PUZZUfNG t?LAYS B®l] ADVANCEMENT OF RUNNER When can a runner properly advance on a fly ball that is caught? Must he wait until the bail is firmly held by the fielder making the play or can he advance the moment the ball strikes the hands of the fielder? If a ball strikes the hands of one player, bounds out and is caught by another before it touches the ground, does it make any difference in the advancement of the runner? ABASER.UNNER has the right to advance on a fly ball that is caught the moment it strikes the hands of the fielder, provided he returns to his base and holds it until such a thing happens. If it was necessary for the baserunner to hold his base until the

ball was firmly held. player s would make a practice of purposely juggling the ball and running in with it at the same time, in order to lessen the runner’s chance to advance. This would place the runner at the mercy of

Evans

the infielder. Thus the rule gives the runner the right to advance the moment the ball strikes the hands ci' the fielder making the play. It makes no difference in the play if the ball bounds from the hands of one fielder and is recovered by the other before touching the ground. The runner is within his rights in advancing the moment the ball strikes the hands of the first player nicking the play. While at times it may seem that the runner should be made to hold his base until the actual completion of the play, such a procedure would offer him no protection and make him an easy victim for trickery on the part of the fielder.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Indians Strive to Retain Position on Heels of Leading Blues. f COLONELS DOWNED, 2-1 Dixie in Form: Haney Makes Game-Saving Play. BY EDDIE ASII Bruno Betzol’s Indians downed the Colonels Thursday, 2 to 1, crept within a game and a half of first place in the spectacular race in the Hickey loop and today the home pastimers were carded to open a. series with the Minneapolis Millers that will extend through Sunday. The fans couldn’t ask for more than the Indians have been dishing out recently for the club has won nine of its last eleven starts and horned its way from sixth place to second and on the heels of the Kansas City Blues, who are out in front in the American Association flag chase, aft:r a comeback following a slump. Dixie Delivers Dixie Levcrett, aided by a beautiful stop by Fred Haney, disposed of Louisville Thursday in a rapidfire fracas that was over in 1 hour 33 minutes. Fred’s great play occurred in the seventh inning and cut off two runs. Olivares was on third and Ganzel on second with two out when Acosta crashed a sizzling ground liner to Haney's left. The speedy Tribe third sacker pounced, stabbed with his glove and came up with the sphere by a one-handed slop that brought groans from the Colonels and gasps from the fans. A tess to Holke retired the side. Last Colonel Threat It was the final Louisville threat, for Lcverett held the visitors hitless in the last two rounds. Haney also figured in the third inning rally that produced two runs and victory. Leverett walked after one out, advanced to third on Matthew's double and scored on Warstler’s infield out. And then Haney scored Matty with a double. Leverett held his opponents to seven hits, fanned five and fielded his position in exceptional manner. Malcolm Moss. Louisville southpaw, also was stingy with hits and gave up only six, Holke getting three, Haney two and Matty one. The third was his only bad inning and the former Vanderbilt "U” star deserved much praise for his performance. Warstler, Tribe shortstop, and Funk, Colonel third sacker, went through without getting in the putout or assist column. Olivares, Louisville shortstop, h3d plenty to do with eight assists and one putout. Walter Holke, batting righthanded, nicked Moss lor three singles in a row. Loftus made a long run to get Connolly's drive In the fourth. Matty reached first three times In four on one hit and two walks. Dean batted for Olivares in. the ninth and Leverett knocked dowfi his twister and got him at first on a close decision. Toledo won the only other tilt played in the A. A. Thursday, downing Columbus. The western clubs spent the dav traveling. The Millers arrived here during midafternoon and went to Washington Park with the expectation of viewing the Tribe-Colonial fracas. But when they entered they were dumbfounded to find the contest in the eighth inning: The Miller pastimers didn’t know the city was using swift clocks. Pongo Joe Canlillon. Chicago Cub scout, watched the Thursday struggle. Hank Schreiber, Indianapolis, former Indian shortstop, released by Beaumont, Texas League, has been signed for the Quincy Three-I team. Pat Bauman, veteran infieldcr out of this city, also is back from the Lone Star circuit. Elmer Yoter, former Indiana third sacker. is here with the Millers.

Champ Yankees Far in Lead as They Turn West By United Prexx NEW YORK. June I.—The New York Yankees are off on their first western invasion of the season, leading the American League parade by a margin of seven and onehalf games over their nearest rivals. The first quarter of the major league season is past, and the pennant is nearly cinched for the world’s champions. Miller Huggins’ men have only to maintain an even pace, winning as many gabies as they lose, to bo assured of their third successive championship. Asa matter of fact, no one expects the Yankees to lose as many games as they win on their western trip. They should return to New York on June 19 more safely than ever established in first place.
