Your question is not clearly put.
You say the shortstop held the ball.
Did he catch it on the fly? If so the
runner was out 1t was not an in
field fly" however, and the batsman
had to be retired by a fielder He
was clearly out if the shortstop
caught the ball on the fly. Other
wise he was safe. The runner had
right to score from third after the
ball was caught or muffed.

We have a baseball pool and through
some mistake one of the National
League teams got in with the other
seven American League teams and
this National team got twelve runs
and Washington and ST. Louis were
tied with eight runs. Should the man
with the National League team take
the remaining American League team,
or who gets it? GEORGE D. e.
A National League team surely
could not win an American League
pool, why not split among the three.
Be more careful next time.

What is the origin of the BARRIERS
pole? TONY.
Ancient BARRIERS performed minor
operations in surgery, and when
bleeding was customary, it was to
the barber that the patient applied
to be bled To assist this operation,
it being necessary for the patient to
grasp a staff, a stick or pole was
always kept by the harber-surgeon
together with the fillet or bandage he
used for tying the patients arm.
When the pole was not in use, the
tape was tied to 1t so that they might
be together when wanted and in this
state pole and tape were hung at
the door as a sign. Eventually paint
ed signs were used as advertisements
for BARRIERS. The bleeding custom
is still in use, but it's the bankroll
that's tapped nowadays.
