Wills, the major leagues' leading base-stealer and holder of the all-time record of 104 stolen bases in one season, feels that teammate Davis' power keeps him from running up a substantially higher theft total than the 42 bases the center fielder stole last season. "The Year I stole 104," says Wills, "I got 170 singles. Willie doesn't get 170 singles. Out of 170 hits, he's gonna have 70 extra-base hits and 100 singles. So that means I got 70 more times on first base. When he hits a double, he's already in scoring position. When he hits a triple, he's even closer. When he hits a homer, he has no chance to steal at all. Then, too, the club doesn't want him wear ing himself out. "The only thing that holds Willie back is those extra-base hits," concludes Wills in the article.

We all can't be chiefs, some must be indians. That is the main reason someone is placed in charge of these athletic en gagements and the participants and the spectators must be will, inn to obey these men in blue. Disputes and quarrels burst out not only in local games but this is common on the profes sional level also. But we are concerned primarily with our lucal situation I'm sure all the sport readers of this paper are aware of the recent outbreak in the major league. The Min nesota Twins manager, Metele. was suspended, fined two -weeks ago for his violent action toward an umpire. The professional leagues and organized teams can really solve the "big bully" idea be cause the players are fined and suspended. By penalizing the olavers through fines, they will feel the results from their in voluntary action toward an um oire or any other official. Some say the ouickest way through violence is through a man's oocketbook. But here in our local soft ball and baseball leagues, we ure not fortunate because the loops are not in position to fine any plaver for his violent action toward an umpire. INTERPRETATION OF RULES ARE POOR I must acknowledge that most arguments are started because of close decisions by an official. But on the other hand, some disagreements are created by the prosecutor not knowing the rules of the game. Among the most common poor interpre tations of the rules are the In field fly rule and the force out rule. Some teams think the umpire is out there to take something from them. But if the infielders and outfielders did not make any more errors that the offi cial and if the pitchers did not ist to bo sign ad by Hi* drink firm for its now aorios of livo action commercials. Tho spot*, which featura har starring at Mr. Rally's, will bo scheduled on network TV beginning in tha fall. • M " r a throw any more balls than the umpire* make, then his team •aill be in pretty good shape. The one thing we all must understand and' accept for a fact that everybody is human and we all are subject to mis takes. Players and spectators always can see the error the umpires commit but they never see the balls the fielders drop or the mental errors the players make. YOUTHS ARE BEING TAUGHT WRONG The way this piller sees it, animosity in the officiating business will continue to grow because the youth of today are being taught the incorrect rules by the older persons.

Of course the older people are not always familiar with the current rules of baseball and consequently the youths are be ing taught antiquated rules of play. One way to solve this prob lem is for the adults to take the Initiative in reading and learning the rules of the game in order that they may be able to teach the younger boys the correct procedures of the game.
