In the midst OF the second half the

THE PLAY

is the runner on first forced to run, or has
he the option of standing on the bag?
If the runner elected to remain on the bag,
and the ball was hit to the second baseman,
who. instead of making the play to second
as is customary for q double pay, thre~
the ball to first, retiring the batter, would

Must the runner on first attempt to ad-
vance on any hit TO the infield. even 4 the
play is first made on the batter at first base?
THE INTERPRETATION
A runner on first always do he
pleases on batted ball. He has L perfect
right to remain on first base If he desires.
But what would be the advantage in re-
naming on that base'
1t is baseball for him to Try 10 ad vance,
since it Is the desire of the batsrnan to
reach first Not to run would be coIlnld-
cred "bonehead' play. Failure to run
offers greater possibility for double play
and kills entirely his chances Of reaching
second, or perhaps even further II the plsy
Is not perfectly executed. ~
If play Is first made on the batsman, re-
firing that player, then the runner On first
is not forced to advance to make room for
the batsman. The batsman's retirement re-
moves the force The original occupant then
retains the right to first base.
Touching him while standing that base,
after the batsman has been put out at first
would not retire him. as he retained the
right to the base and was exempt from be-
ing put out while standing on IL.

Local Team to Meet Milwaukee in
Double Bill Sunday.
