Plays That Puzzle
by BILLY EVANS

When a fly ball is 5uggled and rum
ners advance on the play disputes inva-
riably arise as to the status of the base
runners. The following play in a minor
league last year resulted in a protested
game. A similar play in the National
League few years ago also resulted in a
protest. There are runners on second
and third. The batter hits a difficult
line drive to left field. The center fielder
goes over to back UP the play While
he was running with his arms extended
the ball struck squarely in the left
fielder's hands. He was unable to hold
1t. the ball being detected in such a
way that the center fielder was able to
catch it before 1t struck the ground
The runner on second did not believe
a catch possible. and started to advance
the moment the ball was hit. The run
ner on third held his base until the ball
struck the left fielder's hands hands
vas thrown to second and the runner
doubled up before he could return. It
was then thrown to third. and a claim
made for triple play. The contention
raised was the runner on third Teally
had no right to leave until the center
actual completion Of the play. What
about it?
Run Was Legally scored.
The runner on third had right to
leave the base which he held the mo-
ment the ball struck the left fielder's
hands. He observed every rule and the
scoring of his run was legal. The run
ner on second who failed to hold his
base was. Of course. doubled up the
moment the ball reached the base he
had SO vacated in advance of him. II
juggling the ball was permitted. whether
intentional or not, base runners would
always be at sea AS to when to ad-
vance. Therefore il must be at the
very moment the fly ball strikes a field

Tex Rickard whispers that the fight
is likely to go to England and if not
there. to Canada. England would pay
good money to see the scrap. would
dig down in her Jeans, no doubt, and
pay prices for seats at the full value
of the American dollar, which as eX-
change goes these days is unit of
considerable value in the old coun-
try. Anyway, wherever it goes. Tex
warns people to looE for rumors and
reports of all sorts between now and

After the manager of Bob Martin

should have been matched against

Dempsey into motion pictures. and
a SKIS 100000 as his share Of profits in

peared and 100000 for personal serv-
ices.
Both actions are scheduled for trial

was to receive 25 per cent of the prof

Spellman alleges that 500, 900 is due
him under verbal contracts with
Kearns. He alleges that he made
eight trips across the continent for
Dempsey. that he "squelched" an al
legged attempt to blackmail Dempsey:
that he assisted in disproving draft
lodging charges brought against
Dempsey and that he made various
trips to New York to engage training
