At bat they knocked “Whitey” Malco and Bob Gatenby for fourteen solid blows and in fielding looked team Exeter At like an entirely different than has performed in uniforms for some time, short Robinson handled smoothly four chances, one of which started Exeter’s double play of the night. Brint­ nell snagged three nice flies and trapped Heinbuck off second on one of them; and behind the plate Smith worked well. Batting honours amongst Robinson, Ormerod. Each punched out three safeties. In four times at bat Ormerod had a perfect night. On his second time up Keith sac­ rificed Smith to second. Glover started on the but Ormerod took over second and finished the He hurled smart hall and gave the home club but four hits. Mitchell scored one run off him in the sixth, the only one he gave up.

HOWARD FERGUSON, MANAGER Phone 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 moment they collide rendered unconscious? Answer This answer comes unconscious- time the 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 Did H . a the second called out ini- 2, If a .baserunner passes preceding runner, runner shall be mediately*. 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.

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, other’ three players?• were from RCAF Centralia. However, as a team the and took rivals for Of the the slab, looked the most impressive to this observer. Yelle doesn’t look to be long for Intermediate "‘O’ company and should be headed further up the ladder in a very few seasons. He pitched Dash­ wood to their third win last week against Clinton RCAF.

The South Huron group has drawn up the remainder of its schedule. It appears elsewhere on this page. To Replay (Janie The Hensall Baseball Club did not contest Exeter’s protest of a game played in that town on July IS. This knocks a win and a loss of the respective teams’ standing. The game will he re­ played in Bonsall on August 3. Monday night iff Hensall the home team shoved two runs across the plate after two were out in the final inning to edge Goderich 6-5. Houghton tossed for the winner>, Mero for the lossers. Smart *Kall After watching Exeter trim, Mitehell* Monday night by a 9-2 count, one wonders what has been holding them back. It must be admitted that the locals have had tough luck with their pitch-! Ing staff hut neither in hitting nor fielding have they shown anything such as we witnessed in‘Mitchell. The hoys backed up Keith Ormerod’s fine mound per­ formance in excellent style. If they can display that kind of ball they will give any club in the league a battle in any nine innings.Another bit of encouraging news is the. fact that both Chuck Seymour and Harry Holtzmann have got rid of their^ casts and will be on hand A (food Shot There are a around the countryside just now and all of them are serving a verv worthy purpose.
