RULE DIFFERENCE

There is nothing unusual about
the American league placing the ban
on resin. For years both leagues
have had at least half dozen league
rules governing their games that have
been at variance with the strict in
depreciation of the rules.
There, was a striking ILLUSTRATION
of this condition when, both leagues
used the Polo Grounds in New York.

the grandstand is much less than 80
feet. ,xias.
The rule says the baserunner is en-
titled to an extra base if the ball
touch any fence or building less
than so feet from the home plate.
In the American league games any
such happening made the ball dead
and baserunners could advance only
one base In the National league, the
baserunner was entitled to the extra
base but could advance more at, his
peril.
Thus the two leagues differed wide

THIRD BASE UMPIRE MAY BECOME
THE WORTHY KEEPER
on, RnSUN ESJs

Why the umpire ats third base?
That is the question invariably
asked when some fan for the first
time sees three umpires in charge
of a ball game
True, the umpire at third base does
seem a lot of excess baggage, but
there's a reason. Difficulty in get
ting competent men has resulted in
this rather intensive or perhaps you
may prefer to call it, passive train
ing.
The National league recently an
nounced that it would carry 12 men.
l think this is an excellent idea,
even though it does seem that the
man at third base should be pro-
vided with ukelele to keep him busy
during the afternoon
President Johnson, of the American
league, originated the idea of an
umpire at third as a method of
schooling the recruit Last season
the American league had a staff of
II men.
Major league Presidents have dis
covered that when injury or illness
forces a regular umpire out of the
game, it is impossible to recruit an
umpire from the minors and ask him
to give satisfaction with a close
fight. for the pennant in progress.
Using man at third enables the
recruit to learn much by observation
and instruction, making him ready to
step into any emergency and de-
liver. a
No doubt the scribes who have
worried about ways and means to
keep the umpire at third Interested,
will suggest that he be made worthy
keeper of the resin bag. g,f
