do is resort to a bit Of rough house
strategy, interfere with the batsman
and forget all about the base play.
The moment the catcher interferes
with the batsman play is suspended.
The batsman goes TO first base. TO
which he is entitled under the rules;
but what about the base runner on
third who seemed certain to score.
The rules say ne mast go back to
third, as no runner can advance un-
less forced to make room for the
batsman. In the last Ave years
have seen wise catcher pull such
play half dozen times. greatly to
his benefit. Thus in a way the rules
place a premium on the catcher's in
reference instead of infiicting a pen
atty.
Last year the two major leagues
worked the same wa on such play
although neither adhered to the strict
Interpretation of the rule 1t was
decided that whenever the catcher
interferes the batsman should have
the right to go to first base, while
all runners should be entitled to ad-
vance a base, whether forced or not.
Such a ruling seemed to have re-
moved any premium for the catcher
to interfere. Yet all major league
umpires do not agree on such an
| Interpretation. One veteran arbitra-
| tor claims wise batter can pur-
posely stick his bat into the catcher
| and create an interference. How
ever, ] have always believed an UNI
pire ought to be able to differentiste

! a premeditated interference by the
! batter All that would be necessary

runner coming from third out. IL there
were less than two men out when the

argument

Interference by the catcher with
the batsman deserves a severe pen
atty, because it puts the batter out of
the play. The playing code provides
penalty for such an offense, but
for years the justice of the penalty
has caused much comment.
The rules state that when the
catcher interferes with the batsman,
he shall be entitled to first base, re-
gardless of what happens. 1t max es
no difference as to the act of the
batsman. If he should hit a home
run, be retired on a fly. thrown out
at first base or not even strike at
the ball, his acts would not enter
into the decision as laid down by the
rules. The batsman would simply go
to first base, because of the catcher s

pears to be a perfectly proper ruling.
and eminently fair.
What about the base runner or
runners? Shall they be entitled to
advance because Of the interference
of the catcher? The rules say no.
When such happening takes place
, no runners can advance unless forced
to do SO to make room for the bats
man. That, in way. seems perfectly
correct, since runners are never al
lowed to advance on interference
plays of such a nature. However, of
late years brainy catcherS have taken
advantage of this rule and pulled "a
play that has worked to the benefit
of their team and. of course. TO the
detriment of the team at bat.
