Shout to Fielder

If you can get the ball shout
to the other fielder you will
take it. If you talk it over
before hand you are not likely
tc have much trouble. provid-
ing each is willing to give way
to the other. Don't be afraid to
yell, and don't be backward
about stopping if the other fel-
low keeps shouting that he will
take the ball.
Now for the most important
bit of advice. 1t concerns a
play in which the two outfield-
ers come so close together that
both are about to collide. Then
one should take himself out of
the play, as shown in the ac-
companying picture. First shout
to the other fielder to take the
ball, then throw yourself on
the ground.
It is better to throw yourself
in front of the fielder who is
making the catch. if this is
possible. If you throw yourself
behind him he may have to
back up a bit after taking the
ball and lose it by falling over
the player on the ground. Fall
ing away is sure way to pre-
vent injury to both players, and
the best insurance against the
ball being dropped.

UMPIRE UPHELD.
BY LEAGUE HEAD.

NEW YORK. May President
John Heydler, Of the National
League today disallowed the ap-
peal Of the St. Louis club to re-
play the game won by the Cubs,
4 to /. at Chicago on April 10.
In so doing. Heydler upheld
Umpire Moran. The protest was
based on an alleged misinterpre-
tation of the rules by Moran in
that he had applied the dis
carded "momentarily held" rule
on a fly-ball catch by Outfielder
Riggs Stephenson at a crucial pc
riod of the game.
Heydler held that the decision
was one involving solely the &C
curaCy of the umpire's Judgment
that there was no misapplica,
ton Of the caught-ball rule by
Moran.
The Washington times., 1931-05-07

The advice which is CON
tained in today's lesson will be
found particularly important,
1t is given with the idea of
helping outfielders to escape
injury through collisions in GlIe
outfield. Now and then these
collisions cause one player to
drop the ball, and perhaps a
game is lost through the mis-
play. But the chief thing to be
considered is injury to one or
both.
I don't need to tell what may
happen when two fielders
crash into each other while 60
ing at top speed. Sometimes
it is a head injury, a brain
conclusion, a broken jaw or
bad cut on the head. I have
seen them all. Sometimes a
knee is broken. the injury which
all ball players dread. 1t may
be a collarbone, or an ankle.
Almost anything can happen
and it is important that out
fielders work together to pre-
vent such things happening.
The Washington times., 1931-05-07
Avoid Misery

BY remembering a few things
you will avoid a lot of misery,
and perhaps win a lot more
ball games.
The ball which is hit between
two outfielders belongs to the
fielder who first yells that he
will take it. That is the cue
for the other fellow to keep out
of the play. If a players yells
he will take it. and then fails,
there is no blame to be at
tached to the other. even
though the fielder who stops
running is closer to the ball.
AS you move toward a ball
keep your eye on it, and keep
your ear tuned up for some
The Washington times., 1931-05-07
Out of Play

There are some outfielders
who run after every ball with
their mouths shut and their
ears closed. They are a danger
on any team. If a player re
fuses to give way when another
outfielder yells for the ball it is
something that the marager
must settle. Talk it over with
the fellow who plays beside you.
Make it clear that the main ob-
ject of you both being out there
is to see that no fly balls gets
away. Try to accustom your
self to the part of the field you
must cover, and talk it over
with the player next to you so
he can do the same. Now and
then ball will be hit which be-
longs as much to one as to the
others, and then is the time when
you must keep your ears open
and be set to fall away, If neceS-
Sary.
Decide in advance that each
will yell. When you wait FOR
certain word you are not likely
to miss it when it is spoken.
Remember you can hurt your
team a lot more by crashing
into another player than in any
other way. Don't feel that y,u
should go rushing after every
ball that you may possibly reach.
The fellow playing alongside
you may be in better position to
catch it.
The fellow who is playing be-
side you is entitled to the same
protection from you which you
expect from him.

FAIRGROUNDS
PREP FOR
MEETS

With the sixteenth annual city
wide field and track champion
ships scheduled May %, play
ground athletes today are placing
the final touches to their train
ing for the sectional meets.
These sectional meets, both
Junior and senior, will qualify
the first, second and third place
winners for the finals. In past
years, the sectional and champion
ship carnivals were held on the
Plaza track. This playground
site has gone to limbo, a martyr
to the park plan for the Union
Station area.
On Divisional Grounds
The sectional meets will be
held on divisional grounds this
year. while no site has been
selected for the finals. The
Columbia Heights meet, booked
for Monday on the Iowa Avenue
playground. is the only one that
will not be held on the divisional
grounds,
Other meets are: Georgetown,
Tuesday, virginia Avenue.
Wednesday,: ROSedale, Thursday,
May IA: Garfield. Friday, May
Is: New York Avenue, Monday,
May 1S, and BloOmingdale, Tues
day, May 10.
The first city.wide elementatry
school playground field and track
championship was held in 1918,
though divisional meets were be-
gun four years previous.
Ross School holds the record for
number of victories, having seized
eight of the championships in
which it competed and tied with
West School for first in 1919,
Ross came back to win in 1920,
1921, 1922 and 1923. while Monroe
crashed the Ross monopoly to win
in 1924. but Ross returned to its
throne in 1925.
Schools Last Victory
That was the schools last vic
tory. even dropping from the divi'
sional meets after 1923 when re-
duced to a fifth grade school.
Other winners were Peabody,
in 1925; Monroe, in 1927: E. v.
Brown. in 1928; Monroe, in 1929,
and Monroe, in 1880.
| Monroe has the best chance of
equalling the mark posted by Ross
School, but the former must grab
first honors in the meet on May
% and the following year as well
That will be an achievement. but
will merely tie Ross feat of four
straight victories.
Feat Likely to Stand
In order to match the Ross
record, Monroe must further tie
for first place in the 1888 games
and win outright championships
the three years following. Play
ground athletic heads regard this
improbable in the face of the
strong competition furnished in re
cent years.

Although The Times Junior
Baseball Association is still in its
infancy, things look very promis-
ing for the youngsters. Many
persons have envoiced opinions
to the contrary, but these men
base their opinions on the Boys

sponsored some years ago. It
seems that most of these men

REQUESTB0YS
TO BOOK
FIELDS

At the meeting of the Times
Junior Baseball Association last
night many problems concerning
the functions of the league were
discussed. So that all managers
may be informed as to their
playing fields and the time Of
the games the officials have de-
cided to call the managers Of the
teams in question Immediately
after they receive their assign
ments.
The umpires also decided to
hold their meetings on Tuesday
evenings for the remainder OF the
season. At these meetings they
will receive instructions for the
games to be played the following
Saturday. They will, at these
meetings, discuss all the protest
matter.
Regular Meetings
The regular meetings will en-
able the umpires to compare
notes. They will be able to cor
rect their score books as we'll.
The official records will also be
compiled at these sessions. These
officials are the judges Of the
most valuable player. They will
submit the names of the players
whom they think most valuable
to the baseball association direc-
tor. He in turn will survey the
records Of the players whose
names are submitted.
The Times Junior Baseball
Association promises that these
officials are of the best possible
type for a junior league. They
are thoroughly and practically
acquainted with the game. In
view Of this the Times Junior
leaguerS should have competent
officiating. Considering that the
league will be assisted by good
umpires It should be an over.
whelming success.
SandIOtters Pleased
All the junior sandlotters seem
TO be thoroughly pleased with the
way III WHICH T6Su1LS Oh LIE
opening games were handled
last Saturday. Several of the
teams, however. are a bit uncer-
tain as to the scores of their
games. The main trouble seems
to be in the arrangements per.
tanning to the baseball fields. The
baseball diamonds at the Monu
ment seem to have a time limit
This causes some of the longer
games to be called before they
have gone the full route.
While this condition is tre
that cannot be remedied II Is
very likely that some adjust
ments will be made to help
this to be changed. The
sandlOtters are not exactly
pleased with this arrangement.
From now on the games will
be declared official il seven
innings have been played.
