Eddie Collins of the Chicago White
Sox is a close student of base ball. No
angle of the pastime is overlooked by
Eddie. He is one of the best posted
players on the rules. Every now and
then Eddie digs up some play that is
merely creature of his imagination,
and creates interesting discussion as
to how it should be ruled on.
During series al Detroit last wear
Eddie asked for my opinion on a play
not definitely covered by the rules,
although it is possible to arrive at a
correct decision by taking a couple
backward. The play Eddie put up
to me involves the hitting of the UNI
pire by fairly batted ball. That is
not unusual. but in this particular
play a freak bound of the fairly
batted bal causes same to hit the
umpire, who us standing in foul ter
rltory. l VIII relate the play as Eddie
slipped it to me.
The base umpire is standing in foul
territory near first, as is customary
with no runners on. The batter pulls
hard hit ground ball down the first
is unable to make play on. The
ball hits the bag squarely. which
makes it a fair ball, regardless of
what course it may then take. The
ball caromed off the first sack into
foul territory, and despite every eff
fort on the part of the umpire to
avoid it, the ball struck his person,
rolling short distance after so do
ing. The first baseman recovered the
ball in time to throw it to the pitcher.
who covered and got the runner at
first. What Eddie wanted to know
was: Could the batter be retired on
such a play or did the fact that the
ball hit the umpire entitle him to first.
Also he wanted to know if the ball
just touched the person of the umpire
and then continued on it's way to
right field, the batter making third,
would the batter be entitled to third
Or merely to first base.
Without hesitation 1 told Eddie the
moment the ball hit the umpire il
became dead, and the batter was en-
titled to first base. and only first
base. no matter if he was put out
or reached first base or was able to
go to third base.
Il am inclined to think that is the
proper ruling" said Eddie. but for
, the sake of argument I want to call
your attention to the reading of the
rule on that point. Eddie dropped
into my dressing room and we dug
up a rule book. and here is what 1t
said:
THE batsman becomes a base run
ner If fair hit ball strike the per-
son or clothing of the umpire on fair
ground"
Now you will recall that in the
play Collins cited the fair hit ball
was on foul ground. The rule does
not cover that point and Collins
wanted to know if it made any differ
ence When the rule covering that

1t is possible that Fees Geor,cr
towns shortstop a year ago. may not
be member of the team this spring.
Fees said few days ago that he did
not see how he was going to be able
TO attend practice regularly because
of classes in the law schools, and
that if he could not arrange to do
that his place probably would be filled
by some other player.
Downes, Gallaudet's basket ball
mainstay. is expected to do good
work on the slab for the nine this
spring: Downes, besides being a bril-
liant basket ball player. is a good
halfback in foot ball and a pitcher
and outfielder in base ball. In all
three sports he is far better than the
ordinary. He should be one of the
best athletes Gallaudet has turned
out.
Catholic University has things lined
up pretty well for it's track and field
meet Saturday night. The Brook
landers have their list of officials
made up and everything is in readi-
ness. Workmen have been busy this
week getting the floor in shape. and
the Brooklanders believe they should
present athletes with an opportunity
to run on one of the best floors in

1t is believed that there will be
some splendid competition. with the

looked the rules over and finally dis
covered a rule relating to base rum
ners having a right to return to their
bases without liability to be put out.
This particular rule says. "1f the UNI

fore touching a fielder. no base shall
be run unless necessitated by the
batsman becoming a base runner. and
no runs shall be scored unless all the
bases are occupied" This rule says
nothing about the umpire being on
fair territory. simply says a fair hit
ball that strikes the umpire. Using
this rule as a basis. the batter is en-
