Manager
Milligan watched from the dugout as his baseball team took the
field. It was the ninth inning and his boys, the Sparks Shadows,
were locked in a 9-9 tie with the West Sparks Renoites.
Milligan studied the nine players he had positioned on the
field:
Clements, Hastings, Robb, Willis, Spanier, Meyer, Player, Hare, and
Deidrichsen.
His
attention soon became absorbed by the curious fact that his nine
players wore on their uniforms the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
and 9. The more he looked at these players and their numbers, the
more he noticed. Milligan's observations are given below as
clues, from which you should be able to deduce who played which
position and was wearing which number.
-
The outfielders' names rhymed.
-
The outfielders' numbers, from left field around to right, increase
and are consecutive.
-
The names of the catcher, third baseman, and left fielder all begin
or end using the same letter.
-
The numbers of the catcher, first baseman, and right fielder have
no curves in them.
-
The man with the longest name has the highest number.
-
The sum of the outfielders' numbers equal the sum of the
infielders' numbers (pitcher and catcher not being considered as
infielders).
-
The number of letters in the pitcher's name is equal to his uniform
number.
-
The four infielders, reading from third base around to first, are
positioned alphabetically.
-
The second baseman's number is one third the number of letters in
the center fielder's name
