Surely those stripes mean the same on the Brookings dia mond as everywhere else. I hit ball was hit on the fly, not too high, but with considerable force. 1 was parked out left-field way and was it the parkini sitting on my bumper when that ball landed not more than 12 feet from me. When the ball left the bat, I knew it would be close either way, fair or foul, so 1 kept my eye on the ball until after it landed. The imprint was there, easily seen a full three inches foul. No one moved near me. When the ball hit. I stood up and yelled foul, Whitey had gone argue with the umpire. The batter was rounding second and the left fielder was still after the ball when 1 ran 12 feet where the imprint was, but did not get on the playing field, While pointing directly down to the place where the ball hit, I yelled to W hitey, the third base- man and left fielder.
