LONDON, March l Correspondence
Of the Associated Press).-The town
crier of Swanage recently paraded
the streets Of the village declaring
there was no beer in the place. but
that a plentiful supply could be had
in Kingston, village five miles

It frequently happens that under
the rationing system the available
supply Of beer. wines and liquors for
a given public house. or even an. en-
tire community, is consumed at one
sitting. and there must then be a
long wait until the regulations per-

Calls for a Balk.

The rule covering this play states a
balk shall be called when the pitcher
makes a motion to pitch while stand
ing in his position without having the
ball. Literally, pitcher could get on
the rubber, provided he made no mo-
ton to pitch, without having the ball
in his possession. That right, de-
styoys the theory under which coach
ers and base runners always have
worked-that the moment the pitcher
stepped on the rubber it was safe for
them to take a lead of the base they
pitcher could put to great profit
It is my belief and the belief OF
every other major league umpire
with whom I have talked that this
rule should be changed. I don't be-
lieye the rule makers intended to give
the pitcher the right to get On the
rubber without the ball, yet there is
no denying that the rule does give
them that right. The rubber was made
to pitch from; it is impossible to pitch
without the, ball: hence, getting on
the rubber without the ball certainly
is deception on the part Of the pitcher.
The penalty for doing SO should be
a balk. The runner should have some
protection when in doubt. Such pro-
lection must emanate from the pitch

the intent Of the pitcher the runner j.
lost The calling of a balk would
provide the proper penalty. To clear
up this play insert clause reading
something like this: "A hali shall b..
called il the pitcher gets on the rub

Every year this play comes up
scores of times. Here is an illustra
ton of my point:
Runners on first and second. mono

The runner on second fails to touch
third on his way to the plate Tho
runner on first and the batter torlcl,

ball is thrown TO third and the run

in the field then contends the two
other runners should be declared OUT

runner on the base lines by touchin4
third base before ne did. They bas,
their contention for such a ruling or
the theory runner cannot score =

Disregard Arguments.
Major league umpires pay no at
tention to such an argument. They
never rule out any player other than
the runner who failed to touch u
base. They figure a following run
ner who lives up to all the rules Of
the game cannot in fairness be penal g
lied because of some infraction g.
the rules by preceding runner. TN
der the present wonding OF the rules
arguments are stirred up on this
point every year. 1t would he an
easy matter to clear up such a sitl&-
tlon for all time by simply insert ing
a clause. in the rules which stated
that following base runner could
in no way be penalized beca,iSe Of
any action on the part Of a preceding
runner in failing to touch a base.
Very often a substitute batter or
fielder is sent into the game. and tn,
umpire is not notified of the change
We will say it is batter. and h.
hits safely. Then it is discovered he
has batted without notice to the UNI
pire. The claim by the team in the
field always is the same-that the
batter is an improper batsman: that
since he failed to notify the umpire
of his entry into the game he never
really broke into the lineup and
his hit should be ruled void. Major
league umpires always have made il
! a. rule to allow such a happening ~
go on just as IL they had been noti :
fled. They merely eliminate tn
player. originally in the lineup. just
as. if the affair had taken place Iii
the regular manner. The -ule on
this point is confusing. and it woulI
be we'll to make it clear.
True, the rules that govern base
ball are excellent as they stand. but
undoubtedly some good would be
done if a few changes were mad;
here and there.

EcOacher warns the base runner NOT

players, fans and many umpfres that
a pitcher has no right to get on the
pitching rubber unless he has the. ball
in his possession. The natural de-
duction, therefore, is that the mo-
n,ent the pitcher steps on the rubber
he must have the ball ready to pitch.
The ceachers always figure If the run

bases when in doubt until the pitch
er steps on the rubber. there is no
chance to fall a victim Of the hidden
ball trick.
For years almost every one con-
nected with base ball has labored un
der that impression. 1t always has
been figured positive safeguard for
the runner, when both coacher and
runner were in doubt as to who had
possession Of the ball. A close scru-

I wanted to nip the possibility Of a
dispute in the bud. Some day such a
play is going to cause an argument,
and then the rule probably, will be
changed. I know most major league
umpires believe a pitcher has no right

the right to get on the rubber with

Perhaps the most unfair rule Of
all worthy Of consideration is the
one that deals with interference on
the part Of the catcher. Under pres
ent rules such interference gives the
batsmah the right to first base, but
no other runners can advance unless
forced. Thus, If a. man is trying to
effort to mako play on the runner
interferes with the batsman, yet fails
to get the runner, the batsman Is the
only one benefited because Of the in
reference.
y wise catcher can spoil lot Of
plays if he feels they arc going to
work against his club. 4 premium
catcher. If. when a catcher inter-
fered with the batsman, the batsman
was entitled to first, and all other
runners entitled to advance one base
whether forced or not, catchers soon
wonld be careful as to their actions
toward the batsmah. That is one
rule, which sooner or later must be
changed. The good Of the game de-
mands it.
You have been at many ball games
where you heard the coacher yell to
the base runner, wait until the
pitcher gets on the rubber" There
is some doubt concerning the pos
session of the ball. In order not to
have the runner fall victim to the
hidden ball trick the coacher warns
him to hold his base until the pitcher
gets on the rubber. Such action on
the part Of the pitcher IS taken as
evidence he has the ball in his pos
session and it is safe for the runner
to take his usual lead.
