All the usual ways of retiring a
batsman are pretty wei known to tha
general run of baseball devoteas,
young or old, but there are few
which crop out only occasionally con.
corning which there is much misoon.
ception. not to say dense ignorance.
One of the least understood rules in
the code has 70 do wiaa the batsman
who bats out OF turn much of this
may be laid at the door of the rule II.
self. but il is about as plain as 1t can
be made. The tangle does not often
arise in the big leagues, not oftener
| than once a year or so, but in prairie
games. where score cards are unknown
and teams more or less picked up, 1t
is of more frequent occurrence.
II is the popular impression that a
player who bats out OF turn is ont,
provided the mistake is discovered
and claimed before the ball has been
pitched to the succeeding batsman.
The man who batted out of turn is moi
out, but his act automatically puts
out the man who ouga; to have bat
ted in that turn, and nothing the Inn
proper batsman does counts in the
game. Suppose d is the fourth bats
man in order and E the fifth. Along
In the seventh inning 3 goes to bar
in DIS place with the bases full and
lifts a home run over the fence. The
mistake is then discovered and called
to the umpire's attention.
If the umpire knows his book he
will Immediately declare d out and
send all the runners back to the bases
which they occupied when the ball
was hit. Then he will send E to bat
again, because it will be his proper
turn. If declaring ID out made the
third out the inning would end there
and 4 would be first AZ bat in the
next inning. But If the mistake was
not discovered until after ball had
been pitched to F--the oatsnan regu-
larly followed E-the home runs
will have to stand and the four runs
which scored on 1t would count.
Surprising E. batting in DIS place,
Is retired. then F comes 10 bat. +
also is batting out of turn, because it
! is properly Els turn to bat, you see,
and if E does anything except get out
the opposing team can call attention
to the mistake and have E declared
out over again. This holds true until
batsman. batting out of turn, has
| teaehed first base, when atssnIion
must be called to it before another
bali is pitched or the play will stand
Frequently the batsman is out on
third strike which Is not caught,
but the general public is mystified
about it. On some occasions ! have
seen an umpire numerically roasted
and once in danger of being mobbed
simply because the majority of the
spectators did not know the rules
Here is a case in point: There were
runners on third and first and one
out The batsman after having two
strikes called, swung al and missed
a low ball which shot through thu
catcher's legs and went to the grand
stand. The man on third base scored,
