The calling or "infield fly”. is
merely a, matter of judgment on the
part ofthe umpire.
When he docs so. he is of the
opinion ihat the fly ball can be
handled by an outfielder.
Such judgment on the part of the
umpire automatically retires the
batsman. regardless of anything that,
may later happen,
The fact that an outfielder insist-
ed on making the play, only to muff
the ball. has no bearing on the situa-
tion. The batsman is automatically
out when the umpire ruled "infield

Only a foul years back. when
Johnny Evcrs was in charge at Chi-
cago. he decided to use Falk as a
pitcher rather than an outfielder.
Just when it seemed his late was
sealed to go back to pitching. an in-
Jury to one of the Chicago outfield-
ers forced Falk back into the game.
It was at the Yankee Stadium in
New York and all Folk did to win
the game for Chicago was to make
two home runs and tum in a diiing
catch that saved the game after his
batting had put the W bite 801: out

‘bat and in the outfield ever since.
During his major league career.
Falk's lowest mark was made in his
first year. 1921. when he batted .285.
His best showing was in 1924 when
he totaled .352. Over a period or live
years in the big show he has an
average of .303.
This year he has hovered around
the .375 mark most of the time and
with the season two- thirds over has

Less Inside Ball
Connolly. who has seen baseball
iiom every angle from the days of
the Baltimore Orioles‘ marvel team
to the present time, doesn‘t think
there is as much inside baseball
played today as there was 15 or In
years back.
He attributes the falling off of the
lO-Cfllled inside stuff to the livcly
11.111. the popular dcmai’ld for more.
butting. a decline in pitching and
the custom of every batter taking a
healthy swing.
Connolly's opinion is that bettcr
pitching made for tight baseball. In
close score games a one or two-run
margin moans considerable. To 111-
tain such a load. clubs would resort
to all forms of strategy in theold
flflyl.
Working for one run calls for
smart stuff. while getting them in
clusters largely results from brute
fcrce.
