In this first room the panelng is of
pine-a white pine which is no longer
found and which was considered an
excellent material for carving. The
panels were all put together with
wooden pegs. no nails having been
used. The room is Of the Connecticut
type, and experts have pronounced it
very beautiful and unusual because
OF the design and carving of the pan

the unusual size ana proportions. The

Question-Batter knocks a long
fly to left field. The fielder runs hard
for the ball and succeeds in getting
under it. 1t strikes him in the chest
and bounces off but he is smart and
catches it in his glove. Is that kind
of catch legal?
Answer-1t is, Usually when ball
hits a player in the body the player
loses the ball for good.
Question-Two are out and there
is a runner on third base. Batter raps
a long fly to the deepest part of the
field. Runner on third starts for home
at once when the ball is batted and
actually scores before the ball = is
caught, which he tried to do. Should
the run not count?
Answer-No. The runner was n
very fast young man but the batter
was out before reaching first base
and the runner would have to touch
third after the fly was caught if there
were no other rule to govern the play.
Question-Batter hits the ball to
second base and the second bascman
in trying to field it lets the ball go
between his legs. His glove does not
touch the ball. Is it an error or base
hit?
Answer-A matter of personal
judgment. If the ball seemed to go
too fast for the baseman. score it n
hit. If he went after it clumsily make
it an error.
