rated as tho best all-sround Iookin

year. Not only did he put up a
wonderful fielding game, but he
ranked next TO Ray Rohwer when

win WAS n very effective hitter with
men on bases and he finished the
season over 300.
But with Rohwer gone the big
punch Ia missing from the bat

siicker on the club last year who
could consistently step UP TO the
plate and give the ball the long

EVANS EXPLAINS
 INTRICATE PLAYS
Tells Why Runner Is Sale and Batter Is Out on Juseled Ball

Explain why batter Is out If a fielder juggles a ball but finally re- tains possession of 1t and baserun- ner is not out on touch play in which the ball Is juggled?
 Up until the fall of 1919, when the rules were given a general re- vision, the ruling on the two plays, the juggling of fly ball and the juggling of the ball after touch play were the same, the batsman was out.
 At that time the experts revising the playing code decided that on & touch play the ball must be securely held, not juggled, to complete the out.
 Thus, is runner sliding into second is touched with the ball while still three feet from the base, only to have the fielder juggle the ball after the touch. the runner is not out if he can reach the base while the ball is still in the air.
 It matters not If the fielder finally retains possession of the ball on a touch play. The moment he iuggles the ball after the touch. it renders the same void. In order to retire the runner 1t is necessary that he again secure firm hold on the ball and once more touch the runner be- fore he reaches his objective.
 If a runner after being touched, and the ball is juggled, the play is rendered void and he can be de, clared safe by reaching the base be- fore the fielder again touches him with the ball.
 While it Is apparent the rules dis criminate between two plays, that on the surface seem much the same, the juggling of ball that is finally retained before touching the ground. there is perhaps some merit to the attitude taken on a touch play, making 1t necessary to firmly hold the ball to complete the out.
