PLAYER ‘TURNED WRONG’ WAY

Fred Snodgrass Declared Out After Making Safe Hit—-Ambled Leisurely Toward Second. It’s been a long time sinae a player was called out for “turning wrong” after reaching first base, but that’s what happened to Fred Snodgrass in a game in the recent Boston-Philadel-phia series. Fred hit a single and ambled down to first, then leisurely walked off toward second, without returning to touch the base. The ball, returned from the outfield, was put on him atod the umpire said he was out, in spite of Boston protest.
