BASEBALL PROBLEMS
By BILLY EVANS.

Stealing home is a play that invari

that can arise, that there is almost sure
TO be some interference protest made
one way or the other. Usually, the
play IS close, and the team getting the
wrong end of the decision has a kick
coming on the question of judgment
in \ game in one Of the minors last
year, there was a runner on third with
two down and the pitcher up. The man
on third was fairly fast while the
pitcher was a very weak hitter. With
two strikes and no balls on the batter
the runner from third made a break for
home on the next ball pitched. He had
a pretty good start and his chances for
making the plate looked fair. The
catcher, in his anxiety TO retire the
runner. rushed in front of the plate, re-
ceived the ball before it had passed over
the plate. and retired the runner from
third.
Not thinking. the umpire waved the
runner OUT, but, Immediately allowed
the run, as he realized where the
catcher was when he received the ball.
He declared a balk because the catcher
had left the lines OF his position. The
declaring Of the balk entitled the runner
from third to score. Then another aTgu-
ment started. The batter insisted that
he had intended hitting at the ball, and.
since the catcher had gone in front sOf
the plate and received the sphere, that
player had interfered with his intention

Answer to Yesterdays Problem

The play seldom comes up, and in
way was a rather peculiar one. The
umpire would have acted more wisely,
however. had he allowed the strike-out.
Since the ball struck the protector and
bounded squarely into the air, Jackson
really was struck out. Had the ball
struck in the protector at the neck mo-
mentarilv ana then rolled out. Thomas
making the catch before it struck the
ground. the umpire would have been
right in not allowing the out, as the
protector would have aided in making
the catch. The rebound must be direct
for an out. Mack, TO illustrate the play

the following question to him: say
that "A fly ball knocked to the outheId
was lost in the sun and struck ere of
the players on the chest, bounded off,
and was caught by the other fielder V no
was backing him up before the ball
touched the ground. what would you do?
The umpire said ne would declare the
man out. Mack finally made him see
the foul-tip play in the same light.
