That's exactly what he did. But as he
slid into the bag the batter fouled off
the ball. Kauffs steal Of home was in

Then &c was that Kauff showed why
he is called a brainy player for on the

might be added that his wish will prob

I opposite rulings on plays which ap-
peared very similar.
There Is a rule that on balls thrown
into the stands runners are allowed to
advance to bases. On practically every
ground a wire netting is placed direct
ly behind the plate for a considerable
distance. This netting is placed -Lere
simply for the protection Of the pa
irons from foul tips and bad throws,
foul tips in particular. In the game
in question, with runner on second,
tho spit ball pitcher who was work
ing uncorked a wild pitch that struck
the netting on the fly about nine feet
in the air. The netting set about q
half foot back of the railing. The
ball stuck there. Seeing this, the
runner slowed up, figuring that h was
entitled to score. The catcher raced
back, while the pitcher ran in 20 cover
the plate. As the catcher reached the
stand, he thew his glove at the ball,
knocking it down. and, picking ii up.
threw It to the pitcher, who covered
the plate. The throw apparently re-
tired the runner at the plate, but 1
ruled him safe.
Opposite Ruling.
On this same grounds the right field
fence was very short, just about get
ting inside the regulation distance In
order to make more difficult hit into
the bleachers, which were in back of
this fence, a wire netting probably 20
feet high was built. The netting was
built on a frame that extended about
six inches in front of the fence. Balls
that hit the netting on a fly invariably
dropped on the playing field, and the
hitter seldom got more than two bases,
often being held to d single by fast
fielding. In this same game a batter
hit ball against this netting It
struck Just above the fence which was
in front of the bleachers, said fence
being about six feet high. The net
ting was of heavy wire, probably. a
quarter Of an inch in diameter In
some way the mesh had been broken
50 that a piece OF the wire stuck out
The ball struck this bit of wire and
stuck there. The right fielder, after
much effort, managed TO pick the ball
from the netting and threw the run
ner out at the plate. I called the run
ner out
Reason for Ruling.
I refused to allow the first out, be-
cause the netting in front of the grand
stand was placed there simply as
protection. The netting in the outfield
was placed there to make the hit
more difficult The fact that the screen
was a trifle in front of the fence also
led me to allow the out in the second
case. Had the screen been five or six
inches back Of the first fence. I would
have probably ruled it a home run.
What do you think Of my two rulings?
