Soon fans will be advising umpires to go and have their eyes examined, after calling a close one Just inside or Just outside the foul line. To take this wrangle-causing un certainty out of baseball a Wash ington Inventor. Allen R. Nelson has devised what he calls a foui ball indicator. It consists of a post, to be set at the far end of the outfield on the foul line, with a pair of crossarms from which a series of free-swinging rods are suspended Half the rods are thus in "fair" territory, the other half in "foul' Electrical connections from the rods are so arranged that if s batted ball hits one of the rods on the "fair" side it® will cause a green lamp to light up. while If the impact is against a rod on the "foul" side a red signal will be flashed to the batter-and he'll have to wait for a better ball.
