With a runner on second base, the
batsu,an hits a ground ball toward the
shortstop. Two men are out and the
runner on second dashes for third. The
shortstop gets all set for the ball. and
then as it nears him. he decides IL he
takes one step backward he will be in
q better position to throw to first. The
runnre coming up from second is direct
ly behind him when he SO decides. In
taking the step backward he coliides
with the runner Both men fall and the
ball goes into left infield. The runner
gets to his feet and scores ahead Of the
There was no intent on the part of the
runner to interfere. 1t was admitted by
both sides that the fielder was really at
fault for the mixup. What Is the proper
ruling on such play?
Answer to Yesterdays Play.
When the ball was thrown to the third
then thrown to the second baseman. who
in turn touched that base, a double play
was made which retired the side. The
runner on second was forced
to advance to third on the hit. and whom
the ball was thrown to that base. while
he was still standing on second. the play
simply resolved itself into simple
force-out When the ball was thrown to
second base ahead Of the runner who
was standing on first with the batsman n.
it. was simply a case OF another
force-out. Although the runner on third
had scored before the play was made
at third, making the second out OF the
inning, the run does not score. The
rules say a run cannot score on play
in which the third out is force. as was
the case here.

The Californfs Game.
When it is known that Ohio State

ward pass statue trick, first used by
Dartmouth and later by Harvard. in
which the alleged thrower stands poised
for heaye and a back or an end takes
the ball out Of his hand from behind.
the idea that the Buckeyes were affected
by the heat or something will be
slreietneneo. Again, my advces are
to the effect that California had Ohio

charge that the middle west lags sadly

And when California hitched onto her
regular offense a few features taken
over from the old rugby game they
used to play at Berkeley, Ohio developed
California had the ball on her 2o-yard
line. She ripped off 35-yards around

yard mark, Sprott took the ball on a
direct pass. He sprinted toward Ohios

Muller who a. once heaved the ball
40-odd yards down the field To

Well, that play might well score
against any team, weather or no
weather. Sprott and Toomey worked
the same trick a bit later. landing the
ball on Ohio's 4-yard mark. whence il

Blue and Gold forwards ripped the
Ohio line was natural enough. Cali
