Team captains "Tucker" Ryan of the Anchors and Bruce "Boo" Mc- Galiiim of the Hawks. announced here yesterdly that they are plan- ning on getting their Old Timers Baseball League soriea rolling soon for possession of the Sutherland Trophy and the city Old Timers Baseball championship. . . .

It is the intention of the two squads to hold an open meeting at the L. P. U. l-lall this week to dis- cuss plans and draw up dates and schedule for a best of three game series for the City old Timers title, which is presently held by the Anchors.

Judging from the enthusiasm of the players themselves. it will---local ball fans will see the top ball players of former days don their uniforms again to bring to the balldlamond some of the old fiery spirit that. carried them through many a local baseball campaign in days gone by. . . .

If the forthcoming series pro- duces anything like the calibre of ball witnessed during their opening series last year, local fans can also expect to see plenty of smart. ball when the Hawks come out eager to do battle with the defending champ- ions in an ell out effort to take the trophy under their wing for the 1950 season. I . . . ' Donated last. year by Bob Suth- erland. the trophy is a challenge one. with the team winning it three years in a row taking permanent possession of the silverware. and with one leg of the three-year bat- tle already won. the Anchors will be a die-hard crew on the playing field in defence of their title. Both team officials stated last, night that all interested players are requested to attend the organization meeting. the date on which will be announced later. . . . "No wonder the umpire in charge of this game began to think the bats were loaded after presiding ov- er baseball's acrewiest. session". states Billy Evans. 22 yeairs an umpire with the American League. "In a freak halfinnlng of baseball.” quot- es Evans. "fifteen runners crossed the plate, the spree featuring three singles and" four drives over the fence in fair territory for what. ap- peared to be home runs. However. when the side was retired. the net results of the half inning were no runs and lines hits. Believe it or not this could happen. but we have nev- er been able to confirm it. .. . .

"rho first. two men up in the in- ning hit safely. putting runners on first and second. The third hatter hits the ball over the fence. three -runners crossed the plate. However. the pitcher delivering the ball to the batsman so hesitates in his delivery that the umpire calls a balk, which suspended play immediately and voided the home run that was hit on the pitch. since no runs can score on simh it play. the runners on first and second advance one base on the balk and the batsman who hit what seemed a home run, must bat again. This time he beats out I up to the pitcher..filllng the bases. 9 O

"The fourth batter of the inning also hits the ball Over the fence in fair territory for whet appears to be a home run, four runs crossing -the plaoe. It is then discovered thnt he is an improper batsman- An ap- peal is made to the umplire before I ball is pitched to next batter. The umpire voids the home run hit by the improper batter and rules out the proper batter. Since no runs can score on any act'of an improp- er batter. all three runners retuirn to their bases. By this time seven runs have crossed the plate and all have been voided.

.. . . "The fifth batsman follows with another apparent home run over the left field fence. when he hit the ball, both feet were out of the bat- tera box and the umpire declares him out. for batting illegally. This voids. the four runs that crossed the plots ,on the illegal hit-making eleven runs that have been erased. The sixth hitter. who is a switch bat- ter. has hit iefthanded on all his appeerances at the plate. The man. ager of the team in the field sends in a southpaw to bitch in him. not knowtns he is a switch hitter. While the pitcher is in the not of deliver. in; the ball. the batsman ateps from the left to the right. side of the plate and hits over the right field fence. four runs crossing the plate on his effort.
