some Of the Fine Points Decided by
Official Scorers.

An Office in connection with baseball, whose
difficulties are not generally appreciated, is that
of the scorer. While his work does not expose
him to the public criticism and abuse that the
umpire receives his task is anything but an
easy one. II 10 true that the number of in
competent scorers is lamentably large, and that
this is due 10 their cuIpable failure TO aeQuaint
themselves with the rules. Yet apart from
knowing how 10 apply the rules there are num-
erous other difficulties which a knowledge of
the game does not obviate. The competent
scorer must have the rules at his fingers end,
and the quick pereeptiye faculty to apply
them properly. There often arise cases
in which he must act in the dual
capacity OF umpire and scorer. For
example, a runner reaches first base almost
simultaneously with the irstbaseman's nuff of
a throw after the battad ball has been Clearly
handled. The runner may have beaten the ball
out, and the question arises as 70 whether he is
safe on an error or by beating the ball TO nrss
he should be credited with base hit OF
course If any player is advanced by the NUT an
error should be given anyhow. But the Ques-
ton of whether the bali or the runner reached
the base first must be decided. The man being
Internationally sale there is no need for the
umpire 10 determine this point, but the scorer
must do so in order 10 score the play properly.
The scorer must also Use his discretion in
determining whether or not q ball is too hot 10
be handled. and Il hit or an error should be
given on the helders failure 70 hold IL So
throughout the entire game he Is called upon
70 exercise his Judgment As 10 the nature of
each of a great variety of different plays

which there are no provisions in the rules. A

OF discomfort in this players mind, but have
spread the false report that Manager Powell's
treatment Of bis men is very harsh and abusive
ale II is true that Powell has had occasion at
times to speak sharply to his men, as often be-
comes necessary for successful manager TO do,
the report OF his bad treatment OF them is
Nnoily without foundation. The trouble in the
particular case mentioned Is due 70 his having
been reprinanded by Powell for playing for
record, and told to sacrifice AZ the bat when the
good OF the team demanded IL. The player felt
sggreyed At what he considered an injustice,
aud has since entertained hard feelings against
his manager.
