KAVANAUGH'S RULES
IMPORTANT POINTS COVERING
 PLAYS IN BASEBALL.
The Double Steal is Denned and In- BtRuctiOns Are Given to Scorers On Several Very Important
 Points.

Memphis, Tenn, May 17.-(Special) ] important points have been brought out covering some plays in baseball bv Fresldent Kavanaugh of the Southern
 The double steal is defined and in. structions have been given to scorers @&o. pay attention to several other dA tails that may have bearing on the flu. ture history of the players.
 In the case of a double steal where the catcher gets one of the stealers by his throw. the other stealer IS not to pc credited with stolen base, accord ing to Judge Kavanaugh's definition or fair play in the scoring rules. The judge has evidently taken the stand that the runner reaches the base on the play and the same treatment should be recorded by scorers as is ap- piled to the runner reaching first base
 On infleld sacrifice hits, when the batter intentionally sacrifices and the ball is handled by the catcher, first baseman or other fielder in plenty of time to catch the batter at first. do not give the batter tthe person attempting to sacrifce) a base hit if the fielder throws to head the runner at second and gets the ball there too late. Ac- cording to Judge Kavanaugh. just way of scoring this play would be to allow the batter sacrifice. He ac- complished his part of the work and by so doing, robbed himself of oppor- tunity for a base hit, therefore, rules Judge Kavanaugh, he should be eX- empted from a time at bat.
 No one should be charged with mak- ing an error on this sacrifice play un- less the ball is dropped or fumbied when perfect handling might have in- sured an "out" of one runner.
 Other definitions and instructions given to scorers that will be of vast benefit to amateurs and professionals in the Southern and other leagues Will be found following:
