Question: Umpire permitted five
men TO take part in play TO run a
base runner down between third and
home. Please give me the rule which
says this is not right.
Answer: There is no rule Of that
kind. Nine players may run a player
down il they are needed.
Question: Runners are on first and
third and the pitcher makes a balk
toward third. Are both runners per-
mitted to advance or may only the
runner from first take the next base?
Answer: The runner on first goes
to second and the runner on third
scores.
Question: Batter hits TO the short
stop who throws TO first base. The
ball hits the glove of the first baseman
and bounds from the glove to the other
hand by which it is held. Is the bat
ter safe or out?
Answer. If the runner. or batter.
touches the base while the ball is being
juggled he is safe. IL the first base
man actually holds the ball in his un-
gloved hand before the batter touches
first, the latter is out.

Boat Owned BY Local Men
Although the Sonia, is registered
with the custom department as be-
Ing owned by Richard Bertetta OF
East Rutherford, New Jersey. in
formation received from official
sources today is that the vessel
which is the former Astor speed
boat, Is now owned by Perth Amboy
people. It is understood the sale of
the boat from Bertetta to local par
ties took place recently and the reg
istry to the new owners had not
been made as yet at the New York
custom house.
During the past week the boat
was tied up at Merrill's dock here
and the cabin removed. The boat
was then tss.&cn to Keyport where
some other work was done. 1t is
believed this is the first trip made
by the boat to the rum fleet since
the alterations were made.
The Sonia is equipped with two
800 horse power engines and can
make over thirty miles an hour. Ac-
cording to local information the
boat was able to make the trip from
this city to the rum fleet and back
within a period of five and one half
hours.
It Is believed the names given to
the federal authorities in New York
are fictitious. There il no Green
