permanent road work this year.
"A serious accident befell VIM. J.
Henderson, who resides on portion of
the farm formerly owned by the late
Orrin Pomeroy in Fulton, Thursday
afternoon. He was engaged in cutting
wood and had fallen tree which lodg-
ed in another close at hand. While
cutting away the obstruction the tree
became loosened and fell quicker than
he thought and owing to the deep snow
he was unable to get out of the way
and was pinioned by the heavy tree
which fell across his leg, badly crush
ing it just above the knee. The frac-
ture was so serious that DIR. Mum of
GAINESVILLE was called to assist Drs. Nc
Chesney and Cleary in reducing it. The
bone was so badly splintered that it
became necessary to drill the broken
pieces and put them together with a
silver wire. 1t was long and labor
ious operation requiring several hours
work by the surgeons, but Mr.. Hender-
son rallied from the operation nicely
and is getting along as comfortably as
can be expected, all things considered.
1t is believed he will be saved the use
of the limb but must be confined to his
home for long time.

WHAT is A BALK?

The most misunderstood rule In all
OF baseball is, in all probability, the
one referring to balks. The rule it.
self is SO ambiguously worded and
so full OF doubtful English that the
following explanation, written by one
of the league umpires and illustrated
by an example, will be Illuminating to
neary every devotee' OF the national
game.
Listen! "
In the first place, q batsman Is new
er entitled to become base runner
on a balk. A balk never counts as a
ball. Many people confuse the balk
with the illegal delivery or unfairly
delivered ball. The Illegal delivery
or unfairly delivered ball applies only
when the bases are unoccupied. IL
with the bases unoccupied, the pitcher
delivers the ball to the batsman.
while either foot Is not in contact
with the rubber, then the umpire
shall declare IL a ball, even though
IL should conform with all OF the
regulations OF a strike. Should any
OF the bases be occupied, the umpire.
before the ball reaches the plate,
should declare the delivery a balk.
The declaring of the balk entities all
base runners TO advance, but has no
effect on the batsman.
Summing up the above, an illegal
delivery Is a bail only when the bases
are unoccupied. IL becomes a balk
with men on the bases. Here the pen
atty is changed from ball to allow
ing all the base runners TO advance.
Illegal deliveries are seldom called
by major league umpires. The pitch
er's rubber is Always covered with
dust, and as the man back OF the
plate has jurisdiction over such a
point, II Is next 10 impossible for him
TO say from a distance of over so

yite trouble he considers 1t good judg-
ment not TO try TO draw such hair.
line ruling.
Major league umpires try 10 mix
good judgment with the rules, espe.
cially when interpreting the balk rule.
For instance, II a pitcher, while going
through the motion preliminary to de
livering the ball. caused his cap TO
fall down over his eyes, and then
stopped his motion, II would be balk
according to literal Interpretation

of the rule. 1t Is never so classed,
however, as the umpire calls time.
just as soon as such thing happens,
making the situation just the same
as 1t was before the pitcher started
to deliver the ball. II the ball slip
ped out OF the pitchers hand as he
was about to deliver 1t, and the ball
fell to the ground at his feet, 1t
would MT be classed as q balk. The
umpire would simply send the base
runners back to where they were be-
fore the twirler started TO deliver
the ball, regarding the slip as an &C.
cident and not an attempt to deceive
Eddie Collins, I'm one Of his recent
letters to his newspaper, related a
story. relative to a balk, that was
sure to mislead every minor league
and amateur umpire and pitcher that
read 1t. Eddie, I'm order to show what
a prominent part quick thinking
played in base ball, cited this as an
example,:
Jimmy Dygert was pitching a game
at New Orleans, base runners were on
third and first base. II seems the day
was rainy and the grounds heavy.
Dygert started to throw TO first to
catch the runner there mapping. He
Immediately saw that the runner had
such a big cad that he had no cnance
10 get him, and that IL he went
through with his throw, the runner
who was on third and had started for
home, would surely score. According
10 Eddie, Dygert showed his gray mat
ter at this point. Instead OF going
through with the throw to first, jim
my threw the ball into the ground at
his feet, thereby escaping the balk
penalty" Then he quickly recovered
the ball and retired the man at the
Plate. saving the glorious contest. IL
all reads nicely to illustrate quick
thinking, but II really wouldn't be
wise for Jimmy to pull II OF in the
American. The throwing of the ball
to the ground was a balk. pure and
simple. Under no condition should
the umpire have allowed an out at
the plate. On the contrary. the run
per AZ third should have been allowed
to score, and the runner on first sent
TO second. After starting to throw to
first. nothing could save Dygert from
balk, except the completion OF that
throw. the receiving OF the ball by
first baseman.
