Billy Evans $ Puzzle Plays
Written Fsnacav For T Paner the American

President Johnson of the American
league at once acted on this play, and
sent a bulletin to his umpires covering
the same. Mr.. Johnson stated that the
purpose of the rule was to mete out
punishment when the coacher had ac-
tUally interfered with the play. In case
of the home run, there was no play, the
batsman was entitled to the circuit, the
only thing necessary to make the run
legal being for the batter to go through
with the rule saying that each base must
be touched. Also, if after making a three
base hit, the player is standing on the
bag in safety, no further play being
possible, and the coacher should walk
over and pat him on the back or shake
hands with him, no action should be
taken. In most leagues such an Offense
would result in the man on third being
called out. Mr.. Johnson wants the rule
to be adhered to strictly when there is
a chance for a play, but when play is
suspended he expects the umpires to
overlook the technical and strict inter
probation of the rule. Is he right in
this? Copyright, 1915, by the Wheeler
