THIRD BASE UMPIRE

Why the umpire at third base?
Ihat is the question invariably
asked when some fan for the first
time sees three umpircs in charge Of
ball game.
true, the umpire at third base does
seem = lot OF excess bapgapc. but
there's reason. Difficulty in get
t!ns competent men has resulted IN
TINS rather intensive, or perhaps YOU
may prefer to call it, passive train
ing.
lac National League recently an
nounccd that it would carry IL men.
think this is an excellent idea,
even though it does seem that the
man ut third base should be pro-
vided with a ukclelc to keep him
busy during the afternoon.
President Johnson Of the Amcri-
can 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
IL 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 q close
fight for the pcnnant in progress.
Using q man at third, enables the
recruit to learn much by observation
and instruction. making him ready
to step into any emergency and de-
liver.
No doubt the scribes wha. have
worried about ways and means to
keep the umpire at third interested
will suggest that he be made worthy

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
Interpretation OF the rules.
There was striking illustration
Of this condition when both leagues
used uhc Polo Grounds in New York.
The distance from the home plate
to the grandstand is much less than
80 feet.
The rule says the bascrunncr is en-
titled to an extra base if the ball
touch any fence or building less
than 90 feet from the home plate.
In the American League games any
sucn happening made the ball dead
and baserunncrs 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
widely. In world series games two
separate rulings were necessary.
The American League In placing
ban on tho resin bag. simply re-
fuses to conform TO rule that II
believes sayOrs Of trickery. The rule
is not compulsory, merely optional.

The plan is TO test the dam with
