Sporting Editor Star:
The ball was thrown to second to eaten
a runner who was taking long lead. he
started for third. The second baseman
threw to third and the runner threw up
his arm as if to interfere with the ball,
but the ball did not touch him. The
third baseman was standing on the line
and the runner ran into him in order
to reach third The baseman held the
runner down. This caused an argument,
and as the umpire did not call time the
runner stole home while the opposing
players were arguing. What should the
decision have been? The umpire called
him safe The opposing team quit play
ing. Would YOU count this as for
feited game? j. ID. w.
If the runners interference did not
cause the baseman to drop the ball the
decision of the umpire seems to be cor
rect as the baseman takes a chance OF
being bumped by a runner when he
stands in the runners path to the base
The game always is forfeited when one
team refuses to finish IL If ordered to
play by the umpire
Sporting Editor Star:
