Plays That Puzzle
by BILLY EVANS

What are the rights Of the batsnan
as to leaving his box? Batsmen often
step out of the box. and while they are
still out. the pitcher delivers the ball.
In some cases the umpire has declared
the pitch a strike or ball. as he saw
it. Usually no ruling is made. In the
play I have in mind, the batsman
struck at the ball with such force that
he was carried off his balance and
feff the greater portion of his body
being out of the batter's box. Getting
to his feet he stepped entirely out of
the box. The pitcher then delivered
the ball to the batter. The runner on
second tried for third on the pitch. but
was thrown out. What attitude is TAX
en- on such plays by the umpires?
Time Called, Ball L. Dead.
The rights of the batsman to leave
his box depend to a large extent on
the reason for SO doing. If he leaves
only to protest the judgment of the
umpire the official seldom calls time,
giving the pitcher the right to pitch.
Often. to impress on the batter how he
feels about the protest. the umpire
orders the pitcher to deliver the ball
OFTEN the batsman has a good reason
Tor stepping out and notifies the UNI
pire of his desire. Perhaps there is
something in his eye, or he desires to
change his signs with the runner.
perhaps he seeks further orders from
the bench. In all such cases the UNI
pire Is lenient and, to protect the sit
uation. calls time. That is why one
so often sees the umpire make no rul-
ing on pitch. Since time had been
called the pitcher had no right to
deliver the ball. and no decision is
made on it, the ball being dead.

Points to U. s. G. AS Promise for
Adjustment and Indicates
Break Will Not Come.

CHICAGO, January 1.-the West
ern Golf Associa ton at it's annual
meeting tonight decided to defer for
one year or until the next special
meeting. action on the proposal to
change the name to the American Golf
Association, and to adopt a new con-
stitution.
This action was taken on the motion
of Vice President y. r. Gates, who ex-
planned that at recent conferences
with directors of the United States
Golf Association the latter body prom
ised to grant several concessions to
avoid a contention over the control of
golf in the United States He said
the l.. S. G. A. had increased its
directors from nine to thirteen. six of
whom would represent various golf
associations, the four added directors
coming from western clubs.
The L. s. &. A, also had promised
to revise the rules Of golf to an Amer
lean standard, he said and to make
all allied member clubs active MEM
bers provided 80 per cent of the allied
clubs voted to become active. The
motion was seconded by James T..
Nugent of Kansas City. Mo, "a director,
who said that the L. 5. G. A. had ar
ranged for d committee to come from
England and Scotland as soon as
possible to confer on further changes
in rules obtained last summer by the
American committee that went to st.
Andrews. which. he said, were not
satisfactory.
Nugent said IL was expected that
within year an entirely new code
for golf would be agreed on and that.
while it would not change the game.
it would modify the law of golf in
such way to avoid disputes and
discomfort.
