Text	[from answers to correspondents] In the club contesting there was a left-hand striker. When this striker took the bat the players changed positions, the short stop taking the second base, the second baseman the right field outside the square. The third baseman played behind the pitcher and also the third base. One party bets the third baseman played short stop at the time the left hand striker was at the bat, and the other party claims the short stop did not, by changing his position from the usual position, forfeit his claim as short stop for the time being. Now the question is this–was the short stop, while playing second base, short stop? And if not, who was? ... As you state the case, the third baseman was playing short stop.
