Puzzling Plays

TIE PLAY.
Here is game in which rain is
the point in dispute:
! At the close of the seventh inning
the score stands to l in favor OF
the visiting team.
In the first half of the eighth the
visitors fail to score.
In the last half of the eighth rain
starts to fall as the home team comes
to bat. The first two men are re-
tired. Rain at this stage is falling
hard, but the umpire hopes to COM
plctc the inning.
The next batsman hits the ball
! over the left field fence for home
run. A second after the batsman hit
the home run drive there is a down
pour that makes further play impos-
sible
The umpire waits until the bats
man makes the circuit of the bases
and then calls time.
After long wait the umpire de-
cides that it is out of the question
to try to continue and calls the game.
What is the score? Is it 2 to g. or
does the score revert to the seventh
inning?

system of scoring will determine the
winners. Under this method of ac-

It was my good fortune to open

Manager Huggins admitted the
freak possibilities in discussing the
situation, but took the sportsman's
view when he stated that it was all
