When double play retires the side
while run is going over the plate
there always is doubt whether the
forth such comment as the play in
volving the hitting of fly ball that
is caught, the holding of the base by
the runner who scores until the fly is
caught and the failure of some other
runner to hold his base, said runner
being doubled up.
The rule relative to the scoring of
run says run cannot count In
which the third man be forced out or
be put out before reaching first base.
First. we will consider the simplest
of double plays There are runners
on first and third, and the batter hits
ball to the Shortstop. That fielder
throws to second, forcing out the run
ner from first. while the second base
man in turn throws to first, retiring
the batsmdn. I he runner on third was
across the plate long before the third
out was made, but the run does not
score. because a run cannot score on
d play in which the batsman making
the third out is retired before reach
ing first base.
Now for another illustration of the
rule. We will assume there are run
ners on first. second and third, and
one out. We also will assume the
play is made in an unusual way. The
batsman is fast man. as is the run
ner on third, while the runners on
first and second are rather slow. The
batter hits the ball to the third base
man, which the latter fumhles slight
ly. but throws in time to get the run
ner at third, and to second in time to
e
on such play. instead of figuring on
a double play, the fielder would at
tempt to cut off the run at the plate.
We will assume once more unusual
conditions caused the fielder to make
the play contrary to the set fashion.
In all proba ability the runner from
third was acoss the plate some time
before the third out was made. Once
more the run does not count, because
the third man was forced out at sec
ond base. And remember. force-out
can be made only when a runner le-
cupies by reason of the batsman be-
coming a base runner, and he is there
by obliged to advance.
1t is necessary that the reader re-
member what constitutes a force-out
in order to appreciate my line Of rea-
soning on the third angle of a double
play which retires the side. Here is
the play which causes hundreds of
arguments every season in all ranks
of play. although the rules thoroughly
cover the situation: There are run
pers on second and third and one man
is out. The batter hits a long fly to
left field. The runner on third real
ICES il the catch is made it will be an
easy matter for him to beat the throw
to the plate. The runner on second
base makes up his mind the bali will
rot be caught and digs for the plate.
When the catch is made he is within
a foot or two of third base. The rum
Eer on third digs out for the plate the
moment the ball is caught. and very
naturally the runner almost to third
tries to get back to second before he
| is doubled up.
The runner originally on second is
! unable TO get back to second in safe
| ty. throw from the left fielder
doubling him up. The double play re-
tired the side. The runner originally

TITLE TO MRS. BARLOW
Defeats Miss Fownes in North and
South Golf Tourney on
Home Green.

PINEHCRST. y. c.. March 21.-The
north and south championship tourna-
ment for women came to an end here
yesterday with it's reputation for ex-
citing matches and narrow victories
unimpaired Mrs. Ronald H. Barlow
of Philadelphia won the final contest
and the title by defeating Mrs. Sarah
Fownes of Pittsburgh on the home

Mrs Barlow held the north and
south tile in 1915. and was succeeded
by Miss Elaine Y. Rosenthal of the
The kaIiSIoe Club, who was supplant-
ed by Mrs. Dorothy Campbell Hurd
last year.
Mrs Hurd played the best round of

BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
BY BILLY EVANS

on third crossed the plate some time
before the completion of the third
out. The question naturally is: Does
The run count? In all such double
plays the run always counts if the
man crossed the plate before the COM
pletion of the third out. Such was
the condition in the play I have cited.
SO the run counts.
Now here is the argument con-
stun y offered 10 show the run should
not he allowed. II is insisted in the
case cit ed that the third out is force
cut because the runner originally on
second. in order to protect his rights.
is forced to return to that base.
/ While the runner on second. who
left that base before the fly was
caught. must try to regain second il
he would Keep from being put out.
there is nothing that forces him to
return TO that base. He can continue
on his way if. he desires. although he
is certain to be doubled up. In all
such cases one should remember a
force-out only can be made when a
base runner legally loses his right to
base he occupies by reason of the
batsman becoming a base runner, and
he is thereby obliged to advance. The
runner on second never lost his right
to that base hence there is no basis
on which to argue his is forced
third out.

SEES ONLY FAINT HOPE
FOR BASE BALL ABROAD

Lieut.. Col. Huston of the New York
Yankees, who has been in France,
and consequently knows whereof he
speaks, corrQborates the frequently
expressed opinion that base ball will
virtually never be adopted as a ma
tional sport by the French people.
Col. Huston predicts a big base ball
season for this country, but doesn't
think it is going to have the boom
abroad that some folks predict. The
French will have to be taught the
game from the six-year-old stage up
before they can become proficient in
it as players, the colonel says. and SO
far have displayed only polite curios-
ity in the sport as an exhibition.
The English patronized base ball
games profusely, and apparently en-
joyed it as spectacle, but it will re-
quire considerable time for them to
learn to play it themselves, except in
an amateur way. If the war had
lasted another year. Col. Huston be-
lieves. base ball might have gained a
foothold in continental Europe. So
endeth the international dream,

THIS SOLDIER "HARSH"
ON HOLDOUT PLAYERS

An interview, Chicago Tribune
writer had with a discharged soldier
with a wound stripe on his sleeve, on
the subject of soldier feeling for base
ball holdouts says:
"You don't hear about any of the
boys who went over there and risked
their lives for $50 month objecting
to coming back to the base ball Jobs
they left at the same figure. The
guys who are holding out now are
the lads who were lucky to escape
the draft, and were able to earn real
money last summer while we were
fighting for them.
There won't be much sympathy
among the returning soldiers who
risked their lives for $40 a month for
the base ball players who refuse to
risk a broker finger for $4,000 per
year. and there are something like
5000 900 base ball fans who donned
the Amy and Navy uniforms before
the blow-off came"

ceived notice that it had been ship
ped. Tuesday a salesman dropped

safe we tried to order another ton
but there was nothing doing. He
would not take the order saying
that his house could not get ship
ments from the mills. We re-
ceived the bill for the shipment
bought that afternoon and noted
that the price had advanced to
eight and one-fourth cents per
pound or a cent and a quarter
higher than the highest war price.
