Elsewhere in these sporting columns
will be found considerable correspond
ence anent the 1ngots-Wheelers game
which broke of In the second inning
last Saturday. The Sporting Editor
does not propose to plunge headlong
into a vortex Of discussion. verbal
attacks and counter blows. Merely
is 1t his aim Id the few following lines
to size up the situation IN an impartial
way.
The Sporting Editor himself a spec
tator at the game, finds that the whole

Umpire Mullen saws he was. So do
1ngot rooters. Murtagh says he was
not. So say also Wheeler rooters.
In Justice to Mullen. his decision
was unquestionably correct II Murtagh
was in the box at the time. This po-
siton made the delivery a legally
pitched ball, primarily intended for
Foster. the batter. and not for q play
on Van Glider, the runner. Under
these conditions, 1t was up TO Brady
the catcher. 10 remain behind the
plate until he received the pitch, and
then he would have been wholly with
in his province to straddle the plate
or advance as far forward as he de-
sired. Certainly he had no right TO in

Based on the same theory advanc-
ed by the Wheeiers. the catcher on
seeing q man attempt 20 steal 70 sec

plate. take the pitchers throw and
shoot Il down 20 second with no re-
gard for the EATERS rights.
However, II Martagh was not In his

with the chances Of a score slim be-
cause Foster, the batter, had two
strikes and no balls on him. Appar.
emily the coach signalled for a steal

box, the putout at home plate was
easy as the catcher stood with the ball
waiting for Van Glider but to our
utter amazement Umpire Mullen
called the runner safe. claiming the
catcher interfered with the batter. We
leave the entire matter with you for
decision, as, according to Mullen's de.
cision, a runner can steal home at any
time, as the catcher would not be al
lowed to play for him.

play a three-game series on a neutral

1--WE will not stand for Mullen or a
Carteret umpire.
I'VE suggest the management OF
both teams secure Singer Field In
Elizabeth and play the series there
with either a National or American
League umpire.
I'VE also wish 1t to be known that
the sportsmanship of the Ingots was
SO cheap as to even refuse our play
ers water to cleanse themselves with,
and in order to look like the every
day American does, we had to go to
the Packer House to get washed.
When they came to Carteret last
April they were given a banquet In
honor of the occasion, SO they can not
claim we are the same kind of sports.

B.. B. c."
Forwarding his views on the argyll
ment, Manager R. Graeme of the
Roosevelt Juniors argues that IL UNI
pire Mullen is correct, the rules of the
game automatically become revolu-
tionized since a runner, reaching third
could advance to the home plate with
impunity. Here is how Graeme puts
IT:
The Wheeler team certainly had
the right side of the argument. The
runner, Van Glider, was out. In the
first place, Murtaugh wasn't ready to
play the batter. Brady had not given
him any signals. Furthermore, why
did the batter. Foster, step away from
the plate when he saw the runner
coming in? 1t seems to me as though
the Ingots do not believe a catcher
can play on q man stealing home. If
that Is the case, why not change the
baseball rules. and make them to read
so that any man reaching third will be
credited with a rum. Graeme,
Manager Roosevelt Juniors"
