, “When he
reaches first base”, which is
wrong. The books says; “A bats
man becomes a baserunner (1)
Immediately after he makes a
fair hit, (2) Instantly after four
balls have been declared by the
umpire, (3) Instantly after three
strikes have been declared by
the umpire, (4) If the catcher
interferes with him or prevents
him from striking at a pitched
ball, (5) If a fair hit ball
strikes the person or clothing of
an umpire, (6) If
pitcher (unless he
effort to get out of
the pitched ball,’’
Before a batsman reaches first
base he is sometimes called a
“batsman runner’’. Another point
about batsmen which, no doubt,
you have often seen is: a hatter
stepping in and out of his box
when the pitcher is ready to
pitch. This is very dangerous as
the batter leaves the box at his
own risk. Umpires are humane
and will call time just about
any time a batter or player asks
for it (unless a play is on).

Speaking of baseball
some of the teams in this
of the country are using
with a flat side on them,
is illegal and a player using one
could be removed from the game
and any hit with such a bat is
void.
Some .people often msk, “What
is the length of the most com
monly used bat.” The maximum
length of a baseball bat is 42
inches but a Census of bat
lengths used in the Major
League shows that: 56 per pent
of the players use a 35-inch bat,
