To Drill Young Infelders.

The necessity for grooming a man

ful inspection to determine the eX-
tent of their capabilities and in case
any of them show sufficient promise to
warrant the belief they may make
good at the job TO institute intensive
drill to prepare them for the cham
pi0Hship season.
1t is likely that only the outside
chance that Lavan may change his
mind and decide to defer hanging

appearing at short when the bell
rings for the curtain to rise. April %
Hank always has been an early start
er. No matter where Re has been

If Howard were able to maintain
throughout ,he season the pace he
sets at the jump-off he would be one
of the most yalua BILE players in any

their work Shanks hits the ball far
and wide and often and his success
with the stick serves to key up his

gins TO fall off. his batting at least
and 1t becomes advisable to give him
a rest. Out of the game a period he
is likely to come back and wallop the

ball. 1t was fair if ever there was a
fair ball However, I called it a foul,
and to have allowed the out at first
which would have retired the side and
rendered the run void, would have
been unfair TO Washington There
should suffer because l had called the
ball too quickly. Also. there was
nothing for me to do but stick to my
original decision-foul ball. That
came through with a single, seorin {
the run from third, made me feel
easier about the mistake I had made
Since then | let the bali run it's course
before making a ruling.
Another query which causes discus
sion is, When the batter hits a bali
into fair territory directly in front of
the plate, why does the umpire al
ways call such a hit foul. when on
the rebound it strikes the batter,
standing in his box. The fan sees the
ball hit fair, then sees it rebound and
hit the batter. Most people get the
idea the batter should Immediately be
called out for being hit by a batted
ball, and, of course, are surprised
when the umpire yells foul and the
batter continues to hit
Inefe is very Sood reason Tor the
ruling. The batter, while standing in
his box, is entirely in foul territory.
Therefore, if ball first hits fair and
then bounds back and hits the bats
man. who is in foul territory, the only
conclusion one can arrive at is the
ball is foul.
If the batsman has taken a step or
two toward first and then is hit on the
rebound. he is out, because the bats
man then is in fair territory, and is
out for being hit by a batted ball If
the batsman is hit before he has
chance to get away from the plate. the
ball always is foul, because he is in
foul territory.
Another query is: Why should the
umpire declare foul a ball that ap-
parently passes over the fence at least
twenty feet fair? That is easy be-
cause the umpire, on all such hits.
must watch the ball until it disa p
pears from his view. Even though it
is fair by a wide margin when il
passes over the fence, but is foul
when the umpire last sees it, the ball
is foul. Seems rather unjust, but that
is the rule.
