ROOKIE IN BASEBALL HALL OF FAME

In addition there is Bobby veach
one OF the few remaining slugger'
OF the old type. and Lu Blue and
Bobby Jones, both numbered in the
select circle of the 900 hitters
Against this slugging combination
was a recruit pitcher working his
second full game as a major Lacquer
For that reason, RobertsoD's feat
stands out as one OF the most re-
markable performances in the an
nails of the game.
And above all. the gameness un-
der fire stands outl
During the last five innings of the
game the Detroit team constantly
stopped play and insisted the UNI
pires examine the ball. As late as
the start of the last half of the
ninth, a protest was made that pos
sibly Robertson was doctoring the
ball.
Never Faltered
It is possible the Detroit team be-
lieved Robertson was prohting
through trickery. It is also more
probable that the protests were be-
ing made to throw the recruit Off
his stride.
Robertson never faltered. Instead
OF being upset he seemed to grow
better as the game progressed. It
is matter of record that the De-
troit club hit the ball much harder
In the early innings than after the
protesting was started.
Robertson is a husky right-hand-
er. He was picked up by the White
Sox while pitching for Austin Col
lege at Sherman, Tex. He is a grad
uate OF that institute. Last season
he was farmed by the Chicago club
to Minneapolis to get further expe-
rienoe.

Eller was trick pitcher. That
is. he got a hop or break on his
fast ball by means OF doctoring the
sphere. National Leaguers always
insisted he used powdered emery on
the ball.
This was always denied by Eller,
but the fact remains that after the

BY BILLY EVANS

How does an umpire determine
whether a fly ball is an infield or
outfield fly? III, after the umpire
rules hit an infield fly, and said
fly Is handled by an outfielder who
drops II, does that change the play
in any way? How can base run

When an umpire rules a fly ball
an infield fy. It merely resolves itself
into a question OF Judgment. An
inheld fly is any fly ball other than
line drive which in the opinion of
the umpire can be handled by an
infielder.
The infeld fly rule applies Will
first and second or first, second and
third base occupied and less thai
two out. This rule was made to pro
tect the base runner from beinl
