Decision Causes Argument.

Umpire O’Brien in the American association has pulled a decision which will only increase the discussion as to why is a foul tip anyway? In a recent Louisville-Indianapolis game Clemons of Louisville, with two strikes called, swung at the third ball, hitting a foul tip which glanced high off the mack of Catcher Casey. The catcher caught the ball as it descended, and Umpire O’Brien ruled the batter was out on three strikes. There was a lot of argument but the decision seems to be correct.
