There always was a lot of talk
about misjudged flies. 1t wasn't un-
certain talk either. Opinions were
expressed with such positive convic-
ton that not unlikely Bill Jones ana
Abner Rowland wouldn't speak for
week and old Judge Grady would go
stamping off home denouncinS every
body within range of his voice for
being blockhead, because the judge
insisted that misJudged ny was
simply plain stupidity.
The Judge was partially right. Per
haps in most cases he was seven
parts right out of ten. but the fact
that occasionally he could be wrong
always left the question open for
argument 1t never takes long to
get up an argument in base ball It
starts as easily as a fire is kindled
by throwing a lighted match into a
gasoline can.
1t has now come to be understood
that il must be a very, very ex-
ceptional cast of misjudgment that
goes down as an error. There are so
many ways in which a fly hit can be
misjudged that it is not good policy
to give too much leeway to the scorer
to decide for himself as to whether
chances are that the scorer might
work more cases of injury to the
fielder than he would do good to
the score Many of the plays on
which flies are misjudged are long
distance from where the scorer sits
and not always is he in the best of
position TO determine what actually
happened.
Ground conditions sometimes bother
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1923-04-09

the fielder. He may be going rlght
for a fly hit and step into a depres-
sion. Occasionally he slips slightly.
The missing of a step is not very
plain to the scorer, but the matter
of three or four inches which were
lest in a stride spell death and de-
struction to the chances OF the man
who was trying to get the ball.
The wind may take the ball away,
and it does very often. The scorer
as a general thing is all up in the
air on the wind question He is IN
no position to gauge it. For that
reason and for others the play has
been deemed to be one of those which
should have a certain arbitrary defl-
milton to it.
Whenever the ball is misjudged it
is given to the batter for what ne
makes out of it. If the ball falls safe
the hit usually goes as base hit
If the ball goes over the fielder's head
it is best always to give 1t base
hit If the ball is partially blocked
by the fielder the scorer must be
Judgment The first tendency will be
to give an error. but if 1t is apparent
that some outside cause affected the
hit in any way the scorer should give
the batter the hit. Remember that
the theory of the game, although it
is a theory which has not been ad-
vanced as emphatically as it should
be, is that the. batter should be given
the preference when there is any
legitimate doubt as to whether a bat
ted ball is a safe hit or the fielder
should be charged with mistake.

CHAMBERS, Is, VICTOR
IN LONGEST FIGHT, DIES

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April s.
Arthur Chambers, once lightweight
champion of the world and hero of
the longest battle with bare knuck1es
in the history of the squared circle. is
dead. He was seventy-five years old.
and was stricken with paralysis sew
eral weeks ago.
Chambers was widely known to fol-
lowers of the professional boxing
ring When the late Marquis of
Queensberry decided to formulate
rules calculated to elevate the sport
he consulted Chambers, and their
joint efforts resulted in the regula-
lions under which boxing contests
are held.
Chambers won the lightweight title
from Johnny Clark, who recently died
at Atlantic City, in 1856 rounds. The
fight took place on March II, 1879,
at Chippewa Falls, Canada, and was
under the old London rules. when
knockdown counted as a round.

Long Beach it might be said. is
twenty three miles from New York,
an island in the sea just below
Rockaway. There is beach ten
miles long, hard sand and all sorts

The first idea was to train at Sara

this was too far from the Bowery
and so the shift was made. A tent
will be erected outside the hotel. the

charge so cents admission to all

Avoiding the precedent set by Jack
Kearns at Atlantic City, neither
Johnson nor Cook will take any of
the money earned; it will be de-
voted to the cause of our wounded

that idea, is there?
Something of Floyd Johnsons at

set forth and it will explain among
other things his signing for the Fred

fight, according to those who are
