Softball Rules —
(Get these in mind before you
go to another gape. You will en
joy the game more. For the bene
fit of clarity some of the techni
1. A base runner is out if he
cal words are omitted.)
fails to avoid a fielder attempting
to field a hatted ball. In other
words if a person is fielding the
ball in the base line the runner
must avoid running into him or
may be called out.
2. If a baseman catches a ball
before the runner gets there, and
is still juggling the ball, the run
ner would be safe.
3. The plate umpire is the chief
umpire and is responsible for the
proper conduct of the game.
4. An umpire may reverse a
decision, if he finds he has erred
in judgment or after a consulta
tion with the other umpire.
If a pitched ball passes the
catcher and touches any fence,
building or backstop within twen
ty-five feet of the plate, all base
runners are entitled to advance
one base.
6. On overthrows that go out of
the playing field and hit some
kind of obstruction, the baserun
ners are entitled to advance one
base. If no obstruction is hit, they
may advance at their own risk.
7. If a baserunner misses a base
and decides to return, he must run
the bases in reverse order. For
example a man hits a homer,
misses second base and after
crossing home plate decides to go
back. He would have to follow
the base lines, touch third and go
back and touch second.
8. If a batter is hit by a pitched
ball he is entitled to take his
base. However, he must make an
effort to get out of the way of
the ball, or the umpire will call
the pitch a ball or strike.
By a grounds rule of the league;
if a pitched ball hits the ground
and bounds into the hitter, the
pitch shall be called a ball.
9. At least five innings must
have been played before any game
may be called a regulation ball
game.
NORDHIELM LEADS
METHODISTS TO VICTORY
The Methodists and Orphanage
caught up with the rest of the
league as they played in a pre
liminary to the All-Star game on
Friday evening. The Orphanage
took an early lead and the Metho
dists had to make a desperate
rally to win in an extra inning.
Nordhielm again led the hittters
with four for five, including a
triple. Cooper had a homer for the
greatly improved Orphanage team
while Packett and V. Cooper came
through with doubles.
