Plays That Puzzle
BY BILLY EVANA

The rights of the fielder and base
runner on batted balls to the infield
usually make trouble. There are per-
haps a half dozen similar situations in
which the ruling varies. Here Is a
play that is the cause Of many a dis
pute: Runner is on second base. The
batsman hits hard grounder direct
ly at the third baseman. The runner
on second Is going over on the play.
The ball strikes sQuarely in the hands
Of the third sacker, but he Is unable
to hold it. and it is detected into left
field. The runner going over from
second is close to the shortstop when
this happens. The shortstop makes a
rush to get the ball and collides with
the base runner. The runner gets to
his feet and reaches third in safety,
the batter going to second. Is the
runner out for Interference?
Entitled to Bases Gained.
The runner is not out for interfer-
ence. The runner who reached third
and the batter, who got to second on
the play. are entitled to hold such
bases. Once a fielder makes q play on
ball a chance for interference is
very rare. In this case the third
sacker made play on the ball. hence
when the shortstop and runner col
lided it was of no moment If such
interferences were allowed fielders
would always try to collide with a
runner after some other player had
made an error. in an effort to nullify
the play.
