In baseball ii IS not uncommon 20
see the recruit inhelders practicing
m the outheld, while the outhelders
are scattered around the infeld dur

IN other respects players have a
habit OF doing stunts at which they
are not proficient. and very often
said stunts play havoc with their
work and their teams chances to
win.
Very often you find some pitcher

The inneld fly rule was made to
protect the base runner II was
discovered before the rule was made
that with first and second. or hrst,
second and third occupied and less
than two out. It was occupied and
less than two out. it was always
possible to make a double play on
a fly BAH to the inheld.
Under such conditions the base
runner to prevent being doubled up
if the ball was caught. was COM
PEELED TO stick close TO his base.
Such being the case by purposely
dropping the bail or trapping 1t. the
infihlder always had couple Of
easy force plays in front OF him.
However. with only first base
occupied, there is never a chance to
make a double play on a fly ball

his base and the batter runs out his
