Plays That Puzzle
=BY BILLY EVANS

With two men out and runners on
second and third the batsman hit
ball to the right of the shortstop.
which forces that fielder to move
toward third to make a play. On
fielding the hit he decides it will be
diffIcult for him to turn and make
a play on the batsman, so he elects
to toss the ball to the third baseman
in an effort to get the runner go
ing to third. That runner, seeing he
is almost certain to be retired, stops
suddenly and starts back to second.
The third baseman starts after him
and touches him out In the mean
time the runner on third had crossed
the plate before the third out had
been made. Does the run score?
The Tally Counted.
The run scored. Had the batsman
been thrown out at first. there, of
course. would have been nothing to
the play. However. when the fielder
elected to try for the runner going
to third instead of the batter he
opened up possibilities. Since the
runner originally on third was over
the plate before the runner going
from second to third was retired,
the run legally scored

|B|G BASKET BALL
CONFAb PLANNED
Need Is Seen for Rules to Be
Interpreted in Ma
tionaI Way.
BY WALTER CAMP.

THE latest in basket ball is a
/ project, just announced. to
have a conference at the end
of the season, the idea being to
bring all sections of the country to-
gether on the rules of play. The
game has reached a high point of
interest, and local enthusiasm is in
tense, but for all this it is decidedly
confined as compared with many
other sports.
A local flavor seems to pervade it ;
that is. every one knows all the teams
in his own league and something about
q few of those that are prominent in
other sections. but as for any idea of
countrywide comparison, in spite of
some intersectional games, this element
of interest seems to be entirely lacking.
The reason for this is that while the
rules are apparently universal, the in
depreciation of these rules is as varied
as the states. This never was made
more evident than in the contests be-
Chicago quint evidently had a very diff
ferent idea of the Interpretation of the
rules from that under which Penn play
ers worked, and this placed it really in
the hands Of the official to determine the
victors. Not that the rulings were not
all justified. but that the practice Of the
two teams had been quite different
There have been some Interpretation
meetings in basket ball. but until the
method followed in foot ball, of big in
depreciation meetings in which officials
and coaches get together and determine
upon the way the rules are to be en-
forced. we shall continue to have this
unfortunate situation which ought not
to exist in sport SO thoroughly appre-
ciated by the public.
Basket ball can be very rough game.
as every one knows. How far it's rough
ness can be controlled without sapping
the virility of the players is another NIT
ter, and one which rule makers. Off
cials, coaches and players should face.
