BYRON INTERPRETS A RULE.
Says Runner to First Has Right 70
Retreat Back Beyond the Plate.

In one OF the Brooklyn games in
Pittsburgh Superba runner was on
first base when the batsman drove n
ball to Hans Wagner slowly, straight
on the first base line. Hans came tear
ing In and picked up the ball d few
feet ahead Of the batter, who there
upon turned and went back toward the
plate. That Disconnected Honus. who
chased the batter and tagged him, the
man on first getting to second.
The runner going to first has a per
feet right to pull up and 90 back to-
ward the plate, and 1t will almost in
variably disconeert the first sacker, as
1t did Wagner 1t bothers the first
baseman II he Is too far In to touch
the bag Immediately and prevents Il
throw for a double play after retiring
the batter.
Umpire Byron, who was officiating in
that series. was asked about the right
of the runner to first to retreat. and he
said 1t was the understanding among
the Indicator handlers that batter
could retreat as far as the plate and
three feet beyond In lodging a fielder
on batted ball. but II he went more
than three feet beyond the plate he
would be called out for running out Of
line. This Is something Of new wrin.
kle and Is an Interpretation Of the rule

youth, however, he did not begin &c
play ball In early boyhood. Until he
was fifteen years OF age he had never
seen a baseball score. At sixteen be
handled his first bah and bat, and not
until year later did he attempt to
pitch a game.
When Plank was twenty-five he went
to college ut Gettysburg The coach at
