arguments on the ball field. At one
time each major league had a differ
ent Interpretation Of the play and this
was very confusing. Here is an in
field play that came up in the Ameri-
can League last summer, and had
players and fans guessing as to what
actually happened. There were run
ners on first and second and one man
out. The batter hit a rather high fly
in the direction of third. A stiff wind
was blowing, that caused the ball. to
take puzzling twists. The umpire, as
soon as the ball was hit, decided it
could be handled by the third base
man, and he declared it an infield fly
which automatically retired the bats
man. The wind caused the third base
man to misjudge the fly. and it struck
the ground without being touched,
about foot inside the foul line and
about ten feet in front of third base.

into the dugout. The runner on sec

The pitcher. If he has made no pre-

ball to the catcher for play at the

at the time, the action of the batter

declared out. The batter who had hit
