F1 is restricted from feinting to 1st base only when there are runners on base. F1 may feint or fake to 2nd or 3rd regardless if there is anyone on those bases. Read your rules, people! F1 is only in trouble if he throws to 3rd with no one there. All F1 is doing here is pulling the 3rd to 1st move with only a runner on 1st. If he catches the runner off 1st base, good for him! Woe to the stupid runner when he returns to the dugout!
