Plays That Puzzle
sBY BILLY EVANS.

How does the umpire Judge a, fair fy
ball or foul fly bah? Does he consider
the position Of the fielder. Or does he
Judge the ball according to the relative
position Of the bail and the foul line?
For instance. on these two plays what
would have been the proper ruling? The
batsman hits fly ball to left field.
which the fielder was just able to reach
after great effort. When the bali
struck his hands both feet were in fair
territory. but his hands were extending
over the line into foul territory. Was
the ball fair or foul? On the other play
ball is hit to right field and a high
wind makes judging of a fly ball diff
cult. The fielder staggers under the
fly and. when it finally touches his
hands. his feet and body are in foul
territory, but his hands are extending
over the foul line into fair territory. Is
the ball fair or foul?
First Foufs Second Fair.
In the first play the ball was foul. IN
the second play it was fair. The UNI
pire, IN judging a fair or foul fly ball
pays no attention to the player. but
Judges the play IN accordance With the
relative position Of the bah and tho foul
line.

FOR CHAPMAN MEMORIAL.

BRUNSWICK, Me. April GA pro-
posal to institute a memorial to Ray
Chapman. shortstop of the Cleveland
club of the American League last
year. who died of injuries sustained
on the field Of play. has been ad-
vanced by students of Bowdoin Col
Iege.
The memorial would take the form
OF a silver trophy which would be
given the American League to award
annually to the shortstop of that
circuit who was of greatet value to
his team. The cup would be inscribed
1.-The Ray Chapman cup. donated by
students of Bowdoin College"
One of the reasons prompting the
proposed memorial, according to
0eoffrey Mason, who has been active
in promoting the idea, is the lack of
sentiment in the highly organized
game of today.
Chapman was not an alumnus OF
BoWdoin and so far as known never
had any connection with the insti-
tuition.
