Players Position Doesn't Count.

A third baseman cannot let a bunt roll
and make It foul ball by stepping out
side the diamond and picking up the ball
while he ID on foul ground. Neither can
he make a foul ball fair by standing on
fair ground and picking 1t or foul
ground. In the same way an outfieider
cannot convert q fair fly into a foul by
standing on foul ground himself and
trying to catch the ball The only thing
that counts in such cases Ia where the
ball is when first touched by the player.
Lots Of umpires have been accused of
being blind because they called fouls on

.|NF|ELD FLY RULE:
Law, Not Understood, Once
Caused Protest in Ma
tionaI League.
PROTECTS BASE RUNNERS
Framed to Prevent Double Plays
by Infielders Under Given
Conditions.
BY I. E. sANBoRN.

A lot Of trouble grows ort Of the In
field fly rule. and 1t isn't confined to the
open lots nor yet to tho minor leagues.
either. Not so many years ago a pair
of Tom Lynch's umpires got go badly
twisted on 1t that a protested game had
to be thrown out and played over. and
even as late as last season there was q
conflict In tho big leagues over some of
the rules ramidcations.
Passing up the more complex refine
ments Of the thing, there ars two points
which puzzle a lot of persons. One of
theTa is when is an infield n.y." and the
other is what are the base runners sup
possd to dot" Some think an infield fly
is oas that comes down ineide the lin
its OF the diamond. as outlined by the
base paths. Others are aware that the
rule says It 10 a fly that "can DO han
died by an infielder." but are not aware
of tho full definition OF fnhelder. For In
stance, the catcher Is an infielder II he
handles q fair ball within the limits of
the inneld. So 10 a pitcher. Amy fly
which the pitcher or catcher can handle
outside tho diamond is foul, Of course.
Line Drives Not Included.
whsn any Of the innelders can handle
q fly II is not necessarily an infield ny in
the meaning Of the rules. No line drive
can be called an infield fly. because line
drires are expressly exempted in section
os rule 81. which defines the thing.
When an inhelder chases into the out
field after q fly 1t Is up to the umpire's
Judgment whether or not 1t Is an infield
hy.
Unless there are runners on first and
secoad bases with less than two out, even
an lnfeld ny is not an infield fly in the
mesning OF the rules. That Is. after there
are two out in an inning there is no DIFF
fert ace between an inf1eld and an outfield
fy. The same is true II there Is only one
base runner on the circuit. even II he
happens to be ON first
Ali fy balls look alike to tho umpires
until there happen to be runners on first
and second bases (or first. second and
third with no one or only one out.

ners are not forced to advance when the
batsman is declared out on an infield fly:
The section does not mean tho umpire VIII
declare an infield fly out with only nret
base occupied. That is governed by Sec
ton Of rule 81.
Rule Not Understood.
The confusion partly IL caused by not
understanding the reason for tho fnfield
dy rule. It 10 simply to do away with
cinch double play. Before this rule was
put into the code II there were men on
first and second (or first second and third
bases, and pop fly was batted to an In
fielder. said infielder practically was sure
Of making a double play on It. II the
runners stuck to the bases he could drop
the ball and force both Of them out II
the runners advanced while the ball was
in tho air he could catch 1t and double up
one of them before that runner could get
back. To abolish that cinch the batter
now IL declared out and the runners can
not be forced to advance. This play can
not be made with only runner on first
base, as the batsman can get to nrst base
ahead Of a double play II one Ia attempt
ed With runner on nrst base double
play is possible on a fine drive which Is
muffed, but a line drive never Is an In
field fly. When a fly is hit into the air,
with only a man on first, a double play Is
not possible, unless the batsman is too
lazy or boneheaded to run to first base
If he Is he ought to be doubled up.
As for the base runners, they are pro-
tected against being forced out on an In
field fly and their cue Ia to stand still on
the bases. They can advance after the
bali has been caught or muffed. but must
do so at the risk Of being put out, as in
case of an outfield fly.
Foul Balls Cause Puzzle.
There are some points Of differentiation
between fair hit balls and fouls which
puzzle fans and players. The rules op-
crate in a different way when batted
ball hits the ground before passing third
or first base than when a ball first strikes
the ground after passing those bases. The
hit which strikes the ground inside the
diamond and does not go beyond first or
third base Is foul or fair according to
where it stops rolling or drst touches a
player or umpire. II 1t strikes the
ground inside and bounds past first or
third it Is fair or foul according to where
It is when 1t passes either base. It is
not necessarily fair ball IL 1t hits fair
ground in front Of third base. nor 10 It
necessarily foul il it hits foul ground
after bounding beyond third base. It is
Evening star., 1914-03-13

fair or foul according to its location when
passing third base
When a ball first touches the ground
beyond first or third base 1t In fair or
foul according to whre 1t first strikes the
earth or is first touched by a player.
There Is much confusion about balls close
to the foul line when q player reaches
them, but doesn't hold them In such
cases It does not matter where the player
himself is when he touches the ball. but
the decision depends on whether the ball
is on or over fair or foul territory when
It IL first touched.
Evening star., 1914-03-13
Umpire Must Watch Play.

Waen these situations arise the umpire
must watch out for fly balls, and IL one
is hit in the air where an infelder can
get under it the arbitrator must imme-
diately call the batsman out. Many per-
sons insist the batsman Is also out on an
infls;d ny, II only first base is occupied
with less than two out. These persons
will try to substantiate their argument
with section II OF rule 56. which has
nothing at all to do with; an infleld
ny, although mention is INSIDE of it In
that section. It is designed merely to
specify when q runner is forced to ad-
vance to make room for a batsman who
has become q base runner.
The infield ny is mentioned merely as an

MUST SLAUGHTER ALL | THE INFECTED CATTLE
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-The gravity of the epidemic of mouth disease of middle-western cattle was driven home to cattlemen when Dr. F. $. Bennett of the bureau of animal in dustry answered their protests with the statement that the slaughter of the suspected cattle at a cost of $10,00O.000 is cheap compared with the incalculable loss from q spread of the malady.
 TheYe is no way of fighting the Iplague known except the destruction of affected and suspected animals, and federal agents favor the closing of the Union Stock Yards, the largest cattle market in the world, and such an order, rescinded only after heavy pressure was brought to bear, may yet be given.
 The packers say the price of beef will drop because cattlcmen will rush
 their stock to market fearing to risk the diseases and cattle are now re ceived only for immediate slaughter.

That the Coyote Normal game, which was to have been played at Riverside park this coming Friday should be played on Saturday instead, was de- cided after q long discussion between the athletic directors of the two schools yesterday afternoon at the local high school
 Coach Schaeffer of the Tempe normal held off for two hours before he gave in as to when the game between his team and the Coyotes should be played and how much he should be allowed out of the gate receipts to pay the ex pcnses of bringing his boys from across the river. Finally, after a promise of a return game and a guarantee for an amount that would pay the expenses of three teams here, he gave in and said he would play on the condition that the game be held on Saturday in stead of the day before.
