Pine tar bat ruling sparks baseball clash over rules
The baseball ruling granting the Kansas City Royals a 5-4 lead hinges on pine tar on George Brett's bat extending 24 inches from the handle, far beyond the 18 inch limit. Commissioner Bart G. MacPhail acknowledged vague rules and insufficient instruction to umpires, while umpire chief Joe Brinkman and union counsel Richie Phillips offered mixed reactions and no immediate appeal.

Lee MacPhail Overrules Umpires on Bratt Home Run
Lee MacPhail overruled the AL umpires to validate George Bratt’s home run last Sunday, boosting Bratt to 20 homers and lifting his and team statistics. The ruling altered Winfield’s RBI, Goose Goslin’s ERA, and Murray’s win tally, with various players seeing shifts in runs, hits, and averages. Kansas City and New York figures like Frank White and Dave Winfield are noted for their changed statistics and outcomes.

The drought and watering bans hurt worm suppliers in Oswego and nearby towns. Bait shops report scarce supply and rising prices as worm fields dry up and markets from Toronto to the St. Lawrence River falter. Angling guidance stresses stocking up, with mixed results on Oneida Lake and neighboring lakes as summer heat continues.
