STANDING- ON APR. MA
American League Pennant Race of '45
By FREDERICK G. LIEB
AFTER LOSINGthe 1944 pennant to the St. Louis Browns by a single

game on the last day of the season, Detroit again went to the final day
of the 1945 campaign before the issue was decided, with better results
for the Tigers, who won their seventh flag by a game and a half mar-
gin over a stubborn Washington club. With Detroit leading the Senators by
one game, and the Tigers trailing the Browns by 3 to 2 in the ninth inning
in the rain and mud of the final game, September 30, at Sportsman's Park,
Hank Greenberg, the returned Army Air Forces captain, hit a grand slam
homer into the left field bleachers, clinching the flag for his team.
Here was the situation on the final day: Detroit Had won 87 games and
lost 65; Washington, which had finished its season a week earlier, had 87
victories and 67 defeats. As the result of a rainy day postponement on Sat-
urday, September 29, the Tigers were scheduled to wind up with a double-
header with the Browns. One Tiger victory would give Steve O'Neill the
pennant, but if St. Louis won both games, it would tie up the race. Wash-
ington had sent four players, including Pitcher Roger Wolff, to Detroit, and the
entire team was packed for a trip to Tigerville for a possible playoff game,
October 1.
Due to rain, the first game of the scheduled twin-bill at St. Louis was
started an hour late and played in a drizzle. A second game was started,
but it was called after half an inning. Even without rain, darkness would
have prevented more than two innings of play, as St. Louis had gone off
war time a few days earlier. Had the Tigers lost the opener, they still
would have limped in by a half game, but Greenberg's homer saved them
from being known as the "Umbrella Champions."
Detroit won the 1945 championship with the lowest percentage in
American League history, .575, three points under the .578 mark that won
for the Browns of 1944. O'Neill's percentage was four points better than it
was the year before. In each season he won 88 games; in 1944 he lost 68
games to 67 defeats in 1945.
If Detroit got a real thrill out of its first pennant in five years, with a
near record attendance of 1,280,341 shouting its approval, the fans of the
nation at large got their big boot out of the valiant fight of the Washington
club to climb from the cellar to pennant heights in one season. The feat
had been accomplished only once in big league history, the Louisville club
of the old major American Association advancing from eighth in 1889 to
first in 1890. However, like the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League,
the Senators could get close to the top, frequently as near as a half game,
but couldn't quite nudge into the front seat. The only time they were in
first place was after the opening games of April 17, when four clubs were
tied for the lead. Some of the edge was taken off the race by the unusual
schedule; in the final week the Senators had to sit on their hands, watch
the scoreboard and pray for Detroit defeats. With a tailender in 1944, and
never dreaming he had a pennant hope, Griffith arranged with the schedule
makers to have his card closed September 23, thus enabling him to rent
his park for football.
After St. Louis, New York, Washington and Chicago won their first
games on April 17, the Browns and Senators both were defeated on the
second day, leaving the Yanks and White Sox tied for the lead. This tie
existed three days, but Saturday, April 21, Chicago took the lead by being
rained out while the Senators defeated the Yankees. The surprising White
Sox led the pack until May 12, when the Yanks sniffed first place air for
a day. However, on the 13th, the White Sox bounced right back again, de-
feating Washington twice while New York split with Cleveland. On the
18th, the hustling Dykesmen lost the lead to New York for a few hours,
dropping an afternoon game to Boston, but seesawed right back when the
Browns downed the Yanks in a nocturnal contest.
The Sox then hung on until May 25, when New York defeated Chicago
at Yankee Stadium and the Yankees began their longest occupancy of first
place. The Tigers, never far away, moved into the lead for the first time r
June 8, but New York regained the heights, June 10. Defeating St. Louis
on the 12th, while the Yankees lost to Washington, Detroit took the lead again
and held it to the finish, though on June 27 the Tigers were tied by New York.
Washington showed little early promise, and in late May and the first
half of June, the Senators rode seventh class. The men from the capital
then enjoyed a remarkable second western trip, and leaped from seventh
to second. After moving into the runner-up spot, July 5, the Senators held
the position to the end of the season with the exception of a few days
in late July. At that time, the club bounded back and made history by
winning nine games out of ten in five successive double-headers, August
1 to 5, inclusive. That drive carried them to within a half game of Detroit. A
number of times afterward, the Senators again were that close to the Ti-
gers, and in early September, they crushed a Brown uprising by defeating
the 1944 champions in five out of six games. They were within half a game
of the lead when they met Detroit for the last time, but the Tigers swept
a double-header, September 15, in Washington and won the series, three
games out of five. The courageous Senators never quite could make up
for the loss of that set.
The winning Detroit team was called the "nine old men," but they held
together long enough to win a pennant and a World's Series. Newhouser,
bellwether of the 1944 pitching flock, again showed the way with 25 vic-
tories. Dizzy Trout, bothered with a lame back, wasn't quite as effective
as in 1944, but on Detroit's last eastern trip, Diz was magnificent, going in
nearly every day. The club, no doubt, would have won fairly easily but
for a broken leg suffered by Alton Benton, back from the Navy, in June.
Previously, Al had been almost unhittable, but when he tried to come back
later in the season, he wasn't the same pitcher. Stubby Overmire had occa-
sional flashes of brilliance, and the club made a lucky waiver pick-up by
getting the veteran relief pitcher, George Caster, from the Browns.
However, the man who made the Detroit pennant possible was the
34-year-old slugging star, Hank Greenberg, who came back to the club,
July 1, after an absence of four years in service. Hank started in with
a homer, and finished the league season with another. He made up for
the loss of Dick Wakefield, Tiger outfield star, who was back in service.
Eddie Mayo, the second baseman, was a sparkplug; the veteran Paul Rich-
ards did an inspired job behind the plate, and Skeeter Webb, Steve O'Neill's
son-in-law, though hitting only .199, fielded like a Donie Bush. Though
Roger Cramer was a tired player in the World's Series, there were times
during the regular season when he played with all his long-time brilliance.
Washington's strength was largely in its fine pitching staff, which was
expertly maneuvered by the former Senator third baseman, Ossie Bluege.
The man chiefly responsible for the Nationals' surprising one-year climb
was the veteran knuckleballer, Roger Wolff, acquired the year previous in
the deal for Bobo Newsom. From a four-game winner with the Senators in
1944, Roger increased his victory total to 20 with Washington in 1945. Leon-
ard, Haefner and Pieretti, the last named drafted from Portland, rounded out
a powerful quartette. The Venezuelan, Carrasquel, turned in his usual good
relief work, and Niggeling had a few strong games left in him, though he
closed with a seven and 12 record.
The Browns, 1944 champions, succeeded in beating out the Yankees for
third place by half a game. Though spending much of the season in the
second division, a good part of the time in seventh place, the St. Louisans
never fell so far back that a spurt would not put them into the thick of
the fighting.
Dick Muckerman, a St. Louis business man and former minority stock-
holder, acquired Don Barnes' interest in the club, August 10, and though
it may have been only a coincidence, the change in control was the signal
for an immediate rise in the team's fortunes. In seventh place, nine games
behind, when Muckerman took over, by Labor Day the Browns were third,
trailing by only three and one-half games. However, the club then blew
its pennant chances by dropping eight out of ten to Washington and the
Athletics. Later, the Browns came back in New York, and by winning four
games out of six, got into position to grab third-place money.
By finishing fourth, the Yankees wound up in their lowest spot in Joe
McCarthy's 15 years at the helm, and in their worst position since the 1925
Bronx Bombers stumbled home seventh. McCarthy was ill during part of
the season, but Coach Art Fletcher, later the victim of a heart attack, did a
good pinch-managing job. The loss of Outfielder Johnny Lindell to the Army
in mid- June hurt the club; Ernie Bonham had an off-season, and if Hank Bo-
rowy had pitched as well for New York as he did for the Cubs, he might have
won Larry MacPhail a pennant. A feature of the club's late-season play
was the form displayed by Ruffing, Keller and Chandler, returned servicemen.
Cleveland, with a fairly good team, got off to a slow start, put in the
first month in the cellar, and trailed seventh until late July, when the
club showed marked improvement and fought its way into the race. How-
ever, the Indians then received a damaging blow in an injury to their live-
wire shortstop and manager, Lou Boudreau, who fractured an ankle in Au-
gust and was out for the remainder of the season. The club eventually
wound up fifth, the position it had occupied jointly with the Athletics on the
last day of the 1944 season. Conspicuous in the play of the Cleveland club was
the pitching of Steve Gromek, who won 19 games. Bob Feller won five
games out of eight after returning from the Navy.
After the strong start of the White Sox, the club's sixth-place finish proved
disappointing. Early in the season, the team was held up by good pitching
and the strong hitting of the 37-year-old former National League third base-
man, Tony Cuccinello. The club's percentage also was helped by its re-
markable knack of capturing Sunday double-headers at Comiskey Park.
The club swept eight of these home Sabbath twin-bills before breaking even
with the Athletics, August 12. However, the Sor' inherent weakness even-
tually pulled them down to sixth.
The Red Sox also had a trying season. Losing their first eight games,
Joe Cronin's charges pulled themselves together, climbed up the stand-
ing, and during much of June and July they held third place. As late as
July 15, they were only two and one-half games off the pace and were be-
lieved to have a real pennant chance. The club was held up in that period
by the amazing pitching of Dave Ferriss, a discharged soldier with no ma-
jor league experience, who had chalked up 17 victories by August. Fer-
riss is subject to an asthma condition, which usually manifests itself in
August, and in the last two months the young star won only four additional
games. As Dave stopped piling up the victories, the Red Sox slid down the
ladder and tumbled to seventh.
Tying Cleveland for fifth place in 1944 was something of a feather in
Connie Mack's cap, after four successive tail-enders, but Connie's Athletics
slipped back to the cellar in 1945. The A's had a brief flurry in April, win-
ning six of their first eight games, including a run of five straight. On
April 27, they were in second place, but the club soon came down to its level.
By May 23, the A's hit bottom, and stayed there for the balance of the race.
Mack's club suffered from a weak outfield, Shortstop Busch's failure to live
up to his 1944 promise and a shortage of pitchers. Russ Christopher held up
for the first half of the season, winning 11 while losing only two through
June 17, but he finished with a 13-13 record. Buck Newsom pitched bet-
ter ball than his record of eight wins against 20 defeats indicates.

STANDING- ON Af
National League Pennant Race of '45
BREAKINGCubs,
through the Cardinals' three-year pennant
led by Charlie Grimm, won a stubbornly
monopoly, the
Chicago contested cham-
pionship in which their toughest opponents were the still dangerous
Redbirds. In fact, the second-place St. Louisans, carrying the fight to
the next to last day of the 1945 season, gained considerable solace by defeating
the Cubs on the year's series, 16 games to six. There is no parallel of a major
league championship club losing a series to a rival by so substantial a margin.
Despite the fact the Cubs lost their series to the former champions in
such one-sided fashion, the Chicago pennant victory was well deserved. It
meant that the Cubs had to play that much better against the other clubs,
and their eventual success was made possible by a 21-1 margin over the
seventh-place Reds, a team which was a tough nut for St. Louis to crack
all season.
flag was the first won by the Cubs since 1938 and the sixteenth in
The
the long history of the Chicago National League club, establishing a new
major league record. Unfortunately for Chicago's loyal clientele, the Cubs
were plagued by their usual World's Series jinx and suffered their seventh suc-
cessive Series reverse in the October post-season games with the Detroit
Tigers.
The Cubs never were dislodged once they took the lead on July 8, al-
though the Cardinals shaved the Chicago margin to a game and a half as
late as September 26, the final Wednesday of the season. By winning nine
out of 12 games in four gold-studded series in Chicago and St. Louis in late
August and September, the Redbirds kept the race tight. Chicago's even-
tual winning margin was three games.
Oddly enough, the Cardinals, who led throughout the 1944 season, and the
Braves and the lowly Phillies were the only clubs which never were first,
or tied for first, in 1945. The Giants, Pirates and Dodgers all took turns in
leading the pack during the spring and early summer, but as early as April
28, the Cubs pushed into first place for a day.
After the opening day games of April 17, the Giants, Reds, Cubs and
Dodgers were in a first-place tie. Brooklyn fell back on the 18th, and the
Giants took undisputed possession of the front seat on the 19th, despite split-
ting a double-header with the Dodgers. Thanks to an opening rush that
netted five wins in the first six games, New York set the pace until April
28, when the Cubs moved into first place for a day. By a strange freak of
percentage the Giants lost on the 29th, but regained the lead as Pittsburgh
was winning a double-header from the Cubs. The Giants, giving New York
a real thrill, then ran first until June 14; during the better part of this time,
New York's stormy rival, Brooklyn, was the runner-up.
On June 14, the Giants lost to Brooklyn while the Pirates twice dumped
the Cubs in another twin-bill, and Frisch's Buccaneers rose to the top. On
the 16th, the Pirates had to divide first place with New York, but on the
17th, Brooklyn hurdled into the lead by dividing a double-header with the
Braves while the Giants and Pirates were dropping twin-bills. At the end
of that day's play, the Dodgers led the Giants and Pirates by a game and
St. Louis by a game and a half. It then generally was believed the Cardinals
had found themselves, and soon would outdistance the field. However, Brook-
lyn set the pace for the next three weeks, and when the Dodgers were dis-
lodged, July 8, it was the Cubs, after showing little early consistency, who
sprang out in front. And though Grimm's lead fluctuated at various times,
from seven and a half games to one and a half, the Cubs, scenting World's
Series money, never let go.
By July 13, the Cardinals had moved into second place, and they clung
to the runner-up position as persistently as the Cubs did to the top perch.
Much of the fireworks came in those late-season Cub-Cardinal games. Trail-
ing by five and a half games when they went to Chicago, August 24, the
Cards whittled the lead to two and a half games by sweeping the series, 1 to
0, 3 to 1 and 5 to 1. In a pre-Labor Day series in St. Louis, the Birds won
three games out of four from Grimm's athletes, again cutting the Cub lead to
two games. But Chicago quickly regained this lost ground on Labor Day,
twice defeating the Reds while St. Louis dropped a pair to Pittsburgh.
It then was nip and tuck until the clubs met in another three-game
series at Sportsmen's Park, September 18, 19 and 20. The Cubs won one
game out of the set, enough to enable them to depart with a two-game
margin. By the time the Cards invaded Chicago again, for their final two-
game series, September 25 and 26, the Cub lead was down to a game and a
half. Though outhit, 14 to nine, the Cubs staggered through to a most impor-
tant 6 to 5 win on the 25th, which put Grimm in the driver's seat, even
though St. Louis slugged out an 11 to 6 triumph the next day. The Cards then
lost a vital twice-transferred game in Pittsburgh, September 27, while the
Cubs twice bowled over their pet victims, the Reds. The day's results left
Chicago with the assurance of nothing worse than a tie. Neither contender
played the next day, but the Cubs clinched the pennant on Saturday, Sep-
tember 29, by winning the first game of a double-header from the Pirates.
The Chicago champions were not much different from the 1944 club,
which lost 13 of its first 14 games, and finished fourth with a .487 percentage
after Grimm, relieving Jimmie Wilson, rallied the disorganized forces. The
1945 club was fortunate enough to get Outfielder Peanuts Lowrey and
Catcher Mickey Livingston back from the service, and Jimmy Gallagher,
Chicago general manager, made a highly advantageous midseason pick-up
when he acquired Hank Borowy, the former Yankee pitching star, in a
$100,000 "waiver deal" on July 27. Without Borowy, Chicago could not have
triumphed, as Hank won 11 out of 13 games after joining the club, including
all three late-season Cub victories over the Cardinals.
The club also profited by the inspired play of First Baseman Phil Cavar-
retta, the new batting champion; the continued brilliant performance of
the third base veteran, Stan Hack; the improvement of the young center
fielder, Andy Pafko, and steady pitching by Claude Passeau, Hank Wyse
and Ray Prim. The veteran Paul Derringer also delivered important vic-
tories early in the season. Grimm's triumph, however, was made more diffi-
cult by the season-long slump of Right Fielder Bill Nicholson, home run
and runs-batted-in leader of 1943-44.
Inability to beat the lowly teams at the foot of the standing with any
consistency cost the Cardinals their fourth straight pennant. Where the
St. Louisans won 57 and lost 31 for a .646 percentage against the Cubs, Dod-
gers, Pirates and Giants, they won only 38 and lost 28 against the sixth-
place Braves, seventh-place Reds and tailend Phillies. Against these same
three trailers, Chicago won 53 games and lost only 13 for an .803 percentage.
Billy Southworth, Cardinal chieftain, again lost heavily to the services,
Outfielders Stan Musial and Danny Litwhiler being inducted before the sea-
son opened, and the crack battery, Max Lanier and Walker Cooper, shortly
after the campaign got underway. Furthermore, Billy also was plagued by
wholesale injuries and a succession of sore arms on his pitching staff. Ted
Wilks, star freshman hurler of 1944, was almost useless.
The St. Louis club had early-season salary difficulties with the Cooper
brothers battery, after both had signed contracts. After Pitcher Mort Coo-
per left the club twice, he was disposed cf to the Boston Eraves, May 23, for
Pitcher Charles (Red) Barrett and $60,000. Barrett proved a fine pick-up,
winning 23 games (21 with St. Louis), and he was the hardest-worked pitcher
in the league. Ken Burkhart, a freshman from the Columbus farm, also
did well, with 18 victories against eight defeats.
Brooklyn, which barely escaped the cellar in 1944, enjoyed a sensational
rise from seventh place to third. Moreover, the Dodgers' 22-day sojourn in
firstplace in June and early July, during most of which period Brooklyn
was at home, provided some of the real fireworks of a hectic season.
After being dislodged from the lead, the Dodgers never dropped any lower
than third. Among the reasons for Brooklyn's four-position leap was Goody
Rosen's .325 batting average, the great improvement by Pitcher Hal Gregg,
and Manager Leo Durocher's skillful handling of his young pitchers. Though
Dixie Walker, the 1944 batting leader, dropped 57 points in his average, he
led both leagues in driving in runs with 124.
The Pirates, who closed the 1944 season strongly, even taking the sea-
son's series from the powerful Cardinals, were one of the disappointments
of the 1945 race. After leading for a few days in June, the team stumbled
badly around the Fourth of July holidays, ran fifth for the greater part of
the summer months, and barely managed to make the first division in late
September. For some reason, Frankie Frisch's team looked better on paper
than on the field. While he came up with two of the best new players of
1945 in Catcher Salkeld and Outfielder Gionfriddo, such veterans as Elliott,
Russell and Dahlgren suffered batting slumps, Pitcher Rip Sewell lost his for-
mer effectiveness, and Lefty Gerheauser, acquired from the Phillies in the
trade for Vince DiMaggio, proved a disappointment.
After rising from the cellar in 1943 to fifth in 1944, the New York Giants
seemed headed for better things in 1945, but after leading every Monday
morning from the start of the season to June 18, and running in the first
division practically all season, the New Yorkers again had to be satisfied
with their '44 berth. Enjoying a fine spring and early summer, Manager
Ott, hitting over .300 for the first time in six years, kept the Giants in the
race with the power of his bat. But as Mel's 36-year-old legs tired, the
Giant percentage sagged with him. Inability of Pitcher Bill Voiselle, despite
winning his first eight decisions, to equal his great freshman season of 1944
also contributed to holding the Giants down.
Though the Braves eventually wound up in sixth place, for a time the
club was a real threat and Boston even had dreams of the Braves putting
on a miracle show after the fashion of Stallings' performance of 1914. While
the club ran in the second division, it was in sixth place with an even .500
percentage, only seven games out of the top berth, as late as July 12. Any
kind of a drive could have sent the Braves into the thick of the race; in-
stead, they went into reverse and as they came crashing down, Bob Cole-
man was unhorsed as manager and Coach Del Bissonette appointed to his
place. The team's early promise was due to the sparkling all-round play
of Outfielder Tommy Holmes and the center field performance of Carden
Gillenwater. The Boston club eventually folded up because of the collapse
of what on paper looked like a strong pitching staff. After getting off to a
good start in Boston, Mort Cooper was sidelined in August with an arm
operation. Jim Tobin was sold to the Tigers, Andrews and Javery had to be
disciplined, with Nate finally being released to the Reds.
Outside of a few days in April, when they were tied for the lead, the
Reds gave their followers little cause for enthusiasm, and Cincinnati had
a disappointing season, both in percentage and at the gate. The team wound
up a poor seventh. After further service losses, including the durable catcher,
Ray Mueller, Bill McKechnie had a weak club, but it became even weaker
when Bucky Walters suffered after-effects from his USO tour to the French
and Belgian battle fronts the preceding winter, and Shortstop Eddie Miller
was out for weeks with a fractured kneecap.
After rising to seventh in 1943, and finishing eighth with the fairly re-
spectable tailend percentage of .399 in '44, the Phillies reverted to type and
dug deep into the cellar in 1945, winding up with a percentage of .299 —
loss of 100 points, 52 games off the pace. However, Ben Chapman, the new
manager, made some improvement, for when he relieved Freddy Fitzsimmons,
June 29, the Phillies had won only 17 games and lost 51 for a .250 percentage.

QUINN LEAVES MAJORS FOR PROMOTIONAL POST
One of the game's grandest old-timers stepped out of Organized Base-
ball, November 30, 1945, when J. A. Robert Quinn, for many years a major
league executive, resigned his post as director of the Boston Braves' farm
clubs to accept a position as baseball promotion director for the Wilson
Sporting Goods Company of Chicago and New York.
Quinn, president of the Braves from 1936 to 1944, retired from his post
as general manager of the Boston club on his seventy-fifth birthday, Febru-
ary 14, 1945, in favor of his youngest son, John Quinn. The elder Quinn
then took over the direction of the Braves' minor league properties.
A native of Columbus, O., Quinn was a semi-pro catcher in the Co-
lumbus area and occasionally "helped out" Otterbein College behind the
bat when Ernest S. Barnard, later president of the American League, was
athletic director there. Quinn then caught for a number of minor league
clubs, serving some as playing manager.
In 1900, Quinn, Barnard and Jack Ryder, later a top-ranking Cincinnati
baseball writer, started a campaign to put Columbus back on the baseball
map for the 1901 season. They raised $2,500 to purchase a franchise in the
old Western Association.
Columbus was admitted to the newly-formed, modern American Asso-
ciation, and Quinn's able handling of this club as executive business man-
ager won him nation-wide attention. His Columbus club, with Derby Day
Bill Clymer as manager and Quinn running the executive office, won Co-
lumbus pennants in 1905-06-07.
When Branch Rickey left the Browns to accept the presidency of the
Cardinals late in 1916, the late Phil Ball offered Quinn the vice-presidency
of the Browns. Quinn's seven seasons with the St. Louis Americans, in
which the 1922 club lost the pennant to the Yankees by a single game, were
the most fruitful of his career.
After the 1923 season, Quinn, in association with Palmer Winslow, a
millionaire glass manufacturer, purchased the Red Sox, with Bob serving
as president. Quinn held the Red Sox executive post until 1932. when the
club was sold to Tom Yawkey. Bob was business manager of the Red Sox*
Reading farm team for the season of 1933, but returned to the majors
as business manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. After two years he resigned
his Brooklyn post to take over the presidency of the Braves in 1936.

CHAPTER I.
POVERTY'S CHILD— A BLEAK BEGINNING
rUST AS was the case in all the
large cities, small towns and ham-
J lets of the land, there was cause
for celebration in the sultry little
Kentucky town of Corydon, July 14,
1898. At Corydon, the little old man
with the green eyeshade touched off
the celebration. He was working in
an amber cone of light in the local
telegraph office. Nothing much was
astir when
the cricket clatter of his
instrument brought the news.

That night practically the whole

population of Corydon's 600 hard-
working and home-spun humans con-
gregated on the town's dusty little main
stem and talked over the latest re-
ports. Smith Roger's grocery, with
its generous width of wooden steps,
was a popular meeting place. So was

the county weekly came around a cou-
ple of days later that they learned of another happening. Under "Births,"
in an inconspicuous line of type, it read: "Joseph S. and Callie Saunders
Chandler (boy), July 14, at Corydon."
As far as news went, the notice meant little.
Who was Joe Chandler?
"Oh, he's that tenant farmer who tries to make ends meet by haul-
ing mail sacks from the post office to the depot sometimes he fills. . .

And who's Callie Sanders?

"Callie? She got out of the orphanage just about a year ago . . .

. 15 years old when she married Joe
Chandler. . .
."
They were the parents of Albert Benjamin Chandler, who was to suc-
ceed the late Kenesaw Mountain Landis as the commissioner of baseball.
They named him Albert, after Albert Wetzel, a Corydon farmer— and
Copyrighted b.v The Sporting News Tub. Co., 1946
Benjamin, after Dr. Benjamin Compton, the physician, who delivered the
Chandler baby-boy that night.
It may sound like story-book stuff, but no famous American figure
ever was born under humbler circumstances. It was a bleak beginning for
the stout-chinned, smiling man they today call "Happy."
Commissioner Chandler's family, on both sides, originated in Virginia
—
and North Carolina coming to these shores directly from England.
Grandfather Dan Chandler, after settling in Virginia, moved on by cov-
ered wagon to the Missouri Ozarks, where he met North Carolina -born.
Mary Terrell. Of that union was born Joseph S. Chandler at Camden.
County, Mo., in 1870. From Missouri, Dan and his little brood back-tracked
to Kentucky, building a home in Henderson County.
Old Dan Chandler prospered for some years. He specialized in straw-
berries. His business grew progressively, and his produce was much in
—
demand. While not wealthy, Dan became comfortably fixed but not for
long.
Dan took a liking to Kentucky's bourbon and that was his undoing.
He was free with money. He didn't press creditors too hard for payment
of debts. He was easy-going and fun-loving, but God-fearing. His busi-
ness went to pieces during his declining years. At the end of the trail
he had little left to show for his labors.
And so, young Joe Chandler, who was to become the father of baseball's
commissioner, was pretty much on his own from childhood. He had very
little education. He worked on his father's farm and strove to keep things
going.
It wasn't until Joe met Callie Saunders that he began farming on his
own. He scraped together a little money by doing odd jobs around Cory-
don; handy man, one might have called him. Although he made hardly

VEARS OLD.
enough to warrant a financially secure marriage, he decided to wed Cal-

lie Saunders when he arranged to work a portion of Albert Wetzel's farm.
Callie was born in Virginia and moved to Kentucky with her parents.
Her parents died during her early childhood. There were no other living
relatives. She was thrown upon the charity of the community and thus
was taken into the county orphanage. She had seen little of the outside
world when she met Joe Chandler. At 15, she welcomed the prospects of
marriage. And so it was.
From
the outset, Joe and Callie failed to hit it off. They were poor.
Even by working night and daj', Joe was unable to provide a comfortable-
home. Albert Benjamin Chandler was born the first year of the marriage.
Hardly a year later, another son was born to Joe and Callie and they named
him Robert. After four years, they decided to part. Joe took custody of
the two boys. Callie remarried and moved out of Kentucky.
Thus Joe Chandler, with an income of a few dollars per week, was
left with two motherless sons. Never did he prosper, nor did his boys
know anything other than grinding poverty. The situation was such that
Albert and Robert practically became dependent on the bounty of others.
They were clad in cast-off clothing, and when Joe failed to provide, they
were fed in the homes of kindly neighbors.
When Albert Benjamin Chandler was 9 years old, he was already earn-
ing his way in the world. He ran errands for neighbors, washed dishes,
chopped wood, and performed a miscellany of other little odd jobs which
netted him a few quarters, as well as meals. He ate with the servants in
Corydon's homes, and so it was with his brother, Robert.
No children in America experienced a bleaker childhood, but the two
Chandler youngsters, because of their industry, and orderliness and good
humor, won the affection and sympathy of all Corydonites. Many a Cory-
don kid, favored by better fortune, had his posterior paddled by his par-
ents for calling the Chandler youngsters "poor white trash."
The Chandler boys, as they took on age, worked after school in Smith's
Grocery, and King's drygoods store. They did odd jobs for Judge Field-
ing Pentecost and J. A. Anderson, the banker. They had no time for play.
Christmas came and passed them by. There was no Santa Claus, and shin-
ing new toys were things every kid in the world seemed to have, except
Albert and Bob Chandler.
Meanwhile, Joe Chandler made no headway. He managed to maintain
shelter for his sons, but that was just about all. He was extremely re-
ligious and aimed his sons toward the ministry, although it was something
of a paradox that he frowned upon advanced education. He didn't want
them to go to high school. He wanted them to work.
Likewise, the elder Chandler frowned upon sports. Joe Chandler was
a frustrated man who seemed bitten by some strange and overpowering
complex. He was a man of the soil with a sun-fissured neck and calloused
hands. Where others drew a living from the earth, for him it was barren
and unproductive. He spent his early years and young manhood and mid-
dle years seeking to solve the riddle. It seemed he wanted to throw the
combined forces of his two sons and himself against the very thing that
had beaten him. But he failed in that, too.
When he found Albert and Robert taking time off from their chores
to play baseball with Corydon schoolmates, he called them home and
launched into long-winded lectures against idleness. It is ironic that the
son of Joe Chandler was to become the supreme figure of baseball.
CHAPTER n.
SAW YOUNGER BROTHER FATALLY HURT IN FALL
IFAlbert Benjamin Chandler hadn't known tragedy almost from
ASinfancy, the full force of sadness and misfortune struck him like the
blow of an axe when he was 14. Bob was more than a brother to Albert.
Kii was his closest pal and confidant, and Albert almost fathered the
younger boy. Bob was at work picking cherries when a limb cracked and
sent him sprawling to the earth. Albert was the first to his side. He car-
ried his brother home, summoned Dr. Ben Compton, and was at his side
when Bob, with a broken neck, breathed his last, without regaining con-
sciousness.
Young Chandler was more alone than ever after that. He drew closer
to his father, worked harder than ever— in fact, lost himself in work for
I 14 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK
months to come. He thought of the ministry. He sang in the choir of
the Corydon Christian Church. And week-ends he traveled with his dad
to the farm of his grandfather.
Chandler spoke of his grandfather as one of the most
In later years,
wonderful human beings —
he had ever known righteous, self-sacrificing,
kindly. His one weakness was his intemperance. Young Albert, because
of his grandfather, swore he would never touch liquor in any form and —
he never has. Happy was inordinately proud of old Dan Chandler, and
when he returned to Corydon he liked to tell schoolmates of the old boy's
heroism in the Confederate cause. Old Dan had been severely wounded
at Shiloh, but nevertheless saved the life of his superior officer, and, wounded
as he was, had enough altruism and .mercy flowing through his veins to
crawl out under fire and drag a dying Yankee to cover.
Old Dan always told his grandsons never to hate any man, "no mat-
ter what he does to you." ......
Moving on to high school, though still working at night, and in the
early morning, Chandler somehow found time to go out for Corydon
High's baseball team. He became the outstanding player of his team. His
exceptional all-round playing ability won him new friends.
Young Chandler had built up a newspaper business for himself. He
had a list of subscribers for the Louisville Courier- Journal, the Evansville
Courier, and the Henderson Gleaner-Journal.
Before young, Chandler's supply of papers were unloaded at the depot,
he usually had time for a ball game.
He was a school leader at Corydon. He never was late, nor did he
— —
ever miss a day at school except once and that happened on the first
school day of his life. When he entered the first grade and the children
were let out for recess, little Chandler thought school w'as over, so he
went home followed by a note from his first-grade teacher, Miss Lora
. . .
Frisby, who, by the way, is still Chandler's greatest booster. •
The memory of that early incident has remained with Happy. Before
he tackles a new job, he makes sure he understands what he is doing,
and makes doubly certain he doesn't leave it too soon.
,-,.In his senior year at Corydon High, and that was in 1917, Chandler was

were all set for the University of Kentucky, Centre College or other schools
around the state and elsewhere. Chandler was captain of the baseball and
basketball teams, and leader in all other groups of school life. He became
increasingly interested in adding to his store of education.
The elder Chandler, however, was dead set against Happy's going to
BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK I 15
college, and when Happy made up his mind to go, he did so over the heated
protests of his father. Young Chandler had no means 'of paying his way
through college. But one evening, while sitting in the Corydon Christian
Church, he got an idea.
Dr. Homer S. Carpenter, president of Transylvania College of Lexington,
was the guest speaker. The title of his sermon at the revival meeting was
"A Helping Hand."
Young Chandlerlistened intently as Dr. Carpenter, with a magnificent

roll of rhetoric,
After the sermon, Chandler trailed Dr. Carpenter all the way down to
the Corydon railroad station before he summoned enough nerve to approach
him. Finally, with train time coming on, Chandler became desperate. He
walked up to the venerable minister.
"Dr. Carpenter," said Chandler, "I heard your sermon tonight about
—

a poor boy. I haven't any money

. . . but'I want an education more than
. . .
anything in the world.

"Could you," he asked, "help me go to Transylvania?"
He didn't give Dr. Carpenter a chance to reply. Almost as if he were
afraid he would be turned down then and there, Chandler kept on:
"I don't want anything for nothing," he pleaded. "It's just that I haven't
any money to pay but I can work.
. . I'll work hard ... do anything,
. . . .
if you'll give me a chance to earn my way through school."

Dr. Carpenter smiled.
"Son," he said, "I think something might be done. Give me your name
-and address. You'll hear from me in a day or two."
Sure enough, the letter came. Chandler" was all set for Transylvania!

hurt the boy Chandler deep inside. His feelings were wounded easily then.
—
They still are. But just the same, never was he one to be pushed around,
but came back with both fists flying.
In September, 1917, Chandler left Corydon for Lexington, Ky., seat of
Transylvania College, with all of his earthly possessions packed in a single
cardboard box. He revelled in his new setting and steeped himself in the
—
lore of the old school which was the first pillar of higher education west of
the Alleghenies.
Albert threw himself hungrily into the scheme of things and devoured
the new life and all of its bright and fresh vistas of hope. He eagerly
grasped the chance of making new friends and establishing himself upon
equal footing, rather than maintaining the identity of the kid from the
yonder side of town. He was a smiling, joking, brimming-over- with- joy kid
whose perpetual grin and constant good humor naturally brought him the
new nickname of "Happy," instead of "Irish," and Happy Chandler he
became.
When Happy Chandler told Dr. Homer S. Carpenter he was willing to
work, and work hard, that night at the railroad station, the venerable edu-
cator and man of the gospel took him at his word. And Chandler worked
from early morning until late at night. He worked in the school's laundry.
He washed dishes, waited on tables, and did an infinite miscellany of chores
which earned his keep.
Yet Chandler also drank in college life to the full. He joined anything
and everything on the campus. He was an exceptional scholar from the
start and he distinguished himself on the athletic field from the first day.
He was the school's outstanding baseball player. He was a corking good
football player. —
He went in for the glee club, for he had and still has
a splendid tenor voice, and he plunged into dramatics and took part in
school plays.
Chandler was no great shakes as an actor. He played minor roles. The
leading man in all of Transylvania's plays was Walter Mulbry, the man who,
today, serves as the commissioner's chief assistant at Cincinnati. While

Mulbry portrayed the dashing hero, Happy usually was the cop who poked
his head in the door, said "What's a-goin' on here," and bowed out. Mulbry
today still kids Chandler about his atrocious play-acting.
World War I was on when Chandler launched his college career. He
was coming of draft age and was in the Student Army Training Corps at
Transylvania when the war ended.
In baseball at Transylvania, Chandler pitched and played the outfield,
although he was equally adept at any position. During his high school days,
when Corydon High had its unbeatable "Dutch-Irish" battery of Albert
(Dutch) Schnabel, pitcher, and Albert (Irish) Chandler, catcher, he was
likely to fill in at any spot. Thus it was in college.
At Transylvania, Chandler starred for a team that could hold its own
with the best college teams in the country. When Transylvania went up
against the champion University of Tennessee team, Chandler was sent in to
—
pitch and shut out the vaunted Volunteers. His highest batting average
in college competition was .467.
In football, Transylvania was something less than a good college aggre-
gation. While they held their own in their own class, they absorbed some
fearful shellackings when they ran up against stiffer opposition. Chandler

quarterbacked Transylvania. He was his team's best all-round back. But

it was Happy's ill fortune to collide with such teams as the Centre College
Praying Colonels who, even then, were winning national fame.
However, Chandler didn't suffer by any comparison with the great Centre
stars. They had Bo McMillin and Red Roberts and Sully Montgomery; and
they were to rock the gridiron world by upsetting a good Harvard team.
But Chandler smacked the Centre line with such ferocity that the Praying
Colonels nicknamed him "Hammerhead." In 1920, when Transylvania lost
to Centre, 49 to 0, in a bruising game, Happy played through the entire
contest without a substitute. At the end of the game, Red Roberts and
some of the other Centre players carried Transylvania's game quarterback
off the field on their shoulders.
Charlie Moran, the Centre coach, was so impressed with Chandler's all-
round ability and football intelligence that he later signed him as an assist-
ant coach at Centre College.
In 1918, when the Army installed an S. A. T. C. unit at Transylvania,
Chandler found himself surrounded by top-flight college talent. Chandler
starred at end. On the other other end was Dutch Meyer, who later was to
win fame as head football coach at Texas Christian University. That was
Transylvania's best year in football.
Along about his junior year, Happy was taking leave of an old and
—
constant companion and that was hardship. He got better jobs, earned
more money, and gradually tore loose from waiting on tables and dish-
washing. Besides, a certain Gen. J. Fred Miles, a wealthy Louisville dis-
tiller and alumnus of the school, was taking more than a passing interest
in this young, smiling guy who excelled in sports.
There at Transylvania was cemented a relationship between the older
man and the youthful Chandler that has grown even stronger with the years.
Miles helped Chandler through school, for he recognized him as a deserving
boy whose life had been impeded by a lane of red lights, with no "Go"
signals. And while Miles didn't convert it into a path of American Beauty \
roses, he eased things considerably, gave Chandler well-paying jobs during/
summer vacation— not to mention the fact that he had Happy hurling for
his oil company team. In later years, Miles was to be one of Chandler's ,.
political supporters.

CHAPTER IV. \
HOW MINSTRELSY LOST A PROMISING TENOR

HANDLER had acquired considerable poise and polish by the time he U: .
Teached his senior year at Transylvania. And though he never was

C one to stand in the back row, he had gained new confidence. Then"^
and there he wanted to step out and conquer the world. His husky
tenor voice and his originality of delivery had made him quite a hit around^
Lexington. He was called on to sing everywhere and managed to pick up
a few dollars here and there with his songs. Happy became stage-struck:
Annually, Al Field's and his minstrels played Lexington, and Chandler
was an every-night, front-row customer. At that point in his life, Chandler
would have rather been one of Al Field's minstrel men than anything in
the world. His particular black-faced heroes were Billy Church, Larry
Gilbert, Jack Richards, Bert Swor and "Lasses" White. What a life!—They
lived at the best hotels, played all of the big cities, rode the finest of Pull-
mans, could well afford to toss around quarter tips wonderful!
. . .
So Chandler got acquainted with the minstrel troupe and he was hugely
impressed by the casual way they talked of Broadway and of big name
stars . Why, they knew Eva Tanguay personally! Geraldine Farrar?
. .
—
Bert Gilbert knew her knew her old man, too. and, incidentally, what a
ball player Sid was! The whole idea intrigued Chandler, and he knew then
that was to be his life, and that nothing could stand in his way. He knew
this because he had a tryout. He sang for them and sang with them and —
actually stepped in and contributed his tenor voice to the closest and sweet-
est harmony he'd ever known.
He knew this was to be his life, and he revelled in the thought, because
they slapped him warmly on the back, and told him he was great. He knew
he had been accepted because they said he not only had a great voice, but
he had a Southern accent of such' velvety thickness you couldn't cut it with
a Gillette blade. The accent was tailor-made for a minstrel man. Chandler
—
was a natural and they'd be glad to take him along. Of course, he couldn't
expect a top salary at the start, but later on . . .
Well, there wasn't any later on for Happy Chandler in the minstrels.
One night before the troupe left town, Larry Gilbert took Chandler aside
and talked to him in low tones.
"Listen, kid," said the veteran trouper, "you're graduating from college
soon. They're going to give you a diploma and that sheet of white paper
—
means a lot. It means you've got a college education don't waste it. Sure,
—
you can sing and so can a thousand other kids like you but there ain't —
many of them who have a good education.
"Take the advice of an old-timer," said Gilbert. "Go on back to school
and get that diploma and don't make a fool out of it."
It took a few days for the full impact of Gilbert's words to drive home.
Figuratively, the old trouper had grabbed the youngster by the scruff' of
the neck and yanked him back on the highway again. Chandler took the
advice. In June, 1921, wearing cap and gown, Chandler stepped up and '
received his Bachelor of Arts degree from a man who was a little m'oist-
:ov
eyed, and who held his hand and gripped it just a little longer than he did
when he congratulated the rest of his graduates that day.
The old man was thinking about the kid in patched trousers whose pan-
icky, pleading voice came out of the darkness to him that night at the Cory-
don railroad station.
"Good boy, Albert!" he said.
In addition to his A.B. from Transylvania, Chandler later was to acquire
an L.L.B. from the University of Kentucky. In 1936, Transylvania honored
him with a doctor's degree and similar recognition was bestowed upon him
by the University of Kentucky in 1937.
CHAPTER V.
FROM SEMI-PRO BALL TO HARVARD LAW SCHOOL
leaving Transylvania, Chandler was without a positive pattern
UPON
for the future. Only the summer before
still
he had pitched for Grafton, N. D.,
in the Red River Valley League. He had done very well. He won 12 out of
13 games and played third base when he wasn't pitching. He had batted
better than .350. He remembered the afternoon when they played the Meno-
man Indians at Hallock, Minn. Happy won the game in the ninth by clout-
ing a double with the bases loaded, and the fans showered him with silver
dollars. Was it going to be baseball?
Whatever it was to be, Chandler played ball during the summer of 1921'
with a fast semi-professional club called the Lexington Reos. On that team
was a lean young greyhound of an outfielder named Earle Combs, who later
was to star with the New York Yankees. Chandler was having a good year,
but he was becoming restless. September was coming on and the big and.
little schools of the land would soon be opening. So he talked to his old
friend General Miles.
"Old Horse," he said, and that was an affectionate nickname he had for
Miles. "I've been thinking about myself lately. I've been wondering where
I'm going, and I haven't got an answer."
Baseball? Chandler said he loved it. He thought he might make a go
of it in the professional —
game but what if he didn't? Supposing his arm
went bad? And what if he just wasn't quite good enough to work his way
up to the big leagues? What then?
"I've been thinking about that, too," said the gruff old general. "You've
been running around here lately like a headless chicken. Have you ever
thought of being a lawyer? And did you ever stop to think that maybe a
more school mightn't hurt?"
little
The thought appealed to Happy. He had saved a little money. He bor-
rowed a little more from Miles. A few weeks later he was on his way to
Harvard law school.
leaving Corydon for Lexington was a leap into a new and strange
If
environment, certainly Chandler found himself in a completely strange
world when he reached Boston. He experienced his first Boston winter, and
watched the mists rise from the Charles River in bleak December. With his
gravel-throated Southern drawl, Chandler practically was a museum piece
and he was kidded unmercifully by Bostonians, whose broad "A's" and
"cawn'ts" would, conversely, evoke a ripple of laughter in any Southland
gathering.
Chandler gave the books a beating at Harvard. And when autumn
came, Charlie Moran, the old National League umpire who coached Centre
College, employed Happy as a scout. Harvard cut quite a figure in the
football world those days. Centre, an unheard-of college from Kentucky,
was coming on to tackle the giants of the eastern gridiron world.
Chandler watched Harvard closely. He picked out what he considered
the most vulnerable spots in Harvard's line. He wrote reams of notations
and sketched endless diagrams. He knew little Centre College had a good
—
team light, but fast and aggressive. Yet, its enrollment of students num-
bered less than 300. It was unthinkable that the Praying Colonels of Centre
College were a match for a member of football's "Big Three." At least, no

small school had ever defeated any member of college football's then strut-
ting triumvirate of Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
Although Centre's football coach, Uncle Charlie Moran, had made a name
as an umpire in the National League, he was lesser known for his gridiron
exploits as a star at Tennessee and in the early professional game at Mas-
sillon, O. He wasn't, by any means, rated one of America's ranking foot-
ball coaches of the day.
Up to Cambridge came Moran and his Centre College team. Chandler
worked with Moran and with the Centre players. And gridiron history
shows that Centre rocked the football world that gray afternoon by cutting
the vaunted Crimson down to its size. A little snub-nosed back named Bo
McMillin, who coached the Big Ten Championship Indiana team of 1945, ran
wild against the Harvards. It was McMillin who beat them with a 35-yard
run for a touchdown.
After that sample of Chandler's football acumen, Charlie Moran, with
the cheers of victory still ringing in his ears, took the Harvard law student
aside in the dressing room and told him he had a coaching job waiting for
him at Centre.
So, in 1922, when Chandler returned to Kentucky, he served as assistant
coach to Moran at Centre, and also filled in as head scout.

CHAPTER VI.
COURTSHIP—MARRIAGE— LAW PRACTICE—POLITICS
CHANDLER was becoming quite a busy young man just about this time.
In addition his coaching,
to he attended law school at the University of
Kentucky, alsowedging in odd jobs here and there of summer months
with his close friend, General Miles. Something else happened, too,
which took its toll of Chandler's days and weeks and months.
He met a blue-eyed, honey-blonde beauty named Mildred Watkins. Mil-
dred was a school teacher at Margaret Hall School for Girls at Versailles,
Ky. Versailles, a short distance from Lexington, was one of Chandler's
haunts at the time. And there came a night when he was asked to rehearse
for a play which was to take place in the Versailles Courthouse. Chandler
was called upon to sing, and presently there came a group song in which he

found himself standing beside Miss Watkins who had, and still has, a sweet
soprano singing voice.
Chandler found himself having difficulty remembering the words. Miss
Watkins was most distracting.
That was the start of their romance.
When the young Kentuckian found it extremely difficult to court his lady
fair, in addition to applying himself to all of his other duties, he had a seri-
ous discussion with her one evening, let fly with the fateful words, and they
were married. The wedding took place November 12, 1925.
Chandler had his law degree by then. He had opened a little two-by-
four office in Versailles, after passing the bar. He continued scouting for
Centre College and took on a job as head football coach at Versailles High

School. It was a close squeak financially, but he was able to support a wife.
Youngsters, too! In a swift succession of years there came daughters Mar-
cella and Mildred, and sons Albert Benjamin, Jr., and Joseph Daniel.
The young attorney's business grew steadily His friends were throwing
cases his way. And old General Miles was standing somewhere in the back-
ground, lending a hand here and there. Finally, Chandler decided he wanted
to go into politics. He took the first step when he was appointed master
commissioner of Woodford County, Ky., in 1928.
Things started moving rapidly after that. The restless and ambitious
Chandler didn't tarry on any one job for long. The next year, after a hus-
tling campaign, he was elected state senator from the Twenty-second Dis-
trict. Happy won in a walkaway, and it wasn't long after that when he cam-
paigned his way into the lieutenant-governorship of Kentucky, gaining that
office in 1931. Three progressively better jobs in as many years!
All the way, Mrs. Mildred Chandler was playing a powerful role in
Happy's ascendancy. Never does Chandler miss a chance to give his wife
full credit for her wise counsel and constant help. If Chandler was a good
campaigner, then so was she. They sang together at political functions,
never failing to bring down the house. They barnstormed around the state
together, and they stood side by side on the speaker's platforms and shared
equal measures of the sweeping acclaim which greeted them everywhere.
In 1934, the Chandlers toured the state, singing the depression-born
song, "Gold Mine in the Sky." They harmonized everywhere and they left
harmony behind them. Chandler rode into the Governor's mansion at Frank-
fort by a sweeping majority in 1935.
It is more than a biographical drum-beating when
it is said that Chand-
ler's was the most successful and popular reign in the history of Kentucky.
America's youngest governor (he was 37 at the time of his inauguration)
had thousands of friends and he knew hundreds of them by their first

names. He knew the rich and poor alike, and each seemed to impart some-
thing to him. J. Dan Talbott, Bardstown businessman, was his political sponsor,
and it was largely through Talbott that Chandler made his swift rise to the
governorship. Around Louisville they called Talbott "the king-maker." In
Chandler's case, Talbott was beyond any doubt a "governor-maker."
Talbott, who might have reached the political peaks on his own, was
powerful in Kentucky political circles. He had been urged to campaign
many times for the United States Senate. But he wasn't interested. He
sought nothing from politics, but fought to give Kentucky the best political
pattern in the world. His father-in-law was Ben Johnson, beloved Kentucky
political hero who turned up the Teapot Dome oil scandal during President
Warren G. Harding's administration.
When Chandler stepped into Kentucky's highest office, hard on the heels
of the depression, the young governor found the Blue Grass State in dire
financial straits. Chandler, the poverty-stricken youngster who came up
from the wrong side of the railroad tracks in Corydon, was not a financial
genius. He leaned heavily upon the counsel of Talbott, a keen business-
man. He consulted Talbott frequently, and he consulted all men of finance
he could possibly meet or locate. Chandler studied hard. He delved into
tax problems of every state in the Union. If he didn't know much about
finance and taxation before, he was unquestionably an expert on the sub-
ject before he was through. The Chandler tax plan not only lifted Ken-
tucky out of debt, it was copied, and is still being copied, by other states.
In 1936, Chandler created the tax plan, submitted it to the State Senate
at Frankfort, and it was returned to him for his signature without a dis-
senting vote. He more than balanced the budget. Chandler created thou-
sands of jobs for Kentuckians with his public works projects, meanwhile
giving his state some of the finest highways in the world, and public build-
ings second to none.

SETS COURSE FOR SENATE— BUT MEETS SETBACK

Senate. of his most influential friends strove to dissuade him. It
out that he had to buck the veteran United States Senator
Alben W. Barkley, who, even then, was one of the whipmasters of the
Roosevelt New Deal. Barkley was powerful. There could be no doubt about
that. But Barkley's strong situation didn't deter Chandler. He had never lost
a political fight. He didn't like the way Kentucky was doing in Washington.
He was determined to get to the Nation's Capital and do the job himself.
So, the youthful governor embarked upon a furious campaign, making
one-night stands throughout the state, constantly on the move and squan-
dering his strength in one of the most vitality-sapping junkets any man
ever undertook. And his personable wife, Mildred, was with him every
step of the way. Together they sang "Gold Mine in the Sky" throughout
Kentucky in an endless whirlwind of a tour. They met the little people and
big people of the Blue Grass and the Chandlers were threatening to run
away with the race.
It was infinitely more than a state political battle. The affair had taken
on the dimensions of a nationwide showdown. Washington was watching it
all the way. And President Roosevelt, at the peak of his popularity and
power, saw himself threatened, and threatened seriously for the first time.
Roosevelt couldn't afford to lose Barkley and he knew it. When things
became crucial, Roosevelt was forced to leave his duties at the White House
and campaign in Kentucky with and for Barkley.
Roosevelt created a precedent. He didn't make one speech advocating
Barkley's election— and leave. He made many, speeches. He toured the
state aboard his special train, banging away with the name of "My dear
friend Alben W. Barkley." When Chandler saw he had to fight the White
House as well as his state political opponent, he plunged into the campaign
with greater determination than ever. But Barkley won the election after
a close and hard fight all the way.
Still, many of Happy's more ardent supporters considered the loss of a
seat in the Senate as Kentucky's gain in the governor's chair. Chandler
ruled the state without fear or favor, and certainly his administration was
a spotless one of which he and his supporters were proud.
In carrying out his program, Chandler refused to let friendship inter-
fere. When he was elected governor, he brought along with him one of his
old school friends. The friend was well-educated and seemingly capable.
Chandler appointed him to an important job which had hitherto been con-
sidered a political prize. The friend had been of no particular help to
Chandler in his campaign. Nevertheless, the young governor liked the
friend from long association, but mostly, considered him the man best fitted
to perform the job at hand.
The friend obviously let the job go to his head. He became a playboy,
neglected his duties and drank openly and freely. Chandler received un-
favorable reports about the friend from time to time. Finally, he summoned
him to the governor's mansion, implored him to mend his ways and give
his full attention to his duties. The friend apologized profusely and prom-
ised to make amends. But he didn't.
Again the friend wandered off the straight and narrow, and again
Chandler berated him.
"I appointed you," said Chandler, "not only because you were my
friend, but because you have a world of ability, and because you can help
the state, and, in so doing, help me."
He gave his friend one more chance and told him this was the last.
Again unfavorable reports came to Chandler. And again the friend
was summoned.
"I want your immediate resignation," said Chandler. "Rather than
have someone else fire you for me, I brought you here. I do not want to
—
embarrass you openly but this is the end. You have taken advantage of my
friendship. I know of nothing more unpardonable."
The friend pleaded to great lengths, made profuse promises of rectifica-
tion and begged for one more chance. Chandler refused to listen.
"But," said the friend, "think of my wife and children!"
"Why," asked Chandler, "didn't YOU think of them?"
Chandler gave himself completely to his job. He demanded the same of
all who held key positions in his administration.

CHAPTER VIII.
GOES TO WASHINGTON— AND 'ROUND THE WORLD
CHANDLER, however, wasn't satisfied with staying on at Frankfort. He
was determined to reach the United States Senate, despite the first defeat
of his brilliant career. As things turned out, he made his way into the
Senate quickly after his defeat by the combined forces of Roosevelt and
Barkley. Marvell Mills Logan, U. S. Senator from Kentucky, died while in
office. Chandler utilized the old political maneuver of resigning as governor
in order to have himself appointed to fill the Senate vacancy. Thus, in 1939,
41-year-old Albert Benjamin Chandler stepped upon the floor of the United
States Senate for the first time.
President Roosevelt was quick to heal the old political wounds, or try
to do so, once Chandler arrived in Washington. But Chandler voted favor-
ably on New Deal legislation only when he conscientiously believed the
proposed legislation would serve the best interests of the country as a whole.
Undoubtedly, Chandler's greatest contribution to the country came in
1942 when he, as a member of the Truman Committee and Military Affairs
Committee, elected to take a hazardous flight to the Aleutians to study our
defenses against the Japanese. He recognized the Aleutians as America's
most vulnerable spot.
Previously Chandler had done no flying. But he went through with the
aerial junket, landed in Dutch Harbor, and took off again through almost
impenetrable fogs over mountainous terrain for the advanced outposts. The
Japs were on Kiska and Attu at the time.
In visiting the Aleutians at that precarious stage of the war, Chandler
found America appallingly lacking in men, guns and airplanes at the con-
tinent's northwesternmost gateway.
Chandler made a hurried trip back to Washington and took his findings
direct to the White House, and to the secret meetings of the Military Affairs
Committee. Because of Chandler, the Aleutians were strengthened imme-
diately and the Japanese were driven out of Kiska and Attu. The whole
story of Chandler's mission and the seriousness of the Aleutian situation
has yet to be revealed.
In 1943, Chandler took a globe-girdling flight to inspect the complete war
picture, and although his role was by no means as important as the one he
played in the Aleutians, he had an important hand in regulating Lend-
Lease and bringing the true picture of our relations with the Allies back
to America.
In Washington, Chandler was swiftly recognized as one of Capitol Hill's
busiest men and hardest workers, as well as one of the country's most
formidable statesmen.
After his round-the-world trip, Chandler was up for election in Ken-
tucky. But he refused to return to his home state and campaign, because
he insisted the war situation was far too serious to neglect. Finally, he was
persuaded to go to Kentucky. He made a few speeches and hurried back to
Washington.
Before he had arrived, a smear campaign was in progress concerning
a swimming pool that had been presented to him as a gift from his former
college classmate and close friend, Ben Collings, Louisville contractor.
It was charged the pool was constructed of priority steel. Chandler
invited the Truman investigating committee to visit his home. He insisted
that the facts be cleared up. The pool was investigated and the accusations
were revealed to be groundless.
What Chandler did not say in his own defense was the fact he had
repeatedly refused Collings' offer of the gift. Only when he was on his
world flight did Collings install the pool at Chandler's modest home at Ver-
sailles. Neither did Chandler reveal the fact that his wife, to whom he
affectionately refers as "Mama," gave Collings permission to begin the in-
stallation. Nor did he make mention that he immediately turned the pool
over to the boys and girls of Versailles.
The acccusations were, if anything, a boomerang for Chandler's opponent.
Chandler, without making a serious campaign, won the 1943 election in a
walkaway.

CHAPTER IX.
REALIZES LIFE AMBITION AS COMMISSIONER
HE not rejected powerful backing for the vice-presidency, Chandler
HAD
might have been President of the United States instead of commissioner
of baseball. At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Chan-
dler was approached regarding the nomination. He bluntly turned it
down when he likened the vice-presidency to political exile. But he re-
jected it most of all because, when the nomination was offered, it was
passed on to him with the provision: "If you will alter one or two of
your political views."
Chandler was never one to adopt an opinion he knew was basically
wrong, nor did he ever knowingly desert a principle. He refused to go
along.
Just as Chandler had good men pulling for him up through his polit-

ical career, so did he have supporters rooting him into the sports world as
commissioner of baseball.
Chiefamong these was Col. John O. Gottlieb of the general staff of
the War Department at Washington. Gottlieb became Chandler's fast friend
at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, where both of them lived. Gottlieb
knew Chandler wanted the baseball job when discussions were rampant
about possible successors to the late Judge K. M. Landis.
Although Chandler stubbornly refused to participate in any way, Gott-
lieb started the campaign. Gottlieb found Chandler a good candidate, for
the Kentucky Senator was an ardent fan who had witnessed games in
every big league park, as well as in many minor league parks. Chandler
was acquainted with most big league magnates. He was close to Warren
Giles at Cincinnati. He became friendly with Larry MacPhail when the
present president of the New York Yankees was with Cincinnati.
Gottlieb, head of a big trucking firm in Chicago, was acquainted with
a few baseball people himself. So he went to work. Although an impres-
sion last arose that Chandler was steamrollered into the commissionership,
it has been proved that, actually, his name was the last to be brought be-
fore the meeting of the magnates, April 24, 1945, at the Hotel Cleveland in
Cleveland, O.
The once-poor boy from Corydon, Ky., was unanimously elected to the
highest position in sports that April afternoon. He accepted the job imme-
diately. It was one job to which he had aspired for many years.
Indeed, he had gone on record publicly that he coveted the commis-
sionership of baseball as early as May 7, 1942, when he was interviewed by
J. G. Taylor Spink, publisher of The Sporting News.
Not until the close of World War II did Chandler resign as United States
Senator from Kentucky. On October 29, 1945, six months from the day he
became commissioner, Chandler stepped out of political life in Washington
after a stirringceremony in the Senate.
Chandler made his farewell speech, and there were tears in his eyes
as he brought to a close 18 meteoric years of service to the state of Ken-
tucky. Chandler, in turn, was eulogized by his colleagues. The last day
on Capitol Hill came officially to a close in the Senate's private dining room
where Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, Chandler's political opponent of
several years before, served as host at a luncheon in his honor. Many of
Chandler's close friends of the Senate were there. They called him "Com-
missioner," and praised his record of service to his state and the nation,
while predicting for him a notable record as the chief administrator of the
National Game.

1945,
1Men of the Year: Major League Executive, Philip K. Wrigley, presi-
dent of the Chicago Cubs; Major League Manager, Ossie Bluege of the
Senators; Major League Player, Hal Newhouser, pitcher of the Tigers; Ma-
jor League Scout, Joe Mathes of the Cardinals; Minor League Executive,
Bruce Dudley, president of the Louisville American Association Colonels;
Minor League Manager, Frank (Lefty) O'Doul of the San Francisco Pacific
Coast League Seals, and Minor League Player, Gilbert Coan, outfielder of
the Chattanooga Southern Association Lookouts.
The courage of Wrigley in making the biggest cash outlay of the year
for Hank Borowy, Yankee pitcher on whom every other club in the league
had waived, was credited with being a big factor in the Cubs' 1945 pennant
victory. Although finishing in past years on the short end of other deals
in which high-priced stars were involved, the Cubs' owner did not hesitate
to grab Borowy from the Yankees late in July at a fancy price, when as-
sured the pitcher was needed in the flag fight. Hank turned the scales in
favor of the Cubs and, in the stretch, they beat out the Cardinals for the
pennant.
While Steve O'Neill of the Tigers and Charlie Grimm of the Cubs dis-
played exceptional skill in bringing in their teams as pennant winners,
Bluege was acclaimed as having performed a near-miracle in piloting the
Senators to second place in the American League, after they had finished
in the basement the year before. This was accomplished with no outstand-
ing reinforcements, but by capable manipulation of available material to
make his team a pennant threat throughout the season to wind up only
a game and a half behind the leader.
Newhouser was hailed as not only the outstanding pitcher of the season,
but the top player, as well. He worked 313 innings in 40 games, struck out
212 to lead his league, was first in winning percentage, the pace-setter in
earned-run average and was at his best when the chips were down, win-
ning crucial games in the duel with Washington during the season and from
the Cubs in the World's Series.
Despite injuries and calls to the service, the Cardinals always had a
capable replacement to fill the holes and finished only three games out of
first place —an accomplishment largely credited to Joe Mathes, head of
their farm system, through his keen judgment of young material and skill-
ful direction of its development.
In the minors, Dudley, who won a similar honor in 1939, was cited for
his policies that gave Louisville an all-time attendance record of 350,593 and
enabled the Colonels to win their second playoff title and the 1945 Junior
World's Series. O'Doul was rated as the top minor league manager for
piloting the San Francisco Seals to their third straight playoff champion-
ship through careful nursing of his pitching staff and skillful handling of
a shaky infield. Coan, who was acclaimed as the brightest star in the mi-
nors, played in every game for Chattanooga, set a league record of 28 tri-
ples and led in batting, with a .372 average; home runs, 16; doubles, 40;
hits, 201, and total bases, 345, and stole 37 bases. His remarkable perform-
ance earned Gil a trial for a regular place in the outfield with the Wash-
ington Senators in 1946.
With the war over, the game lifts its sights much higher in 1946, but
for earring on under many handicaps, the No. 1 Men of 1945 are acclaimed
as deservedly earning a prominent place among those previously honored
in the selections as contributing most to the national pastime.

The Sporting News' All -Star Team
THERE WERE only two repeaters, Pitcher Hal Newhouser of the Tigers
and Shortstop Marty Marion of the Cardinals, on the twenty-first annual
Ail-Starteam selected by The Sporting News from the votes of 216
members of. the Baseball Writers' Association. Though over the years
American League players hold the edge, 123 to 98, on these annual All-Star
selections, the senior league led for the second successive season with seven
representatives to four for its rival. The two championhip clubs won five
of the positions, the Cubs placing Captain-First Baseman Phil Cavarretta,
Pitcher Hank Borowy and Center Fielder Andy Pafko and the Tigers their
battery of Newhouser and Paul Richards. Newhouser scored highest, get-
ting his name on 206 ballots; Cavarretta was a close second, with 202 votes.
There was a terrific struggle for third base and the third outfield posi-
tion, with Cardinal Whitey Kurowski eventually winning the hot corner
designation from Chicago's Stan Hack, 105 to 103, while Goody Rosen of
the Dodgers had a similar two-vote margin on his teammate, Fred (Dixie)
Walker, 58 to 56.
Catching was the only position in which the leader did not get 100 votes.
Paul Richards of the Tigers was tops with 81, while White Sox Tresh and
Indian Hayes were neck-and-neck for second. Snuffy Stirnweiss of the
Yankees polled ten more votes at second base than did Marty Marion at
shortstop, 170 to 160. Those who claim that Eddie Miller is better than
Marty could get little solace from the Cincinnatian's paltry four votes.
Votes for the 1945 All-Star major league team, with the first three pitch-
ers qualifying and the selections for the positions in black face, follow:

Hall of Fame — Cooperstown
NAMES of ten famous players of the nineteenth century and the first
THE
decade of the twentieth were added to the of "Immortals" at
list the
Cooperstown Hall of Fame in 1945, the men being selected by the spe-
cial committee on old-timers. However, despite a relaxation of the
rules, the Baseball Writers' Association's poll produced no new additions
from later-day players for the second successive year.
The ten men selected were Hugh Duffy, Jimmy Collins, Hugh Jennings,
Ed Delahanty, Fred Clarke, Mike Kelly, Wilbert Robinson, Jim O'Rourke,
Dennis (Dan) Brouthers and Roger Bresnahan. The committee making the
selections consisted of Connie Mack, Ed Barrow, Bob Quinn, Sid Mercer,
Mel Webb, Stephen C. Clark and Paul S. Kerr, the last-named two representing
the National Baseball Museum. Mercer died June 18, 1945, and has been
succeeded by Harry Cross, New York Herald-Tribune.
Though there was a feeling that such famous old-timers as Clark Grif-
fith, Deacon Jim White and Charles (Kid) Nichols were slighted, the selections
of the committee, however, met with general favor.
No player having been selected in the January, 1945, vote of the Base-
ball Writers' Association of America, the Cooperstown authorities changed
the rules, trying to make it easier for stars of this century to make "the
Hall." The members of the Association first took part in a preliminary nomi-
nating ballot to provide 20 candidates for the final voting. The primary poll
produced 21 candidates, as two men tied for the twentieth spot. Those
nominated were Frank Baker, Albert (Chief) Bender, Mordecai Brown, Frank
Chance, Gordon (Mickey) Cochrane, Jerome (Dizzy) Dean, Bill Dickey,
Johnny Evers, Frank Frisch, Charles Gehringer, Clark Griffith, Bob Grove,
Carl Hubbell, Miller Huggins, Walter (Rabbit) Maranville, Joe McGinnity,
Herb Pennock, Joe Tinker, Harold (Pie) Traynor, George (Rube) Waddell
and Ed Walsh.
These 21 names, in alphabetical order, were sent to the members of
the Association, with instructions to vote for five. As was the case under
the old system, it was necessary for a candidate
to get 75 per cent of the
total vote. The new system did not work out in
practice as had been ex-
pected, no star even approaching the necessary 75 per cent. Frank Chance
was high, but he lacked 47 votes. Under the old system, Chance missed by
only seven votes in the January, 1945, poll. He then received 179 out of
247 votes. This year, he received only 147 out of 258; his old teammate,
Evers, was second. The others with over 100 votes were Huggins, 105, and
Walsh, 104.
With the war over, plans have been announced for an extensive addi-
tion to the National Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame at Cooperstown, N.
Y., which will more than double its size. The new addition will be a one-
story, fire-proof structure set some 30 or more feet from the front of the
original building. A new main entrance will be located, and directly op-
posite this entrance will be placed the bronze plaques of the baseball im-
mortals. At the end of the Hall of Fame in a niche visible from the front
entrance there will be a bronze bust of Christy Mathewson.
The plaques for Commissioner K. M. Landis, who was elected to the
Hall of Fame shortly after his death in November, 1944, and for the latest
ten immortals were to be unveiled at a special dedication later in the year.
Other new displays are photographs of players who were in the service,
and pictures of baseball in wartime, most of them sent to the Museum by
the United States Army, Navy and Marines. There also are new photo-
graphs of college teams, and a music department, with copies of songs with
a baseball theme. A Hugh Fullerton exhibit was being planned in honor
of the famous baseball writer who died December 27, 1945.
Curator Clifford Lord of the National Baseball Museum still was in the
Navy in early 1946, but expected his discharge in April. During his absence,
the affairs of the Museum were in the capable hands of Miss Janet R. Mac-
Farlane, acting curator.

All -Star Game Postponed
OF the casualties of the last war season of 1945 was the thirteenth
ONEAll-Star game, scheduled for Fenway Park, Boston, July 10, of last
year. Shortly after the start of the 1945 season, Col. J. Monroe John-
son, ODT director, called the two major league chiefs, Will Harridge
and Ford Frick, to Washington, to see what steps could be taken to reduce
big league mileage. It was agreed to cancel the scheduled All-Star game,
eliminating the mid-season transportation of many baseball men to Boston.
It was the first break in the event since it was introduced as one of the
sports features of the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago in 1933.
At the major league meetings in Chicago in December, 1945, the thir-
teenth All-Star game was rescheduled for Boston on July 9, 1946
In view of the interest in the All-Star squads annually selected by the
managers of the major league clubs, The Sporting News published National
and American All-Star teams in its issue of July 12. The teams were se-
lected by Frederick G. Lieb, veteran writer and observer of all the All-
Star games played since 1933. Lieb used the same system employed in
former years, taking at least one player from every club and putting the
World's Series managers of the preceding fall in charge. The teams follow:
—
National League Billy Southworth, Cardinals, manager; Frank Frisch,
Pirates, and Mike Gonzalez, Cardinals, coaches; Phil Cavarretta, Cubs, and
Frank McCormick, Reds, first base; Don Johnson, Cubs, and Emil Verban,
Cardinals, second base; Marty Marion, Cardinals, and Eddie Basinski, Dodg-
ers, shortstop; George Kurowski, Cardinals, and Bob Elliott, Pirates, third
base; Tommy Holmes, Braves, Elvm Adams, Cardinals, Mel Ott, Giants,
Goody Rosen, Dodgers, Bill Nicholson, Cubs, Vance Dinges, Phillies, out-
fielders; Phil Masi, Braves, Ken O'Dea, Cardinals, Ernie Lombardi Giants,
catchers; Claude Passeau and Paul Derringer, Cubs, Charley Barrett and
Blix Donnelly, Cardinals, Hal Gregg, Dodgers, Mort Cooper, Braves, Bill
Voiselle, Giants, Elwin Roe, Pirates, pitchers.
—
American League Luke Sewell, Browns, manager; Fred Hofmann,
Browns, and Art Fletcher, Yankees, coaches; Nick Etten, Yankees, and Dick
Siebert, Athletics, first base; George Stirnweiss, Yankees, and Eddie Mayo,
Tigers, second base; Vern Stephens, Browns, and Lou Boudreau, Indians,
shortstop; Mark Christman, Browns, and Tony Cuccinello, White Sox, third
base; George Case, Senators, Roger Cramer and Roy Cullenbine, Tigers,
Bob Johnson, Red Sox, Bob Estalella, Athletics, outfielders; Mike Tresh,
White Sox, Frank Hayes, Indians, Rick Ferrell, Senators, catchers; Dave
Ferriss, Red Sox, Hal Newhouser and Al Benton, Tigers, Emil Leonard and
Roger Wolff, Washington, Hank Borowy, Yankees, Steve Gromek, Indians,
Russ Christopher, Athletics, Jack Kramer, Browns, pitchers.
During the All-Star gap in the schedule, a series of seven War Fund
games were played July 9 and 10, which drew 169,880 and $244,778. They
resulted in a five to two victory for the American League, with results
as follows: White Sox 5, Cubs 4 (ten innings); Yankees 7, Giants 1; Browns
3, Cardinals 0; Red Sox 8, Braves 1; Senators 4, Dodgers 3; Phillies 7, Ath-
letics 6; Reds 6, Indians 0.
THREE WINS IN ONE CITY IN THREE YEARS

During three successive seasons— 1895, 1896 and 1897— the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates won only a game a year in Baltimore, all three victories there being
pitched by Frank Killen, lefthander, as follows: June 12, 1895— over Charles
Esper, 5 to 1; August 31, 1896— over George Hemming, 12 to 7; June 19, 1897
—over Bill Hoffer, 7 to 1.

Holmes Sets Consecutive Hitting Mark

WESTERN fans
in 1945 when
didn't see Thomas Francis (Kelly) Holmes at any time
he was setting a new National League modern record
for hitting in consecutive games. While fracturing Rogers Hornsby's 1922
feat of hitting in 33 straight contests, the Braves' center fielder played
—
in 37 engagements between June 6 and July 8 27 at home, four in Brooklyn,
four in Philadelphia and two in New York.
Hank Wyse of the Cubs eventually stopped him in the first game at
Wrigley Field on July 12, Holmes being up four times without a safety. The
previous pitcher to put a cipher in Holmes' BH column also was a Bruin
Claude Passeau in the second scrap of June 3, that game also being played
in Chicago.
When the Boston headliner finally was halted," he had collected 66 safe-
ties for an average of .423. There was a remarkable evenness in Holmes'
—
batting 17 points more on the road than at home and one point more in
single games than in twin-bills.
Holmes, during his 37-game batting streak, drew 18 passes and fanned
—
only twice in the second game against Cincinnati on June 27 and against
the same club the following day.
Here are the facts on Holmes' modern National League record for hit-
ting in consecutive games, as supplied by the National League:

EDWARD MAYO
Second Baseman
Detroit Tigers
HAROLD NEWHOUSER
Pitcher
Detroit Tigers
Most Valuable A. L. Players for #45
THE NEW Detroit world's champions fared well in The Sporting News'
most valuable player awards for as Edward Joseph Mayo, aggressive
1945,
second baseman, won the prize as the American League's outstanding
player, while Harold Newhouser, the club's No. 1 pitcher, was given
the special trophy in the pitchers' division. Newhouser was a repeater, as
he won the same award in 1944.
In the Baseball Writers' Association's selection, Newhouser received the
Kenesaw Mountain Landis award for the second year in succession, while
Mayo, his teammate, was runner-up.
In a year in which the American League batting championship went
to Snuffy Stirnweiss of the Yankees with an average of only .309, the sec-
ond lowest in the league's history, Mayo, finishing the season with .286, was
the lightest hitter ever to win The Sporting News most valuable player award
in either major league. But what Eddie lacked in his batting average, he
made up in fight, hustle and team spirit. By many he was regarded as
the spark plug of the new Tiger pennant winner, and a vital factor in his
club defeating Washington by a narrow margin.
These high honors came to Mayo at the age of 32, after he had been
buffeted around in both major leagues. A member of the Giants and Braves
a decade ago, he was sent to Los Angeles, where he enjoyed five good sea-
sons. Drafted by the Philadelphia Athletics after the 1942 season, he played
the 1943 campaign with Connie Mack. At the season's close he was traded
to the Louisville American Association club, but after he had been on the
Colonels' roster only a few weeks, he was drafted by Detroit, and played
second base for the 1944 and 1945 Tigers.
Though Newhouser won four less games than his sensational total of
29 victories with the second-place Tiger club in 1944, the lefthanded Hal
again was the bellwether of Steve O'Neill's pitching staff, especially so
as big Dizzy Trout, handicapped at times by arm and back trouple, did
not have as successful a season as in 1944. Though Hal came up with an
ailing arm himself at one vital stage of the race, he finished with the fine
mark of 25 victories against nine defeats for a percentage of .735. After
being knocked out in his first World's Series start, Hal pitched two beautiful
games for the Tigers, including the deciding seventh game. However, the
awards were announced before the World's Series.
By an odd coincidence, Newhouser won the Baseball Writers' Associa-
—
tion honors in each 1944 and 1945 by the same number of points 236. How-
ever, while he beat out Dizzy Trout, his righthanded fellow pitcher, by
only four votes in 1944, he had a lead of 72 points over another teammate,
Mayo, in 1945. In scoring first place in the ballots the pair were fairly even,
Hal getting .nine to seven for Eddie.
Mayo beat out Stirnweiss, fleet-footed Bomber second baseman, by only
three points, the New Yorker finishing third, with 161 points. Dave Ferriss,
sensational freshman pitcher of the Red Sox, completed the quartette having
more than 100 points by scoring 148.
Mayo and Newhouser follow a long list of brilliant Tiger players who
have won earlier Most Valuable Player awards. As far back as 1911, Ty
Cobb won the old Chalmers award, getting 64 votes out of a possible 64.
Cobb, in 1911, and Ruth in 1923, were the only players who ever made a
clean sweep of all the firsts. It was the year Ty batted .420.
In 1934, the year Cochrane won Detroit's first pennant in 25 years, Mickey
received the BBWAA award for his inspirational play. When the Tigers
repeated in 1935, Hank Greenberg won both The Sporting News and Base-
ball Writers' awards. In 1938, Charley Gehringer, Detroit's old Mechanical
Man, took down combined award, as did Hank Greenberg for his contribution
to the Tiger pennant of 1940.
THOMAS HOLMES
Outfielder
Boston Braves
HENRY BOROWY
Pitcher
Chicago Cubs
:':-:'w..- . j£
Most Valuable N. L. Players for '45
THOMAS FRANCIS HOLMES, chunky Brooklyn-born outfielder of the
Boston Braves, was named by The Sporting News as the most valuable
player of the National League for the season of 1945, being one of the
few second-division players ever selected for this distinction. In the
special award for pitchers, instituted in 1944, Henry Borowy, who left the
American League Yankees on July 27 to cast his lot with the pennant-win-
ning Chicago Cubs, was the favored twirler.
As in the case of Borowy, Holmes is a product of the Yankee farm
system. A promising Newark rookie in 1941, he was permitted to go to
Boston when the Braves released Buddy Hassett to the Yankees. A steady
player in the National League for three years, in which he hit .279, .270
and .309, Holmes did not soar to top-ranking stardom until 1945, and then
he ran off with practically everything in the National League with the ex-
ception of the batting chamnionship. He lost that to Phil Cavarretta of
the Cubs in the last week of the season by three points, .355 to .352.
Holmes had a truly remarkable record in the fourth war year. Not
only was he the only major league player of the season to make 200 hits,
but he went well over that figure with 224. He also led the National League
in most total bases, 367; most extra bases, 143; most doubles, 47; most home
runs, 28.
In addition, Tommy hung up a modern National League record by hit-
ting in 37 consecutive games, the longest run of this century in the parent
major. Though Holmes' bat couldn't lift his club above sixth place, for
over half the season he kept the Braves within striking distance of the top
— and in the face of mediocre pitching. As late as July 12, the Braves had
a percentage of .500 and were only seven games out of first place.
Borowy, selected as the National League's outstanding pitcher, had a
truly amazing season. Considered the No. 1 pitcher of the New York
Yankees, he was sold by that club to the Chicago Nationals for $97,000 in
late July after the 14 other major league clubs had waived on Borowy, be-
lieving there was a catch in the request for waivers. One of President
Larry MacPhail's reasons for disposing of Borowy was that he couldn't fin-
ish games in the second half of the season. However, after going to Chi-
cago on July 27, Hank not only copped the pennant for the Cubs, winning
11 games and losing two, but appeared in 11 complete games. He won the
only three games which the Cubs took from the Cardinals out of 12 played
after he joined the club, twice defeating the runner-up team in extra innings.
Phil Cavarretta, Chicago first baseman, was voted the Kenesaw Mountain
Landis award by the Baseball Writers' Association as its choice for the
National League's most valuable honors. Cavarretta had a fine year, and
served as an inspiration to his club in the hard 1945 campaign. With 279
votes, Phil had a lead of 104 votes over Holmes, The Sporting News winner,
who was second, with 175 votes. Others with over 100 ballots in the BBWAA
poll were Charles Barrett, Cardinal pitcher, 151, and Andy Pafko, Cub
center fielder, 131. Borowy was sixth with 84 votes.
The only previous Boston National winner was Johnny Evers, captain
and second baseman of George Stallings' miracle Braves in 1914. The old
Chalmers award was discontinued after that year.
Chicago also has had few previous winners. Prior to Borowy and Cavar-
retta, only three Cub players have figured in these high honors. Frank
Schulte, former Cub right fielder, won the Chalmers car in 1911, the same
year Cobb had his perfect mark in the American. Rogers Hornsby won his
second official league award in 1929, when he helped bat Joe McCarthy's
team to a National League championship. In 1935, the year the Cubs won
the pennant with a 21-game September winning streak, the Baseball Writ-
ers' award went to Gabby Hartnett, the aggressive catcher.

THE FIRST World's Series played under the direction of the new com-
INmissioner, Albert B. Chandler, Detroit's Tigers, managed by Steve O'Neill,
defeated the Chicago Cubs, led by Charlie Grimm, to square accounts
between the two clubs, each of which has won a pair of Series from the
other. The American League entry took the set, four games to three, cap-
turing the second, fourth, fifth and seventh contests, being shut out in
the first and third, losing the sixth in 12 innings. It was the second most
opulent of all Series for the players, collectively, and brought forth a host
of new records, besides the financial mark.
The advantage of playing on the home grounds meant nothing to the
contenders, for the Cubs won two games in Detroit and the Tigers three
in Chicago.
It was the fourth meeting between the two teams in World's Series com-
petition, the Cubs winning in 1907 and 1908 and the Tigers coming out on
top in 1935. The score in games now stands Detroit nine, Chicago 13, with
—
one tie the inaugural set-to, when Charley Schmidt failed to hold a third
strike in the ninth inning on Del Howard and deprived Wild Bill Donovan
of a 3 to 2 victory over Orval Overall.
The scribes didn't particularly like the brand of ball displayed in the
1945 Series, but the fans reveled in the competition and the games pro-
duced the usual number of heroes.
Claude Passeau, once the property of the Tigers, limited the O'Neillites
to a lone single in the third game, duplicating Cub Reulbach's 1906 feat
against the White Sox and in reality surpassing it, since Passeau walked
only one man, who was erased in a twin killing, while Big Ed had passed
six, hit a batter and had two errors made behind him. Chicago's backing
of Passeau was perfect.
Hank Borowy, waived out of the American League, started the Series
with a six-single whitewashing job; took a beating in his second start; came
back as relief in the sixth game to win and prolong the Series and then
failed, but not unexpectedly, in the last battle.
Hal Newhouser got off on the wrong foot in the Series, failing to last
three innings in the opener; then displayed his expected form in the fifth
game, and in the seventh, with a slight rest, won the clincher. His strike-
out total of 22 was a new record for a seven-game Series, his victims being
Pafko, five times; Johnson and Hughes, thrice; Hack and Sauer, twice, and
Cavarretta, Livingston, Borowy, Merullo, Williams, Secory and McCullough,
once. Eight of the men fanned by Newhouser took the third strike with
their bats on their shoulders, Roy Hughes doing so all three times. Just
before the roof fell on the Detroit southpaw in the opening controversy,
—
he had retired the side on strikes in the second inning Hughes, Borowy
and Hack.
Virgil Trucks, in the second game, and Paul Trout in the fourth, were
the only other pitchers besides Borowy, Passeau and Newhouser who went
through their starts. Both won on a four-to-one basis and put the Tigers
back on even terms with the Bruins.
Hank Greenberg hit two useful home runs for the winners, one mean
ing victory and the other sending the contest in which it was made into
extra innings.
Outhit in the Series .263 to .223, the Tigers nevertheless outscored their
Windy City rivals by three runs, despite the shutouts pitched against them
by Borowy and Passeau. The O'Neill clan had the faculty of producing
48 bASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK
large innings, tallying five runs once and four runs on four occasions. The
Cubs had two four-run innings.
Chicago rang the scoring gong in 17 frames, Detroit in 13.
Cavarretta of the Cubs, with .423, and Cramer of the Tigers, with .379,
were the leading hitters of the clubs, the Chicago captain missing connec-
tions with the sphere only in one game the fourth, when Trout was oper- —
ating.
Greenberg had the most long hits —five. These were doubles off Borowy,
Derringer and Erickson and homers off Prim and Wyse.
Nicholson, hitting only .214, nevertheless drove in eight runs.
Cullenbine drew the most walks, with eight, and Johnson topped the
whiffers with a similar number. Cullenbine's free trips to first came from
Derringer, Erickson and Wyse, two each, and from Borowy and Passeau,
one each. Johnson's strikeouts were by Newhouser, three; Trucks, two;
Benton, Bridges and Trout, one each.
Leaderships in which there were dead heats were as follows:
—
Runs Cavarretta, Cramer and Greenberg seven. —
—
Hits Cavarretta, Cramer and Hack, 11.
The batting averages against the pitchers:
—
Tiger pitchers Bridges, .429; Benton and Tobin, .333; Newhouser, .301;
Trucks, .274; Trout, .196; Overmire, .190; Caster and Mueller, .000.
Cub pitchers—Borowy, .296; Erickson, .286; Wyse, .258; Derringer and
Prim, .250; Passeau, .123; Vandenberg, .056; Chipman, .000.

with eight runs and seven hits charged against him. Borowy yielded six
hits, all singles. Two came in the first inning, along with the same number
of passes, but Cramer hit into a double play, with the first two men on.

EARLY HOME RUN KING USED ALIASES

Charley Jones of Boston, first major league batsman to make two home
runs in an inning, also was one of the early members of Baseball's Alias
Brigade. Christened Benjamin Wesley Rippay, when he was born in Alam-
ance County, N. C, April 3, 1856, Jones used the nom de diamond of Charles
W. Jones all during his professional career.
Rippay-Jones blasted his two four-baggers in the eighth inning of the
game in Boston against Buffalo on June 10, 1880, off Pitcher Tom Poorman,
whose support was so loose that his teammates made 18 errors behind him.
Charley's first homer was over the left field fence, the second to the center
field fence.

THREE NEW MEMBERS OF 2,000-HIT CLUB

The major leagues' 2,000-Hit Club had three additions during 1945 Joe —
Kuhel of the Senators, Bob Johnson of the Red Sox and Stanley Hack of
the Cubs. The total membership of this exclusive swat society at the close
of the season was 82. Kuhel joined April 26, Johnson July 29, and Hack
August 30. They paid their dues with clouts off Clem Dreisewerd of the
Red Sox, John Niggeling of the Senators and Elwin Roe of the Pirates.
It will be a long time before anyone threatens the No. 1 spot now oc-
cupied by Tyrus Raymond Cobb, who collected 4,191 safeties before he put
his bludgeon into storage.
Mel Ott, Giant manager, entered the 1946 season only two hits behind
the total of George Herman Ruth, who, Connie Mack says, will not always
hold the major league record for home runs, and one safety behind Jesse
Burkett, who, old-timers say, was the best bunter that ever appeared in
fast company.

They're AH Cousins to Passeau
CLAUDE PASSEAU, Cub righthander and World's Series star of 1945, en-
tered the 1946 campaign with the best record of major league pitchers in
respect to defeating all seven rivals during a pennant chase. Last season
was the sixth in succession in which the Mississippian had earned de-
cisions against all other clubs in the National League. Bucky Walters of the
Reds dropped out of the victory-over-all rivals class after six straight sea-
sons, Morton Cooper after five.
A record that likely to be duplicated in a hurry belongs to Wil-
isn't
burn Butland of the 1942 Red Sox. He chalked up a total of seven wins
that year, each against a different team.
All told, in the last ten seasons, 121 pitchers have finished with victories
over all seven rivals. The list:

Southworth -Dyer Pilot Shuffle

MOST important and surprising shift in recent major
managerial
THE
league history was made November 6,1945, when it was announced that
Billy Southworth, successful and popular pilot of the St. Louis Cardinals,
resigned to accept a three-year contract as manager of the Boston Braves,
a team with which Southworth played in 1921-22-23. The managerial va-
cancy on the St. Louis bench was filled by the appointment of Eddie Dyer,
former manager of Cardinal farm teams and director of the Cardinals Class
AA farms when he retired from baseball to go into private business in 1944.
The move caught everyone by surprise, as Southworth was under a two-
year contract with Sam Breadon, Cardinal owner, which still had a year
to run. At the 1945 World's Series, President Lou Perini of the Braves
hinted to Breadon that he would like to have his manager to rebuild Na-
tional League fortunes in Boston. A few days later Southworth telephoned
Breadon, asking to be relieved of his St. Louis contract, so that he could
accept a "great opportunity."
Breadon failed to give his immediate consent, saying it left him "high
Sam Breadon (left), owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, and his new
manager, Eddie Dyer.
up in the air" as far as a manager was concerned. However, after consid-

erable persuasion he prevailed on Dyer to take a seasonal leave from his
Texas oil business and return to the Cardinal organization as Southworth's
successor. That cleared the way for the popular Billy to accept the Bos-
ton offer.
Southworth service twice as Cardinal manager, as he led the club from
the start of the 1929 season until July 23, in which period the team won 43
games while losing 45. His second engagement, starting June 14, 1940, when
he relieved Ray Blades, was one of the most successful managerial runs in
the history of major league baseball. Taking over a seventh-place club that
season, Southworth reorganized the team and it played .633 ball for the bal-
ance of the season and climbed to third place.
In 1941, his first complete season, the Cardinals were held back by in-
juries, but Billy finished a strong second to Brooklyn with a .634 percent-
age. In his three championship years, 1942-43-44, Southworth's clubs varied
only one game; the 1942 club won 106 games and lost 48 games and the
1943 and 1944 teams both won 105 games and lost 49. Despite the fact
that his 1945 club was badly shot up from further losses to the services
and suffered heavy injuries, Southworth's club fought the Cubs down to
the wire before finishing second with a percentage of .617. Billy's six-
year sojourn with the Cardinals saw the club win 577 games against 301
losses to play .657 ball. The record follows:

Branch Rickey Signs Two Negro Players

BRANCH RICKEY, who pioneered the farm system in the game, came up
with another revolutionary move when he authorized the signing of
two Negro players, Shortstop Jackie Robinson, formerly of the Kansas
City Monarchs, and Pitcher John Wright, late of the Newark Eagles,
to contracts with Brooklyn's Class AAA affiliate, the Montreal Interna-
tional League club. Both Negro players were tried out at the Montreal
camp at Daytona Beach, Fla., where the Mississippian, Clay Hopper, was
in charge.
Rickey made the nation's headlines, October 23, 1945, when his son,
Branch Rickey, Jr., an official in the Dodgers' minor league empire, and
President Hector Racine of the Royals signed Robinson in Montreal. Rob-
inson is a graduate of the University of California (L. A.), where he starred
in football and track, as well as baseball. He won a lieutenant's commis-
sion in the infantry during the war. Wright, a native of New Orleans, was
signed early in 1946. He served in the Navy, and in 1944 won 15 games and
lost four for the Great Lakes Naval Station All-Negro team, which won
the mid-western servicemen's championship.
The signing of Robinson was greeted by mingled reaction, though most
expressions were favorable. While it frequently had been denied that there
was an unwritten law against Negroes in professional ball, many fans
white, as well as colored—felt there was such an understanding. Though
there were a few minority reports, the general consensus was that inasmuch
as Joe Louis has been an asset to the ring, Jese Owens and Ralph Metcalfe
had worn the national shield with credit in Olympics, and Paul Robeson,
Kenny Washington and Bill Willis had served with distinction in college
football, the Negro also was deserving of his chance in professional baseball.
At first, there was strong objection from the promoters of the Kansas
City Monarchs, J. L. Wilkinson and Tom Baird, who threatened to appeal
to Commissioner A. B. Chandler, charging Rickey with interfering with
their property rights in the Negro professional league. However, with most
Negroes elated that Robinson was getting his chance, the promoters, both
of them white men, soon dropped their protests. Robinson, at the time
he signed, said: "Guess I'm just a guinea pig in this experiment." Though
William G. Bramham, head of the minors, announced he would promulgate
contracts for any Negro players in good standing, he referred to Rickey
as a baseball Moses, and said Father Divine would have to look to his
laurels as Harlem soon might erect a bigger Rickey temple.
However, contrary to some reports, Robinson and Wright were not the
first colored players in Organized Baseball. There were about 20 in minor
league ball in the '80s and '90s. The most famous was Catcher Moses Walker,
who attended Oberlin College and Michigan Law School, and caught for To-
ledo in the American Association when that circuit was a major league.
Walker once caught Hank O'Day, and later in Newark, Moses and George
Stovey, a righthanded pitching star, made up a crack colored battery.
CIVIC RECEPTION MARKS BOB FELLER'S RETURN

Numerous players discharged from service rejoined their teams toward
the close of the 1945 season, but none was accorded as rousing a welcome
as that which greeted Pitcher Bobby Feller's return to Cleveland, after
nearly four years in the Navy. Discharged at Chicago, August 22, Feller was
—
tendered a civic reception by 1,000 Clevelanders the next day an open date
— and then returned to the pitching mound the night of August 24; before a
turnout of 46,477, to defeat Hal Newhouser and the Detroit Tigers, 4 to 2.
The Tribal fireball ace yielded only four hits and fanned 12.

Esquire's All-Star Boys' Game

ANOTHER victory— the second—was chalked up for the East team over
the West in the All-America Boys' game sponsored by Esquire Maga-
zine at the Polo Grounds, August 28, 1945. The Babe Ruth-managed
youngsters put over a three-run, ninth-inning rally to defeat the team
managed by Ty Cobb, 5 to 4. The game was played at night before 23,617
fans, as compared to a turnout of 17,803 in 1944 for a contest staged in
the daytime.
Proceeds of the game were donated by Esquire to the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis and the American Commission for Living War
Memorials. The score of the game:

McCASKEY, KAISER WIN BAT TROPHIES

Arden (Cotton) McCaskey, 18-year-old first baseman with Bristol of the
Appalachian League, topped all minor league hitters in 1945 with an average
•of .375 to win the Louisville Slugger Trophy, a full-sized sterling silver bat
presented annually to the minors' leading batter. McCaskey, playing his
second season in Organized Ball, gained the honor by a one-point margin
over Lew Flick, Milwaukee outfielder and winner of the 1941 award while
with Elizabethton in the Appalachian loop. Donor of the trophy is the Hil-
lerich & Bradsby Company, Louisville, Ky., maker of Louisville Slugger bats.
Award of the Spalding Cup, discontinued during the war, was resumed
for 1945, with Outfielder Al Kaiser of the Newark Ohio State League club
gaining the prize by leading all first-year players with a .328 average. The
previous winner of the award, presented by A. G. Spalding & Bros., was
Jimmy Blair, with Petersburg of the Virginia League in 1942.
When and Where Ruth Hit His 60 Homers
CONNIE MACK, talking to a Florida scribe last winter, said someone even-
tually would shatter George Herman Ruth's 1927 record of 60 home
runs. The 60 were hit in 52 games and represented a total of 99 runs
batted in. Thirty-three pitchers yielded these drives, the Babe's "cous-
ins" being George Walberg and Milton Gaston, each being nicked for four.
Ruth equalled his 1921 mark of 59 four-baggers in his 149th game of
1927 and surpassed it in his 150th. He missed four contests during the year
—a double-header against Philadelphia, June 26, and single contests against
the same team the two following days.
The Babe's favorite month for hitting homers in 1927 was September, his
favorite inning the first, and favorite day Tuesday, with Sunday a close sec-
ond. Twenty-eight of his four-masted shots were clouted at Ruppert Sta-
dium, 32 in foreign orchards. Outside of New York, George Herman hit the
most homers at Boston and the Red Sox pitchers suffered more than any
other set.

TWO MAKE THREE BOBBLES IN INNING

George Metkovich, Boston Red Sox first baseman, and Kermit Wahl,
Cincinnati shortstop, each came up with three errors in one inning in a
—
game during 1945 the American leaguer in the seventh frame on opening
day, April 17, against the Yankees; the National leaguer in the eleventh
round, September 18, against the Braves. And the errors, made behind
Pitcher Rex Cecil and Earl Harrist, respectively, figured in the ensuing de-
feat each team.
of
Metkovich began his three-error inning by fumbling Garbark's drive.
Chasing the ball, he made a wild throw in the general direction of Cecil,
who had started moving toward first. Metkovich later fumbled Hershel
Martin's grounder, whereupon Derry cleared the bases with a grand-slam
—
homer. The final score New York 8, Boston 4.
Wahl opened his jinx round by dropping Miller's throw to force Gil-
lenwater, following up with a wild throw trying to keep Holmes from scor-
ing. Then Kermit fired Masi's grounder past first for his third straight error
and Gillenwater tallied. Shupe flied out to retire the side. Final score
Boston 3, Cincinnati 1.
Y
National Semi-Pro Tournament

finishing as runners-up for the national championship during the
AFTER
two previous years, the Enidairs, representing the Enid Army Air Field
of Oklahoma, swept seven consecutive games in the eleventh annual
U. S. finals, sponsored by the National Baseball Congress, at Wichita,
Kan., in 1945, to gain the title of No. 1 non-professional club of the United
States. In qualifying for the finals, the Enidairs won the 1945 Oklahoma
state championship, decided at Oklahoma City.
The Enidairs were awarded a "ceiling" purse of $10,000, plus mileage,
for winning the national crown. Orlando Army Air Field of Florida, which
lost to the Oklahomans in the final game, 4 to 1, although outhitting the
champs, eight to three, was presented with a check of $6,291.88, plus mile-
age. A record purse was distributed to the teams which qualified in the
national championship tourney, one disbursement including $5,729.21 in mile-
age allowances.
Ten teams shared in prize money, with the Greensboro Ord-Hawks,
North Carolina champions, finishing in third place for the second consecu-
tive year. Because of a late ODT ruling, only service clubs were permitted
to participate, except for Wichita, site of the annual event. As a result,
25 Army teams, which had qualified as representatives from as many states,
competed with Kansas' industrial club, Cessna Bobcats, which had previ-
ously won the state crown.
Recognized 1945 state champions included: Gadsden (Ala.) Goodyears,
Williams Field, Ariz., Camp Chaffee, Ark., Atwater (semi-pros), Calif., Jack-
sonville (Fla.) Downing Bros., Fort Eenning Vets, Ga., Gowen Field, Idaho,
Chanute Field, 111., Fort Wayne (Ind.) General Electrics, Davenport (la.)

TEN PUTOUTS FOR NICHOLSON IN RIGHT FIELD

It seldom happens that an outfielder, a right fielder particularly, reaches
double figures in putouts in a nine-inning game, but Bill Nicholson of the
Cubs accomplished this feat against Brooklyn, September 17, 1945, behind
the pitching of Derringer, Erickson and Warneke. He caught ten fly balls,
—
retiring three Dodgers Herring, Stanky and Olmo in the sixth. — Other
innings in which Nicholson was active were the fourth, fifth, seventh, eighth
and ninth. Bill's best customers were Stanky and Galan, each of whom
flied out three times. Bordagaray was retired twice, Herring and Olmo
once each.
Dick Fowler's No-Hitter for A's
CANADA supplied the major leagues with one of their leading hitters years
ago —James (Tip) O'Neill, from Woodstock, Ont. —but until September
9, 1945, no pitcher born in the Dominion had come through with a no-
hitter in a big-time circuit. On that date, Richard John Fowler, right-
hander, born at Toronto, pitching for the Athletics in the second game of a
double-header, won over John Miller of the Browns, 1 to 0, on ninth-inning
clouts by Peck and Hall, the outfielder's smash being a triple. Fowler was
24 years old at the time and had been out of the Canadian Army only 25 days.
Fowler, the fourth hurler to toss a no-hitter for Connie Mack, walked
— —
four Byrnes, Finney, Gutteridge and Stephens and two were obliterated
in double plays, started by Hall. Fowler's strikeout victims were Byrnes
and Laabs, twice; Christman and Stephens, once.
Fowler was discovered by the late Dan Howley and signed to a Toronto
contract, April 19, 1939, at a salary of $100 a month. He was to get $250
every 30 days if he remained with the Leafs that year, but he failed to
stick at the start. He was at Cornwall, Batavia and Oneonta before he be-
gan pitching for the Leafs late in the 1940 season. A year later the A's,
under their agreement with Toronto, bought him for $7,500.
Previous no-hitters recorded by Athletic pitchers were:
—
July 22, 1905 Weldon Henley against St. Louis, winning over Pelty, 6
to 0. Caught by Barton. Fanned two, walked three, one error made be-
hind him.
—
May 12, 1910 Chief Bender against Cleveland, winning over Linke, 4
to 0. Caught by Thomas. Fanned four, walked Terry Turner.
—
August 26, 1916 Joe Bush against Cleveland, winning over Coveleskie,
5 to 0. Caught by Picinich. Fanned seven, walked Jack Graney, first bat-
ter. Had been knocked out of box day before.

Major League Meetings
ALTHOUGH wartime transportation restrictions
league officials did an unusual amount of traveling
still prevailed, major
in 1945, shuttling be-
tween Chicago, Washington and New York for meetings, first to name
a successor to the late Commissioner K. M. Landis, next to set up the
machinery under the jurisdiction of the new commissioner, Senator A. B.
Chandler, and then to enact legislation providing for changed conditions
created by the ending of World War II.
Following the death of Landis, November 25, 1944, a temporary set-up
placed the supreme power of the game in the hands of Presidents William
Harridge of the American and Ford Frick of the National and Leslie M.
O'Connor, secretary to the commissioner. In the meantime, a committee
of four, consisting of Donald Barnes of the Browns, Sam Breadon of the
Cardinals, Philip K. Wrigley of the Cubs and Alva Bradley of the Indians,
was named to consider candidates for the office of commissioner, which,
it was decided in a meeting in New York, February 3, should be continued
under the same terms as that governing the Landis regime, with one major
change. That exception amended a clause in the Major League Agreement,
continued until January 1, 1970, to read that the commissioner could not
declare legislation "conduct detrimental to baseball" without having his
decision subject to review.
Several meetings of the nominating committee were held without any
agreement and no successor was expected to be named when the majors met
in joint session at Cleveland, O., April 24, to hear its recommendations, which
consisted of a long list of names that finally was reduced to six, including
Ford Frick, James A. Farley, Fred Vinson, Robert P. Patterson, Bob Han-
negan and Governor Frank Lausche of Ohio. At the suggestion of Larry
MacPhail, president of the New York Yankees, the name of Senator A. B.
(Happy) Chandler of Kentucky was added.
What was called an "informative" poll was taken among the club
spokesmen, all of the 16 major clubs being represented by their presidents,
except the Philadelphia Athletics, who sent Roy Mack. Chandler's name
appeared among the first three on all 16 of the first informal ballots. Finally,
the choice simmered down to Chandler and Hannegan, chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, and Breadon moved that a formal election
be held. The first ballot credited Chandler with 11 votes and Hannegan
with five. When the second ballot showed Chandler with the necessary two-
thirds, 12, and Hannegan, four, a unanimous vote was then cast for Chan-
dler and he was declared elected as successor to Landis. Chandler accepted
from Washington by telephone and later named his secretary, Walter W.
Mulbry, as secretary-treasurer, and Leslie O'Connor, who had held that
office under Landis, as his special assistant.
Chandler was given full control of the funds handled by the commission-
er's office, the date of his resignation from the Senate was left to his dis-
cretion and his appointment of Mulbry confirmed at a joint meeting in Wash-
ington, July 12. The new commissioner formally assumed the office and,
while taking cognizance of the changed agreement, declared he would con-
sider himself sole judge of all cases held "conduct detrimental to baseball."
Plans for a $50,000 promotional campaign and further definition of the
rights of returned servicemen were made at a meeting of the Postwar Plan-
ning Committee of the majors and minors with Commissioner Chandler m
Washington, August 15 and 16.
In the meantime, a campaign of sniping at Chandler reached a climax at
the World's Series, when it was reported the club owners were dissatisfied
with the conduct of the commissioner's office and were considering the
purchase of his contract. Representatives of 13 clubs met in an extra-
,84 BASEBALL GUIDE AND RECORD BOOK
ordinary session in Chicago, October 8, and passed a * ôiution that stated:

"There is no basis of fact to the story."
Chandler formally resigned as U. S. Senator in Washington, October 29,
—
and then went to Chicago to preside over his first draft meeting the last
held in Landis' office, the headquarters of the commissioner being moved
to Cincinnati, O., the latter part of December. Ten players were selected
in the annual draw.
Harmony between the majors and Commissioner Chandler was empha-
sized at the annual meetings of the American and National leagues and the
joint session, December 10, 11 and 12, in Chicago. The proposal adopted
by the minors to take the promotional office out of Chandler's headquarters
and from under his supervision was withdrawn in favor of a plan to be
outlined by him for submission later; the major-minor pacts were continued
for one more year and the "conduct detrimental to baseball" clause in them
rewritten to conform with that in the Major League Agreement. The no-
bonus plan also was shelved for another to be submitted at the February
meeting.
The commissioner voted with the National League for unrestricted night
ball in 1946, except on Sundays and holidays, with the consent of the visit-
ing clubs required in the scheduling of all nocturnal contests. The National
also voted to prohibit the scheduling of twilight-night double-headers, but the
American League made exceptions in cases of postponements. It was de-
cided to resume the All-Star game to be played at Fenway Park, Boston,
July 9. An agreement was reached on a ban against signing a high school
player until after his class graduated, or if he had been out of school for
a year or longer, with the consent of his parents, on special permission by
the commissioner after 15 days' notice of granting of such permission.
Major status was denied the Pacific Coast League, but sympathy was
expressed for its aspirations and a further study of the subject suggested,
while the higher rating of AAA was ratified for the Coast loop, the Inter-
national League and American Association. However, the greater territorial
protection aaked by the three leagues was denied. Postwar rules for re-
instated servicemen were amended to give them protection for one year
from date of reinstatement, regardless of unconditional release, transfer or
other change in their status following reinstatement. For the purposes of
all player limits applicable to reinstated National Defense players, it was
held immaterial whether they are reinstated to the club's own list or ac-
quired as free agents or by assignment of contract; furthermore, the as-
signee club must assume the entire salary specified in the contract with
the assignor club, unless stipulated otherwise, but, for the purposes of sal-
ary limits, only an amount equivalent to the average salary of the assignee
club's league shall be charged against its salary limit.
Action was taken on the bonus question at the meetings in New York,
February 1 and 2, 1946, when a bonus player was described as one receiving
$6,000 or more in the majors his first season, $4,000 in the Triple-A leagues,
or 15 per cent of the average salary of a lower-class circuit. A rule was
adopted prohibiting such a player being optioned, or assigned to a lower
classification without waivers being asked, which requests cannot be with-
drawn, and making his contract subject to unrestricted selection. Penalties
of a $2,000 fine for a major club, $1,000 for a minor league and $500 for
any individual were provided, with the player to be made a free agent, in
cases of violations. The amendment, however, was voted down by the minors.
Similarly, penalties were provided for the signing of high school play-
ers in contravention of the rule adopted in December, with $500 fines levied
on the clubs and ineligibility of one year inflicted on individuals for viola-
tions. The amendment later was ratified by the minors by a mail vote.
The leagues voted to discharge the Baseball Equipment Fund Commit-
tee, which during its years of operation received funds of $328,023 and dis-
bursed $319,578. The $7,500 remaining in the treasury was given to the Na-
tional Baseball Museum and Hall of Fame at Cooperstown. The name of
the War Relief and Service Fund, Inc., also was changed to Baseball Wel-
fare Fund, Inc., to control moneys contributed to the National Association
of Professional Ball Players, the game's aid society. It was voted to return
the proceeds of the All-Star game to this fund and to double the regular
admission prices for the contest to be played this year.
Commissioner Chandler scored a victory in his promotional program, as
it was voted to set up a department in his office "to stimulate and encourage
baseball" under plans to be drawn up by him.
The National Defense Service List was discontinued after May 15, 1946,
with players entering military or naval service after that date being placed
on a Government Service List, not to count in any player limit until rein-
stated, and being placed on the active list in the same manner as voluntarily
retired players.
The commissioner voted with the National League to extend to June 15
the date by which the active player lists must be reduced to 25.
Restoration of the ban on signing, or approaching, American Legion junior
players before the completion of their tournaments each year also was passed
The National League did away with unfinished games and hereafter they
will be considered complete as of the end of play, when halted. National
League players also were made eligible for second games of double-headers,
when banished by the umpires in curtain-raisers.
FORTY-FOURTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF MINORS
Although considering a record mass of legislation at its forty-fourth an-
nual convention in Columbus, O., December 5, 6 and 7, 1945, including the
ratification of a new Major-Minor League Agreement and Major-Minor League
Rules, most of the work of the National Association, the governing body of
the minors, proved futile, because of subsequent disapproval by the majors.
As a result, the pact that has bound the majors and minors together for
years, which had expired January 12, 1942, was again extended for another
year.
The chief differences of opinion between the minors and majors cen-
tered on the authority of the new commissioner, A. B. Chandler, who ap-
peared on the floor of the convention to appeal against the passage of laws
he said were personally obnoxious to him, but which were approved. These
included the creation of a promotional department outside his jurisdiction;
complete autonomy for the National Association except in cases of players
where claims of more than $300, or free agency, where involved; setting up
of the Major-Minor Advisory Council to hear disputes to consist of the com-
missioner, the president of each major league, the president of the National
Association and chairman of the Executive Committee, with a majority vote
prevailing; the limitation of the right of the commissioner to nullify legis-
lation on the ground of being "conduct detrimental to baseball," and com-
plete prohibition of payment of bonuses.
Only the "conduct detrimental to baseball" limitation was approved by
the majors, but it was made to read the same as a similar limitation incor-
porated in the Major League Agreement, to which Chandler subscribed when
he was named commissioner. The promotional department was restored to
the commissioner's office, the bonus ban was modified, with the new plan
submitted to the minors for a mail vote, and the other proposals were auto-
matically eliminated by failure to ratify the new pacts and the continuation
of the old.
A new classification, Triple A, was provided for the three highest minor
leagues, with a higher draft price of $10,000, instead of $7,500. The Ameri-
can Association, International and Pacific Coast circuits qualified for the
new classification and the Southern and Texas moved up from Class A-l to
AA. The Sally League advanced to A, the rating held by the Eastern, giv-
ing the minors two loops of that classification for the first time since the
old Western also enjoyed that distinction. The Pacific Coast League also
was granted permission to withdraw from the minors' organization, if con-
ceded major status by the big leagues, but the latter turned down the
Coast's bid.
Regulations passed by the minors and subsequently approved by the ma-
jors included:
The assignee club to assume the entire salary of a National Defense
player, unless the clubs party to the assignment agree otherwise.
Clubs can unconditionally release a National Defense player at any time
after reinstatement (waivers having been granted to the club by clubs of
the same classification) upon written request for free agency from the player
without liability on the part of the club for any payment of salary.
Before a reinstated National Defense player may be unconditionally re-
leased, waivers must be secured in the classification in which the player's
contract is held and all waiver requests in contemplation of such uncondi-
tional release must specify that the request is being made for the purpose
of unconditional release. Waivers may be asked at any time, but cannot
be withdrawn.
Any club can make any player subject to selection by designating his
contract as available to unrestricted draft.
Clubs desiring to cancel right of recall on contracts under optional as-
signment may do so on five days' notice, when the optionee club must either
accept the outright assignment for a cash consideration of not less than $100
or give the player his immediate release.
A player under optional assignment shall count only in the total under-
control-players limit of the optionor and only in the active-player limit of
the optionee.

STANKY SETS NEW BASE ON BALLS RECORD

Edward Raymond Stanky, Dodger shortstop, put into the discard Jim-
my Sheckard's walking record for the National League that had endured
since 1911, establishing a new mark on the last day of the 1945 season.
Then, in Philadelphia, September 30, the Brooklyn player received a free
ticket to first from Hugh Mulcahy, late of the armed forces, making his
year's record for bases on balls 148 against Sheckard's 147.
Four passes from a group of Phil pitchers on September 28 put Stanky
within striking distance of Sheckard's record.
Here is the way Stanky broke Sheckard's base-on-balls record:
Passes from clubs—New York, 25; St. Louis, 24; Philadelphia, 23; Bos-
ton, 22; Cincinnati, 19; Pittsburgh, 18; Chicago, 17.
Passes by months—September, 38; August, 27; June, 26, July, 25; May,
23; April, 9.
Passes in games— One in 53 games; two in 35 games; three in seven
games; four in one game. Walked in 96 games; failed to receive a pass in 57.
Longest stretch of games with passes, eight (twice)— First, nine passes,
ended against Chicago, June 29 (Vandenberg, pitcher; second, 11 passes,
ended against St. Louis, August 14 (Brecheen, pitcher).
Longest stretch of games without passes, five— Walk famine ended against
Cincinnati, July 5, when Bowman issued three complimentaries to Stanky.
However, the Dodgers were beaten. 6 to 4.
Passes at Ebbets Field— 76 in 77 games.
Passes in other parks— 72 in 76 games.

Junior World's Series

MEETING for the second time
Colonels, managed by Harry
in the Junior World's Series, Louisville's
Leibold, defeated the Newark Bears, led
by Bill Meyer, four games to two, reversing the result of the 1940 set.
The easterners, beaten three times at home, came back to take the
first two games in Louisville and were on even terms with the Kentuckians
in the final fray until the eighth inning. Then Lindsey Deal, former per-
former in the Shaughnessy-directed circuit, blasted a single off Jack Farmer
to score two runners and promote another win in the junior classic for
the American Association.
The series started in rainy weather, with the scheduled opener being
called in the third inning with Newark leading, 3 to 1, and the games were
finished in chilly temperatures, before shivering fans.
Commissioner Albert B. Chandler saw the first game in Louisville, when
the series shifted to that city, but the Colonels blew up in the eighth before
their fellow Kentuckians, the Bears picking up seven runs on only two hits.
Rex Cecil turned in two victories for the Leibold-directed team, includ-
ing the clincher.
Frank Shofner was Louisville's leading hitter, while Jerry Crosby paced
the Bears. Their averages were .545 and .267, respectively.
The Colonels outhit their competitors by .088, but the losers were superior
in the field— .971 to .941.
—
The total attendance for the series was 57,544 29,073 at Louisville and
28,471 in Newark. The largest turnout in each city was exactly the same
—14,586.

the American League attracted 5,433,791 and the National League 4,848,162
Led by the Detroit Tigers with 1,280,341— only 9,081 short of the Yan-
kees' 1920 league mark—the Harridge circuit produced a new league standard
with 5,580,420, surpassing the former mark of 5,433,791 made in 1940. Three
National League clubs topped the million mark, but the league total of
5,371,082 fell short of the circuit's all-time high of 1930.
Minor league attendance for 1945 also showed an increase, attracting ap-
proximately 9,900,000 for the regular season and an additional 920,000 for
post-season series.
Among the lower-class loops, the Piedmont League drew approximately
595,000 for the regular season and 65,000 for the playoffs; the Inter-State,
330,854 and 38,873; the Carolina League, 451,400 and 31,000; Appalachian, 94,529

WALK COOPER DEAL AMONG BIGGEST OF ALL-TIME
Considering deals for straight cash, with no players involved, Sam Bread-
on's sale of Catcher Walker Cooper to the New York Giants for $175,000,
January 5, 1946, was the biggest in the game's lengthy history. At the time
of his sale by the Cardinals, the big backstop was still in the Navy, though
he was expected to be discharged just prior to the 1946 major league openers.
The deal also ranked third among all-time player transactions. It was
topped only by the Joe Cronin deal of 1934, in which the Boston Red Sox
paid $250,000 and Shortstop Lyn Lary to Owner Clark Griffith of Washing-
ton for his scn-in-law, then manager of the Senators and the game's No.
1 shortstop; and by the Dizzy Dean deal of early 1938, which saw the Car-
dinals, receive $185,000 and Pitchers Curt Davis and Clyde Shoun and Out-
fielder Tuck Stainback from the Cubs for their ace hurler.

TRAUTMAN SUCCEEDS ZELLER WITH TIGERS

While Walter O. Briggs, president-owner of the Tigers, was accepting
congratulations on his good fortune in winning the 1945 World's Series,
his joy was tempered by a loss. He had in his hands the resignation of his
able general manager, Jack Zeller, who had been with the club for over a
quarter of a century and in complete charge since 1942.
Jack had tried to resign before, but Briggs had said: "You can't resign.
I won't accept your resignation."
However, this time Zeller was determined, and his resignation took effect
January 1, 1946. Zeller, 62, retired to his home at Fort Worth, Tex.
If Owner Briggs lost the capable Zeller, he acquired another first-class
—
baseball man with a wealth of experience in baseball as Jack's successor in —
George McNeal Trautman, president of the American Association from 1936
to 1945. Trautman embarked on his new Tiger job after the December,
1945, league meetings.
A former minor league pitcher and a club owner at 25, Zeller, a native
St. Louisan, held almost every post in the Tiger organization. A lieutenant
in World War I, he served as instructor in bayonet work and musketry. In-
terested in Texas' postwar oil boom, on the side Zeller did some scouting
for the Fort Worth club, with which Detroit then had a working agreement.
That brought him in early contact with the late Frank Navin, former Tiger
president. Navin early recognized his acumen and that Zeller was a keen
judge of young players and offered him a job as full-time scout in 1926.
From scout, Zeller became director of associated Detroit clubs with
headquarters at Beaumont. The Briggs ownership called Jack to Detroit
to serve as general manager in 1938.
George Trautman was born in Bucyrus, O., and is a graduate of Ohio
State, where he was the pitching member of a prominent battery, Traut-
man and Bricker. Trautman then was known as "Red" and "Blondie"; his
catcher was John Bricker, three-time governor of Ohio and Republican can-
didate for Vice-President in 1944. For the last 30 years, George has been
active in the civic and sports life of Columbus. He succeeded Larry Mac-
Phail to the presidency of the Columbus Red Birds in 1933 in the early days
•f the Cardinal ownership of that franchise, and was elected
president of
the American Association as a successor to Tom Hickey in 1936
Trautman
always has retained his interest in college athletics; he is a former member
of the athletic staff at Ohio State and for five years was
a member of the
National Intercollegiate Rules Committee on wrestling.

McBRIDE DROVE IN SIX RUNS IN INNING

Tom McBride, gift of Bonham, Tex., to the game and Boston Red Sox
outfielder, became the second American leaguer to bat in six runs in an
inning when he accomplished the feat against Washington on August 4, 1945.
In the fourth inning, McBride clouted two extra-base drives, each time with
three on, and leaving no one on the paths except himself. He tripled against
Ullrich and doubled against Cleary in the order named.
When Fred Merkle of the Giants batted in six runs in the first inning
against the Cardinals, May 13, 1911, with a home run off Harmon and a
double off Lowdermilk, he was the first man to face both pitchers. The
game was played at the old Hilltop grounds in New York, the Polo Grounds
having been destroyed by fire on April 14 of that year.

323 OF OTT'S 510 HOMERS AT POLO GROUNDS

Rounding out his twentieth season in the majors in 1945 with 21 home
runs, Mel Ott of the Giants joined Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx as
the only major leaguers ever to hit as many as 500 four-baggers in the
Big Time. The popular New York pilot entered the 1946 campaign with
a total of 510 circuit clouts, while the Bambino completed his career with
714, and Foxx, who announced his retirement after playing with the Phil-
lies last season, accumulated 534.
Of Ott's 510 barrier blows, 323 were made at the Polo Grounds, with
its friendly right field stands. Master Mel also had his sights well set at
Baker Bowl, former home of the Phillies, where he smacked 40 home runs
in 12 years. The Giant skipper, however, has not hit a circuit blow in
Philadelphia since mid-season of 1938, when the Phillies shifted to Shibe
Park.

DERRY RECEIVES FIVE WALKS IN GAME

When
Russell Derry of the Yankees obtained five passes from a duo
of Detroit pitchers on September 6, 1945, the walks did not come con-
secutively. He started in the first inning by getting transportation from
Jim Tobin and in the third singled to right off the same pitcher. After that,
he was up four times, with no at-bats being charged against him. Walter
Wilson walked Derry in the fourth and George Caster in the fifth, seventh
and eighth.

HOME. 6ASE. and BATSMAN'S LINE.

As adopted at the meeting of the Joint Playing Rules Committee of the
National League and the American League, held at National League Head-
quarters, New York City, March 2, 1904. Amended February 14, 1906:
February 25, 1907; February 27, 1908; February 17, 1909; January 24, 1910;
February 13, 1914; February 13, 1916; February 10, 1920; February 23,
1921; January 29-30, 1926; December 12, 1930, by the National Joint Rules
Committee of Professional Base Ball; December 15, 1938; February 12-13,
1940. ,
Official text of the rules printed in large type. Explanatory notes in smaller type.
The Ball Ground.

RULE The ground must be enclosed. To obviate the neces-
Dal1
1 sity for ground rules, the shortest distance from a fence
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 To la Y off the 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.
From 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
PulltikexX Mote
Whenthe American Sports Publishing Company was taken
over by A. S. Barnes & Co., and the latter decided to forego
publishing the Spalding-Reach Guide, THE SPORTING NEWS
was given an opportunity to purchase the plates covering the
official rules and their interpretations by the late John B.
Foster, noted authority on rules. Following the meeting of the
rules committee at Belleair, Fla., February 12-13, 1940, nu-
merous changes in the playing code were made.
since has become apparent that along with the develop-
It
ment of the game different interpretations were necessary, and,
as a result, the notes explaining the rules have been completely
revamped by Edgar G. Brands, editor of THE SPORTING NEWS,
since 1930. As editor of THE SPORTING NEWS, Brands sat
in at the meetings of the rules committee at Belleair, and, in
answering questions on the rules, from all parts of the world,
he has been in closer touch, the year around, with the problems
developing on the diamond than any other man.
The opinions of men will always vary, according to Brands,
who declares there are no hard and fast rules with respect to
interpretations of the playing code. Brands believes, however,
the explanations accompanying the official rules are sound and
will help to clarify some of the moot points that have been
raised. The explanatory notes are fully protected by copyright
and must not be republished without permission.
RULE 2 —Continued
line AB; 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 lines H, and H F, each 90 feet in
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 302). If it is
possible to do so, have the home plate due north and the pitcher's plate due
south.
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.
RULE 2 —Continued
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.
Size of batsman's box, 6 feet by 4 feet.
Size of pitcher's plate, 24 inches by 6 inches.
Size of base bags, 15 inches square.
Home plate, 1 foot square, with the corners filled in on the portion fac-
ing the pitcher, where it will measure 17 inches across.
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.
A simple method of laying out a ball field with a piece of cord is as
follows:
—
First Get a piece of rope or cord, with no stretch in it. Second Meas- —
ure off the following distance and make a knot at each distance: 60 feet 6
— — — —
inches 90 feet 127 feet 3% inches 180 feet. Third Decide upon the loca-
tion of home plate (north and south is preferable, to avoid the sun in the
fielder's eyes); fasten the rope end to a peg at home and walk straight to
full length of rope; 60 feet 6 inches will be the pitcher's slab; 127 feet 3%
inches will be second base; put in spikes to mark same. Next fasten the
knot at 180 feet at second; grasp knot at 90 feet and walk out to right of
home until the rope is tight at all points; this will be first base; go to the
left in same manner and you will have third base. This can be done in less
than ten minutes. This method is good for use at picnics, outings or similar
events.
OFFICIAL DIMENSIONS OF DIAMONDS FOR BOYS UNDER

SIXTEEN YEARS OF AGE.
Distances between bases, 82 feet; home plate to second base, 115 feet
liy2 inches; same distance across diamond 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 P A at Z and draw lines Z J
and Z K at right angles to F A, and continue each out
from FA not less than 10 feet.
Sec. With F as a center and 60 feet radius, describe an arc
2.
cutting F A at L and draw lines L M and L O at right angles to

F A, and continue each out from F L not less than 60 feet, to form
the back stop line.
The Foul Lines.

RULE From the intersection point, F, continue the straight lines
4 GF 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
again and 75 feet radius, describe arcs cutting F G and
F H at R and S; then, from the points P Q, R and S draw lines at
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 With R
and S as centers and 15 feet radius, describe arcs
6 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 302) 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 tho same time one in each coacher's box.
The Three-Foot Lines.

RULE With Fas a center and 45 feet radius, describe an arc
7 cutting the line F G at the figure one (1) and from the
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.
The Batsman's Lines*

RULE °n either side of the line A F B describe a rectangle
8 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^ 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 of diagram of field (Page 302), 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 1. From point F measure along line F E a
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
Within the angle F, describe a five-sided
1.
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 F B 8y2 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. Within the angles at G and 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 and H
F, which squares H
KIXE 10 —Continued
shall be the location of the first and third bases, respectively.
At point the intersection of G
I, I and 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 H I. This shall locate second base.
Home Base and Pitcher's Plate Must Be of Rubber.
RULE Tne home base at F and the pitcher's plate at 4 must be

11 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 302), showing position of
home plate.
Particular care should be taken to have the edges of the home plate
EVEN with 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 Tne nrst base at G the second base at I and the third
>
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 linesdscribed in Rules 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 must

13 be marked with lime, chalk or other white material,
easily distinguishable from the ground or grass.
Rules 2 to 13, inclusive, describe mathematically how to lay out a dia-

mond professional contests.
for For schoolboys, the National Joint Rules
Committee recommends a smaller size diamond. Semi-professional and inde-
pendent games are played on diamonds of the regulation size.
A circle of about five feet in diameter should be marked
off about half
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 promptly take his place at bat and not delay the game.
The Ball.
RUUE Section 1. The ball must weigh not
less than 5 nor
14 more than 5% 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 league of which the contesting
the
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 pitcher 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.Immediaely 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,
RULE 14 —Continued
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 field during each championship game, ready for use on
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
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.
RULE 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 or a granulated substance applied to
it
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 rilling 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 T^ e
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
RULE 17 —Continued team run

name appears in the batting order of his for him except by
the consent of the manager or captain of the other team.
Sec. In event of the pitcher being taken from his pitching

4.
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.
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.
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
fine of $25 shall be assessed by the
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) a batter, when he takes his place in the batsman's box;
If
(3) If a fielder, when he takes the place of the fielder substituted

for;
(4) If a runner, when the substitute replaces him on the base he is
holding;
and any play made by or on such unannounced substitute shall be
legal under these rules.
It is always advisable to have a sufficient number of substitutes in
uniform ready to take the field in case any player shall become disabled or
be disqualified.
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.
It is the duty of the manager or captain of each team immediately to
announce changes of players to the umpire, and the umpire shall announce
them to the opposing team and spectators.
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
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 denned 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
denned 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 professional 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
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
2© 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 Weight of Gloves.

RULE Tne 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 1. must be furnished by the
Players' benches
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
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 1. It is a regulation game if the team second
23 at Da t scores more runs in eight (8) innings than the
team first at bat has scored in nine (9) innings.
Sec. 2. It is a regulation game if the team last at bat in the
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 a regulation game be called by the umpire
if it
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. be a tie at the end of nine (9) innings for
If the score
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
if the score equal on the last even innings played, when he termi-
is
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 its fifth inning, equal the score made by the opposing
team in five (5) complete innings, the game shall be declared legally
drawn, and all individual and team averages shall be incorporated in
the official playing records.
Sec. 6. It shall be a regulation game if at any time after five
(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,
or at least one run more, than the team first at bat, the score of the
game shall be the total number of runs that each team has made.
Sec. 7. Whenever two games are scheduled to be played in one
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.
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.
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.
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
favorin
24 °f the club not in fault, and the score shall be recorded as
9 to 0, in the following cases:
Section 1. If the team upon the field,

of a club fail to appear
or being upon the field, refuse to begin a game for which it is sched-
uled or assigned, within five minutes after the umpire has called
"Play" at the hour for the beginning of the game, unless such delay
in appearing, or in commencing the game be unavoidable.
Sec. 2. If, after the game has begun, one team refuse to con-
tinue to play, unless the game has been suspended or terminated by
the umpire.
Sec. 3. If, after play has been suspended by the umpire, one
team fails to resume playing in one minute after the umpire has
called "Play."
Sec. 4. If a team employ tactics palpably designed to delay or

shorten the game.
Sec. 5. If, warning by the umpire, any one of the rules
after
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.
In case the umpire declare the game forfeited he

Sec. 10.
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" by the umpire if he termi-
shall be declared
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
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 they are distinct contests, such as are morn-
ing and afternoon games.
THE PITCHING RULES.

Delivery of the Hall to the Rat.
RULE Section 1. Preliminary to pitching, the pitcher shall
27 take nis 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
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" For violation of any part of this rule

ball.
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. The pitcher must not raise his foot and wheel suddenly
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-
nned 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 solely to aid
the pitcher to dry his hands.
With runners on the bases, pitchers seek to gain an advantage by de-
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 pitcher's 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
pause in the delivery on reaching the normal pitching position. The pen-
alty a balk, if pitcher does not come to full stop.
is
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 section refers, of course, to when the batsman does not at-
tempt to strike at a When
fairly delivered ball. the batsman swings at
a pitched ball, fairly or unfairly delivered, it is automatically a strike
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.
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 delivers 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 the Game.

RULE Section 1. When the batsman
standing in his proper
is
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
2.
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 when a pitcher relieves another, the pitcher may
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
as one might say "for fun" or to delay a game. Wilful delay on the part of
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.
Ralks.
RULE A
balk entitling the base-runner, or runners, to ad-
31 vance one base shall be called by the umpire as follows:
Section 1. Any motion made by the pitcher while in
position to deliver the ball to the bat without delivering it, or to
throw to first base when occupied by a base-runner without com-
pleting the throw.
SEC. 2. Throwing the ball any base to catch the
by the pitcher to
base-runner without first stepping directly toward such base in the
act of making such throw; or throwing or feinting to throw to an
unoccupied base.
Sec. 3. Any
delivery of the ball to the bat by the pitcher while
the pivot foot is back of or not in contact with the pitcher's plate.
Sec. 4. Any delivery of the ball to the bat by the pitcher while he
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. After the pitcher has taken position, with both hands hold-
9.
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, it is not a balk 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
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 Not in Play.
RULE The dead and not in play:
ball is
32 (!) 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 itbe 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
runner, who was on second, scores. It all takes place with the position of
the runners at time the pitch was made.
Bail 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-
ing field. 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 RATSMELV.

The Batsman's Position.
RULE Each player of the team at bat shall become the batsman
34 an d 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 which is considered one of the essentials of the game, but
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 an d 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 first umpire. Then the visiting manager or captain, delivers
to the
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.
The Eirst Batsman in an Inning.

RULE After the first inning the first batsman in each inning
36 shall be the batsman whose name follows that of the last
man who completed his "time at bat" in the preceding
inning.
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
fa i r hit is
37 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
fou l hit is
38 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 legally batted ball that settles on foul ground is a foul hit, except
that a ground hit, should it roll from foul to fair territory between first
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
RULE -A- a ball batted by the batsman while standing
f° u l tip is
39 within the lines of his position, that goes sharp and direct
from 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.

RULE 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) from the home base, in which case the batsman
feet
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
compared with a cannon cracker. It is not a standard home run and
leagues should not attempt it.
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 an
improvised field, or upon a field that is limited in area and the 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.
A fair hit ball that strikes the ground and bounds over the fence or
into a stand on fair or foul territory shall be a two-base hit. If a fielder
attempting to make a catch of a fair fly ball, deflects it into a stand in
foul territory, it shall be a two-base hit. However, should he deflect such
a fair fly ball into a stand on fair territory or over the fence, it shall be
considered a home run.
Strikes
RULE -A- strike is:
42 Section 1. A pitched ball struck at by the batsman
without its touching- his bat.
Sec. 2. A fair ball legally delivered by 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 legal height, between knees and shoulder, a strike is called.
at the
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
RULE-42 —Continued
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
first 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.
An Illegally Batted Ball.

RULE -A- n 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 effort
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 Th e Batsman is Out:
44 Section 1. If he fail to take his position at the bat in
the turn in which his name appears in the batting
order.
But the error be discovered the proper batsman may replace the
if
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
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 is properly 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 take his position within one minute after the

fail to
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. he attempt to hinder the catcher from fielding or

If
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.
Sec. 6. If, base be occupied by a base-runner, the third
while first
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.
When the third strike hits the batter, the ball is dead and base-runners
are not permitted to advance.
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.
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 havea mistaken impression that the infield fly is operative with
a runner on or runners on first and third bases.
first only, 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.
Sec. 9. If the third strike be called in accordance with Sections

4 or 5 of Rule 42.
Section 9 is self-explanatory. The batsman is out on a bunt that rolls
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.
Sec. 10. If he steps from one batsman's box to the other while
the pitcher is in his position ready to pitch.
RILE 44 —Continued
Section 10 distinctly says, "while the pitcher is in his position ready
pitch."
to 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
batter 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.
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.
BASE-RUNNING RULES
Legal Order of Bases.
RULE Section The base-runner must touch each base in
1.
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, and 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 batsmanmakes a fair hit in which he is not put out he must
touch second and third bases and then the home plate in regular
first,
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 bail, or the ball held on the base said
runner was entitled to hold.
Section 2 to prevent a runner from reversing the bases, either for
is
the* purpose confusing the fielders or to make the game look absurd.
of
If a runner has left first base and has legally touched second base 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 he
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. In case a runner is being run down between the bases, and
3.
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
base. The runner who advances to the base in question is the who isman
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

who declared out therefor) shall not affect
is 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. No longer isthere any argument for
such a contention under the present wording.
When the Batsnian Becomes a Base-Runner.

RULE The Batsman Becomes a Base-Runner:
46 Section 1. 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.

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. 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 first base instantly after making a fair
hit, or when four balls have been called, or when three strikes have been
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
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.

specified, in the following cases:
Section 1. If, while the batsman, he becomes a base-runner by

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.

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 ts a succeeding batsman a base on

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 by a pitched ball, or because he has been
called, or for being hit
interfered with by the catcher, all runners on bases immediately ahead
of him may advance a base each without being put out. A runner on sec-
ond or third base with first 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

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 base-
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 proper place on his person, the runner or runners shall be
its
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.a thrown or pitched ball strike the person or clothing

If
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 foul 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
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 Bases.
RULE Tne base-runner shall return to his base without liability
48 to be put out:

caught.
Sec. 2. If the umpire declare an illegally batted ball.
Sec. 3. If the umpire declare a dead ball, unless it be also the

as described in Section 7, Rule 47.
In any and all of the foregoing cases the base-runner is not re-
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 not caught. The runner cannot
is
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 Tne Base-Runner is Out:
49 Section 1. If,three strikes have been declared
after
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) having made a fair hit while batsman, such fair hit
If,
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 — Base-runners are obliged to "tag-up" after the out has
been declared before they can advance.
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. In such cases the base-runners are obliged to retouch their
bases before they are privileged to advance, differing from Section 8, Rule
44, under which provision for infield fly, runners need not tag up.
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.
—
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's
pocket or other part of his uniform, or touch some
hat, cap, protector,
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 he be touched with the

hit,
ball in the hand of a fielder before he shall have touched first base.
Says

"fielder," because any
—can
fielder —
pitcher, catcher or first or second
touch the runner out if possible before the latter gets 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.
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. 6. running the last half of the distance from home base
If, in
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.
Sec. 7. running to any base, he run more than three feet
If, 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.
Holds the runner to the base line to avoid being touched by the ball
in the hand of a fielder. On the other hand, if the runner is trying for a
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 obstruct a fielder in attempting to field a batted ball, or inten-
tionally 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 out of his hand. The ball must be firmly held
it
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. Nete 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
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 ifthe 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
muffed, 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 hold and may be put out at the next base in the same
it,
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 except 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,
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 fly 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 shall be run unless necessitated by the batsman
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 obliged to return 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.
runner, in trying for a three-base hit, should fail to touch either
If the
first or 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 fail to return to and touch the base he occupied when
"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
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. with one out, or none out, and a base-runner on third
If,
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. Ifhe pass a preceding base-runner before such runner
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 forfeit 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
first base 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 fly, 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 or around 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 intentionally dropped fly applies to any fair fly ball not called an
infield fly by the umpire. A runner must tag up on an intentionally dropped
fly ball, but can advance on a dropped infield fly and is only obliged to tag
up on an infield fly if it is caught.
Base runner is in running to first base after hit or fairly bunted
out if
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.
When Umpire Shall Declare an Out.

RULE The umpire shall declare the batsman or base-runner out,
50 without waiting for an appeal for such decision, in all

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 in trying for a long hit or in returning to the base that he held orig-
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. be more than the legal number of coachers or this
If there
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 SCORING OF RUNS.
RULE One run 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 by 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
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 if the third man out is forced out or is put out before he reaches
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.
UMPIRES AND THEIR DUTIES.

Power to Enforce Decisions.

53 such are authorized and required to enforce each section
of this code. They shall have the power to order a player,

professional
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 °f 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:
(1) If the ball is hit fair, 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
leaves that base before a fly ball
is caught; (3) in case of a runner
being caught between third and home, when more than one base is
occupied, he shall make the decision on the runner nearest the home
plate.
Sec. 4. The Umpire-in-Chief alone shall have authority to declare
a game forfeited.
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.
The Field Umpire.

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.
No Appeal Front Decisions Based on

Umpire's Judgment.
RUUE There shall be no appeal from any decision of any umpire
56 on t ne 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
RULE 56— Continued

doubt, ask his associate for information before acting on the man-
ager's or captain's appeal. Under no circumstances shall an umpire
criticize or interfere with a decision unless asked to do so by his
associate.
An umpire may not change decisions of other umpire, or umpires.
Lattermay ask for a conference and then may change a decision if satisfied
he is in the wrong. Only the more obtuse decline to admit mistakes. No
manager or captain may protest a decision of the umpire where it is simply
a matter of judgment on the part of the latter. Many do protest, and that
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 but one umpire be assigned, his duties and jurisdiction
If
57 shall extend to all points, and he shall be permitted to
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 a manager, captain or
shall
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 Not Change Umpire.

RULE Tne umpire can not be changed during a championship
59 game 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 Rules.

RULE Section 1. In all cases of violation of these rules by
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.
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. 3. In cases where players show their disapproval of decisions
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
61 removing a player from the game, forward to the league
president a report of the penalty inflicted and the cause
therefor.
League President to Xotify Player Fined.

RULE Immediately upon being informed by the umpire that a
62 fine nas been imposed upon any manager, captain, coach
or player, the league president 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 When the offense of any person debarred from the game
g3 De °f 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
(J4 that the rules governing the playing implements and
markings of the field are strictly observed.
Ground Rules.
RULE Section In case of spectators overflowing on the play-
1.
65 m
IT field, the home manager or captain shall make special
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 it says. If the ground rules are not satisfactory to the visit-
ing club, the umpire has authority to make ground rules. Special ground
rules to govern various conditions of fields vary in different parks and
usually are agreed upon by the two managers with the umpires, before the
game.
Sec. 2. In all cases where there are no spectators on the playing
field,and where a thrown ball goes into a stand for spectators, or
over or through any fence surrounding the playing field, or into the
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
RULE 65 —Contnued
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.
Sec. The umpire shall also ascertain from the home manager
3.
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 Announcements.
RULE The umpire hour appointed for
shall call "Play" at the
66 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.
"Play" is the order of the umpires to begin the game or to resume it
after "Time" has been called.
"Time" is the order of the umpire to suspend play temporarily.
"Game" is the announcement of the umpire that the contest is termin-
ated.
Suspension of Play.
RULE T^ e
umpire shall suspend play for the following causes:
67 Section 1. If, 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
minutes he shall have authority to terminate the game if the resump-
tion of play be not possible.
Sec. In case of an accident which incapacitates him or a player
2.
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.
no such thing as automatic suspension of play. There are a
There is
number can happen, which eventually call for suspension of
of things that
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. While 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.
Be sure and have your watches agree when time is called as well as
before starting a game.
In threatening weather have the ground help have the paraphernalia
ready before starting the game so that the diamond can be fully protected
at once if rain does come.
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
clear off in a short while, wait another 30 minutes, but if you are positive
at the end of the first 30 minutes that further play is impossible you can
then suspend play for the day.
In case of a double-header wait an hour at least and be sure that
further play is impossible before calling game off.
First game must be completed before the second game can be started.
When a double-header is advertised do not call off the second game
no matter how long the first game has gone if there is a possible chance
to start the second. Start it and go as far as you can and everybody is
satisfied.
The umpire is the sole judge whether or not the second game should
be started.
FIELD RULES.
RULE No
person shall be allowed upon any part of
Section 1.
68 the field during the progress of a game except players and

coaches in uniform, the manager of each club, the um-
pires, such officers of the law as may be present in uniform, and such
watchmen of the home club as may be necessary to preserve the
peace.
This is not strictly observed in amateur games, but it is best to have
field as clear as possible.
Must Furnish Police Protection.

Sec. 2. Every club shall furnish sufficient police force to preserve
order upon its own grounds, and in the event of a crowd entering the
field during the progress of a game, and interfering with the play in
any manner, the visiting club may refuse to play until the field be
cleared. Ifbe not cleared within 15 minutes thereafter, the
the field
visiting club may claim and shall be entitled to the game by a score
of 9 runs to (no matter what number of innings has been played).
General Definitions.
RULE Section 1. "Play"the order of the umpire to begin
is
69 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 at Bat"
the term at bat of a batsman. It begins
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.
Sec. 6. "Legal" or "Legally" signifies as required by these rules

A time at bat "not being charged" refers to the score. For instance,
if Smith goes to the plate five times and makes three hits, and is given one
base on balls, and is hit once by a picched ball, he is charged officially in
the score with three times at bat and credited with three hits, while in the
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 for 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.
THE RULES OF SCORING.

RULE To promote uniformity championship games
in recording
70 the following instructions are outlined for the guidance of

scorers, who are required to conform to their provisions.
The Batsman's Record.

Section 1. The first item in the tabulated score, after the player's
name and position, shall be the number of times he has been at bat
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 iast half of final inning.
The Scoring of Rase 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.
When 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
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 battled 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-runner
attempts to steal, overslides the base and is tagged out. In other
words, the batsman 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.
A sacrifice hit shallbe 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 of opponents, if by each player
any, put out
shall be set down in the fourth column. When the batsman is called
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
with the catcher, or for failing to bat in proper turn, the put-out
shall be credited to the catcher. When a base-runner is declared out
on an infield fly, the put-out shall be credited to the player who would
have 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 ball 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. Anerror shall be given in the sixth column for each mis-
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
bases when perfect play would have insured his being put out. But
a base on a base awarded to a batsman by being struck by a
balls,
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
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 thejudgment 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. A
run earned off the pitcher shall be scored every time
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
relieving pitcher shall not be charged with his first batsman reaching
first base if such batsman had any advantage because of poor pitch-
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 error made 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.
Definition of Runs Ratted In.

Sec. 13. Runs Batted In are runs scored on safe hits (including
home runs), sacrifise hits, outfield put-outs, infield put-oats, and
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 infield double play or a double
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.

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.
