Answering the Mail: If a
catcher drops a third strike, and
has to throw to first to retire the
batter, the catcher does not get
credit for an assist. The pitcher
is credited with a strikeout, the
first baseman a putout.
It is possible for a batter to
get credit for a run batted in on
a dropped outfield fly, with less
than two men out. If, in the
opinion of the scorer, a runner
on third could have tagged up
and scored, had the ball been
caught, it is rightfully a run
batted in.

If, with a runner on third, the
catcher makes no effort to
retire a runner stealing second,
it is still scored as a stolen base,
because the runner forced the
catcher to show his hand.
If a runner is trapped between
bases, each defensive player
who handles the ball during the
continuing play gets credit for
an assist, and the man who
makes the tag gets credit, of
course, for a putout.
There is no basis for a
protested ball game, if an
umpire in the opinion of the
protesting team makes a bad
call, as such. An error in
judgment can’t be protested, if
the rules of the game aren’t
violated.
The rules of baseball are
based oh common sense, and
most of the puzzlers that stump '
you in scoring a game can be
figured out with a little
reasoning. Every effort has
been made to be completely
fair.
However, it is inevitable that

The very society of joy
redoubles it; so that, while it
lights upon my friend it
rebounds upon myself, and the
Ix'ighter his candle bums the
more easily it will light mine.—
South.
The devil loves nothing better
than the intolerance of refor
mers, and dreads nothing so
much as their charity and
patience. James Russell
IX) well.
However exquisitely human
nature may have been
described by writers, the true
practical system can be learned
only in the world.—Fielding.
A really great man is known
by three signs—generosity in
the design, humanity in the
execution, moderation is suc
cess.—Bismark.
Fools with bookish knowledge
are children with edged
weapons, they hurt themselves,
and put others to pain. The half-
learned is more dangerous than
the simpleton.—Zimmerman.
6 Nothing is such an obstacle to
the production of excellence as
the power of producing what is
good with ease and rapidity.—
Aiken.
Give me the benefit of your
convictions, if you have any, but
keep your doubts to yourself, for
I have enough of my own.—
Goethe.
It is an error to suppose that
courage means courage in
everything. Most people are
brave only in the dangers to
which they accustom them
selves, either in imagination or
practice.—Bulwer.
To buy books only because
they were published by an
eminent printer, is much as if a
man should buy clothes that did
not fit him, only because made
by some famous tailor.—Pope.
Few men are so obstinate in
their athesim, that a pressing
danger will not compel them to
the acknowledgement of a
divine power.—Plato.
TTie best rules of rhetoric are,
to speak intellingently; speak
gets something that obviously
he didn’t earn. Take, for
example, the pitcher who is
blasts for several runs in the
first half of an inning, and is
removed for a pinch hitter in the
second half.
His team goes on to score
enough runs in the half of the
inning to take and continue the
lead for the rest of the game.
TTie pitcher who has been
blasted, and removed for a
pinch hitter before the winning
run was scored, still gets credit
for the vistory.
Because of this, Vida Blue,
who gave up three runs, was
credited with the victory in this
year’s Major I.eague All-Star
game. But how else could it
have been scored?
from the heart; have something
to say, say it; and stop when
you’ve done.—Tryon Edwards.
6 I have often said that all the
misfortunes of men spring from
their not knowing how to live
quietly at home, in their own
rooms.—Pascal.
Pride, the most dangerous of
all faults, proceeds from want
of sense, or want of thought.—
Dillon.
