Looking Them Over with Billy Evans
In a Polo Grounds game the umpire’s ruling on a tricky play drew criticism but followed the rules. With runners on first and second, Borton hit a hard drive. Collins made a one hand pickup, Barry threw toward first, and umpire Dinneen, back to the play, was struck as the ball headed to first. He ruled the runners back, prompting talks of rule changes to allow in-play status when the ball strikes an umpire.
