Last Weeks Question
There are baserunners on first
and second base, the hatter hits
a long fair fly ball, .the left
fielder and the centre fielder
start running for it, collide and
are both knocked
Should the .umpire call

Answer
This answer comes

and are
u n d e r
Suspension of Play, apd while it
may seem inhuman, it was writ
ten for a very good reason,
namely —- to stop players from
feigning injury. So tiihe could
not be called until the ball is re
turned to the infield and held
by the pitcher, on the rubber.
Well here we are on the home
stretch of our league and now
each and every team will be bat
tling just a little harder every
game for an extra two points.
The nights will soon 'be .getting
shorter, so get those games
started on time, and above all,
keep reading that rule book. ,
Entitled To Bases
Under this rule any thrown or
pitched ball that strikes an um
pire shall be in play and base
runners shall be entitled to all
the bases they can .make.
Coach Interfcrs With, Play
Any thrown ball that strikes
a'coach on foul ground shall be
considered in play, but if in the
opinion of the umpire the coach
intentionally interferes .with the
thrown ball, the baserunner or
runners must return to the last
base touched, and the coach is
penalized by the removal from
the playing field. So you see, it
is a very foolish coach who will
not try his best to get out of the
way of thrown balls.
Interference (Batter’s Out)
If the batter attempts to
hinder the catcher from fielding
or throwing a ball by stepping
outside the lines of the batsman’s
position, or in any way inter
feres with the catcher, except if
a baserunner attempting to steal
is put out, the batsman shall not
be out. Mlany people think this
is a double penalty, but it is not.
Must Touch All Bases
A baserunner must touch each
base when advancing, in legal
order, and .when obliged to re
turn to a, base must retouch the
base or bases in reverse order.
Should a runner miss a base on
what appears to be a home-run
the umpire will not call the run
ner out until the play is ap
pealed, and the ball thrown to
that base before the runner
touches said base. In the Huron-
Perth AA-Star Game Jerry Smith
missed second base by a fraction
of an inch, but as the second
baseman did not see it, I did not
call the play, otherwise Jerry’s
thrpe base hit would have re
sulted in him being called .out
had the second baseman for the
Northern group or any one of
his team, appealed the play, and
touched the base.
Ball Hits Batsman And Bat
This is a play that happened
last week in the Major League.
A pitched ball hit the batsman
and also his bat at exactly the
same time, and then rolled along
the ground - this ball was not
swung at, many people believed
the batter would be given a base.
Umpire ruled it was a foul

2, If a .baserunner passes
preceding runner,

3, A Jjatsman fails to^take his
one minute after
called for him,
4, A heavy penalty is imposed
on Major League players if they
throw the last hall >of .the game
to the spectators. This is to safe
guard against a scramble in the
stands which might pause an in
jury to spectators'.
5, A balk in Baseball entitles
all runners .to advance one base.
In softball it is a called ball by
the umpire,
6, Ash is the most satisfactory
wood for baseball bats.

Turn The Tables
In four all-star games staged
by the Huron-Perth Baseball
Association, the north group won
in 19 46-7-8. However, the 1949
version proved to be a major
upset, with manager Joe Creech
and his boys trimming Tom
Hawkins’ prizes 15-6.
The surprising thing is that
of the thirteen players on the
winning lineup, all but three of
them call their home club those
belonging to the tail-enders in
the Huron-Perth standing. Five
represented Dashwood, three
Exeter, and two Zurich,
