Question: Runners ON third and
second. Batter hits to second base
man. Runner on third tries for home.
Runner on second reaches third. Run
ner trying for home sees that he can
not make it and goes back to third.
Runner who had advanced from second
is on third. Catcher holds the ball on
home plate and demands an out from
the umpire.
Answer: Catcher is wrong. There
was no force play and the runner
could go back to third while the run
ner on third could return to second
which was still his base.
Question: Runner is on second base.
Pitcher winds up and throws to the
batter. Runner starts for third. Bat
ter pops fly TO the third baseman
and the ball is caught. Runner claims
he is safe because he got to third be-
fore the fly was caught.
Answer: Runner is wrong. The
play began with the wind-up of the
pitcher. Therefore. the runner on sec.
ond must go back to second after the
fly is caught. If he remains on third
he may be touched out.
Question: On the third strike the
batter hits the ball TO the ground i'm.
mediately in front of home plate. II

Gene Seng got the youthful mem
bers of the Junior Baseball League of
San Antonio together at 6 o'clock
Tuesday night at Moore's store in the
most successful meeting that they have
held this season.
A gratifying number of clubs were
represented and Gene has word from q
number of others that they desire to
enter. The Cubs, Los Angeles Heights,
Collins Gardens, South Side Pirates
and an unnamed club whose members
are recruited from Garden street, were
represented. Denver Heights sent
word that they desired to enter, as
did Harlandale. The old name of the
Prospect Hill Braves will be assumed
by a new crop of youngsters. The
iurions who won the junior champion
ship for two years under this title
have graduated into the intermediate
grade and the new youngsters will at
tempt to carry on the good work.
Contracts were given out Tuesday
night and it is expected that players
will be signed up and some of the con-
tracts returned by the next meeting
which will be held next Tuesday night.
New officers likely will be elected at
the next meeting also or at least a
committee appointed TO select pros
poets for the officers positions to lead
the league through the season.

Commercial Baseball League this sea
son as the result of the admission of
the Sap General Office club and of the

league held at Z 80 Tuesday night at
The Dibble Company on South Alamo
street.
The railroad team was represented
by Mr.. Whitworth and the Yelling

league were The Dibble Company,
Joske's. A. B. Frank, Peden Iron X
Steel Company. San Antonio Print
ing Company, the I.-G. n. railroad
the Alamo Iron Works and the South
ern Pacific Railroad.
Admission was denied the Vocation
al Training School club which was
considered too strong for the circuit
which is made up of members whose
players are selected from the organiza-
tions which they represent with only
three exceptions allowed.
Amendments to the constitution pro
viding for deposits of S15 by each team
and for 81 fines for failure TO have a
representative at meetings were adop.
ed. The deposits will be returned to
the clubs at the end of the season with
the amount of fines subtracted.
| A schedule will be made out later
probably at the next meeting which
will be held subject TO the call of the
