THE PLAY

Please explain the difference in
these two situations:
In the first play there is a run
ner on thru and two out. With
three balls and two strikes on the
batsman, he swings at the next
pitch misses the ball. It likewise
gets away from the catcher and
rolls to the stand.
The runner from third logged
over to the plate on the play, while
the batsman was able to reach sec
ond before the catcher recovered
the ball.
The batsman who went to sec
ond failed to touch first. The
ball was thrown to the first base
man, held on that base, and the
umpire ruled out the runner who
failed to touch first, making the
third out.
Does the run count?
In the other play there is rum
ner on third and two out, and
three balls and two strikes on the
batsman. The next pitch is Wild.
The umpire rules it fourth ball,
emitting the batter to first. The
pitch eluded the catcher and rolled
to the grandstand.
The runner on third crossed the
plate on the play, while the bats
man reached second. he failed to
touch first. The ball is thrown
there and he is declared out, re-
firing the side.
zDoes the run count?
1.-THE INTERPRETATION
In the first play the run does
not count. The batsman who
struck out and reached second on
play, having failed to touch first,
never became the occupant of that
bag. The rule state that a man
Fcannot score on a play in which
the batsman fails to reach first for
the third out. Failure of the bats
man to touch first created just
such situation. Never hoving
touched first he failed to gain title
to the bag.
In the second play the run
counts. The base on balls entitled
the batsman to first. In failing to
touch that base on his way to sec
ond he made himself liable to be
put out as was the case, but his
action in no way affected the scor-
ing of the run.

WYOMING CORN

Gain in Hay Yield and
Decline in Wheat
Feature Report

The largest corn crop in the his.
tory of the state. n good hay crop
and a decline in the wheat and po-
tato prospects are the outstanding
features of the monthly report OF
the United States Department of
Agriculture issued from its Chey-
enne office.
The Wyoming corn crop is fore
casted at 2.315. 900 bushels from a
condition of 96 per cent, last months
forecast was 1890. 900 bushels. the
1922 crop was estimated Mt $780,
900 bushels and the five year
ds1T-2T average production is $751;
900 bushels. The corn crop is n
little late and some danger of frost
IS reported. but the nmount Of feed
Will greatly supplement the hay crop
The spring wheat crop is fore
casted at 2.3s4. 900 bushels compared
with last months forecast Of $685.
900 bushels. last years crop was es-
ttmated al 2,z14. 900 bushels and the
five year average at 2.e55 .o0o bush
els. Tho condition Of the crop Is
10 per sent n decline Of II points
during August due to rust dam
age in the south eastern and Forth
eastern districts.
The preliminary estimate OF the
winter crop made last month was
$50 900 bushels compared with &c.
600 last year and the five year av-
erage of so7, 900 bushels.
The oat crop is placed at 6.612 900
bushels. while tho August forecast
indicated 6,542. 900 bushels. last years
crop was estimated Mt 5.o56,0oo
bushels and the five year average
is 3,42S,o 900 bushels The oat crop
is very promising and large yields
arc expected. Oats were fed up
very close last winter resulting a
very small carry over.

1.033 cars were moved from 1899
o 954 ears from 1921 crop and
BIT cars were moved from the 1870

The principal decline seems to be
due TO insect and disease damage in
the Big Horn basin and southeast
ern districts, with some loss due to
poor stands and other causes.
The hay crop over the entire state
promises to be better than in 1922
but shotages are reported from Fro.

OF the Big Horn Basin where con

crop at this time is forcasted at

year average of 1.34S. 900 n
The sugar beet tonnage promises
&C be larger than last year although
the crop is not up to earlier expec'

quality of the pods of the early

not more than 20 per cent of the

slightly higher elevation and th,
proximity of the sand dunes which
make the air warmer in this see
