This Lady Tried Cardui. Let Her

Statement The Results

recommended that I try Cardui, which
I began to take and which has
caused me to be In better health ever
since. In n few days I felt that i'm.
provement had begun. My back got
stronger and less painful. I got less
nervous and my appetite began to i'm
prove. In n few weeks my improve

better health than I had had for II
years. &. My walking before had been
very painful, and could not stand on
my feet TO do any good. After using
these medicines, however, l could walk
without pain and was able to do the

to left field, which was played badly by the outdelder, the ball getting
away from him and rolling to the fence. All three men scored on the
play, and 1t seemed that the home team had won the game. As the
batter crossed the plate the crowd began to surge on the field.
IL so happened that the man on first, when the hit was made.
failed to touch third base. The mistake was noticed by the third
left fielder the third baseman received 1t and touched third base. The
umpire thereupon declared out the man originally on first who had
failed to touch that base. That. of course. cut off a run. A large
portion of the crowd was on the field at the time.
The captain of the team In the field then raised another angle He
insisted that since the batter had technically passed the runner ahead
Of him, because that runner had failed to touch third, he should also
be declared out and that run also rendered void. The umpire allowed
the claim. Thus, the team last at bat believed it had won the game
by a run, while the captain Of the visiting team left believing that he
had won by the same margin. What would have been the proper
ruing7
Answer TO Problem.
Major league umpires. and practically all minor league officials,
have u uniform ruling on this play. Had 1t come up in the big league,
the runner who had failed to touch third would. of course. have been
called out. The run scored by the batter would have been allowed.
No attention would have been paid TO the technicnlity that since the
batter touched third base and the other player did not, the former had
technically passed the latter IN the lines. The opinion is held that
1t would he decidedly unjust to punish n runner who has complied with
all the rules simply because the preceding runner has violated one Of
the laws of baseball. Thus, neither team would have been the winner,
the sore would have been IL tie, and the team at bat still had an out
coming to them.
