AS Bender started to wind up. Ainsmuh started for home. Bender.
with "A smile, decided he would permit Ainsmith to 20 through with
his INTENDED" theft In order to make sure that the Washington catcher
would reach the plate safely, Bender kept IN winding up his right arm

Bender had finally delivered the bail to the batter, Ansmith had @

that retired the side and ended the game. The question naturally
arose II $ to whether or not the run counted. What would you have
done had you been the umpire?
Solution Of Problem.
The M does not count. The play, of COURSE is based o rule 80.
which relates to the scoring of runs. Part of this rue states that Il
run shall not be scored il, after touching the first three bases, the
runner comes home from third on a play In which the third man Is
forced out, or is put out before reaching first.
The umpires contend that the start Of the play was when Bender
began his windup, and that the completion OF the play "a the hit
ting of the fly ball to left field, the batter naturally being out before
he reached first. Hence, the rn should not count, even though Ain
smith had scored before the ball was really started on its way to the
plate. That really has nothing to do with the situation, the start of
the windup being the beginning of the play. 1t is n question that will
cause many IN argument.
