INGERSOLL, ONTARIO Last Weeks Question Should a fly ball strike the hands of a fielder, bounce out and be caught by another player on the field, .when can a base runner attempt to advance on tho -play? Answer: . The base runner can start to advance the moment the ball strikes the hand of the first player to make a play on it. He need not .wait until the ball is actually caught. If that was the cage players would juggle a ball on purpose, and in doing would confuse the base runner as to his right to advance. To start this week’s column I would like you to know just why an thppire should declare an infield fly. The last part of the rule states that the umpire should declare it, but runners may be off their bases or ad­ vance at the risk of th© ball be­ ing caught, so in declaring it as an infield fly, the runners know they can hold their bases in safety, and that they are not forced to run to another base. Running On Foul Tips “Som.etimes, ball games are lost by coaches, and players, just not being up on their rules. A good example of this is knowing that base runners can run the .instant a foul ball is caught and this includes foul tips, however if the ball is not .caught it is not a foul tip, but an ordinary foul ball and no bases can be run, as the ball is dead. Trade Mark Up One of the principal reasons why a 'bat has a trade mark js to Show you how to hold a bat properly. If you follow the trade mark up rule, you will find that there is less danger of cracking your favorite bat. . ' . play that no doubt in our district this has not , happened is on'e of the few Local Horses Do Well On Holiday Local ihorses took top honours at the Strathroy sulky meeting on Dominion 'Pay, Tom Yearley’s Amber Gratton posted the fast­ est mile of the day and captured the 2.22 class event, and Huron Express, owned by Frank Tay-1 lor, won the' first division and ran the fastest mile in the 2,28 class. x Cheered by most of the more than 8,000 fans who crowded into Strathroy Fail’ Grounds, Amber Grattan had to come from behind in the stretch to lead W. Eric McIlroy’s Silver Peter by a length at the finish of the third heat of the 2.22 class event. It was the tightest fight of the five races run in fifteen heats. Silver Peter, in the lead, driven by Tom Elliott, and ber Grattan, raced almost by side around the‘mile and sixteenth course. But Lloyd vey turned Amber Grattan loose in the stretch and Tom Yearley’s entry came through with a final spurt to take. the heat and the race. , Little Bill, three-year-old, by Corporal Lee ouv of Babe Grat­ tan, owned by D. R. Campbell and Sons, Ailsa* Craig, and rid­ den by Dune Campbell, was the only triple-heat winner of the day. In the first of two 2.28 class races for purses of $600 each, Huron Express, driven by Lloyd Turvey, triumphed with two firsts and a third in heats. Am- side one- Tur- ■x x.

Fpul Ball If a fielder while standing on fair territory, (just at the first or third base line) should reach out and attempt to catch a .fly and in doing so, deflects a ball into fair territory, it is definitely a foul ball, as the fielders posi­ tion does not make it a fair ball. The reverse also holds true in regard to a player standing on foul ground, and reaching after a fair batted ball. Many argu­ ments arise over this rule. Catcher Interferes With Batsman This is a will happen year if it already. It double penalties in baseball, it comes in. operation when .the catcher interferes with the bats­ man, in making a play at the plate on a runner, either .in try­ ing to steal home or score -on .a squeeze play, when this hap­ pens, an interference, ,plus a tyalk is called, so the balk en­ titles the runner to score, while the interference entitles the bats­ man to advance to first. Did You Know That 1. The batsman is out, if steps from one battens box another while the pitcher is his position ready to pitch. This rule was enforced to prevent t h e' batter from disconcerting the pitcher, and causing him to balk. 2. A batted ball that touches first base or third base is a fair hit, even though it later bounds foul. • ’ . 3. When a balk is .committed the ball is dead, this is often overlooked. , 4. When a pitcher relieves an­ other pitcher, the new pitcher is only allowed five warm up throws and time must not exceed one minute. 5. A regulation .game can be four and a half innings, .provid­ ing that the team second at bat srores more runs in four and a half innings, than the team first at bat scores in five innings. 6.
