1 PUZZkfNG^PLAYS blS>ii \ JUDGING INFIELD FLY Are there any special methods nsed by major league umpires in guiding them as to what actually constitutes an infield fly, when ' there are runners on first.and sec- , ond or first, second and third and less than two out? a u n MAJOR league umpires have no set instructions to guide them as to what constitutes an infield fly. The calling of an infield fly resolves itself purely into a matter of

judgment. A certain hit ruled an infield fly by one umpire might not be so regarded by another umpire. An infield fly is merely a fair fly ball, other than a line drive, that in the opinion of the umpire can be handled by an infielder. The umpire should reach his decision as quickly as possible on

, *h infield fly and immediately let f the team in the field as well as the • baserunners know his judgment on the play. If he doesn't believe the fly ball j can be handled by an infielder, he | simply remains silent. If he be- ! lieves it can, he calls it an infield j fly. The calling of an infield fly auto- i matically retires the batsman, pro- ! tects the runners and permits them ! • to advance at their peril as on any" ; pther fly ball. After the umpire once rules a fair ! fly ball an infield fly. it makes no ! difference who handles the bail. If I an outfielder should make the plav | and muff the ball, it would not mat- j ter. Once the hit was ruled an in- I field fly, that settled it, the batsman j was out. An infield fly must, of course, be j * fair ball. There have been times ! where the umpire calls infield fly, j only to have the ball, because of a j high wind that is blowing, fall on j foul territory without being touched j by a fielder. This would be a foul! ball and could not be regarded as j an infield fly. The batsman would i simply hit over. BILLY EVANS QUERIES A. V. Davenport, Morgantown, Ind.— trhen catcher drops third strike and gets j runner at first, pitcher gets credit for a j *trike-out, catcher gets an assist and first baseman the putout. Gus Green, Trafalgar, Ind—For answer Jo your first -question, see reply to above. In your second query, with man on first and man on third and one out runner onthird can score on double play If said play retires batter before retiring man going to second and if runner on third crosses plate before man going to second" is tagged. In this case the last out is not a forceout because the force was lifted when batter was retired first. The runner who was on first could play “in between" until tagged. Merely throwing ball to second I would not retire him. TWO FANS—In a game the first two I tnen at bat hit safely but were put out, making two hits and two outs. The next three men each hit safely, bringing the inning's total to five hits with two out. The sixth man up connected with the ball. The batted ball hit the runner on his w-ay from second to third. "A" claims the runnel is out for being struck by a batted ball, although he does not deprive the | baseman of a hit, making six hits and no | runs scored. “B’’ claims the runner being struck and automatically out, robs the batter of a hit. Who is right? ANSWER—The batter is credited wUh a hit and the runner struck by ball iZ out, no runs scoring. Kenneth Roberts, Ingalls, Ind.— Yes, the base umpire is permitted to stand in the infield while the game is in progress. He must not stand immediately in front of a player, however. An easy way to add to the family • budget is to rent spare rooms. Viola Springer, 926 N. Meridian, quickly rented a room by placing a room for rent ad in Times wants ads."

Indorses Konjola in Order to Help Other Sufferers Started to Take This New Preparation Because He Recognized Its Merit. Konjola is today one of the leading proprietaries sold in the drug stores of Indianapolis. It is recognized as a medicine of merit by people in all walks of life. Many prominent citizens have indorsed it and

•v'

MR. W. H. FISHER by Northland studiohundreds of people in this city are now using it regularly as a tonic to keep their inner-systems toned up all the time. “The popularity Konjola has attained in Indianapolis is due entirely to the fact that this medicine does what is claimed for it and in most cases it gives the sufferer permanent relief,” stated the Konjola Man yesterday at Hook’s drug store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, where crowds of men and women are calling daily to hear his personal explanation of this celebrated compound. “I am a man of 53 years and know a good thing when I see it. I had faith in Konjola from the very first, even though I had tried many other similar preparations without any results whatever,” writes Mr. W. H. Fisher, 3429 Graceland avenue, this city, in his public indorsement about Konjola. Mr. Fisher is widely known through this city as a first-class carpenter and enjoys a fine business. “I was bothered with rheumatism for a long time and the pains settled in all of my Joints. The muscles in my legs and arms were so stiff and sore that I could hardly get around and this handicapped me very much in my work. The gnawing pains around my knees were terrible. They even kept me awake at night. This rheumatism affected my health in general and in spite of all the remedies I had tried, my condition was getting worse from time to time. “Konjola appealed to me when i heard it was made of 22 different roots and herbs and after making a few inquiries, I was convinced it was really a medicine of merit. My faith in it grew right from the start and each bottle brought me closer to new health and energy. Altogether. I have taken three bottles of Konjola and I can truthfully say this medicine has helped more than anything I have ever taken. Konjola is truly a great medicine and I am indorsing it in order to help others who are still suffering and need the encouragement c< someone they know.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, Indianapolis, where he ia daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merivs of this remedy. Konjola is sold in every Hook drug store in this section and by all the leading druggists throughout this vicinity.—Advertisement,
