Ruggles Rules No Contest In Fort Worth Derby
Fort Worth forfeiture of Monday’s Fort Worth Wichita Falls baseball game was reversed by acting league president William B. Ruggles who declared the game no contest. He found the forfeit unjustified as the game had not reached the legal minimum and blamed Galloway’s pitching changes for delaying play. Gullie’s misplay in darkness prompted the forfeit, but Ruggles exonerated Wichita Falls on that point and noted the decision hinges on actions by an errant player rather than a Wichita Falls victory or defeat.
