The FED book uses R1 to indicate the lead runner no matter what base the runner is on. It has always confused me, as it seems illogical.

for the duration of my posting on here i have stated that i do not give fed advice. i have never used fed rules and hopefully, as long as massachusetts' rules people keep their heads on straight, never will.

Just telling you why he used R1 at 2nd base. I hate FED rules as well, but had no choice but to enforce them for 20 years of HS baseball here in California.
