which the first base.nan drops, but throws
TO second for a force play. 4 remains on
hrst base and Il also reaches first in
safety. The umpire rules A out Oil q
force play and that 3 is entitled TO first.
Is his ruling correct, or does the infield

Decision vas correct. The infield fly
rule does not apply with only first base
occupied.
Sporting Editor Star:
kindly advise Inc through your columns
IN the paper as to how our noted base
ball leagues arrive at the average to thei,
percentages. I would like to be advised
how they figure this out.
W. A. Z. MILLER.
II the percentages in the league stand
lngs is meant by the foregoing, the proc
ess IS to divide the number Of games won
by the number of games played.
Sporting Editor Star:
Runner on third. Batter hits to short,
who throws to third. Runner going to
third fails to touch that base and keeps
on to the plate. Third baseman touches
third and throws wild to first. Runner
touches plate. and then realizes that he
failed to touch third and goes back and
touches base and then goes home before
ball is returned. Was he out under rule
5S section IL? II. Z. LEWIS.
Not unless the third baseman made the
claim (rule 80, in which case no such
tAngle could have arisen.
Sporting Editor Star:
The base ball rule book defines nine diff
ferent kinds of balks Section 3 of rule
q says the base runner shall be allowed
to advance a base without liability to be
put out If the umpire calls a balk. Does
this mean any one of the nine balks men
tened? D. PARSONS.
Certainly: otherwise section of rule "A
would specify the kinds OF balks which
do or do not entitle the runner to ad-
vance.
eporting Editor Star:
"a II batter bunts ball and is safe at
first base on the throw does he get credit
for a hit or a scratch hit? (2) Batter hits
ball to fielder. who makes error and run

was at first planned to make the event

would not give the association the cN-

Capt. James of the Columbia Country
Club team will very likely announce
weekly practices for his team, similar
to those held just prior to the Middle
Atlantic championship tournament. and

Will follow suit. All four of the local

Quite an interesting point came up In
polo last month in England when the
18th Lanciers were playing the 18th
Lanciers. Capt. George Bellville was by
AL odds the best player on the 10Th
Lanciers team The game was a hot
one and in the heat of the contest Mr..
Geoffrey Brooke of the 10th Lanciers'
team was unfortunately guilty of dan
gerous riding. Unanimous opinion on
every side. however. exonerates him
from any intention. as every one classes
him as q fine SPORTSMAN and rider. The
trouble was that his pony proved un-
eontrolable and the result was an acci-
lent to Mr.. Wyndham-Quin, which
might have been serious. The 10Th Lam
ciers claimed, under rules twenty-five

code. the executive of penalty No. 1.
