The ques Hon or an inneid hit came up; one man on first, nobody down and the batter hit an infield pop up.' Fergu son called both men safe. He was right Ha.d there been a man on first and second, or first, second and third, the batter would be out. The wisest ones on the field even pinched them selves when the decision was given but the rule book put things right. If Ferguson keeps up the same clip he set at Baker he will be all right dur ing the entire summer. " . " '. Joe Keeney handled the indicator at Elgin. Just before the game he made a little, speech to the players, then on their benches. ; Mr. Keeney informed them that he came to Elgin to be king pin at that particular game and for the raggy ones to dry up ; cap tains alone could talk.
