Text	S.A. Jacobs, Eire, Penn.--"When the striker hits a ball to the short stop, and the short stop takes the ball and puts it to the first base and the batter is put out, who gets the credit, the short stop throwing the ball or the baseman that holds it?" .......If it is a sharply hit ball the short stop deserves the credit; but if it is a poorly hit ball and muffed in the field, and badly thrown to the baseman, and yet he hold it in turn, then the 1st baseman. We always put down in our score book the name -- or rather the figure indicating the name -- of the player who fields the ball to the baseman; but in the records of "how put out," the credit of the out goes to the fielder last handling the ball, namely, the baseman.
