Universal Polo at
Panama Exposition
Exciting Game To Be Opening Feat
ure of Great Affair—Stand
to Seat 18,000.
UNUSUAL RULES AND
PLAYS IN BASEBALL
(No. 6.)
By J. W. Heisnian.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.. Aug. 16.—
Universal polo will be the opening fea
ture incident to the department of live
stock at the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition.
There will be many stables on the
site, and the race track infield will af
ford an ideal location for polo grounds.
Polo enthusiasm is spreading all over
the world and it is proposed to have
ten or fifteen days of polo, beginning
with the opening day of the exposi
tion.
A series of elimination matches will
be arranged, and because of climatic
advantages a number of the established
teams will winter their ponies in Cali
fornia.
There will be a grand stand which
will seat 18,000, and its capacity will be
taxed ^luring the great tournament,
which will be held on the exposition
grounds.
The question of cups and prizes is
now being considered. If the Hurling-
ham cup still remains in this country
it is possible that the international polo
match can be held at San Francisco.
That, of course, is a question which
can only be decided by time, but in
any event representative teams from
manv countries will be attracted to a
universal meet at San Francisco in
1015.

O RDINARILY a new pitcher may
be substituted for the one al
ready performing at any stage
of the game—even in the middle of
a batter's turn at bat; that is, after
he has delivered one or more balls
to that batter, who has, however, not
yet either reached first or been put
out. As I have already pointed odt
though, the second pitcher must, in
such a case, stay in the box until
this batter, who has already faced
one pitcher, is either put out or has!
reached a base; he can not be com
pelled to face three pitchers during
one and the same time at bat.
But there is one case in which the
Datter can not be compelled to face
even two pitchers during the one time
at bat; that is to say, the pitcher
who starts* in to pitch to him must
continue until he has either been put
out or has reached base. And that is
the case of the batter who goes first
to the plate in the first inning of
the game. After the umpire has once
announced who the pitchers are to be,
those pitchers MUST go in and do
duty until they have either retired
the first batsman or lie has succeeded
in reaching his base. I fancy very
few people are aware of the existence
of this rule.
* • •
IF the first and third base lines are
1 extended indefinitely backward,
where they cross each other at home
plate, they will, of course, outline a
right angle triangle, with the apex
squarely at the point of the home
plate. Now this triangular upace be
tween the two base lines extended is
called the catcher’s line3 or position,
and no player of the side at bat has
a right to cross this space back of
the catcher while either the pitcher
or the catcher are standing in their
positions.
But this is not all. Did you know
that the catcher himself is not al
lowed to go over toward first or third,
to receive the pitcher’s delivery, so
far that he will be standing on ground
outside the lines pf his position? Oft-
times catchers, as everybody knows
move out and away from the batter
with the Intention of having the
pitcher throw the ball ao wide of the
plate that the batter can not pos
sibly reach it. They do this when
they intend to walk him. But in doing
this the catcher must have a care
that he does not 9et himself outside
the boundaries laid down for him by
the extended base lines. Delivery of
the ball by the pitcher to the catcher
while the latter is standing outside
these lines would be called a balk,
permitting all the runners on base
to move up one base each.
• • •
H ERE is a seeming anomaly in the
rules of baseball: Section 15, of
Rule 56, says that base-runner is
out “if with one or no one out and
a base-runner on third base the bats
man interferes with a play being made
at home plate.”
This is plain enough. But I have
been asked why the runner on third
—presumably coming in and trying
to score—shouldn't be called out Just
the same for interference on the pari
of the batsman when there were two
out as well as none or only one.
Well, >4n the great majority of times
when the batsman hits the ball, with
two men already out, the play is
made by the fielder to first ba.«*»;
and even if it isn’t made there tho
' batsman can surely do nothing to in
terfere with it at the plate inasmuch
as he is. or ought to be, on his way
down to first base.
But there could be a case all right
in which the play would be made at
home plate, with the batter still at
the plate and with two hands down;
and the batter could very palpably
interfere with the opponent’s attempt
to get the runner out coming
in from third. That, of course, would
be the case of the runner on third
trying to steal home. In such an
event the Latter might not strike at
the ball, and the catcher might catch
it all right. Then, when he advanced
in front of the plate to touch the
runner out as he came in, the batter
could certainly collide with him or
get in his way so as to prevent him
from touching the runner. And yet,
in a palpable case like this the um
pire could not call the runner out, be
cause the section above quoted says
that the case must be one in which
there is only one out or where nobody
is out. And yet there must be a
remedy for such a thing like this;
what is it?
The answer Is that, by Section 5,
Rule 51, the batsman himself (not the
base runner) would be out. And
as there are, under supposition, two
out already the batsman’s out would
make three, and the side would be
down without the runner’s tally be
ing permitted to count.
'‘But,’* someone hastens to ask,
“why not have the rule uniform?
Why shouldn’t the batter be the one
to be called out in both cases, since
he was the one who does the foul
and dirty work?” Simply because
with only one or none down to put
the batter out would be to add mere
ly another out as a penalty, and, the
side not having been retired, the run- I
ner from third would have to be
credited with the run he scored on I
the batter's foul work. This, of
course, would never do, else many a
weak batter would willingly get put
out himself if by so doing he could
surelv score a man of his on third
base.
Thus we see there is a rule and a
remedy for about every odd play that
can come up in baseball provided one
only knows where to find It. But one
who was familiar with the provis
ions of Rule 56 might have the other
case arise and then have the decis
ion go agaii.st him because the sup
plementary rule is found under head
ing No. 51. section fifth, of which he
had forgotten.
• • •
M ANY think that the batsman is
credited with a sacrifice every
time he hits the ball in such a way
that the runner already on gets the
next base out of It. It Is true that
in order to qualify with a sacrifice
the runner on must get his base ad
vancement out of it, but, further, the
ball must have been hit in such a
way as to make it apparent that the
batter intended to advance the bats
man, even while he subjected him
self to a strong danger of being put
out. Now, this can only be done by
a bunted ball. No one can swing and
hit the ball I * such a way as tu con
vince scorers or any one else that
they firmly Intended and expected
this metheod of going at the ball to
result in the runner getting on fur
ther while he was being put out; to
bunt the ball is the only known way
of signifying this definite Intention to
really sacrifice and, outside of the
outfield fly sacrifice, which scoreii a
man after it is caught, the bunt is
the only way in which a batter can
be cerdited with a sacrifice.
JAKE STAHL DENIES HE
IS TO SUCCEED CALLAHAN
GLOUCESTER, Aug:. IS.—The ru-
mor that Jake Stahl was to be given
the position as manager of the (Chi
cago White Sox and that Jimmy Cal
lahan, the present head of the team,
was to be deposed Is entirely without
foundation, according to Stahl, who
was Interviewed at Annlsquam yes
terday afternoon.
“No,” said Stahl, "I have no knowl
edge of my being picked for the posi
tion of manager, and I had not even
heard the rumor until you told me
just now. Rumors put me out of a
Job. I guess that is all this talk Is,
rumor. Those things hurt the club
considerably and It keeps the fellows
guessing as to the exact truth of the
matter. You can say for me that it in
a rumor pure and simple and one
without the least foundation.”
When asked If he would accept the
position if it were offered him, Stahl
declined to answer.
