on first base, Collins, to third base.
When the fourth man in the lineup
stepped to the plate, it was suddenly
discovered that the two previous bats
men had both batted out of order, that
Collins, who had batted first, should
have been the second man up, while
Oldring, who had batted second, should
have started the inning. The complaint
was filed with the umpire before any
balls had been pitched to the third
man up, Baker.
How Rule Reads.
The captain Of the team in the field
contended that, since both men had
batted out of order, they should be
declared out. The rule on this point
says; The batSman is out if he fails
to take his position at the bat in the
order in which his name appears on
the batting list, unless the error be
discovered and the proper batsman
replaces him before he becomes a base
runner, but only the proper batsman
shall be declared out, and no bases
run, or runs scored, because Of any
act of the improper batsman. This
rule shall not be enforced unless the
out be declared before the ball be de-
livered to the succeeding batsman.'
How Many Were Out.
When Collins batted out Of order,
the mistake was not discovered. Then
Oldring also batted out of order. and
singled. Not until Baker stepped to
the plate was it noticed that Collins
and Oldring had both shifted places in
the batting order. This shift put Col
Inns on third and Oldring on first. Be-
fore any balls were pitched to Baker,
the error was noted. The question nat
urally arises, how many are out? When
the umpire's attention was called to
the fact that Oldring had batted out Of
order, he replied that the rules called
for the retiring of the proper batsman.
The proper batsman was Collins, but,
unfortunately, Collins at the time was
base runner, having advanced to
third base on Oldring's single. The
question then arose what shall be done
with Collins the base runner?
Umpires Argued For Hours.
I feel safe in saying that the UNI
pires present argued that play for two
hours. It was finally decided that
about the only solution was as fol-
lows: Since the mistake on the part
OF Collins was not discovered before
any balls were pitched to the next
batter, Collins, as n runner, could not
be declared out. Since the mistake OF
Oldring's was discovered before any
balls were pitched to the next batter,
the single made by Oldring should be
declared void and Collins, the proper
batsman, should be declared 0t Then
the question arose, what action would
be taken on Collins the base runner
It was decided that he should be
brought back to first from third, since
no bases could be run because of an
act of the improper batsman. The pc
culiar feature of this decision is that
while Collins was called out, he still
continued a base runner.
Now, Mr.. Winter league umpire, how
would you decide the play?

Billy Evans S Puzzle Plays
Written Especially Paper by League Umpire

- NE Of the most confusing plays
I ever heard of came up during
- the season of 1913 in a game
played in Bloomington, Illinois. It af-
torded winter discussion for the base
Dali fans in that neck Of the woods.
AT the end Of six months argument,
the fans and critics we're evidently no
nearer a proper solution than when
they started. Just before the opening
OF the 1914 season, I received a com
munication from a gentleman interest
cd in baseball, by the name of Charles
McCafferty, who briefly stated to me
the play that had caused so much dis
cussion.
L must confess that, on first read
ing, the tangle just about made me
take the count, and the more 1 read
the situation the groggier I got
decided that here was a play that
would cause all kinds Of arguments
for the umpires. Just prior to the
opening Of the past season, all the UNI
pires in the International league, as
well as a good many of the two major
league staffs, convened in New York.
Al gathering of about 20 of the UNI
pires, I put to them the question that
had been sent me by the gentleman
from Illinois To Illustrate my point
1 will take the first four men of the
regular batting order of the Athletics.
Murphy, Oldring. Collins. Baker
The play happened in the fourth
inning. The proper batsman in this
inning to lead off was the second man
in the lineup, Oldring. Through a mis-
take the third man IN the lineup, whom
we viii call Collins, started the inning
with clean single to left field. Then,
to make things ell the more confus-
ing, Oldring, as we will call the sec
ond batter in the lineup, the player
who should have started the inning.
came up second, and also singled clean

lack of practice. Their passes were al

they frequently lost their heads and

guarding was poor and their basket
shooting also. The team was shy the
