We heard a faint "I told yqjj so!" Rough riders, our tormentors. --IWhatever else Mr. Bonura may ever I do in his life, he has taken an awful blast at our side of the argument. !

You ought ta see : those fellows work to get the diamond in shape. • --1_ That baseball problem we had in last week about a Barrington batter i^oing to the bench, then first base following a dropped third strike, has caused quite a bit of discussion. -I- , John R. Schmitt, Jr., calls our attention to the fact that McHenry's catcher did throw to first, but j^te first 'baseman failed to touch first. ! • -- ! Well, as we see it, that wouldn't | have much bearing on the question, 'but a scorekeeper could charge an error against the first sacker for failing to touch the bag. --I-- The point was that the batter and everybody else left the field. The plate umpire, Bob O'Farrell of big league fame, merely called "three Strikes." He didn't call the man out. It was the base umpire who signalled that only two men were out. Then, the Barrington team hustled their man fiom the bench to first base. --a-- From the way the play is described to us, we see it this way: The runner became a baserunner as soon as the third strike was called. Runner could leave the base line within the first 45 feet between home and first and return. The umpire should not have indicated the number of men who were out. That mistake was Barrington's and it was up to them to discover their own mistake.. :--1~ • •, • And so it goes.
