QUESTION ON
UNUSUAL PLAY
Trick Of Scoring From Third
Base on the Fourth
Ball

Though it takes a vacation Of four or
five months during the coldest weather,
baseball is a live game the year
around. always furnishing topics of
conversation wherever two or three
fans are gathered together. Argu-
ments on questions Of baseball history
and records are on top at all times,
and this rule and the finer points Of
play are never-ending subjects of de-
bate. An interesting point was sub
mitted recently for decision, after
causing a spirited argument among
baseball patrons at a fan fest. The
question is as follows:
"There are two men out, with men
on first. second and third. The bat
ter has two strikes and three balls. The
man on third attempts to steal home
just as the pitcher starts to deliver the
ball. The umpire calls a ball, and the
catcher gets ther unner at the plate.
Does he score or is he out?"
In this play, the runner scores, and
he cannot be touched out by the CATCH
er at the plate. because he is forced
home the instant the umpire has call
ed the fourth ball. As soon as the
pitched ball has passed the plate, pro-
vided as in this case, it is called a
ball. and not a third strike, the batter
gets title to first base, and, as the
bases are already full, each of the
preceding runners is forced TO advance
one base without the liability Of being
put out. The force is in operation the
instant the pitched bah passes the
plate. Up to that moment the runner
from third base is taking his chances.
but he becomes entitled to score in
safety just as soon as the fourth ball
has been called on the batter
Detroit Tried II.
OF course, it is understood that If
the runner from third base starts home
before the pitcher begins to deliver the
bah the latter has a right to throw
not pitch-to the catcher in an attempt
to head the runner off at the plate

the season of 1906. With the bases
full and three balls on the batter. Bill
instructed the runner on third TO start
for the plate after the pitcher had
taken his position in the box. The
pitcher. seeing the move in time, threw
a wide bah to the catcher and the rum
ner was nipped at the plate and touch
ed out.
Manager Armour claimed that he
was safe on the ground that the ball
was pitched and was a fourth ball for
the batter. thus forcing all the base
runners to advance. This claim, how
ever, was not allowed, and il was held
that a pitcher has a perfect right
to throw to the catcher in an attempt
to head off a base runner trying TO
score, just as he has a right to throw
to any other base to catch a runner
who has started too soon. That is, he
can do so provided he has not already
started his pitching motion The fact
that he has taken his place in the box
does not prevent him from throwing
home or to any other base.
But the moment he starts his pitch
ing motion he must go ahead with it,
and the ball delivered must be regard.
ed as a pitched ball, and Judged ac-
cordingly by the umpire. If 1t is call
ed a ball. and the fourth for the batter,
the latter is entitled to first base, and
all preceding base runners who are
forced are free to advance without he
ing put out. That is the case in the
question submitted for decision. The
runner from third base can start home
the instant the pitcher begins his
regular motion in delivering the bah.
II the result is a ball and not a strike,
the runner from third cannot be put
out at the plate.
