"The average fan and many players" says Billy Evans, ”know far less about balks in baseball -than any other angle of the play- ing rules. in order to curtail base- runnxng. most pitchers seek to de- velop movcs that are on the bor- dcr line yet pass lnuster with the umpires. Here are some questions and answers on the balk rule that

should enlighten the subject. C C .

"'Does the calling of a balk on 3 iliicher in any way affect the stat- us of the batsman? It does not. The calling of a balk by the um- pire only affects the baaerul-mess. What happens when a balk is called on a pitcher? Play is im- mediately Suspended and all base- runners are entitled to advance one base on a balk ruling.

C O 0

"Can a balk be made to any base other than first base? A balk can be made to any of the four bases. which of course includes the home plate. How can a balk be made to the various bases? A balk to first is created by the pitcher when he starts to throw to first and fails to complete it. He makes a balk to second or third by fall- ing to step in the direction of either base before starting to throw. The balk to the plate is made when the pitcher fails to conform to the pitching rules, such as stopping in his delivery. as well as other infractions.

O O I

"If. after the umpire has called a balk on the pitcher. he still de- livers the ball to the batter, who hits safely, what happens? The calling of the balk suspends play. the batter who hit safely. must -bat over. Runner or runners are entitled to advance one base on the called balk. Has a pitcher the right to take a position of! the rubber and feign a delivery of the ball is the batsman? The pitcher has no such right. Such action on his part would be considered de- ception and he would be penaliz- cd by the calling of a balk with runners on.

O O

"Pitcher gets on the rubber without the ball in his possession. but makes no motion to pitch. is he within his rlghlsl, Getting on the rubber without the ball must be called a balk. It doesnlt matter whether he makes any motion to pitch or not; it is a ball: just the some if runners are on. The pit-

St. Louis remained a gamee and a half behind the leading Phils by humbling Brooklyn, also 13-3. Stan Mu'siai's 30-game hitting streak was snapped but he was about the only man the Dodgers did slop.

Chicago and Washington split a doubleheader. The White Sox came back to lake the second,6-3. behind Randy Gumpert after los- ing the opener 3-2. Billy Pierce held the Senators hitless for six and a third innings of the first game but blew up with a wild streak in the three-run eighth.

In a night game at Boston. Lefty Warren Spnhn hurled the Braves back into the National League's third spot by notching his 12th victory of the season with a 5-3 decision over Pittsburgh Pirates before a 8.302 crowdl.

cher gets on the rubber and ae- sumes legal pitching position, then drops his arms to the side while still on' the rubber. Is this a balk? it certainly is, After a pitcher once comes to his legal pitching position be t remove either hand from the ball. except in de- livering it in the batter or. in throwing to a base to catch a run- ner. To drop his hands to the side. he must first step off the rubber before doing so."

The athletic history of the Garden of the Gulf dates back to 1383. when the caledonlan Society held their first games. The records chalk- ed up on that occasion. some of which stand to this day. testify to the high class performances and the general success of the Ill-llIY133l It is interesting to note that these games have been an annual event almost ever since. and to the Gale- donia: Society goes the credit of having nurtured athletics in this Pro- vince.

In i895 came a new order of thinks.

and amateur sports came into exist- ance. The credit for the change was due largely to Messrs. A. E. Ings, A. A. LeFurgey. B. C. Prowse. J B. Dawson and G. J. Rogers. The first amateur races took place at Sum- nlerslde, and consisted of three ev- ents. The interest in them preaaged well fpr future competitions. and when in the fall of the same year a meet was held in Charlottetown. 3,000 persons wltnssed the event, the largest crowd ever seen at a sports event in the Island. , Tile entry list was also a large one. the young fry were quick to recog- nize the difference between com- petition for spcrts' sake and "for mere money prizes.

Lorne Unswortb was the bright star of the meet, winning every event in which he started. On the 27th of July. 1896. Unaworth was sent to Halifax to take part in a meet held in that city. Accompany- lng him was a chap by the name of Cook. Unsworih won the event-a two mile handicap-in quick time and received a big hand for his fine performance.

To Summerside belongs the honor of holding the first amateur gath- ering, August 10, 1898. The western town had its hero in the person of Frank Cannon, whom the Western folk considered invincible. while Charlottetown put its faith in Uns- worth. Lesser stars who took part in the meet were, .1. w. Humphrey. Moncton. and Fred Coombs of St. John. both outstanding athletes in

their own cities. The meet was up to everybcdy's expectations and a huge crowd witnessed the race.
