What must a pitcher do when announced in baseball rules
He must pitch until the first batsman to face him is retired or reaches first. The batters are entitled to first, but no runners may advance unless forced to make room for the batter. The ball remains in play if the umpire is hit by a batted ball. If the pitcher feints a delivery while off the rubber it is a balk. A baserunner is out the moment he passes a preceding runner.

Flood Expected to Affect Cotton Prices in 1927
Raleigh April 30 AP A B Blalock general manager of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Association says the flood waters from the Mississippi and tributaries may alter the 1927 cotton prices. He notes lands normally yielding about two million bales are flooded and that delta long staple cotton may be replanted after waters recede, risking higher boll weevil danger but not necessarily a large price drop.
