The rules say that a fielder must have control of the ball with his hand or a glove. Covering the ball over his jersey with his hand does not constitute having control so the runner is safe. In the 2nd case the runner is OUT! A fielder is allowed to throw his glove with the ball in it to a base and the baseman can catch it just like a thrown ball!!!! Rich Barry
