PUZZktNG^PLAYS B®l WHEN BALL IS DEAD What is the line of demarcation as to when a batted ball is dead or in play after striking the person of the umpire? CERTAIN conditions definitely govern when a hatted ball is dead or in pHy after coming into contact with the umpire. If the field umpire is standing back of the pitcher and the infield is playing back, the ball is dead if it strikes the umpire, provided no one has made a play on it. In other words, if the umpire is hit by a ball that travels directly from the bat to the umpire, no player being in a position to handle

same, the ball immediately becomes dead. The batsman is entitled to first base because the umpire was unable to avoid the ball. He is credited with a base hit. No baserunners can advance on the play unless forced to make room for the batsman. If some fielder

Evans

should make a play on a batted ball and it should later come into contact with the umpire, no consideration is given the fact. The ball is in play and baserunners advance at their peril. If the infield is playing in close, with a view of making a play at the plate, and the umpire is in a position back of the infield, the ball is considered in play if ft should strike the person of the umpire after having passed the inflelders. It is obvious that there is no chance for the infield to make a play cp a ball that has passed it and then strikes the person of the umpire. For that reason the ball is considered in play, as it would be an injustice to make the ball dead on a drive that had cleared the infield and then struck the umpire. RIVERSIDE ROLLER RACE Bobby Wiliams, Syracuse (N. Y.) fighter, here for his match with Howard Bentz of Milwaukee at Ft. Harrison next Tuesday night, will act as judge of the girls’ skating race at Riverside roller rink Saturday night.

BY C. D. STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, June B.—The outstanding track stars of the United States gathered here today for the annual National Collegiate Athletic Association track and field meet. Several records were expected to fall before the completion of the finals Saturday. Only preliminary events were to be run today. The outstanding feature of the meet was expected to be the contest between Stanford and the University of Illinois for team supremacy. Illinois holds the Big Ten Conference title, while Stanford won the eastern title and is rated the class of the west coast. This year’s entry list represented one of the greatest collection of stars ever gathered for the meet. The meet mark for the 100-yard dash was :09.8, set by De Hart Hubbard in 1925. Simpson of Ohio was considered the probable winner. His record is :09.6, set in the Ohio relays. The 440-yard dash record of :48.5, made last year, also appeared to have little chance of standing. Spencer of Stanford, Walter of Northwestern, Baird of lowa, Snider of Alabama, Poly and Gist of Chicago were listed as favorites. The mile and the two mile marks —4:17.6 and 9:31, respectively—were almost certain, to fall. Abbott of Illinois has run the two-mile in 9:23.7 this year. Orval Martin, Purdue’s brilliant miler, was favored in that event. Seventy-eight universities were represented in the meet.
