TWO NO-HITTERS BY A. L. FLINGERS


Two American League entered the hurlers' mythical hall of
pitchers
fame in 1947 by registering
no-hit, no-run efforts. Don Black, righthander
with the Indians, turned the trick in a twilight game against the Athletics
at Cleveland, July 10, and Bill McCahan of the A's performed the feat at
Washington's expense in Philadelphia, September 3.
Black, staging a comeback in 1947 after winning only one game and los-
ing seven the previous season with Cleveland and Milwaukee, authored his
masterpiece before a twi-night double-header crowd of 47,871, largest ever
to witness a no-hitter. The Tribe hurler issued six bases on balls and
fanned five in the 3 to victory over his one-time teammates, who sent
32 batters to the plate. Ironically, the victim of Black's stellar chucking
was Bill McCahan.
Only an error prevented McCahan from chalking up a perfect game in
his 3 to no-hitter against the Senators. The A's young righthander faced

28 batters just one over the minimum-and the Nats' lone base-runner
was Stan Spence in the second inning. Spence reached base when First
Baseman Ferris Fain, after fielding Stan's roller, threw wildly to McCahan
covering first base. McCahan, who walked none, struck out two. Only
2,816 fans were on hand for the performance, which ended a seven-game
losing streak for the Mackmen.

BLACKWELL'S 16 IN ROW INCLUDES NO-HITTER


Ewell Blackwell, rangy Cincinnati righthander, compilecf a string of 16
consecutive victories while leading the majors with 22 triumphs in 1947
in his sophomore year with the Reds, The skein was the longest in the
Big Time since Carl Hubbell finished the 1936 season with an unbroken run
of 16 in a row for the New York Giants. One of Blackwell's wins was a
no-hitter, and in his next start he came within two outs of a second straight
hitless effort.
Beginning the streak against the Cubs, May 10, Blackwell defeated the
Braves, Dodgers and Phils three times each, the Cubs, Giants and Pirates
twice apiece and the Cardinals once. Five of the wins were shutouts. In
only one start during the stretch did he fail to go the route, being removed
for a pinch-hitter against the Giants, June 1, with the score tied. His suc-
cessor, Harry Gumbert, received credit for the victory.
The Braves were victims of Blackwell's no-hit performance in a night
game at Cincinnati, June 18. Only 30 batters faced the Redleg ace, who
walked four and struck out three in the 6 to victory, witnessed by 18,137,
In his next start, against Brooklyn, June 22, Blackwell was only two
outs away from duplicating Johnny Vander Meer's feat of successive no-
hitters when Eddie Stanky blasted a single through the box. Jackie Rob-
inson followed a moment later with another for Brooklyn's only safeties.
The Giants ended Blackwell's streak, July 30, leaving him three short
of Rube Marquard's record of 19 straight wins for the 1912 Giants. A
homer by Willard Marshall with one out in the ninth and another run
in the tenth spelled defeat for Blackwell, 5 to 4.

THE SPORTING NEWS' Top Men in in
The Year 1947 in Review
By CLIFFORD KACHLINE

UNPARALLELED in the history of the game, the season of 1947 added


many epic chapters to the annals of Organized Ball, including establish-
ment of an all-time attendance high of 60,810,635 paid customers. Sharing
with the two majors in making the campaign a banner one were a
record number of 52 minor leagues and 388 clubs operating under the
jurisdiction of the National Association. Every circuit completed the season,
and only a few franchise shifts were made.
Top headline honors of the year, aside from the attendance figures,
revolved about the two former stormy petrels and guiding geniuses of

Brooklyn's 1941 National League champions Larry MacPhail, seven years
ago president of the Dodgers and in 1947 chief executive of the world's
champion New York Yankees, and Leo Durocher, manager of the '41 Bums,
who was forced to sit out the '47 campaign while Brooklyn marched to
another flag.
A feud involving the pair. President Branch Rickey of Brooklyn and
other Dodger officials rocked the majors' 1947 spring training campaign.
MacPhail's signing the previous winter of Charley Dressen and John Corriden.
previously Dodger coaches, as aides to Bucky Harris: charges that the
Yankee president had two alleged gamblers as his guests at a Bomber-
Dodger exhibition game in Havana: charges and counter-charges that
Durocher had sought, or had been offered, the Yankee managerial pest before

Harris was appointed these were among the factors that added fuel to a
blaze which was brought to a head when Commissioner A. B. Chandler
called an official hearing at Sarasota, Fla., March 24, on filing of a formal
complaint by MacPhail.
All principals involved were summoned by Chandler, but Rickey was
prevented from attending by the death of a brother-in-law. The hearing was
closed March 28 at St. Petersburg, Fla., when Chandler held a special session
devoted to MacPhail and Rickey. All were enjoined not to discuss events
transpiring at the meetings.

On April 9 just six days before opening of the major league season the
Commissioner announced his decision. Durocher was adjudged guilty of

conduct detrimental to baseball and suspended for the entire 1947 playing
season, MacPhail was fined $2,000 for his part in the squabble, the Brooklyn
club drew a similar assessment. Traveling Secretary Harold Parrott of the
Dodgers was fined $500 for ghosting several caustic articles appearing under
Durocher's by-line in the Brooklyn Eagle, and Dressen was suspended for 30
days from the start of the pennant race.
Coach Clyde Sukeforth immediately took charge of the Dodger club, but
three days after the season opened Burt Shotton, summoned from his Flor-
ida home by Rickey, was persuaded to assume the Brooklyn reins. Du-
rocher, meantime, retired to comparative obscurity in California with his
actress-wife, Laraine Day. The pair had been married in El Paso, Tex..
January 21, after she had obtained a Mexican divorce following awarding
of an interlocutory divorce decree in California.
MacPhail subsequently was summoned to Cincinnati twice during the
season by Commissioner Chandler to explain his actions in commenting on
the Durocher suspension, contrary to orders not to discuss the subject. The
Colonel, whose Yankees rocketed to the American League flag and then
beat the Dodgers in the World's Series, again stole the headlines on the
day of the Series finale by announcing his retirement as president-general

club for $2,000,000. Topping became president and George M. Weiss, former
farm supervisor, was installed as general manager.
For the first time since 1942, no managerial changes were made during
the season. Billy Herman, however, resigned as Pittsburgh manager, Sep-
tember 25, although his two-year contract had another season to run. Coach
Bill Burwell directed the Bucs in their lone remaining game as the Pi-
rates tied Philadelphia for last place.
Finishing in the basement in 1947 also proved disastrous for a freshman
American League pilot. Herold (Muddy) Ruel, who had, resigned as assist-
ant to Commissioner Chandler to accept a two-year pact as pilot of the St.
Louis Browns, was relieved shortly after the season closed. Two other
managerial shifts were necessitated when Ossie Bluege was relieved of the
Washington helm to become head of the club's farm system and Joe Cronin
moved up to the Boston Red Sox: front office as general manager. Bluege
had piloted the Nats five years and Cronin led the Millionaires 13 seasons.
Durocher, his suspension completed, was rehired, December 6, as Dodger
pilot for 1948, with Shotton taking over a supervisory position in the farm
organization. Another manager signed for 1948 after a season out of the
game was Joe McCarthy, former Yankee skipper, who was induced to
come out of retirement by the Red Sox. Washington brought back Joe
Kuhel, former Senator first sacker who made his managerial debut at

Hot Springs in the Cotton States League in 1947, as pilot, while Pittsburgh
signed Bill Meyer, who led Kansas City to the American Association flag
and long was associated with the Yankee system. The Browns filled their
pilot vacancy by calling back James (Zack) Taylor, who served as a Pitts-
burgh coach in 1947. Zack previously coached for the Browns and had
finished 1946 as the club's manager following dismissal of Luke Sewell.
Highlighting the 1947 pennant races were the home run hitting achieve-
ments of Johnny Mize and Ralph Kiner, who collected 51 four-baggers
each, and the New York Giants, who set a team record with 221 home runs;
the 16-game winning streak of Cincinnati's Ewell Blackwell, who also came
within two outs of two successive no-hitters, and the 19-game victory skein
of the Yankees, equalling the American League record.
Another significant event was the introduction of the Negro player
for the first time in the modern history of the majors. Jackie Robinson,
batting champion of the International League in 1946 as a second baseman
for Montreal, earned the distinction of being the first Negro regular in
the majors when Brooklyn brought him up a few days before the season
opened and stationed him at first base. His sensational play earned him
the award of Rookie of the Year.

Four other Negroes were signed by major clubs Infielder Larry Doby
by Cleveland, July 5; Infielder Henry Thompson and Outfielder Willard
Brown by the Browns, July 17, and Pitcher Dan Bankhead by the Dodgers,
August 25. Bankhead made history in his debut the next day by hitting a
home run his first time at bat in the majors. Thompson and Brown were
released by the St. Louis club after several weeks' trial.
The Dodgers, thriving under Shotton's inspirational leadership, won
the National League pennant in another close race with the Cardinals,
clinching the pennant September 22 and winning by a margin of five games.
Handicapped by the illness of Stan Musial, who did not regain his bat-
ting form until late in the season, and the failure of Pitcher Howie PoUet
to repeat his 1946 performance, the defending champion Cardinals started
the season in the basement and did not quit the cellar until June 13.
They gradually climbed into pennant contention, but could draw no closer
than three games behind the Dodgers, who took the lead for keeps July 6.
Coming up with two 21-game winners in Warren Spahn and John Sain,
the Braves challenged for part of the season, finishing in third place, eight
games off the pace. The surprise club of the National League race was
the Giants, who combined a 21-victory record of Larry Jansen, a freshman
pitcher, with a devastating attack to take fourth position after a cellar
finish in 1946.
The four other clubs trailed badly. The Reds maintained their 1946
position of fifth place largely through the pitching efforts of Blackwell.
The Cubs, third the previous season, proved a disappointment in 1947 by
falling to sixth, while the Phillies skidded from fifth to a tie for last
place with Pittsburgh. The Pirates, seventh in 1946, failed to improve on
their position despite a large cash outlay for talent, including the ac-
quisition of Hank Greenberg from Detroit, and construction of an en-

closed bullpen commonly referred to as Greenberg Gardens and Kiner's

Korner in left field to benefit their home-run hitters.
Harry (The Hat) Walker produced one of the surprise individual achieve-
ments of the season by winning the National League batting championship.
After batting only .237 in 1946 and .200 in ten games with the 1947 Car-
dinals, Walker was traded with Pitcher Fred Schmidt to the Phillies, May
3, for Outfielder Ron Northey and cash, and proceeded to capture the swat
title with a .363 average.
In the American League, Stanley (Bucky) Harris signalized his return
to the majors as a manager by leading the Yankees to the pennant and
world's championship. Taking over the lead June 19, the Bombers racked
up 19 wins in a row in July for a lead that enabled them to breeze to the
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 89

flag. They finished 12 games ahead of Detroit and 14 in the van of the
1946 pennant-winning Red Sox.
Several of Boston's pitchers, notably Tex Hughson. Mickey Harris and
Dave Ferriss, developed arm trouble and failed to show their form of 1946.
Two Yankee aces also came up with flipper ailments, Spud Chandler mak-
ing only one brief appearance after the All-Star Game and Rookie Frank
Shea also being out several weeks during the second half of the race. How-
ever, the acquisition of Bobo Newsom from Washington in July and the
recall of Vic Raschi from Portland of the Coast league filled the gaps.
With Bob Feller standing out as the circuit's lone 20-game winner,
Cleveland pushed up from its 1946 sixth position to fourth. The Athletics
pulled a surprise by moving up from the basement to fifth place. Wash-
ington fell from fourth to seventh, 33 games off the pace, and the Browns
climaxed a dismal season in the cellar, 38 games in arrears.
While slugging performances were numerous, especially in the National
League, and nine major league home run records were set and eight tied,
there also were three no-hit games and both leagues established records
for fewest errors in their history and new high fielding averages.
Blackwell, sophomore Cincinnati righthander who led the majors with
22 wins, first no-hit game of the season against the Braves,
pitched the
June 18. Don Black
of Cleveland came through with a similar performance
against his former Athletic teammates, July 10, and Bill McCahan of the
A's produced the third hitless effort, September 3, against Washington.
Ted Williams was the individual batting star of the year, leading the
American League in percentage, with .343; in runs-batted-in, 114; home
runs, 32; runs scored, 125; total bases, 335; slugging percentage, .634, and
walks, 162.
Besides the change in ownership on the Yankees, one other club changed
hands after the season closed. Bob Hannegan, resigning as Postmaster
General, headed a syndicate that purchased the Cardinals and their farm
system from Sam Breadon for approximately $4,000,000, the highest amount
ever paid for a big league club. During the season there had been many
rumors of the sale of either or both St. Louis clubs and reports of trans-
ferring one or the other to Los Angeles or Baltimore. The Browns, how-
ever, were not sold, but they disposed of most of their stars during the
winter of 1947-48 for around $500,000 in cash and players.
Fenway Park in Boston, home of the Red Sox, joined the arc-light
parade in 1947, bringing to 12 the number of major league parks equipped

for night games. Detroit completed plans to install lights for the 1948 sea-
son, leaving only Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs, without lights.
Commissioner Chandler was presented with his foremost challenge since
taking office in 1945 a few weeks after the close of the '47 campaign. Gen-
eral Manager Leslie O'Connor of the White Sox, former aide to the late
Commissioner K. M. Landis, challenged Chandler's right to make his own
interpretation of the rule forbidding the signing of high school players
following the Commissioner's voiding of a contract between the Chicago
club and a schoolboy pitcher, George Zoeterman. O'Connor and the White
Sox were suspended for his refusal to pay a $500 fine assessed, and O'Con-
nor threatened legal action. However, O'Connor capitulated six days
later, November 4, and the suspension was lifted on payment of the fine.
Another bid for recognition as a major league was made by the Pa-
cific Coast loop. After being rebuffed at the majors' joint meeting in Chi-
cago, July 5, the Coast sought a special status as a major-minor in the
National Association convention and major league meetings in December.
However, they failed to obtain the necessary three-fourths vote from the
other minors and then were turned down again by the majors. The Pa-
cific Coasters, in their bid for a special classification, sought to have the
draft price placed at $25,000 for their players, with six seasons' experience
— —
instead of the present four required to make a player draft-eligible.
The pension plan for big league players, accepted at a meeting of the
majors in New York, January 31-February 1, went into effect in 1947, as
did the "bonus player" rule. World's Series radio rights were sold by Com-
missioner Chandler for 1949-50-51 for a total of $475,000, with the money tick-
eted for the player pension fund.
During sessions in Chicago preceding the All-Star Game, the National
League re-elected Ford Frick as president for four more years, while the
majors' joint meeting voted the 1948 Dream Game to the St. Louis Browns.
At the annual meetings in New York, December 9-10-11, William Har-
ridge was re-elected president of the American League with a new ten-
year contract. A grant of $50,000 to the American Legion for its diamond
activities in 1948 was voted, while the majors followed the minors in giv-
ing their approval to adoption of a ball of uniform resiliency to be used
beginning with the 1949 season.
George M. Trautman, elected at Los Angeles the previous December,
took over as National Association president in 1947, replacing the retiring
head, W. G. Bramham. In July, Bramham died. The minors, at their an-
nual convention in Miami, December 3-4-5, adopted a streamlined and
recodified agreement and also tightened provisions for bonus players, in-
creased player limits for Class B, C and D clubs and the number of options
allowed clubs above Class D, and made it obligatory for players to affix
affidavits to their contracts as to salary offered to stop cheating on salary
limits and to end a growing practice of side agreements.
The Cuban Professional League, operating during the winter, affiliated
itself with the National Association and, with the blessing of Organized
Ball, opened the 1947-48 season with the use of some 20 players from United
States minor leagues. At the minors' December meeting all limitations

except consent of the club owning the player's contract were r^^moved
against participation of a minor leaguer in winter ball. The majors also
authorized each club to grant permission for winter play in Cuba to two
players with not more than 45 days' experience in the majors. These moves
presaged wider propagation of the game in Cuba, Panama, Puerto Rico,
Venezuela and Mexico and the ending of the threat of jumping contracts
to join leagues in those Latin-American countries.

News selected Branch Rickey, president of the Dodgers, as the No. 1 Execu-

Bob Feller, Indians, and Ralph Branca, Dodgers, pitchers.
Bob Elliott, third baseman of the Braves, was named by the writers
as the most valuable player in the National League, and Joe DiMaggio
in the American. Elliott was the National League choice by a margin of
205 points to 175 for Ewell Blackwell of the Reds; but DiMaggio nosed out
Ted Williams of the Red Sox by only one point, 202 to 201, in the American,
The vote for the most valuable in the National was: Elliott, 205; Black-

TELEVISION ENTERS THE FIELD


With play-by-play broadcasts of both home and road games becoming
almost a universal practice in both the majors and minors, a new develop-
— —
ment of communication television entered the field on a considerable
scale in 1947 and will be greatly extended during 1948. In some major league
cities all of the home games will be televised; in others, arrangements have
been made to show the majority of contests.
For the first time in the history of the majors, the fans back home had
the opportunity of seeing nine of the clubs in Florida in action at their
1948 training bases. A series of nine telecasts was aired twice weekly, pre-
sented by the Philco Corporation in nine cities, including Philadelphia,
St. Louis, New York, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Milwaukee, Albany and
Los Angeles.
Unlike radio, the acceptance of television by the game has been rapid,
the extension dependent only on the number of stations making the service
available. Instead of merely hearing accounts of the games, fans in many
cities now can see the action, as well, at home or in public places.
Television service has been made available in Albany, N. Y.; Camden,
N. J.; Baltimore, Md.; Cleveland and Cincinnati, O.; Chicago, 111.; Detroit,
Mich.; Los Angeles, Calif.; Milwaukee, Wis.; Newark, N. J.; New York, N. Y.;
Philadelphia, Pa.; St. Louis, Mo., and Washington, D. C. Installations were
expected in time to cover the major portion of the 1948 season in Buffalo,
N. Y.; Boston, Mass.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Kansas City, Mo., and Richmond,
Ind.
Every major league club except Pittsburgh made arrangements for the
sale of 1948 television rights to sponsors, ranging from $15,000 to $75,000, and
the New York Giants sold their combined radio and television privileges
and park advertising signs for $400,000 to Liggett & Meyers Tobacco Co.,
makers of Chesterfield cigarettes.

By DAN DANIEL
IN high drama and climaxed with a spectrum of the World's
BORN
Series of 1947 proved the medium of another triumph
thrills,
for the New York
Yankees, their eleventh in classic competition over a period of a quar-
ter century. The spectacular success of the Bombers over their Brook-
lyn neighbors, however, did not follow the old Yankee pattern. It used
to be' quite the thing for the socking stalwarts from the Stadium to run
96 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK
off the World's Series drama in four acts. This time the National League
opposition carried the Yankees into a seventh contest, and in winning the
Yankees gained for Stanley (Bucky) Harris the distinction of rising to a
world's championship in his first season as their manager. Thus Harris
duplicated a feat he had performed as a freshman pilot with Washington
in 1924.
Too much credit cannot be given to the Dodgers, and Burt Shotton,
their one-term manager filling in for the suspended Leo Durocher, for the
spirited struggle they developed, the spectacular feats they recorded, the
never-say-die determination they threw into an arena which sparkled with
pulse-quickening feats, and incredible rallies and counter rallies. For a team
which failed to produce a single route-going pitcher in seven contests,
Brooklyn put up the most remarkable fight in the history of the classic.
As the Series unfolded itself, records having to do with money and
turnstile counts crowded upon each other. The total attendance for the
— — — —
inter-league competition 389,763 and the gate receipts $1,781,348.92 set new
marks. With broadcasting and television revenues coming to $240,000, the
gross take for the classic achieved the amazing figure of $2,021,348.92.
The greatest turnout in the history of the classic saw the Stadium
opener. The count was 73,365, as against the previous mark of 69,990, set
in the 1943 competition betwen the Yankees and the Cardinals. The gate
of $325,828.70 for the 1947 inaugural also created a new record. However,
neither the turnstile nor the money mark was destined to stand for long.
In the sixth battle 74,065 persons paid $327,659.70.
The last contest of the 1947 classic, of course, was a super-production.
Brooklyn took a two-run lead in the second, New York picked up one in
its half, and then gained the edge with two in the fourth. The Dodgers
never got back in the running. Joe Page, who was called on to stop the
Brooklyn attack in the last five rounds, allowed only one hit.
That grand finale was a thriller. But the big drama of the Series was
staged in the fourth contest, which the Dodgers won by 3 to 2 with two
runs with two out in the ninth inning. This was the battle in which Floyd
Bevens, the New York righthander, who had gone into the Series with
prospects none too bright, sprang one of the most spectacular surprises of
World's Series history by holding the Dodgers hitless with 26 batters re-
tired, and the only feat of its kind in classic annals right in his grasp.
It was Pinch-Hitter Cookie Lavagetto who ruined the day for Bevens
by crashing a double off the right field wall. This did not merely break
the no-hit spell. It drove in the two rtms which beat the Yankees, and
deadlocked the Series.
With one out in the hectic ninth, Carl Furillo walked. George McQuinn
grabbed Spider Jorgensen's pop foul for the second out. Pete Reiser came
in to bat for Hugh Casey and Al Gionfriddo ran for Furillo. Before the
Yankees could realize what had happened, Gionfriddo had stolen second.
Here Bucky Harris made a move which will be debated for years. He
violated one of the primary canons of baseball by ordering Bevens to walk
Reiser, the man who represented the winning run. Pistol Pete had been
kept out of the starting lineup by a leg injury, but, as Harris explained
later, the Yankee skipper had not been too impressed with the seriousness
of the handicap. He added that he had given it no thought when Reiser
walked to the plate.
Eddie Miksis ran for Pete, and Lavagetto came in to bat for Eddie Stanky.
Soon Cookie belted the ball off the wall, and the game was over. It was
the second pitch that was the fatal one for Bevens. The winning run had
crossed the plate. The jubilant crowd was making for the exits. But
Umpire Larry Goetz was busy dusting off the plate for a batter who never
showed up. "I never before had experienced so exciting a moment in my
career as an umpire," Goetz explained.
The Series produced one of the most remarkable defensive feats yet

seen in a classic, and Gionfriddo was the heroic achiever. It came in the
sixth game, the one in which a desperate Brooklyn club came up on even
terms with the highly-favored Yankees.
With the Dodgers enjoying an 8 to 5 lead in the sixth inning and a
couple of Yankees on base, Joe DiMaggio made a bid for a home run into
the left field bullpen. However, Gionfriddo, who had come into the game
as a defensive measure, raced to the fence and grabbed the ball just as
it was about to fall in for three runs and a tie score.
Johnny Lindell appeared in the sixth game in spite of a broken rib.
He had suffered this injury sliding in the previous contest, but had kept
the story to himself. Johnny could not play through the No. 6 battle and
had to forego the finale.
Hugh Casey, making six mound appearances in the seven games, was
the big man on the Brooklyn side. On the New York club, the heroes
were Lindell, with a .500 average; Tommy Henrich, with his. 323; Snuffy
Stirnweiss, even though his final rating was no better than .259; Bobby
Brown, who set a World's Series pinch-hitting mark with two doubles, a
single and a walk, and three runs driven in, in four efforts; the twice-vic-
torious Shea, single-winners Reynolds and Page, and the luckless Bevens.
Last, but certainly not least, was Joe DiMaggio. who was a titanic figure
on the Yankee side even though he hit no better than .231.
The classic came very near producing the first play under the light«

in the history of the inter-league championship. The sixth game lasted
three hours and 19 minutes. When it appeared likely that it would not be
finished in daylight. Commissioner Albert B. Chandler issued orders to turn
on the mazdas just as soon as the umpires felt that they were needed. As
it turned out, the game was finished without this help.
There was an important innovation concerning the umpires. Com-
missioner Chandler ruled that it was silly for the two alternate umpires to
sit on the bench. He put them to work, on the foul lines. Thus the 1947
classic was the first in which six umpires officiated.
As the New York club had sold its tickets in blocks of four, for the
first, second, sixth and seventh contests, it was not necessary to have a
24-hour recess before the final battle, for disposal of accommodations for
that game.
The 1947 classic continued to make news even after the last out had
been recorded and the Yankees had won the championship. As the base-
ball writers rushed into the Yankee clubhouse to get the celebration story,
they were met by Col. Larry MacPhail with the announcement that he had
sold out his one-third interest in the New York organization to Dan Topping
and Del Webb, his partners. The following morning, Topping and Webb
announced that Colonel MacPhail no longer was president and general man-
ager. Topping took over the presidency and George Martin Weiss was pro-
moted to director general.

A, L. Increases All-Star Game Supremacy
1947 All-Star Game, staged at Chicago's Wrigley Field on July 8,
THE
resulted in the closest, most dramatic clash in the history of the mid-
summer classic as the American League nosed out the National. 2 to 1.
A capacity crowd of 41,123, producing net receipts of $105,314.90. was on
hand to see the A. L. representatives gain their tenth victory in 14 games
since the competition was inaugurated in 1933. All receipts went into the
players' pension fund.
The National League, entering the battle with a decided edge In extra-
base punch, was able to display its power only once in the fourth inning —
when, with two out, Johnny Mize blasted one of Frank Shea's pitches half
way up in the right field bleachers. Shea, however, was the eventual win-
ning pitcher, the first rookie to gain this distinction in an All-Star Game.
Pinch-hitters played a vital role in the Americans' triumph, although a
wild throw by Pitcher Johnny Sain of the Braves was the big break. Luke
Appling's pinch-blow opening the sixth, coupled with a single by Ted Wil-
liams and a double-play ball, gave the A. L. its first run off Harry Brecheen.
In the seventh, with Sain pitching, Bobby Doerr singled and stole second.
Sain then hit the Red Sox infielder trying to pick him off second, and Doerr
raced to third. He scored a short time later when Pinch-Hitter Stan Spence,
with a count of two and nothing, hit a high, fast pitch to right-center for
a single.

Junior World's Series
CLUBS which finished third during the regular season and then
Two
won their playoffs clashed in the 1947 Junior World's Series. Syra-
cuse, representing the International League for the third time in six
years under Manager Jewel Ens, carried the classic to the full sevdh
games before bowing to Milwaukee's American Association representatives.
The victors were piloted by Nick Cullop, who thus become the first man-
ager to gain the Junior Series title with two different clubs. In 1943, he
led Columbus to a triumph over Syracuse.
Milwaukee's participation in the classic marked only the second ap-
pearance for the Brewers, who also emerged victorious in 1939 under Al
Sothoron. The loss for Syracuse was the Chiefs' third in as many attempts.
Batting star of the Series was a member of the losing Chiefs Albert —
(Dutch) Mele, who hit ,462 and included a double, triple and two homers
among his blows for an amazing .808 slugging average. Milwaukee's lead-
ing clubber was Damon Phillips, with a .435 mark.
Total attendance for the seven games was 64,306, including 36,686 for
four tilts in Milwaukee and 27,620 for three games at Syracuse.

COOPER HIT SAFELY IN 31 STRAIGHT GAMES IN WEST


When the Giants visited the West during 1947. enemy pitchers
New York
found it virtually impossible to get Catcher Walker Cooper out. The hard-
hitting backstop staged a 31-game hitting streak during which he compiled
a .425 mark, collecting 54 hits in 127 trips to the plate. The Cooper spree
included 26 extra-base blows, of which 14 were home runs. In addition,
Cooper chased 43 runners across the plate.
Cooper was net stopped in the West until September 9, when Elwin
(Preacher) Roe of Pittsburgh held the Giant receiver hitless in four tries.
This was during the New Yorkers' second game on their final trip in the
hinterlands.

ANNIVERSARY FOR BRANCH RICKEY


June 1948, will mark the anniversary of Branch Wesley Rickey's
If).
entry into O. B. On that date, in 1903, he caught a game for Torre Haute
of the Central League against Wheeling, having no hits off Peter Fox,
but drawing a pass. His fielding averaged perfectly.
Rickey ioined the Hottentots with four other novices and was the
only one who drew a good press from the scribe who covered the game.
The sports writer said:

"Only one of the newcomers Branch Rickey seems fast enough for —
league company, and it is regretted that he will not continue with the
club, as the management has learned that he had signed with another
club before accepting Terre Haute's terms and he has been released."

BORDAGARAY'S UPS AND DOWNS


Charged with striking andspitting on Umpire Dallas Blackiston in a
game July 14, 1947, Manager Frenchy Bordagaray of the Green-
at Augusta,
ville Sally League club was fined $50 and suspended for 60 days. The sus-
pension kept him out for the remainder of the season and he was suc-
ceeded by John (Pepper) Martin, former St. Louis Cardinal. On the day
Frenchy was suspended, he received notice the house in which his family
was living had been sold and he would have to vacate. Three days later
he was presented with a trophy for having been named the most valuable
player in the Canadian-American League in 1946, when he was player-
manager of Three Rivers.

Dl MAG YANKS' GOOD-LUCK CHARM


An old Yankee custom prevailing throughout Joe DiMaggio's career with
the New York club held good in 1947. With the Yankee Clipper missing from
the opening-day lineup, the Bombers bowed in their seasonal inaugural,
as they had in the four previous openers which DiMaggio missed. Oddly,
the Yankees won each of thg other four opening-day tilts DiMag appeared
in via shutouts.
Physical troubles and holdout sieges were responsible for DiMaggio's
absence from five inaugurals in his first nine seasons with the ciub. Com-
ing up from San Francisco in 1936, DiMag suffered an ankle injury in train-
ing that spring. Diathermy treatments resulted in a foot burn that kept
him out of the first 17 games of the American League season. In 1937 a
tonsillectomy forced him to miss the initial six games, and in 1938 Joe was
a holdout and his absence from the lineup extended through 12 league tilts.
Another mishap tripped Joltin' Joe in 1940, a knee injury sidelining him for
the first 15 games. In 1947 the Yankee Clipper's late start was due to an
operation and subsequent skin-grafting on his left heel. Aided by a special
shoe, he made his debut in the fourth game of the campaign as a pinch-
hitter.
DiMaggio's first opening-day appearance with the Yankees was in 1939,
his fourth year with the club, and the Bombers blanked Boston, 2 to 0.
behind Red Ruffing's chucking. In 1941, Joe chipped in with two hits as
Marius Russo shut out Washington. 3 to 0, and the next season Ruffing
blanked the Senators, 7 to 0, in the opener. DiMag was in the Army in
1943, 1944 and 1945, but returned in time for the 1946 opener as Spud
Chandler shut out the Athletics, 5 to 0.

EXCLUSIVE 50-HOMER CLUB ADDITIONS


Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh and Johnny Mize of the Giants joined an
exclusive major league circle when they rapped 51 homers each in 1947 to
tie for leadership in the National League. The trick of producing 50 round-
trippers in a season had been turned only eight times previously, and by
only four players. Babe Ruth made 54 in 1920, 59 in 1921, 60 in 1927 and 54
m 1928. Jimmy Foxx had 58 in 1932 and 50 in 1938; Hank Greenberg, 58
in 1938, and Hack Wilson, 56 in 1930.

YANKEES EQUAL MARK WITH 19 WINS IN ROW


The New York Yankees equalled a 41-year-old American League record
in 1947 when they reeled off 19 consecutive victories in midseason. The
streak, which enabled the Bombers to build up a big lead and breeze to the
pennant, tied the mark set in 1906 by the Hitless Wonder White Sox. The
Chicagoans' run, however, included a tie game, called after nine innings
to permit the clubs to catch a train, between their eleventh and twelfth wins.
The Yankees' streak, and the game which ended it, follow:

THREE TRIPLE PLAYS FOR SAME HURLER


Three triple plays were pulled off by the Lynn Red Sox during the 1947
New England League season and ironically, the same pitcher — Dave Honan
was in the box each time the Red Sox staged the killings. Honan started
the third three-way erasure himself, July 18, at Lowell, Mass., in the
first game there in many years, following transfer of the Lawrence fran-
chise to that city. With Lowell runners on first and third and nobody out
in the sixth, Honan grabbed a line drive off Edward (Dinny) McNamara's
bat, threw to Ken Chapman at third to double up one runner and then
Chapman pegged to Ralph Atkins at first base to retire the side.

MEDWICK WITH CARDS AFTER 7-YEAR ABSENCE


Outfielder Joe Medwick, back with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1947 after
an absence of seven years, made his return an auspicious one, hammering
out a double as a pinch-hitter off Southpaw Fritz Ostermueller of Pitts-
burgh in the second game of a twin-bill, May 25. The double produced
the only run scored by the Cardinals, who lost, 2 to 1.
Used in the outfield against lefthanders and in pinch-hitting roles.
Ducky Wucky had a .307 mark in 75 games.
Medwick originally came up to the Cardinals from Houston of the Texas
League late in the summer of 1932 and immediately made good. He remained
with the Redbirds until mid-season of 1940, when he was traded to Brooklyn.

FRED CLARKE'S UNIQUE FIELDING RECORD


Fred C. Clarke, former Pittsburgh manager who is retired to Liltle Pirate
Ranch, Winfield, Kan., is probably the only major league outfielder who
had four assists in a game and reached double figures in putouts in
another one.
On August 23, 1910. Clarke had four assists in left field, throwing out two
men at second, one at third and one at the plate. His victims were John
Titus, Kitty Bransfield, Sherwood Magee and Mike Doolan. Clarke raked
in 11 flies in the game with the Cardinals, April 25, 1911.

TRIO JOINS THREE-HOMER CIRCLE


Three National League sluggers accomplished the feat of hitting three
successive home runs in a game during the 1947 campaign. Ralph Kiner,
Pittsburgh outfielder, did it twice, August 16 and September 11 (second
game), while Johnny Mize and Willard Marshall of the Giants performed
the trick on April 24 and July 18, respectively. Kiner's first trio came at
the expense of the Cardinals and the other three against the Braves, each
time in Pittsburgh. Mize rapped his threesome in Boston and Marshall
against Cincinnati at the Polo Grounds.
Mize's performance marked the fifth time the veteran first sacker rode

three out of the park in a game an all-time high. The four other occa-
sions were while a member of the St. Louis Cardinals—on July 13 and 20
(second game), 1938, and May 13 and September 8 (first game), 1940. The
third time was in a 14-inning game.

STEALS NINE BASES IN A DAY


Martin, center fielder of Montgomery, broke the Southeastern
Bill
League record for stolen bases in a day. July 4, 1947, when he swiped four
sacks in a night game at Montgomery after having pilfered five in an after-
noon game at Selma. Bill's nine thefts in consecutive games topped the
major league mark of eight in two contests, set by Walter Wilmot of the
Chicago Cubs, August 6-7, 1894. Martin finished the season with 79 steals
in 131 games for a Southeastern League record.

TRIPLE PLAYS ON SUCCESSIVE DAYS


The Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago White Sox pulled triple plays on
successive days in 1947 —a
rare occurrence but not a record. A pair of tri-
killings have been turned twice in a single day in the major leagues, May
29, 1897, by Brooklyn and the New York Giants, and again on August 30,
1921, by the Boston Braves and Chicago Cubs.
The record for triple plays by one club on successive days is held by
the Detroit Tigers. The Bengals achieved this distinction against the Boston
Red Sox on June 6 and 7, 1908.
When the Pirates turned a triple killing against the Reds on April
26, 1947, it was the firstrecorded in the National League since 1944, when
five were pulled. The next day the White Sox turned one against the
St. Louis Browns.
The record for triple plays in a season is seven. The National League
having registered that number in 1905, 1910 and 1929 and the American
League in 1922 and 1936.

YES, A PINCH RUNNER CAN BAT IN A RUN


Can
a pinch runner bat in a run? Skeeter Webb, Detroit infielder.
received credit for doing so against Cleveland, August 6, 1947. Webb, taking
the paths for Freddy Hutchinson, was brought home by a Tiger rally and
when the club batted around. Pinch Runner Webb took his turn at the plate
and lifted a fly ball that scored another run. The final score was Detroit
13, Cleveland 6.

DOUBLE DEADLOCK IN PUERTO RICAN RACE


Puerto Rico, which will be affiliated with Organized Ball for the 1948-
49 season in an arrangement similar to that enjoyed by Cuba, had the most
exciting campaign in its history during the 1947-48 campaign. Two teams
tied at the end of each half of the split season and the final playoff went
the limit of seven games before it was won by Caguas. Santurce and
Mayaguez tied during the first half and Mayaguez won that playoff, but
then tied with Caguas for the second-half title. Under the rules, if the
winner of the first half wound up tied with another club in the second
half, the other automatically became winner of the second half and played
off with the first-half champion.
A sprinkling of players from the minor leagues of the United States
played in the Puerto Rican League, but a Negro, Willard Brown, who had
a trial with the St. Louis Browns in 1947, walked off with the batting cham-
pionship, hitting .432. Brown also led in home runs, with 27. to surpass
the round-tripper record of Luis Marquez, who made 14 in the previous
season. Brown also was first in RBIs, 86, and in runs scored, 79. Juane
Guilbe, pitcher of the Ponce Lions, was undefeated in five decisions.

GAME FINISHED AFTER FANS LEAVE


Spartanburg and Knoxville completed a Tri-State League night game
at Spartanburg. S. C, July 11, 1947, after all of the fans had left the park.
A prankster switched off the lights in the ninth inning when Pete Milne
apparently singled a runner home with the winning run for Spartanburg.
Manager Dale Alexander of Knoxville protested that the light failure nullified
the hit. but Plate Umpire Eddie Hearn held the tally counted and 2.355
cash customers filed out of the park.
Later, the official scorer was hastily summoned from his residence to
the park, where Umpire Hearn explained that League President C. M.
Llewellyn, in a telephone conversation, had ordered play resumed at the
point before Milne made his hit. with the bases loaded. Milne then
grounded out and Lew Urcho flied out to force the game into an extra
inning. Knoxville then tallied six times in the tenth to win. 13 to 7.

BORDER LOOP PLAYER IN MERKLE PLAY


Don
Phelps, outfielder with Geneva, figured as the goat in a Fred
Merkle play in 1947 that cost his Border League club a game. Like the 1908
Giant victim, Phelps failed to go to second when a teammate singled home
what seemed to be the winning run.
The incident took place in the tenth inning of the first game with Auburn,
August 27, with the sacks loaded and two out. Phelps, instead of advancing
to second on the hit, lingered at first to congratulate his teammate. Manager
Charley Small of Geneva, sensing the situation, picked up the ball as it lay
on the infield, with fans pouring onto the field, and heaved the ball over the
fence. Umpire Steve Malcovich ruled interference and called Phelps out,
nullifying the winning run. After a 15-minute delay, the game was resumed,
and in the eleventh inning. Auburn poured four runs across the plate to win,
9 to 5. Phelps redeemed himself the next night, however, by homering
with the bases loaded in the fifth inning and hit for the circuit again in the
sixth with two on to lead Geneva to an 11 to 8 victory.

WHEN THE RUBE WENT TO COLLEGE


He never had a Phi Beta Kappa key, or even a degree, but George
Edward Waddell was a college pitcher! His "alma mater" was Volante
College, Lawrence county, Pennsylvania. Rube was a college pitcher under
an unusual contract, drawn up by the manager, Thomas H. George, now
residing in Cleveland, Ohio. It all happened in 1897.
George Edward was to pitch at the manager's direction, to receive
free tuition, board and room, his chewing tobacco and $1 per game. —
Waddell did so well at Volante that two neighboring colleges Grove —

City and Westminster declined to play the team Waddell was with on the
grounds of full schedules.
Waddell's catcher at Volante was Jesse Grim, who graduated in medicine,
went to California and died there.
When the college year ended Waddell left Volante, leaving behind a
reputation as a fisherman, as a drum major and as tutor of boys in the
art of pitching.

STOCKTON WINS 26 IN A ROW


Stockton of the California League ran up a string of 26 victories in a
row during the 1947 season before bowing to Bakersfield, July 3, to fall
one short of the Organized Ball record. The original mark of 27 was set
by Corsicana of the Texas League in 1904 and equalled by Baltimore of
the International League in 1921,

EXCITING DAYS FOR RALEIGH FANS


Raleigh of the Carolina League figured in an irbn-man pitching stunt,
a no-hit, no-run game and the feat of three homers in succession by one
batter within the period of four days in 1947. Ray Hardee pitched 18 to
and 7 to 1 victories over Greensboro, August 18; Dave Baxter poled three
successive home runs over Martinsville, August 20, and Al Henencheck
hurled the no-hitter against Greensboro, August 21. Henencheck fanned
ten and allowed only three to reach first base, two on walks and one on an
error.

CHAMBERS NOTCHES 16 WINS IN ROW


Inman Lamar Chambers, righthander Burlington who won 21 and
of
lost six games during the season, set a Carolina League record in 1947
with 16 consecutive victories. Chambers, in racking up his long string of
triumphs, turned back every other club in the circuit. The previous league
record for successive wins was set at 15 in 1946 by Harold Brown of Durham.

PRENDERGAST IN IRON-MAN ROLE


Yielding only six hits in each game, Jim Prendergast. southpaw of
Syracuse, successfully essayed the iron -man role against Rochester in an
International League double-header, July 25, 1947. Prendergast won the
opener, 3 to 2, and came back in the nightcap for a 4 to 3 victory. Jim aided
his own cause in the first game with a triple with the bases loaded.

DRAWS 193 WALKS IN SEASON


Gabriel (Pete) Hughes, slugging outfielder of the Phoenix Arizona-Texas
League club, received 193 walks in L33 games during the 1947 season to sur-
pass by 23 the major league record for free transportation established by
Babe Ruth with 170 in 1923. Minor league records in this department are
incomplete, as many circuits ignored this data until recent years. In addi-
tion to his mark for free tickets, Hughes established an Arizona-Texas
record with 38 home runs.

ORGANIZED BALL IN CUBA


Operating with the official indorsement of Organized Ball and fortified
by two-score players from the minors of the United States, the Cuban Pro-
fessional League had a gross gate of $650,000 and far outstripped the rival
outlaw Liga Nacional in the 1947-48 season. The take was the second
largest in Cuban baseball history, exceeded only in 1946-47 when but one
circuit was in the field.
Mike Gonzalez' Havana Reds won the Cuban Professional League cham-
pionship by the margin of one game over the Almendares Blues in a race
that was close all the way, with the two contenders frequently exchanging
first place. The championship was not decided until the final day of the
season, February 24, when, after Havana lost the first game of a twin-bill
to Cienfuegos, a victory for Almendares over Marianao in the second contest
would have tied the pennant race. Almendares. however, also lost.
Besides Gonzalez, former major league catcher and St. Louis Cardinal
coach, managers in the league were Fermin Guerra, catcher owned by the
Philadelphia Athletics, with Almendares; Vernon Gomez, ex-New York
Yankee pitcher, with Cienfuegos, and Tomas (Pipo) de la Noval, Marianao.
Henry Kimbro from the Baltimore Elite Giants, playing with Havana,
was the leading batter, with a mark of .348, and Conrado Marrero, who
hurls for Havana in the Florida International League, was the top pitcher,
winning 12 and losing only two for Almendares.
Final standings of the Cuban Professional League:
Club Won Lost Pet. .Club Won Lost Pet.
Havana 39 33 .542 Cienfuegos 35 37 .486
Almendares 38 34 .528 Marianao 32 40 .444
Overshadowed by the O. B. -sponsored Cuban Pro League, the Liga
Nacional, made up of native, Mexican and ex-major leaguers banned from
Organized Ball because of playing in the Mexican League, staged a tight
race between the Leones and Cuba teams, with Leones emerging as cham-
pion. One club, Santiago, dropped out early in the campaign because of lack
of support. Roland Gladu, ex-Brooklyn Dodger, won the batting cham-
pionship with an average of .329.

game, one with a mate aboard and the other with the sacks empty, and a
single as Las Vegas won, 30 to 5. The five blows netted him 11 RBIs.

LAS VEGAS SET O. B. HOMER MARK


The Las Vegas club of the Sunset League set an O. B. record with 271
homers in 140 games during the 1947 season. The best previous mark was
made by the 1923 Salt Lake City club of the Pacific Coast League, with 204.
Five Las Vegas players topped the 25 figure in round-trippers, including Cal-
vin Felix, with 52; Olin Kelly and Kenneth Myers, 33 each; Roy Godfrey,
32, and Dominic Castro, 28. A
total of 859 circuit clouts was made by the
six clubs of the league in 418 games.

DEROSE AUTHORS FIRST A. A. PERFECT GAME
Plagued by a sore arm. Carl DeRose, young Kansas Citv righthander
pleaded with Manager Bill Meyer for one more chance and. on" being granted
the opportunity, turned in the first perfect game in American Association
history. June 26, 1947.
DeRose had not appeared on the hill since Mav 31 when he suffered
such arm misery that a complete three-week rest was prescribed However
facing Minneapolis at the Kansas City park in a night game, the sore-armed"
hurler set the Millers down in order for nine innings to notch a perfect
5 to conquest. From the third inning on, DeRose was in excruciating pain,
and after the final out he was unable to lift his pitching arm to accept
teammates' congratulations.
In recognition of the feat. Blues' fans honored the pitcher Julv 4, when
he was presented with more than $2,000 in gifts and cash. DeRose was able
to make only two other mound appearances the remainder of the season
because of the flipper ailment.

TWO PINCH GRAND-SLAMS FOR SAME MATE


Pinch-hitters for Ora (Mickey) Burnett, infielder of the Oakland Pacific
Coast League club, performed the unusual feat of making grand-slam homers
twice within six days in 1947. Glenn Crawford turned the trick against San
Francisco, August 15, and Will Hafey against Los Angeles, August 20. Both
blows sparked rallies that brought victories to the Oaks.

KASH WINS FIVE IRON-MAN STINTS


Michael Kash, vetteran southpaw of more than a dozen seasons in the
minor leagues, equalled an all-time record in 1947. when he successfully
essayed the iron-man role five times during" the Colonial League season. The
feat previously was performed in 1908 by Louis (Bull) Durham of the Indian-
apolis American Association club.
Pitching for the pennant-winning Waterbury Timers, Kash achieved each

GIANTS SMASH HOMER RECORDS WITH 221


The New York Giants shattered virtually all team home run records
during the 1947 season while blasting a total of 221. Paced by Johnny Mize,
who hit 51, the Giants eclipsed by 39 the previous major league record set
by the 1936 Yankees.
Besides a new seasonal high, the Giants established numerous marks for
circuit clouts in successive games. In addition to Mize, two others went over

the 30 figure in four-baggers Willard Marshall, 36, and Walker Cooper, 35.
A fourth, Bobby Thomson, had 29.
Ninety of the club's 221 round-trippers were made on the road, 131 at
the Polo Grounds. Pittsburgh pitchers yielded the most homers, 41, while
Ralph Branca of the Dodgers was the Giants' particular pet, being nicked
for ten circuit smashes.
The Giants' 1947 individual homer record by parks follows:

ONCE A BOY SCOUT, ALWAYS A BOY SCOUT


Pee Wee Reese's Boy Scout training came back to haunt him during a
game against the Chicago Cubs in 1947. The Dodger shortstop was on
first base with one out when Dixie Walker missed a third strike, the bat
flying out of his hands and landing near Pee Wee's feet. Reese obhgingly
bent over to pick up the bat, but when he straightened up, he ?aw First
Baseman Ed Waitkus alongside him with the ball. While Reese was doing
his good deed. Catcher Clyde McCullough had whipped the ball down to
first to pick Pee Wee off the bag.

TWO OPENING-DAY NO-HITTERS


Two
pitchers hurled no-hitters on the opening day of their 1947 minor
league seasons. They were 19-year-old Robert Brakes of Milford of the
Eastern Shore League and Jim 'Morris of Miami of the Kansas-Oklahoma-
Missouri League.
Brake walked six and hit two batsmen but fanned 14 in ringing up
an 8 to win over Dover. Morris whiffed ten and walked only five in notch-
ing a 12 to victory at the expense of Carthage.

JULY 4 LEADERS COP FLAGS


The old saw that the teams which lead the major leagues on July 4 will
win the pennants held true in both circuits in 1947. In the American
League, the Yankees held a seven and one-half game edge over second-place
Detroit after the Independence Day twin-bills, while Brooklyn was in the
van by one game over the Braves.
Over the past 15 years, however, the leader as of the Fourth of July has
finished on top only 60 per cent of the time. Just six of the National's July
4 pace-setters have copped the flag, while in the American the leader at the
halfway milestone has nailed down the title in 12 of the last 15 races.
Following is the list of July 4 leaders, with the number of games in
front, and the eventual champion, with position at the time shown in
parenthesis:

GERKIN WORKHORSE AMONG PITCHERS


All known
records for pitching appearances were shattered in 1947 by
Steve Gerkin, veteran righthander with Minneapolis. Gerkin worked in
83 official American Association games during the regular season, topping
the previously recognized high of 75, set by Will White of the Cincinnati
Reds in 1879. In addition, Gerkin was in three games that were rained out
of the records and four post-season playoff games. Following the American
Association season, Gerkin, voted the circuit's most valuable player, went
to Cuba to participate in the Cuban Professional League's winter season.
This, added to ten appearances in 1947 spring training games, boosted his
pitching record to more than 100 games for the year.

from Owner Tom Yawkey, an outboard motor from his teammates, a
Chevrolet truck and numerous other gifts from the fans and a deed to 12
lots on the shoreline of Los Angeles from his parents. Mrs. Doerr was pre-
sented wath a 82.500 mink stole and their 4-year-old son. Donnie, with
numerous toys.

League club, played the role of both batting and pitching hero in the
longest game in Florida State League history, July 19. 1947. Blanking DeLand

CERVECERIA COPS CARACAS WINTER FLAG


Cerveceria Caracas, a team made up entirely of Venezuelans, won the
1948 championship of the Caracas Winter League in Venezuela, finishing two
games ahead of the Vargus club, managed by Roy Campanella, Negro catcher
owned by the Brooklyn Dodgers. Magallenes finished in third place and
Venezuela was fourth. It was the first time an all- Venezuelan team ever
captured the pennant.
The race between Cerveceria and Vargus was close throughout most
of the season and the two were tied for first place as late as a week before
the end of the campaign. The league planned to become affiliated with
Organized Ball for the 1948-49 winter season, when at least 15 players from
the minors of the United States will be given places on the teams.

RHUBARB OF THE YEAR — DODGERS VS. CARDS


One of the 1947 season's clioices-t rhubarbs developed in the Cardinal-
Dodger game of July 20. when Beans Heardon, veteran National League
umpire, signalled that Ron Northey's long hit had gone into the stands for
a home run, and the Card outfielder slowed down to a jog on his trip around
the bases. Northey's consternation on arriving at the plate to find Catcher
Bruce Edwards, ball in liand, waiting to put a tag on him. must have
been a prize double take, but it was nothing to the double talk which
ensued when Card Manager Eddie Dyer sought an explanation. The eventual
protest by St. Louis was upheld by League President Ford Frick. who
ordered a replay of the contest, in which the Dodgers were returned 3 to
2 winners thanks to a ninth -inning rally.

NABORS LOST 20 IN ROW, NOT 19


A
recurring error in some record books lists Pitcher John Nabors of the
1916 Athletics as losing 19 games in a row. when as a matter of fact he lost
20 straight. He failed to taste the fruits of victory after April 22. when he
defeated George Foster of the Red So.x. 6 to 2, for his one triumph of the
year. He began the season by dropping a 4 to 2 decision to Bob Shawkey
of the Yanks.
Following his win over Boston, Nabors staggered into 20 straight losses.
A number of them could be charged to a lack of runs behind him. In
five games, the Mackmen failed to score, and in seven Nabors lost by a one-
run margin. All told, the A's made 37 markers for Nabors during his 20
successive reverses.

BABE RUTH DAY OBSERVED
In recognition of tiie place Babe Ruth holds in the hearts of America's
baseball fans. Commissioner Albert B. Chandler set aside April 27, 1947, for
the general observance of a "Babe Ruth Day." More than 58.000 attended
ceremonies at Yankee Stadium while millions in ball parks throughout the
nation heard the country-wide radio broadcast on loud speakers. The Babe,
appearing in public after a prolonged illness, received a tumultuous recep-
tion. Speakers paying homage to the man who hit 714 homers during his
baseball career included Cardinal Spellman, Commissioner Chandler, Ford
Frick and Will Harridge. The only other instance of a national day given
to an individual in the pastime was one held for Harry Wright, father of
professional baseball, on April 13, 1896.

CRISTOBAL AND CERVECERIA PANAMA CHAMPIONS


The Cristobal team won the 1947-48 Panama Canal Zone League cham-
pionship by defeating the Diablo Heights Royals, who had tied for first place
during the regular season, three games out of four in the playoff. The
Cerveceria Brewers captured the Panama Professional League pennant.
Colon finished third and Balboa fourth in the Canal Zone loop and the
C. P. R. Radiomen were third and Carta Vieja fourth in the other circuit.
Belfield Harris won the Panama Professional League batting champion-
ship with a mark of .355, and Steve Bilko, first baseman owned by the St
Louis Cardinal chain, was first in the Canal Zone with .381 while playing for
Colon.

The Ball Ground.


RULE The ground must be enclosed. To obviate the neces-
ball

J ground rules, the shortest distance from a fence


sity for
or stand on fair territory to the home base should be
250 feet and from home base to the grand stand sixty (60) feet.
Enclosure applies to professional leagues, but many leagues have elimi-
nated the ground rule where the stands are less than 60 feet distant and
rule ball in play.

To Lay Off the Field.


RULE '^o ^^y off t^^ lines defining the location of the several
2 bases, the catcher's and the pitcher's position and to
establish the boundaries required in playing the game
of base ball, proceed as follows:
In laying out the diamond care should be taken to have It set In such
position that the least possible amount of the sun s rays will shine directly
In the eyes of the players and spectators. Having: the back point of the
plate set to point due West-South-West, and the diamond laid out at that
angle will obtain the best results. Seats and stands should be arranged to
make the most of such arrangement. The seats should be placed so that
the extended foul lines will form equal spaces on each side of the diamond
from the foul lines to the fence or stands. If possible.

Diamond or Infield.
Prom a point, A, within the grounds, project a point, B, 124
feet from point A, lay off lines B C and B D at right angles to the
568 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 2 —Continued
line A B; then, with B as a center and 63.63945 feet as a radius,
describe arcs cutting the lines B A
at F and B C at G, B D at H
and B E at I. Draw H, and H F, each 90 feet in
lines F G, G I, I

length, which said lines shall be the containing lines of the Diamond
or Infield.

In laying out a baseball field, proceed as follows:


With a steel tape-measure lay out the base lines and place the home
plate and the pitcher's box as shown in the diagram on Page 566. If it is
possible to do so, have home plate point due West-South-West,
Remove the sod from the base lines between the home plate and first
and third bases; also from first base to second base and from second base
to third base. The sod may be removed from around the pitcher's plate.
Fill in the base lines and the ground around the pitcher's plate if the sod
is removed.
Mark lines of batsman's box, on each side of home plate, with white-
wash, chalk or similar substance. Also foul line, 3 inches wide, from home
plate to first base and from home plate to third base, continuing out into
the field beyond first and third bases.
Distance from home base
to first base, 90 feet; from first base to second
base, 90 feet; from second base to third base, 90 feet, and from third base
to home plate, 90 feet. Total distance around the bases, 360 feet.
Distance from point of home plate to pitcher's slab, 60 feet, 6 inches.
Distance is measured from point of home plate, where the base lines inter-
sect, and not from the front part of the plate.
Distance across diamond, from home plate to second base, 127 feet 3%
inches; from first base, across diamond, to third base, the same.
Where space is limited, the official rules specify that the shortest dis-
tance from home plate to a fence or stand in fair territory should be 250
feet and from home plate to grandstand, 60 feet.

OFFICIAL DIMENSIONS OP DIAMONDS FOR BOYS UNDER


SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE.
Distances between bases, 82 feet; home plate to second base, 115 feet
inches; same distance across diamond
11 V2 from first base to third base;
home plate to pitcher's plate, 50 feet.

The Catcher^s Lines.


RULE Section 1. With F as a center and 10 feet radius, de-
3 scribe an arc cutting line F A at Z and draw lines Z J
and Z K at right angles to F A, and continue each out
from F A not less than 10 feet.

Sec. With F as a center and 60 feet radius, describe an arc


2.

cutting at L and draw lines L M and L O at right angles to


F A
F A, and continue each out from F L not less than 60 feet, to form
the back stop line.
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 569

The Foul Lines.


RULE From the intersection point, F, continue the straight hnes
4 G F and H F until they intersect the lines L O and L M,
and then from the points G and H in the opposite direc-
tion until they reach the boundary lines of the ground and not less
than 10 feet above the top of fence or stand; and said lines, not less
than 3 inches wide, shall be made, on the playing field, of lime,
whiting, chalk or other powder or paint.

The Player's Lines.


RULE With F as center and 50 feet radius, describe arcs cutting
5 lines F O and F M at P and Q; then, with F as center
F G and
again and 75 feet radius, describe arcs cutting
F H at R and from the points P Q, R and S draw lines at
S; then,
right angles to the lines F O, F M, F G and F H, and continue the
same until they intersect at the points and T. W

The Coachers' Lines.


RULE R
and S as centers and 15 feet radius, describe arcs
With
Q cutting the lines R W
and S T at X and Y, and from the
points X and Y draw lines parallel with the lines F G and
F H and continue same out 15 feet to an extension of lines I G and
I H, respectively.

Coachers are obliged to stay within the confines of the coacher's box.
which as will be noted on the diagram (Page 566) does not permit them to
go nearer than 15 feet to the base lines.
Coachers may not go beyond an extension of the base lines running be-
tween first and second bases and between second and third bases. This
keeps them completely out of outfield territory. Not more than two coachers

may be on the field at the same time one in each coacher's box.

The Three-Foot Lines.


RULE feet radius, describe an arc
With F as a center and 45
cutting the line F G at the figure one (1) and from the
7
figure one (1) to the distance of three feet draw a line
at right angles to F G, and mark point 2; then from point 2 draw
a line parallel with the line F G to a point three feet beyond the
point G, marked 3; then from the point 3 draw a line at right angles
to line 2, 3, back to and intersecting with F G.
570 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

The Batsman's Lines.


RULE On either side of the line A F B describe a rectangle
S and 4 feet wide (marked 9 and 10, respec-
6 feet long
tively). The longest side of each rectangle shall be
parallel with the line A F B and the rectangles shall be 29 inches
apart or 14 1/^ inches on either side of line A F B. The middle of the
long side of each rectangle shall be on a line with the middle corners
of home plate.

See enlarged section on diagram of field (Page 566), showing position of


home plate and batsman's box.
If it is not possible to outline a "box" it should be remembered that the
batter is never allowed to step over home plate to strike at the ball, and
that he must not run forward toward the pitcher, to exceed three feet from
the center of the plate, to strike at the ball.

The Pitcher's Plate.


RULE Section l. From point F measure along line F E a
9 distance of 60 feet 6 inches to point 4, which marks
the front of the pitcher's plate. Draw a line 5, 6, passing
through point 4 at right angles to F4, and extending 12 inches on
either side of line F B; then with line 5, 6, as a side, describe a
rectangle 24 inches by 6 inches in which shall be placed the pitcher's
plate.

Sec. 2. The pitcher's plate shall not be more


than 15 inches
higher than the base lines or the home plate, which shall be level
with the surface of the field, and the slope from the pitcher's plate
to every base line and the home plate shall be gradual.

The Bases.
RULE Section l. Within the angle F, describe a five-sided
10 figure, two of the sides of which shall coincide with the
lines F G and F H to the extent of 12 inches each, thence
parallel with the line FB S^o inches to the points U and V a straight
line between which, 17 inches long, will form the front of the home
base or plate.
Sec. 2. G and
Within the angles at H
describe squares, whose
side are 15 inches in length, two of the sides of which squares
shall lie along the lines F G and G I. I H and F, which squares H
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 571

RULE 10 —Continued
shall be the location of the first and third bases, respectively.
At point the intersection of G I and
I, H
I, describe a square 15

inches on each side, the center of which is directly over point I and
whose sides are parallel to G I and I. H
This shall locate second base.

Home Base and Pitcher's Plate Must Be of Rubber.

RULE The home base at F and the pitcher's plate at 4 must be


1\ each of whitened rubber, and so fixed in the ground as
to be even with its surface. The size of the pitcher's
plate shall be 24 inches by 6 inches.

See enlarged section on diagram of field (Page 566), showing position of


home plate.
Particular care should be taken to have the edges of the home plate
EVEN wi;h the surface to prevent a runner sliding into the plate from in-
juring his legs, particularly his ankles. The edges of the plate are beveled
and the proper joining of the ground and the plate will positively help
prevent accidents of this kind.

Bases of White Canvas.

RULE first base at G, the second base at I and the third


The
12 base at H must each be a white canvas bag, 15 inches
square and not less than 3 nor more than 5 inches in
thickness, filled with soft material and securely fastened in place at
the points specified in Rule 10.

The bases, except home plate, are best constructed of canvas bags filled
with sawdust. Home plate should be of whitened rubber, whenever it Is
possible to obtain it. Some cruder substance may be used for bases if noth-
ing else is obtainable, but it is best to follow the suggestions given. First,
second and third bases should be attached to pegs driven in the ground, and
home plate should be sunk so that its upper surface is on a level with the
surface of the ground. Bases must not be less than 3 nor more than 5
inches thick.

White Lines to Designate Playing Field.

RULE The dscribed in Rules 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 must


li"6s
13 be marked with lime, chalk or other white material,
easily distinguishable from the ground or grass.
Rules 2 Inclusive, describe mathematically how to lay out a dia-
to 13,
mond for professional
contests. For schoolboys, the National Jomt Rules
Committee recommends a smaller size diamond. Semi-professional and inde-
pendent games are played on diamonds of the regulation size.
A about five feet in diameter should be marked off about half
circle of
way between the plate and the stand and to the outer side of the extended
foul lines to be occupied by the next batter. He. however, should be ready
on the bench to promptiv take his place at bat and not delay the game.
572 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

The Ball.
RULiE Section l. The ball must weigh not less than 5 nor
14 more than 5i/4 ounces avoirdupois, and measure not
less than 9 nor more than 9^/4 inches in circumference.
The Spalding National League Ball is used in the National League
and the Reach American League Ball is used in the American League.
Sec. 2. The president of the league of which the contesting
clubs are members shall specify the number of base balls which
the home club must deliver to the umpire prior to the hour set
for the commencement of a championship game, and all of such
base balls shall be of the regulation make adopted by the said
league. If the ball placed in play be batted or thrown out of the
grounds or into one of the stands for spectators, or in the judgment
of the umpire becomes unfit for play from any cause, the umpire
shall at once deliver an alternate ball to the pitcher and another
legal ball shall be supplied to him, so that he shall at all times have
in his control one or more alternate balls. Provided, however, that
all balls batted or thrown out of the ground or into a stand shall
when returned to the field be given into the custody of the umpire
immediately and become alternate balls, and so long as he has in
his possession two or more alternate balls he shall not call for a
new ball to replace one that has gone out of play. The alternate
balls shall become the ball in play in the order in which they were
delivered to the umpire.
The best judgment should be used in throwing out balls during a game
as being unfit. Balls are a very expensive item for the smaller leagues.
The courtesy of exchanging a ball for a pktcher doesn't mean that the ball
the pitcher wanted to be changed should be thrown out as it is oftentimes
the mental condition the pitcher is in that makes him desire to have the ball
changed.
Sec. 3. Immediately upon the delivery to him of an alternate

ball by the umpire, the pitcher shall take his position and on the
call of "Play," by the umpire, it shall become the ball in play.
Provided, however, that play shall not be resumed with an alter-
nate ball when a fair batted ball or ball thrown by a fielder goes
out of the ground or into a stand for spectators until the base-
runners have completed the circuit of the bases unless compelled to
stop at second or third base in compliance with a ground rule.

Discolored or Damaged Balls.


Sec. 4. In event of the ball being intentionally discolored by
any player, either by rubbing it with the soil, or by applying rosin,
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 573

RULE 14 —Continned
paraffin, licorice, or any other foreign substance to it, or otherwise
intentionally damaging or roughening the same with sand-paper or
emery-paper or other substance, the umpire shall forthwith demand
the return of that ball, and substitute for it another legal ball, and
the offending player shall be debarred from further participation in
the game. If, however, the umpire cannot detect the violator of this
rule, and the ball is delivered to the bat by the pitcher, then the latter
shall be removed at once from the game, and as an additional penalty
shall be automatically suspended for a period of ten days. See Rule
27, Section 2.
Rosin or soil is allowed to aid the pitcher in controlling the ball, but not
for the purpose of discoloring same.

Home Club to Provide Balls.


Sec. 5. In every game the balls played with shall be furnished
by the home club (as provided in Sec. 2, Rule 14), and the last in play
shall become the property of the winning club. Each ball shall be
enclosed in a paper box, which must be sealed with the seal of the
president of the league and bear his certificate that the ball contained
therein is of the required standard in all respects. The seal shall not
be broken by the umpire except prior to game time, and for the pur-
pose of inspecting the ball and removing the gloss therefrom.
If, in the judgment of any league president, it shall be advisable to

use balls that have been used but which are in good condition, such
balls must be delivered by the home club to the umpire prior to the
game. If, in the judgment of the umpire, any such balls are unfit
they shall be rejected. No ball shall be legal that has not been
accepted by the umpire as in good condition.
Reserve Balls on Field.
Sec. 6. The home club shall have at least a dozen regulation
balls on the during each championship game, ready for use on
field
the call of the umpire.
The president of the league shall determine the number of baseballs
which the home club must deliver to the umpire. This is far more to the
purpose than the old method by which the home club was presumed to give
two baseballs of regulation make to the umpire. The umpire in major league
games has at his command all of the baseballs necessary to continue the
game, no matter what total. In amateur baseball it is still customary to
give the umpire two new baseballs.
As will be noted. Section 4 of this rule is Ironclad in its punishment
for discoloring or damaging the ball.
Section 5 of Rule 14 is self-explanatory. The umpire breaks the seal
of the box containing the baseballs prior to the game for the purpose of
Inspecting the ball and removing the gloss from its surface.
The home club should send to the umpires' dressing room before game
574 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 14 —Continaed
time the regulation number of new balls as required by that particular
league's rules to have the gloss removed and time enough allowed so that
the umpires will not be hurried about dressing, etc. The balls should be
discolored as little as possible in removing the gloss.
It is customary for the home team to provide baseballs in amateur
games as well as in professional games. The umpire has the custody of the
ball when it is not in play, but at the completion of the game the last ball
In play goes to the winning team.

The Bat.
RUIjE The bat must be round, not over two and three-fourths
15 inches in diameter at the thickest part, nor more than 42
inches in length, and entirely of hardwood in one piece.
Twine may be wound around it or a granulated substance applied to
it for a distance of 18 inches from the end of the handle, but not

elsewhere.
Note that the bat must be one piece and entirely of hardwood. A bat
loaded with a metal filling is not legal.
Young players should be instructed how to properly hold the bat while
batting. "Trade Mark Up" is the "proper manner" and if followed you
would not so often break or crack your favorite bat. This is one of the
principal reasons that the bat is so marked.

Number of Players in a Game.


RULE The players of each team actively engaged in a game at
16 one time shall be nine in number, one of whom may act
as captain. In no case shall more or less than nine men
on each team be allowed to play at one time as regular players, sub-
stitutes to become regulars, and regulars to be eliminated when so
specified to the umpire by captains or managers.
This rule always Is to be observed.

Substitutes.
RULE Section 1. Each club shall be required to have present
17 on the field during a championship game a sufficient
number of substitute players in uniform conforming to
the suits worn by their team-mates, to carry out the provisions of
this code, which requires that not less than nine (9) players shall
occupy the field in any inning of the game.
Sec. 2. Any
such substitute at any stage of the game, except
when the ball is in play, may take the place of a player whose name
is in his team's batting order, but the player whom he succeeds shall
not thereafter participate in that game.
Sec. 3. A base-runner shall not have another player whose
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 575

RULE 17 —Continued
name appears in the batting order of his team run for him except by
the consent of the manager or captain of the other team.

Sec. 4.In event of the pitcher being taken from his pitching
position by either manager or captain, the player substituted for him
shall continue to pitch until the batsman then at bat has either been
put out or has reached first base, or the side has been retired. The
only exception to this rule shall be when the pitcher substituted sus-
tains some disability which, in the judgment of the umpire-in-chief,
incapacitates him from pitching.

Sec. 5. When the umpire announces the pitcher prior to com-


mencement of game, the player announced must pitch until the first
batsman has either been put out or has reached first base. The only
exception to this rule shall be when the pitcher sustains some dis-
ability which, in the judgment of the umpire-in-chief, incapacitates
him from pitching.
Sec. 6. Whenever one player is substituted for another, whether
as batsman, base-runner, or fielder, the manager or captain of the
team making the change must immediately notify the umpire. The
manager or captain shall state where the substitute shall take his
place in the batting order, A $25 shall be assessed by the
fine of
umpire against the manager or captain for each violation of the rule,
and the president of the league shall impose a similar fine against the
umpire, who, after having been notified of a change, fails to have
proper announcement made to the spectators. Provided, however,
that if through oversight, such announcement is not made, the sub-
stitute player will be considered as in the game, as follows:
(1) If a pitcher, when he takes his place on the pitcher's
plate;

(2) If a batter, when he takes his place in the batsman's


box;
(3) If a fielder, when he takes the place of the fielder
substituted
for;
(4) If a runner, when he takes the place of the runner substituted
for; and any play made by or on such unannounced substitute shall
be
legal under these rules.
It is possible to substitute a fielder for the pitcher and place the
pitcher
in the fielder's position, or in some other position, and later return the
pitcher to his position if the captain of the team so desires, provided the
pitcher remains in the game. If the captain of the team in the field agrees
to permit another player to run for the batter, after the latter has reached
first base, and agrees to permit the batter to play as a fielder when the
team
at bat returns to the field, there is no objection.
If the substitute takes the proper position assigned to him, any play
which he makes Is legal. In spite of the fact that the umpire may not have
576 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 17 —Continued
been notified and may not have made announcement of the substitution.
Neglect by a captain is not allowed to affect actual field work.
Penalties which are provided in fines apply solely to professional base-
ball.

Positions of the Players.


RULE Section 1. The players of the team not at bat may be
18 stationed at any points of the field on fair ground their
captain may elect, regardless of their respective positions,
except that the pitcher, while in the act of delivering the ball to the
bat, must take his position as defined in Rules 9 and 27.
Sec. 2. No player of the team "at bat," except the batsman,
shall occupy any portion of the space within the catcher's lines as
defined in Rule 3. The triangular space back of the home base is
reserved for exclusive use' of the umpire, catcher and batsman, and
the umpire must prohibit any player of the team "at bat" from
crossing the same at any time while the ball is in the hands of the
pitcher or catcher, or passing between them while standing in their
positions.
Sec. 3. The players or coachers of the team at bat must imme-
diately vacate any space occupied by them if it is needed by a
fielder attempting to handle a batted or thrown ball.
Two teams make up each contest, with nine players on each. The fielders
are known as the pitcher, catcher, the first baseman, the second baseman,
the third baseman, the shortstop, the left fielder, the center fielder and
the right fielder. None of these is required to occupy an exact position
on the field, except the pitcher, who must stand with one foot touching the
pitcher's rubber when in the act of delivering the ball to the batter.
Players are cautioned against the habit of infringing upon the space
within the catcher's lines and batsmen against leaving the bench before it
is their turn to do so. Games expedited by being played with alertness and
energy are desirable, but the rules should not be violated for speed. More-
over, too much speed makes it appear at times as if the player cared little
for the game. This refers more to the professTbnal than to the amateur
player.
Players and coachers must make room for fielders trying for all fielding
plays.

Must Not Mingle With Spectators.


RULE Players in uniform shall not be permitted to occupy seats
19 in the stands, nor to mingle with the spectators. No
Manager, Captain, Coach or Player shall address the spec-
tators during a game except in reply to a request for information
about the progress or state of the game, or to give the name of a
player.
In American League when players approach stands to converse with
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 577

RULE 19 —Continued
spectators, umpires report to league headquarters the name of any player
violating this rule and a fine of $5.00 is imposed. If the offense is repeated
the fine is doubled. National League permits talking to spectators, but not
fraternizing with opposing players.

Uniforms of Players.
RULE Every club shall adopt two uniforms for its players, one
20 to be worn in games at home and the other in games
abroad, and the suits of each of the uniforms of a team
shall conform in color and style. No player who shall attach any-
thing to the sole or heel of his shoe other than the ordinary base ball
shoe plate, or who shall appear in a uniform not conforming to the
suits of the other members of his team, shall be permitted to take
part in a game. Glass buttons or polished metal must not be used
on a uniform.
In professional leagues the home uniform is usually white and the
traveling uniform of gray or some darker color.
No exception is to be made regarding attaching a foreign substance to
the shoe.
Note restrictions about glass buttons and polished metal on uniforms.

Size and Weiglit of Gloves.


RULE The catcher may wear a leather glove or mitt of any size,

21 shape or weight.
The baseman may wear a leather glove or mitt not
first
more than 12 inches long from top to bottom and not more than 8
inches wide across the palm, with thumb and palm connected by
leather lacing of not more than 4 inches from thumb to palm, which
lacing shall not be enlarged, extended or reinforced by any process
or material whatever.
Every other player is restricted to the use of a leather glove weigh-
ing not over 10 ounces and measuring not over 14 inches around the
palm. The pitcher's glove must be uniform in color.
It is Imperative that the pitcher's glove be uniform in color, in order
to prevent a distracting confusion of colors as the pitcher delivers the ball.

Players' Benches.
RULE Section l. Players' benches must be furnished by the
22 home club and placed upon a portion of the ground not
than twenty-five (25) feet outside of the players'
less
lines. One such bench shall be for the exclusive use of the visiting
578 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE Z2 —Continued
team and the other for the exclusive use of the home team. Each
bench must be covered with a roof and closed at the back and each
end; a space, however, not more than six (6). inches wide may be left
under the roof for ventilation. All players and substitutes of the
team at bat must be seated on their bench, and remain there until
their team has been retired, except the batsman, base-runners and
such others as are legally assigned to coach base-runners. Under no
circumstances shall the umpire permit any person except the players
and substitutes in uniform, coaches in uniform, trainer, and the man-
ager of the team entitled to its exclusive use to be seated on a bench.
Player next at bat should be in batting circle with bat.
Players next at bat should be the only ones allowed to occupy the circle
for the next batter to stand while awaiting his turn to bat. Bat boys and
other ground attachees should remain in the background as far as possible
and are not to touch the ball at any time while it is in play and should be
so instructed and ordered by both the managers and umpires. This has
caused serious trouble by not being followed.
In the smaller leagues there is at times a lack of space to take care
of all the players on the bench, in which case they should sit as close to
the bench as possible and in line with the bench and the last man so seated
to be the boundary line of the bench.

Penalty for Violation.


Sec. 2. Whenever the umpire observes a violation of the pre-
ceding section, he shall immediately order such player or players as
have disregarded it to be seated. If the order be not obeyed within
one minute the offending player or players shall be fined $5.00 each
by the umpire. If the order be not then obeyed within one minute,
the offending player or players shall be debarred from further par-
ticipation in the game, and shall be obliged to leave the playing field
forthwith.
All ball grounds should be provided with two players' benches back of
the base lines, one on each side of the home plate. They must be not less
than twenty-five feet outside of the coachers' lines. Each team should
occupy one of the benches exclusively, and their bats and accoutrements
should be kept near the bench, and the players should remain on the
benches.
Money penalties provided for in Sec. 2 apply to professionals.

A Regulation Game.
RULE Section l. It is a regulation game if the team second
23 ^t bat scores more runs in eight (8) ^innings than the
team first at bat has scored in nine (9) innings.
Sec. 2o It is a regulation game if the team last at bat in the
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 579

RULE 23 —Continued
ninth inning scores the winning run before the third man is out. If
a batsman in the last half of the final inning of any game hits a home
run over the fence or into a stand, all runners on bases at the time,
as well as the batsman, shall be entitled to score, but to score legally
all bases must be touched in order by all runners. The final score of
such game shall be the total number of runs made by each team.
Sec. 3. It is game if it be called by the umpire
a regulation
on account of darkness, rain, or other cause which in the umpire's
judgment interferes with further play, provided five or more equal
innings have been played; or if the team second at bat shall have
made more runs at the end of its fourth inning, or before the com-
pletion of its fifth inning, than the team first at bat has made in five
completed innings.
Sec. 4. If the score be a tie at the end of nine (9) innings foi
each team, play shall be continued until one team has scored more
runs than the other in an equal number of innings; provided, that if
the team last at bat scores the winning run before the third man is
out in any inning after the ninth, the game shall terminate and be a
regulation game.
Sec. 5. A
regulation drawn game shall be declared by the umpire
ifthe score is equal on the last even innings played, when he termi-
nates play in accordance with Section 3 of this rule after each team
has played five (5) or more equal innings. If the team that went
second to bat is at bat when the game is terminated, and has scored
in the incompleted inning the same number of runs as the other team,
the umpire shall declare the game drawn without regard to the score
of the last equal inning. If the team last at bat shall, before the
completion of inning, equal the score made by the opposing
its fifth
team complete innings, the game shall be declared legally
in five (5)
drawn, and all individual and team averages shall be incorporated in
the official playing records.
Sec. 6. game if at any time after five
It shall be a regulation
(5) innings have been completed, the umpire shall call it in accord-
ance with Section 3 of this rule, and the score shall be that of the last
equal innings played; except that if the team second at bat shall have
scored in an unequal number of innings more runs than the team first
at bat, or if the team second at bat is at bat when the game is called,
and has scored in the incompleted inning the same number of runs.

afternoon, the first game shall be the regularly appointed game for
that day. games are scheduled for morning and afternoon, and it
If
is agreed to play both games in the afternoon, the first game shall be

that which was originally scheduled to be played in the afternoon. No


club or clubs shall engage in more than two championship games
within a period of one day.
If the first game of a double-header is started and called off, the second
game must also be called off.
No matter how long the first game of a double-header lasts the second
game must be started and play continued as long as conditions so warrant.
If the first game is started it must be completed before the second game
can be started.
Sec. 8. No inning of any night game shall be started after
12:50 a. m. War Time. The foregoing sections of this rule shall be
subject to this provision.
No night game can be started after 12:50 a. m. War Time, but if an
Inning has been started before that time it must be finished.

Forfeited Games.
RULE A. forfeited game shall be declared by the umpire in favor
24 of the club not in fault, and the score shall be recorded as
9 to 0, in the following cases:

Section l. of a club fail to appear upon the field,


If the team

"Play" at the hour for the beginning of the game, unless such delay
in appearing, or in commencing the game be unavoidable.

tinue to play, unless the game has been suspended or terminated by
the umpire.

Sec. 3. play has been suspended by the umpire, one

RULE Z4 —Continued
Sec. 5. If, after warning by the umpire, any one of the niles
of the game be wilfully and persistently violated.
Sec. 6. If the order for the removal of a player, as authorized
by Rules 14, 19, 30, 51 and 60, be not obeyed within one minute.

Sec. 7. because of the removal of players from the game


If,

by the umpire, or for any cause, there be less than nine players on
either team.
Sec. 8. If, after the game has been
suspended, the orders of
the umpire are not complied with as required by Rule 26.
Sec. 9. If, when two games are scheduled to be played in one
afternoon, the second game shall not be commenced within twenty
minutes after the completion of the first game. The umpire of the
first game shall be the timekeeper.

Sec. 10. In case the umpire declare the game forfeited he


shall transmit a written report thereof to the president of the league
within twenty-four hours thereafter. However, a failure on the part
of the umpire to notify the president shall not affect the validity of
his award of the game by forfeiture.
Sec. 11. In a regulation game which the umpire shall declare
forfeited after four and one-half innings have been played, all indi-
vidual and team averages shall be incorporated in the official playing
records, except that no pitcher shall be credited with a victory or
charged with a loss in said game.
It Is true that all the sections of this rule are not observed to the exact-
ness of a second, nor even a minute, but the intention of the rulemakers
is to provide a penalty which can be enforced for any violation of un-
sportsmanlike delay if the umpire feels it within his Judgment to act.
Section 1 is to provide for wilful absence from the field; Section 2 means
exactly what it says, and any umpire should never hesitate to enforce It.
An umpire can forfeit a game under Section 3, under Section 4. and under
Section 5, but umpires do not always use a stopwatch. There have been
times perhaps when it would have been better had they done so. Section
6 is violated frequently in the spirit if not the letter, yet after one minute
has elapsed the umpire has it within his power to act at once. No game
can be played with fewer than nine players on a team (Section 7). Section
8 is enforceable in amateur games, while Sections 9 and 10 apply more to
professional games governed by organized leagues.

No Game.
RULE "No game" shall be declared by the umpire if he termi-
25 nates play in accordance with Rule 23, Section 3, before
five (5) innings have been completed by each team; but
if the team last at bat is at bat in the last half of the fifth inning
582 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 35 —Continued
and has equaled before the completion of that inning the score of the
team first at bat, the umpire shall declare the game "legally drawn"
in accordance with Rule 23, Section 5. If the team second at bat shall
have made more runs at the end of its fourth inning, or before the
completion of its fifth inning, than the team first at bat has made in
five (5) completed innings of a game so terminated, the umpire shall
award the game to the team having made the greater number of runs,
and it shall count as a legal game in the championship record.
This rule provides explicitly that if the team second at bat has more
runs at the end of the fourth inning than the team first at bat has made at
the end of its completed half of the fifth inning, the team second at bat
wins. An added phrase provides a legal definition of victory if team sec-
ond at bat is in the lead and the game is terminated before the fifth inning
is completed.

Choice of Innings Fitness of —


Field for Play.
RULE The choice of innings shall be given to the manager or
26 captain of the home team, who shall be the sole judge of
the fitness of the ground for beginning a game; but, after
play has been called by the umpire, the latter alone shall be the judge
as to the fitness of the ground for resuming play after the game has
been suspended, and when time is so called the groundkeeper and
sufficient assistants shall be under the control of the umpire for the
purpose of putting the ground in proper condition for play, under
penalty of forfeiture of the game by the' home team.
Umpires are the sole judges as to the fitness of the playing field for
starting the second game of a double-header. This rule applies to any
advertised double-header with one admission. Twilight and night games
come under the ruling, unless thev are distinct contests, such as are morn-
ing and afternoon games.

THE PITCHING RULES.


Delivery of the Rail to the Rat.
RULE Section 1. Preliminary to pitching, the pitcher shall
2T take his position facing the batsman with his pivot foot
always on or in front of and in contact with the pitcher's
plate. In the act of delivering the ball to the batsman, the pitcher's
other foot is free, except that he cannot step to either side of the
pitcher's plate. He shall not raise either foot until in the act of
delivering the ball to the batsman, or in throwing to a base. With a
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 583

RULE 27—Continued
runner on first or second base, the pitcher must face the batsman
with both hands holding the ball in front of him. If he raises his
arms above his head or out in front, he must return to a natural
pitcher's position and stop before starting his delivery of the ball to
the batsman.


NOTE After pitcher takes legal position for delivery of ball to
batsman, he may take one step backward and one step forward, but
not to either side.

Sec. 2. At no time during the progress of the game shall the


pitcher be allowed to (1) apply a foreign substance of any kind to
the ball; (2) expectorate either on the ball or his glove; (3) rub the
ball on his glove, person or clothing; (4) deface the ball in any
manner; or to deliver what is called the "shine" ball, "spit" ball,
"mud" ball or "emery" ball. For violation of any part of this rule
the umpire shall at once order the pitcher from the game, and in
addition he shall be automatically suspended for a period of ten days,
on notice from the president of the league. Provided that, under the
supervision and control of the umpire, the pitcher may use to dry his
hands a small, finely meshed sealed bag containing powdered rosin,
furnished by the league.

Young pitchers should take strict notice of Section 1 of this rule in


order that they may not acquire an illegal delivery, which results in balk-
ing. The pitcher must keep his pivot foot in contact with the rubber when
he delivers the ball to the batter. His other foot is free and he may take
one step backward and one step forward, but not to either side, when de-
livering the ball to the batsman without returning to a natural pitching
and throw to a base, unless he takes one' step directly toward that base.
He must also, when runners are on base, avoid committing a balk as de-
fined in the several sections of Rule 31.
Section 2 was adopted in 1920. It is the rule which pronounced the
doom of the freak pitching deliveries that had crept into baseball from
time to time. Young pitchers should specially take cognizance of this sec-
tion. Freak deliveries are of no assistance to pitchers, because they are
liable to suspension at any time if the umpire decides that the rule has
been violated. A penalty of that severity makes it absurd for a beginner
anxious to learn to pitch to waste his time on anything except straight
baseball, which it is desirous to encourage. The rosin bag is solelv to aid
and adds to the deception of the pitsher's assortment of stuff. However,
the rule states with a runner on first or second base, if the pitcher
livering the ball to the batsman, without returning to a natural pitching
position. In other words, they do not pause or hesitate as required by the
rule. This has a tendency to hold the runners more closely to the bases
and adds to the deception of the pitchers assortment of stuff.
The rule states with a runner on first or second base, if the pitcher
raises his arms above his head or out in front, he must return to a normal
pitching position and STOP before starting his delivery to the batsman.
Pitchers are constantly seeking to beat this rule by delivering the ball to
the batsman with one continuous motion, rather than coming to a definite
584 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 27 —Continued
pause in the delivery on reaching the normal pitching position. The pen-
alty is a balk, if pitcher does not come to full stop.
Pitchers are not allowed to wear a split sleeve if in the umpires' judg-
ment it can in any way interfere with the batter.
Quick return pitch is not allowed and "Time" is to be immediately
called by the umpire if and when such pitch is made.
If in the opinion of the umpire the pitcher throws a "Bean Ball" the
pitcher shall be warned by the umpire and if the pitcher repeats this pitch
he shall be removed from the game and the league office notified with full
particulars.
The umpire is to provide a rosin bag furnished by the league to be
placed on the ground back of the pitcher. The pitcher is not allowed to
carry the bag in his pocket unless told to do so by the umpire. Pitcher is
not allowed to apply rosin to any part of his uniform or ball.

A Fairly Delivered Ball.


RULE Section 1. A fairly delivered ball is a ball pitched or
28 thrown to the bat by the pitcher while standing in his
position and facing the batsman that passes over any
portion of the home base, before touching the ground, not lower than
the batsman's knees, nor higher than his shoulder. For every such
fairly delivered ball the umpire shall call one strike.
Sec. 2. If, with no one on base, the pitcher deliver the ball while
off the pitcher's plate, and the batsman strike at such illegally
delivered ball, it counts either as a strike or whatever play may
follow.
The first of course, to when the batsman does not at-
section refers,
tempt to strike at a delivered ball.
fairly When the batsman swings at
a pitched ball, unfairly
fairly delivered, it is automatically a strike
or
under most conditions and must be called by the umpire.

An Unfairly Delivered Ball.


RULE An unfairly delivered ball is a ball delivered to the bat by
29 the pitcher while standing in his position and facing the
batsman that does not pass over any portion of the home
base between the batsman's shoulder and knees, or that touches the
ground before passing home base, unless struck at by the batsman,
except as provided for in Section 4 of Rule 46; or, with the bases
unoccupied, any ball delivered by the pitcher while no foot is in con-
tact with the pitcher's plate, unless struck at by the batsman. For
every unfairly delivered ball the umpire shall call one ball.
Note that if a ball touches the ground before passing home plate It
is aball, provided it does not later hit the batsman. In other words,
if it strikes the ground and goes on its way, it is a ball. However, if
such a pitch after striking the ground, should then hit the batsman, he
would be entitled to first base on being hit by a pitched ball. If he elects
to strike at it whatever happens is legal.
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 585

RULE 29 —Continued
There are three possibilities that can arise from an unfairly delivered
ball that results from a pitcher not having his pivot foot in contact with
the rubber when he deUvers it. For such an unfairly delivered ball, If
there are no runners on the bases, the umpire shall rule it a ball, even
though it passed over the heart of the plate within the strike zone, unless
the batsman should strike at it. If the batsman so elects, it counts as a
strike or whatever play may follow. With a runner or runners on the bases,
such a delivered ball becomes a balk.

Delaying tiie Game.


RULE Section l. When
the batsman is standing in his proper
30 position, the ball shall not be thrown by the pitcher to
any player other than the catcher except in an attempt
to retire a base-runner. If repeated after warning by the umpire,
the pitcher shall be removed from the game.
Sec. The umpire shall call a ball on the pitcher each time he

delays the game by failing to deliver the ball to the batsman for a
longer period than 20 seconds, excepting that at the commencement
of each inning, or pitcher relieves another, the pitcher may
when a
occupy one minute in delivering not to exceed five balls to the catcher
or an infielder, during which time play shall be suspended.
There is a very severe penalty against the pitcher if he throws to a base
part of
as one might say "for fun" or to delay a game. Wilful delay on the
the pitcher in delivering the ball, especially when storm threatens, should
be punished by the umpire as Section 2 provides.
At the beginning of each inning the pitcher is allowed to throw five
balls to the catcher or to an infielder for "warming-up" practice, the
bats-
man refraining from occupying his position in the "box" at home plate.

is not facing the batsman.
Sec. 5. Any motion in delivering the ball to the bat by the pitcher
while not in the position defined by Rule 27, Section 1.
Sec. 6. Holding of the ball by the pitcher so long as, in the opinion
of the umpire, to delay the game unnecessarily.
Sec. 7. Making any motion to pitch while standing in his position
without having the ball in his possession; or, regardless of whether he
makes any motion to pitch or not, if the pitcher takes a legal position
on the pitcher's plate without the ball in his possession, or if he takes
a position off the pitcher's plate and feints to deliver the ball to the
bat.
Sec. 8. Making any motion of the arm, shoulder, hip, knee, foot
or body the pitcher habitually makes in his method of delivery,
without immediately delivering the ball to the bat.
Sec. 9. After the pitcher has taken position, with both hands hold-
ing the ball in front of him, he cannot take either hand off the ball
except in the act of delivering the ball to the batsman or in throwing
to bases.
Sec. 10. being in
If the pitcher steps off the pitcher's plate, after
position for the purpose either of drying his hands or rubbing his
eyes, or for other reasons, and it is a legitimate action not understood
or interpreted by the umpire as intended to deceive a base-runner,
then the umpire shall call "Time."
Sec. 11. If the pitcher, in the act of delivering the ball to the bats-
man or in throwing to first base, drop the ball, either intentionally or
accidentally.
NOTE —With no one on bases, not a balk
it is if the pitcher drops
the ball while delivering it to the batsman.
Sec. 12. In case a "balk" is called, the ball shall be considered
"dead" when announcement is made, and no play can be made until
the runner or runners reach the base or bases to which they are
entitled.
Professionals are more inclined to try to balk, or half balk, as it Is
called,than amateurs. Section 3 emphasizes the fact that the pitcher's
pivot foot must be in contact with the rubber when he delivers the ball.
The other foot may be behind or in front, but not on the side. Section 4
is violated with so much subtlety that it is often hard even for umpires, to
recognize when the pitcher is facing the batsman. Not only is there a penalty
of a called ball against the pitcher if he fails to deliver the ball to the ,

batter within twenty seconds, but if the umpire concludes that he is trying to
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 587

RIILE 31 —Continued
delay the game he may call a balk, which would score a runner on third
base and advance a runner on any other base.
Note Section 7 carefully. If the pitcher takes a legal position on the
pitcher's rubber without the ball in his possession, or if he feints to de-
liver the ball to the batter and is not on the rubber and the ball is not
in his possession, it is a balk.
Sections 9, 10, 11 and 12 of Rule 31 are plain and definite. Section 9
refers to the position of the pitcher's hands on the ball. Section 10 refers
to the stepping of the pitcher from the rubber. Section 11 refers to the
pitcher dropping the ball. If there are runners on the bases and the pitcher
drops the ball in the act of delivering it to the batter it is a balk. Sec-
tion 12 rules that a balk is also a dead ball. This is often overlooked and
is important.

Ball Dead ISot in Play.


RULE The dead and not in play:
ball is

32 (1) If a pitched ball touches any part of the bats-


man's person or clothing while the batsman is
standing in his position, whether the ball is struck at or not:
(2) If a balk is committed;
(3) In case of an illegally batted ball;
(4) In case of a foul hit not legally caught;
(5) In case of interference with the fielder or batsman;
(6) In case a fair hit ball strikes a base-runner or umpire before
touching a fielder;
(7) In case the ball is handled by a spectator as set forth in
Rule 33.
In all of the foregoing cases the ball shall not be considered in play
until it be held by the pitcher standing in his position and the
umpire shall have called "Play."
These "automatic" cases of time should be called by the umpire to avoid
confusion and to them can be added such cases as the batter calls for time
when there is a substitution being made on the bases one base runner for
another. Changing of* the ball in play for the alternate ball, in fact, any
time the umpire stops play for any legitimate reason he should call time
and in a manner that players and spectators will know it.
Ball is dead in American League when fielder falls into dugout, bench
or stand at any point after making catch of fly ball. However, it fielder
steps into dugout but does not fall down, the ball remains in play.

Balls Handled by Spectators.


RULE A
batted or thrown ball touched, stopped or handled by a
33 person not engaged in the game is dead and not in play.
If a fair hit, the batsman making the hit shall be entitled
to two bases and each base-runner shall be entitled to advance two
"bases. If a thrown ball, each base-runner shall be entitled to advance
in accordance with Section 2 of Rule 65.
If a batter hits a ball that is touched by a spectator, the batter and all
the runners advance two bases, the batter goes to second, the runner, who
was on first at the time the pitch was made, moves to third and the
588 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 33 —Continued
runner, who was on second, scores. It all takes place with the position of
the runners at time the pitch was made.
Ball is dead and runners advance two bases when ball is thrown by
infielder.
On thrown balls by outfielder the situation is different. For example,
with men on first and second, batter singles to right field. Fielder juggles
ball, man on second scores and man on first going to third, draws a wild
throw that hits spectator behind third base and ball rebounds on the play-
ingfield. Ball is dead. Umpires direct runners where to go, according
to positions of runners when throw was made. If runner, who was on
first, had passed second base at time throw was made, he is allowed to
score. The batter is allowed to go to third, if umpires decide he passed
first base at time throw was made.

THE RULES FOR RATSMEIV.


The Ratsman's Position.
RULE Each player of the team at bat shall become the batsman
34 and must take his position within the batsman's lines (as
defined in Rule 8) in the order that his name appears in
his team's batting order.
The batting list of a team may be arranged as its captain desires. It
is not necessary that the captain shall be first at bat. Nor is it necessary
that there shall be any fixed order, as outfielders, infielders and then the
catcher and pitcher. Schoolboys of a generation ago thought a batting
order arranged as so outlined to be orthodox. In some sections it has come
to be a practice, but it is only by heritage and not authority.

The Order of Ratting.


RULE The batting order of each team must be on the score card
35 and must be delivered before the game by its manager or
captain to the umpire at the home plate, who shall submit
it to the inspection of the manager or captain of the other team. The
batting order delivered to the umpire must be followed throughout
the game unless a player be substituted for another, in which case
the substitute must take the place in the batting order of the retired
player.
Major leagues require the manager of home team to deliver his batting
order to the umpire. Then the visiting manager or captain delivers
first
his lineup, after which, for the first time, they can inspect rival lineups.
If the umpire should make a mistake in announcing the pitcher, and
his attention is called to the error, he should refer to his batting order
and make proper announcement. No one should suffer because of umpire's
error in announcing.
The acceptance of the batting orders of the two teams at the plate
constitutes an "announcement." Pitchers named in such batting orders are
"in the game," and must pitch to the first batter to face him until that
first batter has either been retired or reaches first base, except if the pitcher
sustains a disability (Section 5, Rule 17).

The First Ratsnian in an Inning.


RULE After the first inning the first batsman in each inning
3Q shall be the batsman whose name follows that of the last
man who completed his "time at bat" in the preceding
inning.
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 589

RULE 36 Continued
After the first inning the first batter in each succeeding inning is the
player following the man who completed his full time at bat in the inning
before. "Time at bat" means a full term at bat. Two strikes, or one, two
or three balls, or one strike and three balls, for example, is not a full "time
at bat." If a batter has but one strike in the first inning and the third man
be put out while he is at bat, he becomes the first batter in the following
inning, not having completed his full time at bat in the inning previous.
In such case, any balls and strikes called in the preceding inning do not
count when he assumes his time at bat in the next inning.

A Fair Hit.
RULE A a legally batted ball that settles on fair
fair hit is

3X ground between home and first base, or between home and


third base, or that is on or over fair ground when bound-
ing to the outfield past first base or third base, or that touches first
base or third base, or that first falls on fair territory on or beyond
first base or third base; or that, while on or over fair ground, touches

the person of the umpire or a player. A fair fly must be judged


according to the relative position of the ball and the foul line, and
not as to whether the fielder is on fair or foul ground at the time he
touches the ball.

A batted ball that touches first base or third base is a fair hit even
if it later bounds foul.

A Foul Hit.
RULE A a legally batted ball that settles on foul
foul hit is

33 territory between home and first base or home and third


base, or that bounds past first or third base on or over
foul territory, or that falls on foul territory beyond first or third base,
or, while on or over foul ground, touches the person of the umpire or

a player, or any object foreign to the natural ground. A foul fly must
be judged according to the relative position of the ball and the foul
line, and not as to whether the fielder is on foul or fair ground at the
time he touches the ball.

Any on foul ground Is a foul hit. except


legally batted ball that settles
that a ground hit, shouldfrom foul to fair territory between first
it roll
and home or third and home, and remain there, is a fair hit.
A ground hit that first strikes fair territory and rolls outside of the foul
line between first and home, or third and home, is a foul hit if the ball
remains outside. As also is a batted ball that hits the pitching rubber and
bounds into foul territory before passing first or third base, without touch-
ing a fielder.
Any legally batted ball that falls on foul territory beyond first base,
or third base, or that touches the person of a player or an umpire on foul
ground, is a foul hit.
Note again the phrase, "while on or over foul ground, touches the per-
son of the umpire or player." This does not mean that a ball is fair If It
is over foul ground and the player is on fair ground. Many disputes arise
over this point.

A Foul Tip
RUIiE -^ ^0^1 tip is^ b^li batted by the batsman while standing"
39 • within the lines of his position, that goes sharp and direct
froni the bat to the catcher's hands and is legally caught.
A foul tip is a ball shooting off the bat to the catcher. The first
two of such foul tips count as strikes even if not caught by catcher, in
which case base runners may not advance. Any foul tip caught by the
catcher constitutes a strike and ball is in play. Runners cannot advance,
nor can a third strike be called, if the ball strikes the body or equipment
of the catcher before he makes the catch.

A Bunt Hit.
RULE A. bunt hit is a legally batted ball, not swung at, but met

40 with the bat and tapped slowly within the infield by the
batsman. If the attempt to bunt result in a foul not
legally caught, a strike shall be called by the umpire.
A bunt hit is legally tapping the ball slowly within the infield by the
batsman. If a foul result which is not legally caught, the batsman is
charged with a strike, whether it be the first, second or third strike. So
proficient have batters become that tapping the ball has been literally
changed to pushing or "dragging" the ball. Speed, a quick start, and the
ball lacking force as it rolls, are factors that combine for success.
Any bunt rolling foul is a strike. If the ball twists, rolls or bounds
outside the foul line and the baseman traps it at once, the batsman is
charged with the second or third strike, as the case may be.
first, The
moment that a fielder touches a bunted ball on foul ground it becomes a
foul. If the ball merely grazes the tip of his finger it becomes foul.
The batsman is out on a bunt that rolls foul if the attempted bunt be
made on the third strike. It is not just a plain foul, as some appear to
think, but a bona fide strike, and must be ruled upon and treated as such.

Balls Batted Outside the Playing Field.


BULE Section 1. When a batted ball passes outside the play-
41 ing the umpire shall decide it fair or foul according
field
to where it leaves the playing field.
This section, modified in 1931, gives justice to the batter. A batted ball
must be decided fair or foul at the exact point at which it leaves the play-
ing field.

Sec. 2. A fair batted fly ball that goes over the fence or into a
stand shall entitle the batsman to a home run unless it should pass
out of the ground or into a stand at a less distance than two hundred
and fifty (250) feet from the home base, in which case the batsman
shall be entitled to two bases only. In either event the batsman
must touch the bases in regular order. The point at which a fence
or stand is less than 250 feet from the home base shall be plainly
indicated by a white or black sign or mark for the umpire's guidance.
If there were a ground rule that a home run could be batted into a
stand or over the fence at a distance less than 250 feet from the home
plate it could be observed, but such a "home run" -is about like a squib as

RULE 41 —Continued

leagues should not attempt it.
and
Note that the batsman must circle the bases in order, even if
a home
run IS automatically such a run. If a ball game is being played upon
improvised Held, or upon a field that is limited in area and the an
250-foot
rule for a home run is in effect, every effort should be
made to designate
the exact spot at which the 250-foot limit is located; a marking flag
will do
If nothing better is available. The staff of the flag, of course, must be
fixed exactly on the line extending from home plate to the field
limit.
Sec. 3. A fair hit ball that strikes the ground and bounds into a
stand or over a fence shall be a two-base hit.

Strikes
RULE A strike is:
42 Section l. A pitched ball struck at by the batsman
without its touching his bat.
Sec. 2. A fair ball legally delivered oy the pitcher at which the
batsman does not strike.
Sec. 3. A foul ball not caught on the fly unless the batsman
has two strikes.
Sec. 4. An attempt to bunt which results in a foul not legally
caught.
Sec. 5. A pitched ball at which the batsman strikes but misses
and which touches any part of his person.
Sec. 6. A foul tip, held by the catcher, while standing within the
lines of his position.
When the batsman strikes at a pitched ball and misses it, a strike is
called.
When the batsman fails to strike at a pitched ball which passes over the
plate at the legal height, between knees and shoulder, a strike is called.
With less than two strikes on the batter, any foul tip, whether caught
by the catcher, or not, is a strike. After two strikes, however, a foul tip
must be held by the catcher to become the third strike. If it is not held
by the catcher it is just a foul.
A foul hit, whether a fly or a ground hit, bounding to any part of foul
ground, is a strike unless the batter has two strikes. After two strikes the
batter may foul the ball without penalty unless he bunts or is caught out
on a foul fly or on a foul tip.
All bunts rolling foul are strikes. If the batsman strikes at the ball
and misses it but the ball hits him it is a strike.
The third strike on the batsman offers many variations.
If with two strikes, a foul tip hits the umpire direct and Is caught
on the fly by a fielder before touching the ground, the batsman is NOT
out. The ball becomes dead and is regarded merely as a foul ball. The
592 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

ElULE 4S —Continned
same is true if a direct foul tip lodges In the umpire's mask or any other
part of his equipment.
If a third strike called or swung at and missed (not a foul tip) passes
the catcher and hits the umpire direct, the ball is in play. If such a ball
rebounds from the umpire and is caught on the fly before touching the
ground, the batsman is not out, but the ball remains in play and the
batsman may be retired by being touched with the ball or throwing it to
nrst ahead of the runner.
If a third strike (not a foul tip) is called or swung at and missed and
lodges in the umpire's mask or other part of his equipment, the ball be-
comes dead. However, the batsman shall be granted first base and other
runners on the bases at the time will be allowed to advance one base.

All niegally Batted Ball.


RULE An illegally batted ball is a ball batted by the batsman
43 when either or both of his feet are upon the ground out-
side of the lines of the batsman's position.
If the batsman, with either of his feet out of the batsman's box, hits
the ball in any way it is an illegally batted ball, and the batsman is out.
Frequently illegally batted balls escape the attention of the umpire,
although it is not his fault. The batter in recent years tends to keep in
motion while at bat and often does not set himself with a foot brace,
depending upon a free swing to meet the ball. The penalty for an illegally
batted ball is "out."
This is strictly up to judgment of umpire and no definite lines can be
drawn, as nine times out of ten, one of the batter's feet is out of the box,
when he has completed his follow through. Provided both feet were in
the box at the start of the swing, umpires do not feel that the follow
through that carried one foot out of the box has resulted from an^eflort
to cheat the rule and seldom give it consideration. However, if the swing
is made with both feet out of the box, he must always be called out.

When Batsman is Out.


RULE '^^^ Batsman is Out:
44 Section 1. If take his position at the bat in
he fail to
the turn in which his name appears in the batting
order.
But if the error be discovered the proper batsman may replace the

man at bat before the latter becomes a base-runner, in which case the
balls and strikes must be counted in the time-at-bat of the proper
batsman.
Only the proper batsman shall be declared out, and no runs shall
be scored or bases run because of any act of the improper batsman.
This rule shall not be enforced unless the error be discovered and
the out be declared before the ball be delivered to the batsman next
facing the pitcher.
Should the batsman declared out under this section be the third
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 593

RULE 44 —Continued
out and his team be thereby put out, the proper batsman in the next
inning shall be the player who would have come to bat had the
players been put out by ordinary play in the preceding inning.
Batting out of order plays will be less confusing if one remembers these
very fundamental facts. It is an appeal play, or no action is taken. The
appeal must be made before a ball is pitched to the next batsman. If and
when the umpire makes a ruling, the proper batsman is always the man
called out. No runners can advance on any act of an improper batsman
that isproperly discovered, an appeal made and ruled on. Runners return
to their original bases and the next batter is the man who followed the
proper batter in the regular lineup. Should the team at bat discover that
the batsman is hitting improperly, it is possible to remove him and sub-
stitute the proper hitter, who shall take the ball and strike count that was
on the improper batsman when the mistake was discovered. The time to
appeal for a ruling on an improper batter is either after he is retired or
reaches base, and then before a ball is pitched to the next hitter.

Sec. 2. If he fail to take his position within one minute after the
umpire has called for the batsman.
Section 2 is not enforced to the limit. As a matter of fact there is little
reason to enforce it. Most players are too anxious to bat. Its purpose is
to give the umpire authority to act if the game is purposely delayed.
The batsman is out if a foul fly. other than a foul tip, is caught by a
fielder, provided latter does not use his hat, cap, protector, or any illegal
contrivances to catch the ball, and provided the ball does not strike some
object other than a fielder before being caught. The batter is never out if
a foul tip lodges between the catcher's chest protector and the body. Note
that the ball must be caught and not "momentarily held."
If a fielder stands on fair territory and reaches over into foul territory
to attempt to catch a fly and deflects the ball into fair ground, his position
does not make the hit a fair ball. The reverse also holds true in regard to
a player standing on foul ground and reaching after a fair batted ball.

Sec. 3. If he make a foul hit other than a foul tip as defined in


Rule 39, and the ball be caught by a fielder before touching the
ground; provided, it be not caught in a fielder's hat, cap, protector,
pocket or other part of his uniform, or strike some object other than
a fielder before being caught, any of which would be an illegally
caught ball.

Sec. 4. If he bat the ball illegally, as defined in Rule 43.

Sec. 5. attempt to hinder the catcher from fielding or


If he
throwing the ball by stepping outside the lines of the batsman's
position, or in any way obstruct or interfere with that player, except
that if a base-runner attempting to steal is put out the batsman shall
not be out; except, also, that the batsman shall not be out under this
section if the base-runner be declared out according to Section 15 of
Rule 49.
Section 5 provides two ways for the punishment of interference, but it
does not provide that two can be put out on one play, as some seem to
think.
594 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 44 —Continued
Sec. 6. If, while first base be occupied by a base-runner, the third
strike be called on him by the umpire, unless two men are already out.
Note Section 6. If the umpire calls a third
strike with first base occu-
pied, and there are not two men out, the batter
is out whether the catcher
holds the third strike or not. An important game was once lost in the
big leagues because the runner on first base did not know this rule. He
thought that he was forced when the third strike was called against the
batter and the catcher dropped the ball. He did not need to leave first
and was an easy out when he tried to reach second. This rule was
adopted to prevent the catcher from dropping the ball purposely to insure
a double play.
Sec. 7.while attempting a third strike, the ball touch any part
If,

of the batsman's person, in which case base-runners occupying bases


shall not advance as prescribed in Rule 48, Section 5.
When the third strike hits the batter, the ball is dead and base-runners
are not permitted to advance.
Sec. 8. If, before two are out, while first and second or first,,
second and third bases are occupied, he hit a fair fly ball, other than,
a line drive, that can reasonably be caught by an infielder. In such
case the umpire shall declare it an infield fly. However, the runners
may be off their bases or advance at the risk of the ball being caught,
the same as on any other fly ball but if hit by the ball while standing
;

on base, that base-runner shall not be called out, but the ball is dead
and the batsman shall be called out; and if the base-runner be hit
while off base, both that base-runner and the batsman shall be called
out and the ball is dead. Provided, that, with first and second bases
occupied, or first, second and third bases occupied, with less than two
out, any attempt to bunt which results in a fair fly ball shall not be
regarded as an infield fly.
Section 8 applies to the Infield fly. Note, first of all, that it must be a
"fair" fly. Then note that runners may be off their bases or advance at
the risk of the fly being caught, same as on any fly ball. Also note that
under the provisions of this section an attempt to bunt which results in a
fair fly ball is not to be considered as an infield fly. If the umpire thinks
an infield fly has been batted he declares it an "infield fly."
Many have a mistaken impression that the infield fly is operative with
a runner on flrst only, or runners on first and third bases. It is not. The
rule is made to prevent a player from trapping the ball and starting a
double play with runners on first and second, or runners on first, second
and third.
Do not hurry the calling of an infield fly. Be sure that it is going
to land in fair territory. This applies particularly if there is a wind blow-
ing. But if you have called infield fly and the ball does land in foul
territory reverse your decision as a foul ball cannot be an infield fly under
any conditions.
Sec. 9. If the third strike be called in accordance with Sections
4 or 5 of Rule 42.
Section 9 self-explanatory. The batsman Is out on a bunt that rolls
Is
foul or flies foul and settles on foul ground if the attempted bunt is made
on the third strike. The batsman is out if, when it is the third strike,
the batsman strikes at the ball and misses it, but is hit by the ball.
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 595

RULE 44 —Continued
Sec. 10. If he steps from one batsman's box to the other while
the pitcher is in his position ready to pitch.
Section 10 distinctly says, "while the pitcher is in his position ready
to pitch." The batter may change from one box to the other when the
pitcher is not in his position, the object of the rule being to prevent the bat-
ter from disconcerting the pitcher and perhaps causing him to balk.
This Rule is one of the most important of any and calls for plenty of
study and thought to be understood as it should be. The explanations are
very clear and cover each section in good shape. In this rule it is wise to
take one section at a time, and the notes attached to each section, to get
what you are supposed to get out of it.

BASE-RUNNIIVG RULES.
Legal Order of Bases.
RULE Section l. The base-runner must touch each base In
45 legal order, viz., First, Second, Third and Home Bases;
and" when obliged to return while the ball is in play, must
retouch the base or bases in reverse order. He can only acquire the
right to a base by touching it, before having been put out, ajid shall
then be entitled to hold such base until he has legally touched the
next base in order, or has been legally forced to vacate it for a suc-
ceeding base-runner.
After the batsman makes a fair hit in which he Is not put out he must
touch first, second and third bases and then the home plate in regular
succession in order to score a run.
Sec. 2. A
base-runner having acquired legal title to a base cannot
run bases in reverse order for the purpose either of confusing the
fielders or making a travesty of the game. A runner violating this
rule is out if touched with the ball, or the ball held on the base said
runner was entitled to hold.
Section 2 is to prevent a runner from reversing the bases, either for
the purpose of confusing the fielders or to make the game look absurd.
If a runner has left first base and has legally touched second bas« and has
a legal claim to second base, he may not deliberately run the reverse way
back to first base and expect to escape the penalty of being put out. If be
violates the rule as it now reads he is out if he is touched with the ball
or the ball is held on the base that the runner was entitled to hold.
SEC. 3. In case a runner is being run down between bases, and
the following runner occupies the same base the first runner has left,
the second man cannot be put out while holding said base. If the
first runner, however, returns safely to the base he left, and both
runners are then occupying the same base, the second runner is the
man out, if touched with the ball.
The base always belongs to the original occupant unless forced to ad-
vance, when the completion of a play results in two runners on the same
596 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 45 —Continued
base. The runner who advances to the base in question Is the man who Is
out when touched with the ball. If he can return to the base he vacated
without being touched, he has the right to do so. A base runner who
advances to a base another runner has left, is immune from being put out
while on that base. It is when the original occupant returns that he loses
his immunity.

Sec. 4. The failure of a preceding runner to touch a base (and


*vho is declared out therefor) shall not affect the status of a succeed-
ing runner who touches each base in proper style; except that, after
two are out, a succeeding runner cannot score a run when a preced-
ing runner is declared out for failing to touch a base as provided in
Rule 49, Sections 10 and 13. This exception also applies to a batsman
who hits the ball out of the playing field for an apparent home run.
With less than two out, the faliure of a preceding runner to touch a
base shall in no way affect the status of succeeding base runners who
properly touch the bases. This rule kills off all argument that a runner
who touches a base that a preceding runner misses, technically passes
said runner and is out for so doing. Ko longer is there any argument for
such a contention under the present wording.

When the Batsman Bi^comes a Base-Bunner.


BULiE The Batsman Becomes a Base-Rimner:
46 Section l. Instantly after he makes a fair hit.
Sec. 2. Instantly after "Four Balls" have been called by
the umpire.
Sec. 3. Instantly after "Three Strikes" have been declared by the
umpire.
Sec. 4. If, without making any attempt to strike at the ball, his
person or clothing be hit by a pitched ball unless, in the opinion of the
umpire, he plainly makes no effort to get out of the way of the
pitched ball, in which case the umpire shall call a strike or a ball in
accordance with Rules 28 and 29.
Sec. 5. If the catcher interferes with him, unless he makes a safe
hit.

Sec. 6. If a fair hit ball strike the person or clothing of the


umpire or a base-runner on fair ground, subject to the provisions of
Section 8 of Rule 44.
The batsman should start to base instantly after making a fair
first
hit, or when four balls have been or when three strikes have been
called,
declared by the umpire, as a precaution for himself.
That part of Section 4 beginning "unless. In the opinion," etc., means
that if the pitcher tosses a slow ball and the batter deliberately permits
the ball to hit him, the umpire may use his judgment and not give
the batter first base by calling the pitch a strike or a ball.
The batsman is entitled to go to first base without being put out If
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 597

RULE 46 Continued
the catcher interferes with him, but if the batsman makes a safe hit he
may run as many bases as the hit will permit.
The batsman is entitled to first base, without being put out. if before
touching a fielder a fair hit ball touches either the person or clothing of an
umpire or a base-runner who is on fair ground. However, if a runner
who is standing on a base is struck by a fair batted ball when the umpire
calls an infield fly, then the batsman and not the runner is declared out.

Entitled to Bases.

RULE The base-runner shall be entitled, without liability to be

47 put out, to advance one base, except where more are


specified, in the following cases:

Section l. while the batsman, he becomes a base-runner by


If,

reason of "four balls," or for being hit by a pitched ball, or for being
interfered with by the catcher in striking at a pitched ball, or if a
fair hit ball strike the person or clothing of the umpire or a base-
runner on fair ground before touching a fielder. Provided, that if a
fair hit ball strike the umpire after having passed a fielder other
than the pitcher or having been touched by a fielder (including
the pitcher), the ball shall be considered in play. Also, if a fair hit
ball strike the umpire on foul ground, the ball shall be in play.

Ifthe ball strike the umpire on fair ground after having passed a
fielder other than pitcher, or having been touched by a fielder, including
pitcher the base-runner may continue to advance and the ball is in play as
if an error had been made, but the runner
takes the usual risk of advanc-
ing on a misplay. If a fair hit ball strike the umpire while the latter is
on foul ground the ball is in play, the position of the umpire having no
effect on the ball.
"Passing a fielder" does not mean an ordinary batted ball that bounds
past the pitcher.

Sec. 2. umpire awards to a succeeding batsman a base on


If the
four balls, or for being hit by a pitched ball, or being interfered with
by the catcher in striking at a pitched ball and the base-runner be
thereby forced to vacate the base held by him.
Whenever the umpire sends the batsman to first base after four balls
have been called, or for being hit by a pitched ball, or because he has been
interfered with by theall runners on
catcher, bases immediately ahead
of him may advance each without being put out. A runner on sec-
a ba.se
ond or third ba.se with fir.st base unoccupied would not be considered a
runner Immediately ahead.

Sec. 3. If the umpire call a "Balk."


Every base-runner advances one base when the umpire calls a balk.
The batter does not have the right to go to first base on a balk, because
a balk does not qualify him as a base-runner.

Sec. 4. If he be prevented from making a base by the obstruction


598 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 47 —Continued
of a fielder (including catcher), except when a fielder is trying to
fielda batted ball unless the latter has the ball in his hand ready to
touch the base-runner. The ball is still in play so far as other bas6-
runners are concerned. ^

A fielder may not obstruct a runner, although the fielder has right of
way if he is trying to field a batted ball. If the fielder has the ball in
hand to touch a runner the latter is not entitled to base.
Sec. 5. If the fielder stop or catch a batted ball or a thrown ball
with his hat, cap, glove or any part of his uniform, while detached
from its proper place on his person, the runner or runners shall be
entitled to three bases if a batted ball or to two bases if a thrown
ball, and in either case the runner may advance further at his own
risk.
The one important feature of this rule is that while the runner or
runners shall be entitled to three bases if a fielder stop a fairly batted ball
with cap or glove while detached from its proper place and two bases on a
thrown ball, that in either case the runner may advance further at his
own risk. In many quarters the impression prevails, and wrongly so, that
advancement permitted is limited to three bases on a batted ball and two
on a thrown ball.
Note also the mere act of throwing cap, glove or part of uniform at
ball in itself is not a violation unless the article comes in contact with the
ball.

Sec.6. If a thrown or pitched ball strike the person or clothing


of an umpire the ball shall be considered in play and the base-runner
or runners shall be entitled to all the bases they can make.
Note carefully that on a thrown or pitched ball which strikes the umpire,
runners make all the bases they can.
Sec. 7. If a thrown ball strike a coacher on fou. ground the ball
shall be considered in play. Provided, that if in the opinion of the
umpire the coacher intentionally interfere with such thrown ball, the
runner or runners must return to the last bases touched, and the
coacher be penalized by removal from the playing field.
At first sight it might seem to make worth while to interfere on
it
the part of the coacher because the ball is in play, but when the penalty
is noted it will be a very foolish coacher who will not try his best to get
out of the way of thrown balls.
Sec. 8. with the batsman while a base-
If the catcher interferes
runner is attempting to steal a base, the base-runnner shall be per-
mitted to advance to that base.
Sec. 9. In event a base-runner is trying to score from third base
on a pitched ball or the "squeeze" play, a "balk" and also an "inter-
ference" shall be called if the catcher runs out in front of the plate to
catch the ball; and the runner shall be allowed to score and the bats-
man be entitled to first base. In such event the same penalties must
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 599

RULE 47 —Continued
be imposed in case the catcher pushes the batsman out of the way
or tips his bat.
One of the few double penalties in baseball is in operation when the
catcher interferes with the batsman, in making a play at the plate on a
runner, either trying to steal home or score on the squeeze play. When
such a thing happens, an interference and balk is called. The balk entitles
the runner to score, while the interference entitles the batsman to first.

NOTE Runners are entitled to one base when fielder falls into dugout,
bench or stand at any point after making catch of fly ball as ball is dead,
according to special ruling, in American League, but if fielder steps into
dugout and does not fall down, ball remains in play and base runners can
advance at their own peril.
In the National, however, ball is not considered dead, but runners cannot
go beyond one base.

Returning to Rases.

RULE 48 —Continued
quired to touch the intervening bases in returning to the base to
which he is legally entitled.
The runner is obliged to go back to the base which he originally held
when the ball was batted foul if the ball is not caught. The runner cannot
be put out while returning. If a foul is caught on the fly, however, the
runner is liable to be "doubled up" if he cannot get back before the caught
ball is thrown to the base which he has just left. In the case of an illegally
batted ball, the runner must return to the base from which he has ad-
vanced, exactly as in the case of a foul hit not caught.
If the umpire gets in the way of the catcher by accident, the runner
cannot have the benefit of the mishap to the catcher, but must go back to
his original base.
Note in Section 6 that the fair hit must strike the umpire before the
ball touches the person of a fielder. There is an explicit provision in
this section about running bases and about the scoring of a run.
Note again in Section 7, which emphasizes the fact that if the runner
be declared out "for interference," the runners ahead shall return to base.

When Base-Runners are Out.


RULE Base-Runner is Out:
'I^he

40 Section l. If, after three strikes have been declared


against him while he is the batsman, the third strike ball
be not legally caught and he plainly attempts to hinder the catcher
from fielding the ball.
Tells the batter very plainly that if he Interferes with the catcher
when the latter has not caught the third strike, he suffers the penalty of
being called out.

Sec. 2(a) If, having made a fair hit while batsman, such fair hit
ball be caught by a fielder before touching the ground or any object
other than a fielder; provided, it be not caught in a fielder's hat, cap,
protector, pocket or other part of his uniform.

If, before two are out, while first, or first and second, or first,

second and third bases are occupied, any player, in the judgment of
the umpire, intentionally drops a fly ball or a line drive, the umpire
shall immediately rule the ball has been caught.

NOTE! —In such cases base-runners are not obliged to "tag up" and
may advance at their own risk.
Provides that the umpire shall declare the ball caught if in his judg-
ment a fielder intentionally drops a fly ball or a line drive when runners
are on first, first and second, or first, second, and third bases, before two
men are out.
Sec. 2 (b) If, after having hit or bunted a ball to fair territory,
his bat again hits the ball on or over fair territory and deflects its
course. Other base-runners cannot advance.
This means that the batsman is out if his bat hits the ball a second
time while it is in fair territory and deflects its course.

BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 601

RULE 49 —Continued
Sec. 3. If, when the umpire has declared "Three Strikes" on him
while he is the batsman, the third strike ball be caught by a fielder
before touching the ground; provided, it be not caught in a fielder'3
hat, cap, protector, pocket or other part of his uniform, or touch some
object other than a fielder before being caught.
In this case "fielder" refers particularly to the catcher. If there Is
a runner on first base and no one out, or only one out, the catcher does
not even have to hold the ball. The batter is out automatically (see Sec-
tion 6 of Rule 44). It is a "bone" play for a runner who is on first to
think he must run when the batter has a third strike called on him and
the catcher drops the ball, unless two men are out.

Sec. 4. If, after three strikes or a fair hit,he be touched with the
ball in the hand of a fielder before he shall have touched first base.

Says "fielder," because any fielder pitcher, catcher or first or second

baseman can touch the runner out if possible before the latter g6ts to first
base. In other words, the first baseman does not have a monopoly of putting
runners out at first base.

Sec. 5. If, after three strikes or a fair hit, the ball be securely
held by a fielder while touching first base with any part of his person
before such base-runner touch first base.
Defines the second way of putting runners out at first. If a fielder
meaning any player of side not at bat —
with the ball in his possession,
touches first base before the runner arrives at the base, the runner is out.
Sec. 6. If, in running the last half of the distance from home base
to first base, while the ball is being fielded at first base, he run out-
side the three-foot lines, as defined in Rule 7; and, in the opinion of
the umpire, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base;
except that he may run outside the three-foot lines to avoid a fielder
attempting to field a batted ball.

Often when a batter makes a long hit on which it appears he may go


to second base, or third, or home, he runs outside the base path while
rounding first base, there are some who instantly shout that he is out
"for running out of the line." Note what Section 6 says. The runner is
out for running out of line only if the ball is being fielded at first base
and he runs out to avoid being put out. It is apparent that the farther he
deviates from the base path, the more he is handicapping himself. When a
batter hits for a home run the ball is not fielded to first base on the first
play, except the runner Is presumed to have omitted to touch first base,
which is quite another matter from running out of line. There has been
added to this section definite information regarding leaving the base line.
Sec. 7. If,running to any base, he run more than three feet
in
from a direct line between a base and the next one in regular or
reverse order to avoid being touched by a ball in the hand of a fielder.
But in case a fielder be occupying a base-runner's proper path in
attempting to field a batted ball, then the base-runner shall run out
of direct line to the next base and behind said fielder and shall not be
declared out for so doing.
602 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 49 —Continued
Holds the runner to the base line to avoid being touched by the ball
hand of a fielder. On the other hand, if the runner is trying for a
In the
long distance hit, the base line rule is not exacted. He may make his
turn as best he can so that he shall not cut the bases. The runner never
is out if he runs behind a fielder who is trying to field the ball. He may
run in front of the fielder; indeed, sometimes it is almost impossible to do
otherwise, but he must be careful that he does not interfere with the fielder.

Sec. 8. If he avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball,


fail to
in the manner described in Sections 6 and 7 of this rule, or in any
way interferes with a fielder in attempting to field a batted ball, or in-
tentionally interfere with a thrown ball; provided, that if two or more
fielders attempt to field a batted ball, and the base-runner come in
contact with one or more of them, the umpire shall determine which
fielder is entitled to the benefit of this rule, and shall not decide the
base-runner out for coming in contact with a fielder other than the
one the umpire determines to be entitled to field such batted ball. If
a fair hit ball goes through an infielder, and hits a runner imme-
diately back of him, the umpire must not declare the runner out for
being hit by a batted ball. In making such decision the umpire must
be convinced that the ball passed through the infield and that no other
infielder had the chance to make a play on the ball. If, in the judg-

ment of the umpire, the runner deliberately and intentionally kick


such a hit ball, on which the infielder has missed a play, then the
runner must be called out for interference.
If the fielders have run into one another the runner is not at fault if he
collides with that fielder who, in the opinion of the umpire, had the lesser
opportunity to field the ball.

Sec. 9. If at any time while the ball is in play, he be touched by


the ball in the hand of a fielder, unless some part of his person be
touching the base he is entitled to occupy; provided, however, that the
ball be held by the fielder after touching him, unless the base-runner
deliberately knock it out of his hand. The ball must be firmly held
by the fielder after touching the runner. The ball cannot be juggled,
even though the fielder may regain possession of the ball and prevent
same from dropping to the ground.
The runner is out at any time when he is touched by the ball in the
hand of a fielder, unless the runner is on the base which he is entitled to
occupy. The ball, however, must be held by the fielder after he has touched
the runner. If the runner deliberately knocks the ball out of the fielder's
hands to avoid being put out, he must be declared out. Note that the rule
states explicitly that the ball cannot be juggled by the fielder.

Sec. 10. If, when a fair or foul hit ball (other than a foul tip as
defined in Rule 39) be legally caught by a fielder, such ball be legally
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 603

RULE 49 —Continued
held by a fielder on the base occupied by the base-runner when such
ball was batted, or the base-runner be touched with the ball in the
hand of a fielder, before he retouch such base after such fair or foul
hit ball was so caught; provided, that the base-runner shall not be out
in such case, if, after the ball was legally caught, it be delivered to
the bat by the pitcher before the fielder hold it on said base, or touch
the base-runner out with it; but if the base-runner, in attempting to
reach a base, detach it from
its fastening before being put out, he
shall be declared safe. A
base-runner who holds his base on a fly
ball shall have the right to advance the moment such fly ball touches
the person or uniform of a fielder.
Means that the runner is out if he cannot get back to the base that he
originally occupied after a foul or fly catch is made and the ball is thrown
to the base ahead of him. For instance, a runner is on second base. The •

ball is batted so hard and so close to the foul line that the runner is sure
It is a safe hit. He starts to run and when he arrives at third base finds
that the ball was caught. Then the ball is thrown to second before he can
return and is held on the base. That retires the runner. A similar condition
prevails at first and third bases. If the runner slides into a base or jumps
Into it and unloosens it from its fastening, he is safe if he is not forced out
or if he has not been touched. He is not compelled to follow the base. The
base-runner shall have the right to advance the moment a fly ball touches
the person or uniform of any fielder. Whether or not the ball is caught or
mufifed, he can try for the next base subject to the rules regarding advanc-
ing on bases.
Sec. 11. If, when the batsman becomes a base-runner, the first
base, or the first and second bases or the first, second and third bases
be occupied, any base-runner so occupying a base shall cease to be
entitled to holdit, and may be put out at the next base in the same

manner as in running to first base, or by being touched with the ball


in the hand of a fielder at any time before any base-runner following
him in the batting order be put out, unless the umpire should decide
the hit of the batsman to be an infield fly according to Section 8 of
Rule 44.
Embraces the much misunderstood "force play." No runner can be
forced on the base paths e.xcept the batsman becomes a base-runner. For
Instance, with runners on, say, all of the bases, the runner on third sud-
denly decides to steal home and the runner on second moves up to third
and touches it. The runner who had been on third, however, decides that
he can not make home safely, and returns to third base. He Is legally en-
titled to do so. while the runner who had come up from second will have
to hurry back to that base the best way he can. Many amateurs think that
the moment the runner on second touches third base, the runner who was
on third becomes "forced" to go to the plate, but he is not. This applies
In like manner to runners on first and second, respectively. The runner Is

always entitled to return to the base he held originally always with the
possibility of being put out by being touched with the ball until that time
when the batsman forces all runners immediately preceding him by becom-
ing a base-runner. If there were three runners on bases when that hap-
pened, all of them necessarily would have to start. The runner on third
base would try to get home, the runner on second would try to get to third.
604 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 49 —Continued
and the runner on first would try to get to second, while the batter would
try to beat the ball to first. His play at bat forced everybody, but not
until the batter starts a force play is there a force play in baseball. In
the event of an infield fly, the umpire is expected to announce "infield fly"
or "outfield fiy," for no other purpose than to kill the "force." When he
says, "batter out," it is an infield fiy and the runners may hold their bases
in safety.

Sec. 12. If a fair hit ball strike him before touching a fielder, and,
in such case, no base by the batsman
shall be run unless necessitated
becoming a base-runner, but no run shall be scored or any other base-
runner be put out until the umpire puts the ball back into play.
The runner is out if he is hit while on fair territory by a batted ball.
The ball is dead. That should not be forgotten. The batter takes his base,
however.

Sec. 13. If, when advancing bases, or returning to a base,


while the ball is in play, he fail to touch the intervening base or
bases, if any, in the regular or reverse order, as the case may be, he
may be put out by the ball being held by a fielder on any base ( includ-
ing home base) he failed to touch, or by being touched by the ball in
the hand of a fielder in the same manner as in running to first base;
provided, that the base-runner shall not be out in such case if the ball
be delivered to the bat by the pitcher before the fielder hold it on said
base or touch the base-runner with it; however, after a fly ball other
than a foul tip as defined in Rule 39 be legally caught by a fielder,
the base-runner who complies with the provisions of this section can
only be retired by the ball being held by a fielder on the base occupied
by the runner when such ball was batted, or by being touched by the
ball in the hand of the fielder as provided in Section 10 of this rule.
If the runner, in trying for a three-base hit, should fail to touch either
firstor second base, he is out if the attention of the umpire is called to the
play, the ball held on the base, or the runner touched with the ball in the
hand of a fielder, and if the umpire saw the omission. In like manner, if
— —
the runner in returning to bases the ball being in play fail to touch the
bases in regular order, if he is called upon to do so because of the play that
is being made, he is out, if the attention of the umpire is called to his trans-
gression, if the umpire saw his failure to do so and the proper play is made.
If the pitcher has delivered the ball to the batter before the claim is made,
the runner may not be called out. It should be noted that the attention of
the umpire must be called to the act of a runner having omitted to touch
a base and the ball must be held on the missed base or the runner touched
by the ball in the hand of a fielder. The umpire is a referee, not a police-
man; and questions of fact are submitted to him for decision in his judicial
capacity.

Sec. 14. If, when


the umpire calls "Play," after the suspension of
a game, he return to and touch the base he occupied when
fail to
"Time" was called before touching the next base; provided, the base-
runner shall not be out, in such case, if the ball be delivered to the

RULE 49 —Continued
bat by the pitcher, before the fielder hold it on said base or touch the
base-runner with it.

Calling "Play" or "Time" is exactly as calling fair or foul, so far as


returning to and touching a base is concerned.
Sec. 15. If, with one out, or none out, and a base-runner on third
base, the batsman interfere with a play being made at home plate.
Gives the umpire a right to call the runner out at third base If there
Is no one out or one out and the batsman interferes with a play that is be-
ing made at home plate. It must be thoroughly understood that if the
runner is called out, the batter may not be called out also.
Sec. 16. he pass a preceding base-runner before such runner
If
has been legally put out he shall be declared out immediately.
A base-runner never should be foolish enough to pass a preceding base-
runner. This seems like an unnecessary warning, but there have been
many instances where base-runners have done so, being ignorant of the rule
against it.
Sec. 17. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the coacher at third
base by touching or holding the runner physically assists him in
returning to or leaving third base. The runner, however, should not
be declared out if no play is being made on him.
The wording of the rule makes it very plain when the runner is and is
not out.

Sec. 18. The base-runner in running to first base may overrun


or overslide said base after touching it in passing without incurring
liability to be put out for being off said base, provided he return at
once and retouch the base, after which he may be put out as at any
other base. If, after overrunning first base, he attempt to run to

second base, before returning to first base, he shall foi-feit such


exemption from liability to be put out.
When the runner goes to first base, after he has finished being a batter,
he may overrun or overslide the base as far as he wishes and turn either to
the right or to the left, but if he should make an apparent effort to go to
second base, when he thus overruns first base, he loses his right to return to
firstbase without exemption from being put out.

Sec. 19. while third base is occupied, the coacher stationed near
If,

that base shall run in the direction of home base on or near the base
line while a fielder is making or trying to make a play on a batted
ball not caught on the fiy, or on a thrown ball, or a fly ball, and
thereby draws a throw to home base, the base-runner entitled to third
base shall be declared out by the umpire for the coacher's inter-
ference with and prevention of the legitimate play.
Warns the coacher at third not to try to fool the players of the team
in the field into making a false throw to head off an apparent runner try-

ing to score. Before the rule was adopted there were some players who made
a specialty of this unsportsmanlike practice.
Sec. 20. one or more members of the team at bat stand or
If
collect at oraround a base for which a base-runner is trying, thereby
confusing the team in the field and adding to the difficulty of making
such play, or if a batsman or base-runner who has just been retired
obstructs or interferes with any following play being made on a base-
runner, the base-runner shall be declared out for the interference of
his team-mate or team-mates.
This rule very plainly tells the players of the side at bat to keep away
from the bases unless they belong there. If a player who has been put out
obstructs or interferes with any following play on a base-runner his team-
mate may be called out.
This Rule 49 ranks with 44 in importance and is not to be passed over
carelessly and is entitled to a full-time study period itself.
A fielder in making a catch must hold the ball after making the catch
as there is no more momentarily held rule in effect. If the fielder drops
the ball in a collision with another fielder or crashes into a wall or fence
he must still hold the ball to make catch legal.
If he falls down after catch he must come up with the ball. It is a
catch if, after making a catch, the fielder in the act of throwing the ball
should drop it and this is a judgment play for the umpire.
An intentionally dropped fly ball should not be confounded with an
infield fly.
An any fair fly ball not called an
intentionally dropped fly applies to
infield fly by the umpire. A not required to tag up on an in-
runner is
tentionally dropped fly ball. On a fly ball coming under the infield fly rule,
the runners are obliged to tag up only if the ball is caught.
Base runner is out if in running to first base after hit or fairly bunted
ball, his bat, either in his possession or free from him, again hits the ball
on fair territory and deflects its course; this is an interference, no bases
can be run and the batter is out.
The ball is in play if the base runner, after fair hit or bunt, drop or
throw his bat {not considered an interference by the umpire) and the ball
rolls up to and hits bat lying on fair ground.
If the batsman while in his box hits a sharp rebounding ball that
strikes him or his bat it is a foul ball.

cases where such player be put out in accordance with
any of these rules, except Section 1 of Rule 44 and Sections 10, 13 and
18 of Rule 49.
An appeal must be made to the umpire when a runner "cuts a base,"
either trying for a long hit or in returning to the base that he held orig-
.in
inally. The umpire may see the failure to touch a base, but he must not
rule on it unless players of the team in the field have been as observant as
he and ask for a ruling. Likewise, if a runner turns toward second base,
after he has passed first base, the attention of the umpire must be called to
it by an opposing player before the runner is declared out. There are times
when the umpire does not observe the runner omitting to touch a base. If
a player of the opposing side asks for the ruling, it is not in the province

of theumpire to declare the runner out if the umpire failed to see the runner
miss the base. If a player fails to return to base after a fly catch the
umpire must not volunteer a decision. The team in the field must make an
appeal to him.

Coaching Rules.
RULE A coacher may
address words of assistance and direction
51 to the base-runners or to the
batsman. He shall not, nor
shall any player or manager, by words or signs, incite or
try to incite the spectators to demonstrations, nor use language
which will in any manner refer to or reflect upon a player of the
opposite club, the umpire or the spectators. Not more than two
coachers, who must be in the uniform of the team at bat, shall be
allowed to occupy the space between the players' and the coachers'
lines, one near first and the other near third base, to coach base-
runners. If there be more than the legal number of coachers or this
rule be violated in any respect the umpire must order the illegal
coacher or coachers to the bench, and if his order be not obeyed
within one minute, the offender or offenders shall be debarred from
further participation in the game, and shall leave the playing field
forthwith.
THE SCaRIXG OF RUIVS.
RULE O^® ^UJ^ shall be scored every time a base-runner, after
52 having legally touched the first three bases, shall legally
touch the home base before three men are put out; pro-
vided, however, that if he reach home on or during a play in which the
third man be forced out or be put out before reaching first base, a run
shall not count; also, if third out is made by preceding runner failing
to touch a base a run shall not count.
The part of Rule 52, which states that no run can score on a play in
which the third man be out before reaching first base, can produce a very
unusual situation, which hardly seems fair, yet is entirely in keeping with
the strict interpretation of the rule. For example: A is on second and B is .

on first and one man out. The batsman hits safely, the runner A from sec-
ond easily crossing the plate on the drive. The runner B originally on first
tries to score but is thrown out at the place in a close play for the second
out. The batsman reaches third base on his hit. However, he fails to touch
first base en route. The ball is thrown to the first basemen, who touches
the base and appeals to the umpire for a ruling. The umpire calls the bats-
man who reaches third on the hit. out for having missed first base. Since
the batter who hit the ball fails to touch first base he never became the
occupant of that bag. When the ball is thrown to that base, an appeal
made and an out declared, it makes the third out, in which the batsman
fails to reach first base. No runs can score on such a happening, hence it
is necessary to void the run that was apparently scored bv the runner A,
originally on second, who crossed the plate at a time when only one man
was out.
When a preceding runner scores on a play in which he fails to touch
608 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 52 —Continued
one of the bases, with none or one out, it shall not affect the status of suc-
ceeding runners who may have scored on the same play. However, if two
are out at the time, and a preceding runner fails to touch a base for the
third out, the runs of any succeeding players who cross the plate on the
same play are voided.

Example Number 1 There are runners on first and second and one out.
Batsman hits a home run inside the park. Runner on second fails to touch
third base on his way to the plate. Ball is thrown to that base and he is
declared out. Runner originally on first and batter who hit the home run,
legally, score on the play.

Example No. 2 There are runners on first and second and two out.
Batsman hits home run inside the park. All three runners cross the plate.
Runner on second fails to touch third en route. He is called out on appeal,
for the third out of the inning. In this case, the other two runs are voided.
The proper thing to do when a base runner misses home plate in the
scoring of a run, always is confusing all around. If the player either is
running or sliding misses the plate and isn't touched by the catcher, he has
a perfect right to try to regain the plate before being touched. However,
if he misses the plate and continues on his way to the bench, the fielder
with the ball can touch the plate and appeal for a ruling and the runner
must be called out. If the runner after missing the plate remains four or
five feet away from it, and the catcher makes an effort to touch him, only
to have the player continue to run in foul territory, the umpire should
immediately call him out. This takes care of the three situations that can
arise from missing home plate.

Definition of a Force Play.


A force-out can be made only when a base-runner legally loses the
right to the base he occupies by reason of the batsman becoming a
base-runner, and he is thereby forced to advance.
Again the "force-out" is brought plainly to attention. A run cannot
be scored the third man out is forced out or is put out before he reaches
if
first base. For instance, three runners are on bases and the batter hits a
slow grounder to the shortstop. Before he gets the ball the runner on third,
who had a good start toward home, is quite up to the plate, but the runner
who was on first is slow and the shortstop throws him out before he Is
able to make second base. The run does not count. The force play does
not necessarily have to be made at third base.
If there is a runner on third and the batter hits the ball to the pitcher,
who fumbles it, and the third baseman recovers it and throws the batter
out at first base, and it is the third out, a run does not score eVen if the
runner on third was over home plate before the ball got to first base. On
the other hand, if the third out should be made at second base, and not on
a force play, and the runner on third should have scored before the put-out
was made, the run does count. Note carefully in this rule that a third-man-
out force play prevents a run from scoring, and that if the batter is the
third out before reaching first base a run cannot score.
Rule 52 is very important as it covers the forced play situation which
causes so much confusion as to whether or not runs do or do not score
but is fully covered in the notes.

The umpire is supposed to have full control of game at all times. To
do his work in a business-like manner and not to indulge other than his
duties call for in conversation with players or spectators. If asked a ques-
tion in the proper manner reply the same way and go about your business.
Hustle and keep your game going as it should and you will be kept busy,
and HUSTLE at all times.
Make your decisions in a clear-cut, decisive manner leaving no doubt
in the minds of the players and spectators as to your being positive you
are right. Do not hurry them nor on the other hand hesitate and give
the impression that there might be some doubt in your mind as to whether
or not you had the play right. Always be in the proper position to see
the play as it really occurs as position is 50 per cent of umpiring. You
cannot call a play properly without a proper view of same. Take nothing
for granted in baseball. Be sure that play is completed and then call it
and then move away.
Refrain from sarcasm to players, spectators or club officials at all
times. Always be courteous and as the league representative uphold the
dignity of that office. Again we say, HUSTLE.
Carry a rule book and do not hesitate to use it if at any time you are
in doubt about the proper interpretation of a rule. GET IT RIGHT, that's
the Idea.

The Umpire-in-Chief
RULE Section 1. The Umpire-in-Chief shall take position back
54 of the catcher; he shall have full charge of and be re-
sponsible for the proper conduct of the game. With
exception of the decisions to be made by the Field Umpire, as
described in Rule 55, the Umpire-in-Chief shall render all the deci-
sions that ordinarily would devolve upon a single umpire, and which
are prescribed for "The Umpire" in these Playing Rules.
Sec. 2. He shall call and count balls and strikes, shall call fair
and foul hits (including a foul tip), and shall make all decisions on
the batsman.
Sec. 3. He shall render base decisions in the following instances:
with a runner on first, he must go to third

base to take a possible decision; (2) with more than one base occu-
pied, he shall, on appeal, decide whether or not a runner on third

being caught between third and home, when more than one base is

plate.
Note the words, "on appeal," in clause 2 of foregoing section.
Section 3 should be well studied by the umpire in order that he may
learn where to place himself when there are runners on the bases.
Sec. 4. The Umpire-in-Chief alone shall have authority to declare
a game forfeited.

The Field llmpire.


RULE Section 1. The Field Umpires shall take such positions
55 on the playing field as in their judgment are best suited
for the rendering of base decisions. They shall render all
decisions at first base and second base, and all decisions at third base
except those to be made by the Umpire-in-Chief in accordance with
Section 3, Rule 54. They shall also have equal authority with the
Umpire-in-Chief in the calling of "balks" on the pitcher, and in
enforcing Section 4, Rule 14, and Section 2, Rule 27, prohibiting the
use of foreign substance on the ball and prohibiting "freak" deliveries.
Sec. 2. They shall aid the Umpire-in-Chief in every manner in
enforcing the rules of the game and, with the exception of declaring
a forfeiture, shall have equal authority with the Umpire-in-Chief in
fining or removing from the game players who violate these rules.
The Field Umpire may not forfeit a game, but he may remove a player
who does not observe the rules. He has authority to rule on balks and
"freak" deliveries.
Umpires should not stop, catch or touch the ball at any time unless they
are positive that there are three out or that the ball is not in play. Let
the players do the playing of the game and to just handle the ball when you
have is the proper way to avoid trouble from this source. ,

IVo Appeal From Decisions Rased on


Umpire^s Judgment.
RULE There shall be no appeal from any decision of any umpire
56 on the ground that he was not correct in his conclusion
as to whether a batted ball was fair or foul, a base-runner
safe or out, a pitched ball a strike or a ball, or on any other play
involving accuracy of judgment, and no decision rendered by him
shall be reversed, except that he be convinced that it is in violation
of one of these rules. The manager or captain only shall have the
right to protest against a decision and seek its reversal on a claim
that it is in conflict with a section of these rules. In case the
manager or captain does seek a reversal of a decision based solely
on a point of rules, the umpire making the decision shall, if he is in

practice is what leads to obnoxious and annoying delay brought about in
direct violation of the rule. Protests on balls and strikes are absurd,
although the Umpire-in-Chief not infrequently calls a ball or a strike which
seems not to have been one. However, his position for judgment is far
better than that of any player except the catcher, and of any spectator, no
matter where the latter may be seated. A Field Umpire may decide wrongly
in the rapidity of play, and when he thinks he may have done so, has
a perfect right to ask the Umpire-in-Chief as to the accuracy of the decision.
The camera has shown that umpires, even the best of them, do make incor-
rect decisions, and has also shown that players, even the best of them, do
make foolish objections.

Duties of Single Umpire.


RULE one umpire be assigned, his duties and jurisdiction
If but
57 and he shall be permitted to
shall extend to all points,
take his stand in any part of the field that in his opinion
will best enable him to discharge his duties.
He may umpire from behind home plate or from behind the pitcher's
plate.
It is a good practice for any and all umpires that can do so to work
a few games alone, so that you may get accustomed to seeing everything
that takes place on the ball field and thus be able to give your partner
aid if he is obliged at any time to ask for it.

Must Not Question Decisions.


RULE Under no circumstances shall a manager, captain or
58 player dispute the accuracy of the umpire's judgment and
decision on a play.
If the captain thinks the umpire has erred in interpretation of the rules
he may appeal to him, but no other player is privileged to do so. The
umpire has the right to remove players for objecting to decisions or behaving
In an ungentlemanly manner, and his authority is absolute.

Clubs Can Xot Change Umpire.


RULE The umpire can not be changed during a championship
59 gfame by the consent of the contesting clubs unless the
official in charge of the field be incapacitated from serv-
ice by injury or illness.

Penalties for Violations of the Roles.


RULE Section In all cases of violation of these rules by
1.

60 player, coach or manager, the penalty shall be prompt


removal of the offender from the game and grounds,
followed by a period of such suspension from actual service in the
club as the president of the league may fix; except, that in event a
pitcher is removed from the game for violation of either Section 4 of
Rule 14, or of Section 3 of Rule 27, he shall be automatically sus-
pended for a period of ten days. In the event of removal of player,
trainer, coach or manager by either umpire, he shall go direct to the
club house and remain there during the progress of the game, or leave
the grounds; and a failure to do so will warrant a forfeiture of the
game by the Umpire-in-Chief.
American and National league rules provide that a player, coach,
trainer or manager removed from the game must leave the field imme-
diately; and after changing to street clothes, he must not take a seat in
the stands adjacent to his club's bench; and if he does so, his suspension
or fine will be doubled.
In the American League a player or manager put out during the first
game of a double-header is also out of the second game. The National
League njles, however, permit a player or manager banished from the first
game to return for the second game.
SEC. 2. The umpire shall assess a fine of $25.00 against (1) the
manager or captain who fails to notify him when one player is sub-
stituted for another; (2) against anyone who
crosses the field in
going to the club house after he has been ordered from the game or
bench. (Persons so removed must go around the playing field.) A
fine of $5.00 shall be assessed against any player or coach who fails
to be seated on his bench within one minute after ordered, to do so
by the umpire.
Sec. In cases where players show their disapproval of decisions
3.

by yelling from the bench, the umpire shall first give warning. If the
yelling continues he shall order the offender or offenders from the
bench; but in event the disturbance is continued and the umpire is
unable to detect the offenders, then he shall clear the bench of all
substitute players; the manager or captain of the team, however, to
have the privilege of sending to the club house for such substitutes as
are actually needed to replace players in the game.

Umpire to Report Violations of the Rules.


RULE The umpire shall within twelve hours after fining or
Ql removing a player from the game, forward to the league
president a report of the penalty inflicted and the cause
therefor.
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 613

League President to I^fotify Player Fined.


RULE Immediately upon being informed by the umpire that a

or player, the league presideht shall notify the person so
fined and also the club of which he is a member; and, in the event
of the failure of the person so fined to pay to the secretary of the
league the amount of said fine within five days after notice, he shall
be debarred from participating in any championship game or from
sitting on a players' bench during the progress of a championship
game until such fine be paid.

A Flagrant Offense.
RULE the offense of any person debarred from the game
When
g3 be of a flagrant nature, such as the use of obscene
language or an assault upon a player, coach, manager or
umpire, the umpire shall within four hours thereafter forward to the
president of the league full particulars.

Materials of the Game.


RULE Before the commencement of a game the umpire shall see
^4 that the rules governing the playing implements and
markings of the field are strictly observed.
American and National league rules provide one umpire is to be at
the park and take charge of the field one hour before game time. It is
his duty to see that the visiting club is allotted the proper time for batting
and fielding practice. During the progress of championship games, all play-
ers of the club at bat must be on the bench, except when they have some
duty to perform, as coacher, base runner, batsman or succeeding batsman.

Ground Rules.
RULE Section In case of spectators overflowing on the play-

ground rules to cover balls batted or thrown into the
crowd, provided such rules be acceptable to the manager or captain
of the visiting club. If the latter object, the umpires shall have full
authority to make and enforce such special rules, and he shall
announce their provisions to the spectators.
Means what the ground rules are not satisfactory to the visit-
it savs. If

rules to govern various conditions of fields vary in different parks

game.

RULE 65 —Contniied
players' bench (whether the ball rebounds into the field or not), or
remains in the meshes of a wire screen protecting the spectators, the
runner or runners shall be entitled to two bases. When a first throw
made by an infielder, the umpire in awarding such bases, shall be
governed by the position of the runner or runners at the time the ball
was pitched; when the throw is made by an outfielder, or is the result
of any following plays or attempted plays, the award shall be
governed by the position of the runner or runners at the time the
last throw was made.
Means that a runner has started to steal and an overthrow as stated
if
is made by an the runner would be privileged to advance two
infielder,
bases from the base he occupied at the time the ball was pitched to the
batsman. If a runner has started to steal with the pitch, and gains the next
base before an outfielder makes such an overthrow, the runner would be
awarded two bases in addition to the base he had advanced after the play
began. If an outfielder has made a perfect throw to another player of his
team and it is the latter's throw that goes into a stand or dugout, the two
bases will be allowed from where the runners were at the time the last
throw was started.
American League regulations provide that when a pitched ball sticks
in the screen or goes into the stands or dugouts, or is touched or carried
from the field by a spectator, the base runners shall be entitled to advance
one base and the ball shall be dead.
Sec. 3. The umpire shall also ascertain from the home manager
or captain whether any other special ground rules are necessary, and
if such be necessary he shall advise the opposing manager or captain

of their scope and see that each is duly enforced, provided they do
not conflict with any of these rules and are acceptable to the man-
ager or captain of the visiting team.

Official Annoiinccments.
RUl/E The umpire shall call "Play" at the hour appointed for
6Q the beginning of a game, announce "Time" at its legal
interruption and declare "Game" at its legal termination.
Prior to the commencement of the game he shall announce the
batteries, and during the progress of the game shall announce each
change of players. In case of an overflow crowd, he shall announce
the special ground rules and he shall also make announcement of any
agreement entered into by the two managers or captains to stop play
at a specified hour.

Suspension of Play.
RULE The umpire shall suspend play for the following causes:
67 Section in the judgment of the umpire, play

should be suspended on account of rain, darkness, or other


cause, he shall note the time of suspension and at the end of thirty

RULE 67 — Contiiiiiod
minutes he shall have authority to terminate the game if the resump-
tion of play be not possible.
Sec. 2. In case of an accident which incapacitates him or a player
from service in the field, or in order to remove from the grounds any
player or spectator who has violated the rules. Provided, that in
case of accident to a player or players in attempting to make a play
on either a batted or a thrown ball, "Time" shall not be called until
in the judgment of the umpire, no further play is possible.
Sec. 3. In suspending play from any legal cause the umpire shall
call "Time"; when he calls "Time" play shall be suspended until he
calls "Play" again, and during the interim no player shall be put out,
base be run or run be scored. "Time" shall not be called by the
umpire until the ball be held by the pitcher while standing in his
position, except in case of accident to a player or umpire.
There no such thing as automatic suspension of play. There are a
is
number of things thatcan happen, which eventually call for suspension of
play, but the proper time for such suspension is determined by the um-
pire in keeping with the rules. There is an erroneous impression that play
is automatically suspended when two players suffer a serious collision, in
which both are rendered unconscious as a result of the contact. It is the
belief of many that the umpire should call time since the players have been
rendered unfit for play. V/hile it may seem inhuman, time cannot be called
until the umpire is of the opinion that no further play is possible. It is
obvious that if umpires called "time" because of injury on the field and
stopped the advancement of runners, that players would be constantly
feigning injury to bring about such a situation. The ball must remain in
play until in the opinion of the umpire no further advancement of runners
Is possible. Then and then only he calls time.
By some private signal umpires should agree upon calling a game on
account of rain or darkness when such conditions arise. Two heads are
better than one.
Umpire can resume play in a drizzle after play has been suspended
If field is, in his judgment, fit for play.
If it is clearing at the end of 30 minutes and it looks as though it might

General Definitions.
RULE Section 1. "Play" the order of the umpire to begin
is

^9 the game or to resume it after its suspension.


Sec. 2. "Time" isthe order of the umpire to suspend
play. Such suspension must not extend beyond the day.
Sec. 3. "Game" is the announcement of the umpire that the game
is terminated.
Sec. 4. An "Inning" is the term at bat of the nine players repre-
senting a club in a game and is completed when three of such players

have been legally put out.

Sec. 5. A "Time
the term at bat of a batsman. It begins
at Bat" is

when he takes his position, and continues until he is put out or


becomes a base-runner. But a time at bat shall not be charged
against a batsman who is awarded first base by the umpire for being
hit by a pitched or on called balls, or
ball, when he makes a sacrifice

hit, or for interference by the catcher.


Atime at bat "not being charged" refers to the score. For instance,
Smith goesto the plate five times and makes three hits, and is given one
if
base on balls, and is hit once by a pitched ball, he is charged officially m
the
the score with three times at bat and credited with three hits, while in
score summary it is stated that he received a base on balls and was hit
once by the pitcher. As batting averages are determined by dividing the
total number of base hits by the total times at bat. to give a "time at
bat
to a batter when he goes to first base on called balls, or ror any
other
reasons stated in the rule, would act as penalty on the batsman, by re-
ducing his batting average, for something for which he was not responsible.
Sec. 6. "Legal" or "Legally" signifies as required by these rules.
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 6)7

TU£ RUIiES OF SCOUII^G.


RULE To promote uniformity in recording championship games
70 the following instructions are outlined for the guidance of
scorers, who are required to conform to their provisions.

The Batsman's Record.


Section l. The
item in the tabulated score, after the player's
first
name and number of times he has been at bat
position, shall be the
during the game, but the exceptions made in Rule 69, Section 5, must
not be included.
Sec. 2. In the second column shall be set down the runs, if any,
made by each player.
Sec. 3. In the third column shall be placed the base hits, if any,
made by each player.
Sec. 4. If, in the last half of the final inning, with the winning run
on base, the batsman drives home that run, credit shall be given him
for as many bases as he touches; that number, however, not to exceed
the number of bases advanced by the runner; except when the bats-
man drives a fair ball out of the playing field, he shall receive credit
for a home run, provided he legally touches each base in proper order.
Be sure that the batter gets a home run when the ball goes out of the
playing field in the last hall of final inning.

The Scoring of Base Hits.


Sec. 5. A
base hit shall be scored in the following cases:
When a fair hit is made, as defined in Rule 37, and the batsman
reaches first base safely.
When a fair hit is partially or wholly stopped by a fielder in
motion, but such player cannot recover himself in time to field the
ball to first before the batsman reaches that base, or to some other
base in time to force out another runner.
WTien the ball is hit with such force to an infielder or pitcher that
he cannot handle it in time to put out the batsman or force out a
base-runner; except when the ball is recovered by another fielder in
time to retire the batsman or force out a base-runner. In case of
doubt over this kind of hit, a base hit should be scored and the fielder
be exempted from the charge of an error.
When the ball is hit so slowly toward a fielder that he cannot
handle it in time to put out the batsman or force out a base-runner.
In all cases where a base-runner is retired by being hit by a batted
ball, unless batted by himself, the batsman should be credited with
618 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 70 —Continued
a base hit, except if the runner is hit by an infield fly, the play shall
be scored as provided in Section 8 of Rule 44.
When a batted ball hits the person or clothing of the umpire, as
defined in Rule 46, Section 6.
In no case shall a base hit be scored when a base-runner is forced
out by the play.
When a fielder, after handling a batted ball, elects to try to retire
a base-runner instead of the batter, the play is known as a "fielder's
choice." In case the runner is retired, or would be retired but for an
error, the batter shall be charged with a time at bat, but no hit. If
the runner is not retired, and no error is made, the batter shall be
charged with a time at bat, but no hit, provided he swung at the ball,
and shall be credited with a sacrifice hit, provided he bunted the ball;
if, however, in the judgment of the scorer the batter could not have

been retired at first base by perfect fielding, he shall be credited with


a base hit.
In event of a batsman oversliding second or third bases and being
tagged by the opposing fielder when said batsman is attempting to
stretch a single into a two-base hit or a two-base hit into a three-base
hit, the play should be scored the same as when a base-i^unner
attempts to steal, overslides the base and is tagged out. In other
words, the batsinan oversliding second base and is tagged out shall
be credited only with a single, while one who overslides third base
and is tagged out shall be credited only with a two-base hit.

Sacrifice Hits.
Sec. 6. Sacrifice hits shall be placed in the Summary.
Asacrifice hit shall be credited to the batsman who, when no one
is out or when but one man is out, advances a runner a base by a
bunt hit, which results in the batsman being put out before reaching
first, or would so result if it were handled without error.

'
EXPLANATION —Eliminates sacrifice hit on a fly ball.

Fielding Records
Sec. 7. The number if any, put out by each player
of opponents,
shall be set down column. When the batsman is called
in the fourth
out by the umpire for an illegally batted ball, or for a foul third
strike bunt, or for being hit by own batted ball, or for interference
-

BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 619

RULE 70 —Continued
with the catcher, or for faiUng to bat in proper turn, the put-out
shall be credited to the catcher. When a base-runner is declared out
on an put-out shall be credited to the player who would
infield fly, the
Jiave made the play except for the action of the runner or the
announcement of the umpire. When a base-runner is declared out
because of being hit by a batted ball, the put-out shall be credited to
the fielder nearest to the bail at the time of the occurrence.
Sec. 8. The number of times, if any, each player assists in putting
out an opponent shall be set down in the fifth column. One assist and
no more shall be given to each player who handles the ball in aiding
in a run-down or any other play of the kind, even though he complete
the play by making the put-out.
Credit an assist to each player who handles and throws the ball in
such a way that a put-out would have resulted except for the error
of a team-mate.
Credit an assist to a player who, by deflecting a batted ball with his
glove or any part of his body, aids in retiring the batsman or another
base-runner.
Do not credit an assist to a fielder who makes a bad throw, even
when a runner trying to advance on it is subsequently retired. A
play that follows an error is a new play and the player making an
•error is not entitled to an assist unless he takes part in the new play.
Do not credit an assist to the pitcher when, in legally delivering
the ball to the batsman, he helps to retire a runner attempting to
steal home.
Assists should be credited to every player who handles the ball in
the play which results in a base-runner being called "out" for inter
:ference or for running out of line.

A double play shall mean any two continuous put-outs that take
place between the time the ball leaves the pitcher's hands until it is
returned to him again standing in the pitcher's box.

Errors.
Sec. 9. error shall be given in the sixth column for each mis-
An
play which prolongs the time at bat of the batsman or prolongs the
life of the base-runner or allows a base-runner to make one or more
toases when perfect play would have insured his being put out. But
620 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 70 —Continued
a base on balls, a base awarded to a batsman by being struck by ai
pitched ball, a balk, a passed ball or a wild pitch (unless the batsman
reach first base on such pitch), shall not be included in the sixth
column.
An error shall not be charged against the catcher for a wild throw
in an attempt to prevent a stolen base, unless the base-runner
advance an extra base because of the error.
An error shall not be scored against the catcher or an infielder who-
attempts to complete a double play, unless the throw be so wild that
an additional base be gained. This, however, does not exempt from
an error a player who drops a thrown ball when by holding it he-
would have completed a double play.
In case a base-runner advance a base through the failure of a base-
man to stop or try to stop a ball accurately thrown to his base the-
latter shall be charged with an error and not the player who made-
such throw, provided there was occasion for it If such throw be
made to second base the scorer shall determine whether the second
baseman or shortstop shall be charged with an error.
In event of a fielder dropping a fly but recovering the ball in time
to force a runner at another base, he shall be exempted from an error,
the play being scored as a "force-out."
An error, but not a passed ball, shall be charged to the catcher if
he drops or misses a third strike, allowing the batsman to reach first
base. Credit the pitcher with a strike-out.
An error shall be charged to the first baseman (or the pitcher or
second baseman when covering first base) if, on receiving a throw in
ample time to retire the batsman he does not touch first base as
required by rule. The same rule shall be followed with respect to any
fielder covering any other base on a force play.

Stolen Bases.
Sec. 10. A stolen base shall be credited to the base-runner when-
ever he advances a base unaided by a base hit, a put-out, a fielding or
a battery error, subject to the following exceptions:
In event of a double or triple steal being attempted, where any
runner is thrown out, no other runner shall be credited with a stolen
base.
In event of a base-runner being touched out after sliding over a-
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK 621

RULE 70 —Continued
base, he shall not be regarded as having stolen the base in question.
In the event of a palpable muff of a ball thrown by the catcher,
when, in the judgment of the scorer, the base-runner would have been
•out if the ball had been held, the infielder making the muff shall be
charged with an error and the base-runner shall not be credited with
a stolen base.
No stolen base shall be credited to a runner whose advancing
results from the opposing team's indifference thereto.
In other words, when runners are deliberately permitted to circle
around the bases because the team at bat cannot conceivably win, there
are no stolen bases. If a runner steals a base and the catcher evidently
refuses to throw fearing that the runner may score from third, a stolen
base should be credited, in fairness to the runner who makes the catcher
"show his hand."

Definition of Wild Pitch and Passed Ball.


Sec. 11. A
wild pitch is a legally delivered ball, so high, low or
wide of the plate that the catcher cannot or does not stop and control
it with ordinary effort, and as a result the batsman reaches first base

or a base-runner advances.
Any pitched ball that strikes the ground before reaching the home
plate and passes the catcher, allowing runners to advance, shall be
scored as a wild pitch.
When a batsman is hit by what would have been the fourth called
ball, it shall be scored as a "hit by pitcher."
The catcher shall be charged with a passed ball when a base-runner
is enabled to advance by the catcher's failure to hold or to
control a
legally delivered ball that should have been held or controlled with
ordinary effort.

Definition of Run Earned Off Pitcher.


Sec. 12. run earned off the pitcher shall be scored every time
A
a player reaches home base by the aid of safe hits, sacrifice hits,
stolen bases, put-outs, bases on balls, hit batsman, wild pitches or
balks, even though the wild pitch be a third strike, before
fielding

•chances have been offered to retire the team. The preceding pitcher,

and not a relieving pitcher, shall be charged with runs scored by any
runners on base when such relief pitcher entered the game. The
reheving pitcher shall not be charged with his first batsman reaching
first base if such batsman had any advantage because
of poor pitch-
622 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK

RULE 70 —Continued
ing by the preceding pitcher. With the count two or three balls and
one or no strikes, or three balls and two strikes, charge preceding
pitcher if batsman reaches first base, but credit relieving pitcher if
batsman is retired. With count one or two balls and two strikes,,
charge relieving pitcher if batsman reaches first base and credit him if
batsman is retired.
The pitcher shall be given the benefit of doubt whenever fielding
errors are made and in determining the base to which a runner
should have been held with perfect support on part of fielders. A
fielding errormade by the pitcher shall be considered the same as any
other fielding error. No run can be earned that scores as result of
batsman having reached first base on a catcher's interference, a field-
ing error or passed ball; nor can any run be earned after the fielding
team has failed to accept chances offered to retire the team at bat.
To determine the pitcher's percentage for the season, the total
number of runs earned off his pitching shall be divided by the total
number of innings he has pitched; then multiplied by nine, to find his:
average effectiveness for a complete game.
s

Definition of Runs Ratted In.


Sec. 13. Runs Batted In are runs scored on safe hits (including
home runs), sacrifice hits, outfield put-outs,
put-outs, and.
infield
when the run is forced over by reason of batsman becoming a base-
runner. With less than two out, if an error is made on a play on.
which a runner from third would ordinarily score, credit the batsman,
with a Run Batted In.
The batsman shall not be credited with driving in a run when a
runner scores as he hits into a force double play or a double
infield
play in which the first baseman picks up a fair hit ground ball,
touches first base and then throws to second retiring the runner who
had been on first, said runner not being forced, has to be tagged out.

Tlie Summary.
RULE The Summary shall contain:

How to Determine Percentages.


1. To determine the percentage of Games Won and Lost, divide

the total number of games won and lost into the number won.
2. To determine Batting Averages, divide the total "Times at Bat"
into the total number of base hits, but never into the total bases on
hits.
3. To determine Fielding Averages, divide the total of put-outs,
assists and errors into the total of put-outs and assists.
In all cases where the remaining fraction is one-half or over, a full
point is added to the average.

PLANNING NIGHT BASEBALL?


BE SURE TO GET ENGINEERED LIGHTING
BASEBALL PLAYERS and fans today insist on shadow-
free, high-intensity lighting for fast, errorless play. General
Electric answers with engineered lighting.
Engineered lighting provides high-speed vision without glaring
brightness or confusing shadows. This means your lighting
system must be designed for the specific job. G-E engineers
combine their long-range application experience in professional-
league lighting to give you the latest technique of light for
seeing — and economy.
The latest contribution to engineered lighting is the Type L-69
floodlight, now available with narrow-, medium-, and wide-beam
reflectors. It offers long-needed glare suppression; exact control
of the projected light; improved efficiency; quick, easy instal-
lation and maintenance.


Engineered lighting whether for your present system or a new

one is available through our nearest G-E office. Or, write to
General Electric, Schenectady, N. Y.
