Stealing home Is n piny that Invariably makes trouble for the

I "'OS Judgment.
In a game In one of the minors last year, there
Vas a runner on third with two down and the
pitcher up. The man on third was fairly fast,

j rAJ two strikes and no balls on the batter, the runner
w I vl frn.ii tlilnl mnde n break for borne on the next bull
Kf pitched. He had n pretty good start and his
I ) " i chances for making the plute looked fair. The
catcher, In his auxlety to retire the runner, rushed
i r.,.ni r ilia ninti. received the ball before
III , 1 villi v I
. .. M
It had passed over the plate, and rcureu me runner iru.u uiuu.
t Not thinking, the umpire waved the runner out, but Immediately al
lowed the run, as he realized where tne caicner was wneii ne i
the ball. He declared a balk because the catcher had left the line
of his position. The declaring of the balk entitled the runner from
third to score. Then another argument started. The batter Insisted
that he had Intended hitting at the ball, and, since the catcher had
gone In front of the plate und received the sphere, that player had In
terfered with his Intention of hitting. The umpire then allowed the
butsmati to go to first because of the catcher's Interference. There
was a big kick, but the umpire stood firm. The next fellow up hit for
a home run, winning the ball game.
What would you have done had you been In charge of the game,
and did the umpire rule correctly?
Answer to Problem.
The umpire was perfectly within his rights in declaring the balk,
ns the catcher had left the lines of his position to receive the ball.
Since the umpire declared the actions of the catcher as a balk, the
runner on third was entitled to score. The declaring of the bulk sus
pended play, making It Impossible for anything to happen afterwards.
The verdict of balk had priority over all other angles. In sending the
batter to first the umpire erred, for It was Impossible to make two such
..n.... i. .,. ,,i,.v With au Interference allowed on the batter,
there could be no balk, as such Interference would suspend play and
merely allow the batter first, but no base runners to advance unless
forced Consequently, the two runs resulting from his ruling and the
home run were illegal, and the president of the league was forced to
throw out the game and have It played over.
