Batter Is Favored.

But II the play were made other tha n
at first base IL always left open TO argu-
ment the question as TO whether or not
the oatsnan might have beaten the ball
TO first base. IL was maintained by the
advocates OF the Cincinnati" base nj;
that there was no way 10 tell for sure
In the absence OF the play at first base
whether the hitter would or would NOT
have been retired. Ii was maintained
that the runner should be given rhe bene-
tit OF the doubt Furthermore, II was
argued that the skill OF base runner in
avoiding retirement In the face OF a pos
sible force-out should reflect 10 the
credit of the batsUan.
Team play is one OF the most necessary
essentials OF winning club. Harmony
between batter and base runner must
prevail at all times in order TO estab-
lish this characteristic. In the interests
OF the base runner the batter must often
take chances on hitting balls at which
he would not offer il left To his own
initiative. or II no base runner preceded
him Working in conjunction with the
runner and having to Jeopa rdi5e his
chances OF hitting safely thereby. IL has
been argued that whatever return the
bnse runner may give Is nothing more
than fair and just TO be credited toward
the Joint cause OF the two.
