What constitutes interference by
the batsman when his bat is the
weapon of interference? Must it
be Intentional to be penalized?
There is a runner on first. The
batsman attempts to sacrifice the
runner to second. His effort is a
bunt down the third-base line.
The catcher dashes out to make
a play. AS he is about to pick up
the ball and make a play on the
runner, the batsman so throws his
bat that it hits the ball, making it
impossible for the catcher to play.
The runner on first went to third
and the batsman reached first.
When the batsman threw his bat
he had his back to tie play and
probably no intention of interfer-
ing. Should that fact receive any
consideration?
What is the proper ruling?
THE INTERPRETATION
The batsman should be declared
out for interference.
When his bat came into contact
with the ball, preventing the catcher
from picking it up and making a
play, he created an interference.
! No consideration can be given tC
1.-THE fact that he had his back to The
play, and had no idea his bat woulC
prevent a play by the catcher.
If serious consideration was Civ
en- to the intent, the umpire would
always be in trouble on an interfer
ence play. The player would in
variabiy contend there was no in
| tent to interfere.
The batsman should have beer
| declared out, and the runner wht
went from first to third sent baci
to first, as no runners can advance
| on such an interference.

THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE
muasEStscu by Raymond paZy


THE GOOD THINGS OF LIFE
The history Of mankind is a rec
ord of the growing participation of
more and more people in more and
more of the good things Of life.
This is progress.
!, And since this is the goal towards
which civilized society steadily adj
vanccs, we must believe that human
history, taken as a whole, is a rec
ord Of progress.
In spite of follies and failures, We
are slowly but surely getting ahead.
Our problems are problems of lie
and growth, not of death aud decay.
Now and then, as in the World
War, through some madness, moral
or economic. civilization may slip
back hundred years over night.
But these tragic lapses into the
swamp holes OF despair really repre-
sent an. Investment in. experience.
Ignorance IS free. knowledge has
10 Be bought and paid for ard the
price is always high. But usually it
IS worth all it costs, for by defeat,
real men learn the secret of victory,
and failure often is but the first step
on the road to success.
When. after the gloom Of the
Middle Ages, new worlds were dis
covered overseas, life became once
more a great adventure and the idea
otptogress received neY impulse.
q was the age OF another chance.
Aien felt the lure of new opportuni-
ties, and the new societies organ
lied, the new homes and institutions
builded under new skies and upon
new soil were gloriicd by the
thought and hope that they might
be better than those of the past.
Today it is reasonable and nor
NAL to think Of human history as
IN essence a forward movement from
darkness TO Fight, from slavery to
freedom, from poverty to comfort,
from aloofneSs among men and ma
tons to friendly contact and coopera-
ton.
Political progress, spiritual prog
ress, intellectual progress, material
progress: these are the goals of
earthly well-being towards which the
face of the world is turning in
deathlcss hope and desire.
Progress Defined
Progress, then, is the growing par
ticipatiOn of more and more people
IN more and more Of the good things
Of life Judged by this standard,
America IS, perhaps, the most pro-
grcsSlvc nation in the world.
Let us examine this statement.
Politically we have progressed TO
the point of representative govern
ment and universal franchise, includ-
ing men and women on an equal
basis
Intellectually, we have become a
nation of free schools, Of countless
newspapers and magazines, of thou
sands Of public Libraries, of mu-
seums, galleries and public lectures
all OF them offering their privileges
to every one alike.
Spiritually, we have unquestioned
religious freedom for all. This is
an ideal for which men have fought
more desperately perhaps, than for
any other cause, yet such freedom
IS a part OF the native air of the
United States
