H N! O I
Is it poseible for a te‘um second at
11:11 in the fifth inning or any in-
ning thereafter to win a game in
its half that is unfinished because
of being called on account of rain
or darkness?
For instance when the home team
goes to bat in the lust of the eighth.
the score is 4-1 against it. The home
team proceeds to score four runs
in its half and has low on the buses
and two out. when the umpire cells
the game.
What is the score?
l O t
The home team won the game
cited by the score [of 5-4.

umpire because of rain or darkness.
and the side second at but shall.
before. the completion of an inning
score at least one more run than
the side first at bat. the score shall
be the. total number of runs each

When the home team in the case
cited scored four runs in the last
of the eighth and only two were out.
it. had tallied one more run than the
side first at bat. since the score at
the start of the. inning was 4-1

The question is, does such a hob!-

l'lle'LLY 1N JESI‘.
L'mpiring isn't all serious, the ar-
bitrators do have their happy mom-
ents even if they are greatly in the
minority.
“Red" Faber. star pitcher of the
Chicago White flux. was recently
the victim of a. retort courteously
handed him by L'mpire George
Hildebrand. '
Despite the fact that the bases
were. tilled at the time and only one

gardless of the critical situation he

New Faber, as a rule. is one of
those pitchers \1 ho accepts the rui‘
ing or the umpires with little or
no objection. He lets the umpires
umpire while he does his best to
pitch.

"Brick" Owens. working the plate,
had passed two men with the count
three balls and two strikes. In each
instance the final pitch was just a
trifle too low.
Naturally Faber would have much.
preferred striking out the two men
rather than have them walk. By
his actions he made it apparent that
he didn't quite agree with “Brick"
on the two rulings.
“So you have turned umpire at
last,‘ ‘1'cinarkcd Owens, who was
rather surprised. also 11 bit pceved.

working back of the pitcher at the
time. while I was parREd at third
Almost beforc Faber had had

Hildebrand added:

pitcher than umpire." A polite. “my

SMART SIDELINE.
It is not unusual for the umpires
after the game is over to thresh
out among themselves some of
the happenings o fthe battle.
In these private conferences the
umpires often unfold views that
would never be expressed in front
of the players. Certain umpires
might even go so far as to admit
they might have missed a certain
play. the decision on which caused
a. ton gheated argument.
Dick Natlin. veteran American
League umpire. aside front his du-
ties of calling the plays as he see-
them. is the breeder of thorough-
bred hunting dogs. That's his side-
line. 1
A number of dogs from the Nellin
kennel have sold for as high as
$2500. while $500 is just an average
price.
These dogs are the last word of

plays 11 as rather debatable but. Nai-
lin always had an a11sw'ci for any

argument.
Half in jest. and half in earnest
Umpire George Moriarty ended 'the
debate in a happy manner when 11
remarked:

REI'ORT COURTEOI‘S.
Nailin. by the way, has :1 keen
sense of humor. He smooths over
many a serious moment by 11. happy
reply.
In 11 game at St. Louis one day,
Nailin twice called Roger Peckln-
paugh of Washington out it strikes:
Peck didn't like the in 'd one in
either case but made no comment
while at the plate.
There is a. clock at the St. Louis
park, also a. flagpole in center field.
flying one large American flag.
When Peck returned to the bench
in sarcasm he yelled to Nailin:
"How many hands on the clock.
Dick?" Quick to get Peck‘s infer-
ence. Nullin replied, “One"
"How many flags on the pole?‘_'
fu1thex queried Peck. "Two.“ was
Nallin‘s immediate comeback.

Peck. appreciating the humor of
Nailln's replies, threw up his hands
and yelled, “1' m hitting at every-
thing pitched during the rest of this
game.“
