Plays That Puzzle
=BY BILLY EVANS:

When a player is injured on the ball
field. calling of time by the umpire
10 usually a matter of dispute. Here
Is q play that came up In an American
League game last summer. The bats
man hit to the shortstop. who made
O bad throw to first base. The first
bAseman in an effort to make the
play went far up the line, colliding
with the base runner at bout the
time the ball struck his glove. So
great was the force of the collision
runner and fielder were rendered un-
conscious. The runner was thrown
over and beyond first base. but failed
to touch it The ball rolled into the
infeld. 1t was recovered by the
pitcher, who rushed over to where
the batsman was lying on the ground
and touched him with the ball IT
was apparent both men were badly
hurt The crowd was yelling for
the umpire TO call time. What was
the proper way to handle such play?
= Had to Call Batsman Out.
There is nothing in the rules that
gives the umpire the right to call
time before the completion of the
play. Consequently when the pitcher
recovered the ball and touched the
runner there was nothing for the
out. 1t would have been the same
batsman had missed il because of
the collision. If time was called
for an accident. regardless of the
completion Of play. players would
constantly feign injury when II would
work to their advantage.
