Exeter T imes- Advocate Pho ne 31 w on SPORTS By T. P. BEGLEY 3 Last Week’s Question: With the bases filled and two out, batsman apparently triples, three runs cross the plate, but the batsman fails to touch second base. The ball is thrown to sec­ ond and he is called out, retiring the side. What runs, if any, score?’ Answer: All three runs count. The fail­ ure of the batsman to touch second base has no bearing on the status of the preceding run­ ners. They score on the batter’s single. Force Play A force play can be made only when a base runnei' legally loses the right to the base he occupies by reason of the batsman becom­ ing a base runnei' and he is thereby forced to .advance. Note: On force plays the base runner need not be touched with the ball but the base must be .touch­ ed before the base runner reach­ es same. Dead Ball (Not Bi Play) 1. If a pitched ball strikes any part of the batsman’s person oi' clothing while the batsman is standing in his position, whether the ball is struck at or not. 2. If a balk is committed. 3. In case of an illegally bat­ ted ball. 4. In case of a foul hit not legally caught. of interference with or batsman. a foul hit strikes a ox* umpire before touching a fielder. \ 7. In case the ball is handled by a spectator. (If a fail' hit the batsman shall be entitled to two bases.) Choice Of Innings, Fitness Of Field The chQice of innings shall be liven to the manager oi' captain the home team, the most that the .home bat, but this be reversed, the field foi' lies with the 5. In case the infielder 6. In case base runner 8 of usual procedure is team is last to could quite easily The fitness of beginning a game manager oi' captain, of the home team, but once the game has started and time has been called, the umpire alone is the sole judge as to .whether play will re­ sume or not and groundkeepers will be under the control of the umpire for the purpose of .put­ ting the ground in proper con­ dition for play. Running For Batter This is a matter of courtesy given by the manager or captain of the team in the field. If the captain in the another batter reached .permit fielder -when the team at mat re­ turns to the field, there is jio objection. This usually applies when a player is playing in the game with an injured leg. Coach Running Toward Home If while third base is occupied, the coach stationed near that base shall run in the direction of home plate, on or near the base line while a fielder is making or trying to make a play on a bat­ ted ball not caught on the fly, or a thrown ball or a fly ball, and thereby draws a throw to home base, the base runner en­ titled to third base shall be de­ clared out by the umpire for the coaches’ interference with and prevention of the legitimate play. Note: This warns the coach at third not to try to fool the play­ ers of the team in the .field into making a false throw to head off an apparent runner trying to score. Before this rule was adopt­ ed there were some players who made a speciality of this un­ sportsmanlike practice. Did You Know That: 1. if the first game of a double header is started, and called off, the second game must be .called off. 2. Fastball w o u 1 d outdraw or manager of the team field agrees player to after the first base, the batter to permit run for the batter has and agrees to to stay as a part of the country. 3. Connie Mack, manager of the Athletics, was the first man to originate and use signals in baseball, he did so when,he was a catcher for Washington. 4. In baseball there are 71 rules (softball 68) . These rules are sub-divided into many other rules called, sections. 5. Baseball scorers . in the major leagues receive $13.00 per game. To qualify they must cover over 1'0 0 big league games a year foi* three years. 6. In one game, the plate umpire makes approximately 27 6 calls. Baseball Quiz: Is it possible for a batsman to reach first base on a foul fly that is caught? Answer: Strange as it may seem, believe it or not such a thing is possible. If the batter hit a foul fly that is caught and in jso doing he be interfered with by the catcher, he is entitled to first base be­ cause of interference. A Bouquet To: That grand old man of Base­ ball, eighty six years of age this week, Manager and President of the Athletics, .Connie Mack. Isn’t it wonderful how he can keep going, taking those long train hops, sleeping in hotels and spending hours in the dugout every day. Yes. Isn’t it wonder­ ful. Fastball As night games are being played more and more every year now due to lights being in­ stalled in ball parks, more fans are coming the .games. What the to see is a good close with few errors and were played with each ing a longer than they are now, gether with an increase in pitching distance, I don’t how we could miss packing stands. This game permits base runner to leave his base as soon as the ball leaves , the pitcher’s hand and don't think it is easy to steal bases, it’s not, due to the bases being longer, but it certainly would speed up the game because of less errors and cut down the high scores., And last hut not least due to starting time being at fl p.m. not only is it in the cool of the night, but it would give the working man a chance to come home fro m work, eat, dress, without rushing. Why not give it a. try? As I have pretty well covered the book, this week’s edition of the Times-Advocate winds up my column. I sincerely hope that my readers, whether ball players, or ball fans, have gained a little more knowledge of the rules of baseball. To the teams who are battling the playoffs out, may the Deciding Game Bengali won the third deciding game of their semi­ final round -with Dashwood on their own diamond on Tuesday night by a 10-4 count. They will now meet the Lucan Irish next series. With the score tied up going into the last half -fifth, Hensall pushed one across the plate and came through with another in the seventh to take the lead in a closely played tilt. In the eighth and final inning Hensall added four more to earn a clear-cut victory. Bob Sadler toed the mound for Hensall and, while striking out but two, scattered seven Dashwood hits. Ray Yelle sent eight Hensall batters down swinging but the winners were able to bunch their hits and take advantage of fielding mis­ cues to come out on top, Yelle gave up eleven safeties, four in the last inning. Dashwood led off with two runs. Pfaff clubbed a triple and came in on Gaiser’s grounder that Kerslake threw wild to.the plate. Gaiser later scored on Haugh’s single. In their time at bat Hensall came right iback. Corbett walked, stole second, went Boussey’s grounder on Wilson’s infield ton shoved Wilson base with a timely Neither team second but in the third Hensall broke the deadlock. Wilson, first up, singled, went to second on Horton’s safety, and came in on Mickle’s infield roller that was bobbled at first. Hensall increased their lead with another tally in the fourth, Corbett coming home after sin­ gling on Boussey’s one-base blow.

Have you resigned yourself to a life of mediocre achievement? .Henry Ford was more than forty, before he became estab­ lished on the road to fame And fortune. Yet he was but one of a host of great leaders in all fields who did not make their mark until they reached middle age. This is not surprising. For there is plenty of evidence to prove that, in almost every kind of work, peak efficiency is only attained after many years of experience. An efficiency test of factory workers showed that top producers averaged forty­ seven years of age! "Ah,” says someone, "but you can’t teach an old dog new tricks!” Nonsense! Modern psy­ chology has exploded this idea sky high. The middle-aged can learn just as well as youth—if they want to. So if you feel that lack of education or technical knowledge is holding you back, don’t just bemoan the fact. Start a planned program of study. It’s worth the effort! Practical men of middle-age make definite preparations for their retirement. Millions of people have saved for their old age through life insurance and enjoy basic comforts — and often such "extras” as new homes or travel — which bring happiness in "sunset years”. more and out to see fans want ball game, if fastball man wear­ glove and bases five best team win.
