What would you have done if you were the umpire and the sit uation as described in the next to last paragraph occurred. “In a baseball game at College Station last Saturday this most unusual play occurred: “In second inning with Aggies leading, 3-0, Orville Long of South western Oklahoma Tech singled to center to open the inning for the Bulldogs. “Bob Henry followed with a single to center, Long stopping at k second base. Long was caught stealing and Henry held to first Imum}.' , j “The next batter, Bob Dial hit a ball into the greiund in front of the plate. There was some con fusion and question as to whether Umpire Jerry Bonneau called it fair or foul. Anyway, Aggiq catch er Bill Dennis didn’t wait to find out. He hustled in front of the platn, picked QP the ball aqd fired it to second-basoman Joe Savarino, who stepped on seebnd base, forcing Henry. Base umpire Frank Tongate called Henry out, making it two out. tb] “Meanwhile, Dial doubtless had decided the ball Was fair, for he tore out for first base and beat Savarino’s throw to first and was waved safe by base umpipe Ton- gate. it jj v ••^1 ■ the base, returned to the bat rack,' picked up his hat and started to ward the plate. H*nry of the Okla homans returned to first base. ★ “Second-baseman Savarino of the Aggies smelled • something wrong, ran over to Aggie first baseman Cliff Lindloff, got the ball and tore out toward Dial. With Dial walking leisurely toward home plate, Savarino tagged him BE HIND the catcher’s box, and when he did plate umpire Tongate wav ed Dial out for the third out of the inning. A big argument ensued, but umpire Tongate ^topped it by stating he called the ball fair in the first place and that Dial was but, having (eft first base at his own risk. “Quite unusual in baseball— a second baseman getting two put- outs on ONE play without fielding a batted ball. Also unusual—a sec ond-baseman making a putout BE HIND the catcher’s box! ★ “But what we want to know is this: “If Savarino HAD NOT been alert, when Dial returned to bat for the second time, would it have been up to the plate umpire to call him out for batting out of turn ? Or what procedure would have been followed ? “It did not cost SW Oklahoma Tech the game . . . the Aggies won 9 to 1.” rVlft I '■ jj i nc ; l 3 Ml rn K>n ch *dt iV ^ J vvl M 3 * ‘ ■ The Aggies number one half miler, BOB ATKINS, who from Lufkin, ran a 1:56, half to take first place in the annual angular meet between Texas A&M.

J. -W- Most folks raise birds because they’re taqie. The state of New Jersey is breeding some because they stay wild. The birds are bamboo partridge, a native of Asia, with a price tag of $25 a pair. Why wild? The state plans to liberate them on gunning pre- nerves. While the hunters are expected to shoot them event ually, the birds aren’t supposed to cooperate. Edward B> Roth, superintendent of the state quail farm, said it Is the first time he knows of that an effort has been made to use the Immlioo partridge as a game bird. There are only four pair at the farm, and they enjoy exclusive ouartara. "We can’t put them with the quail until we're sure (hby have no disease,” says Roth. The birds weigh 10 to 11 ounces, little more than quWll. They look something like a ruffled grouse, ami both sexes arc colored slmilar- ly- , The four pair are expected to produce about 30 eggs a year each, which will be hatched in inenbators. r Lester G. MacNnmara, New Jer sey gpmc mahagement superinten- dentr got the idea of using bamboo partridge as game birds in 1932. The game conservation institute raised some at its Clinton farm, but the birds were sold to breeders.
