Start of ends boredom for fielders Players sitting on the bench unhappily pitchers walking In runs and outfielders inattentively resting on their haunches are things of the past In the Acton Minor Baseball Association novice house league this year as the result of the introduction of Tball a slightly altered version of baseball Minor baseball execs decided to have novice age players most of whom have had no prior baseball experience piny ball man effort to boys as possible to participate In each tame and to continuous action for all nine on the field Unlike baseball teams playing ball arc allowed to fill out their butting order with whatever number players they have present for the game Every player gets a chance to bat Melding lineups consist of the usual nine players except that the player playing the pitcher position does not pitch Ball teed up Inskod of hitting a pitched ball take their cuts at a ball which Is placed on an ad tec at home plate The tec may be adjusted by the umpire according to the sire or the batter so that the ball Is within his strike zone Each batter has one swing at the ball If he hits it into the playing field play proceeds as usual and the batter tries for as many bases as he can If the ball is missed or If in the judgement of the umpire the tee alone or the tee and bull both ore struck the batter Is out Bunting Is disallowed and each batter must take a full swing at the ball Time Is called whenever the ball Is being placed in position by the umpire or in the opinion of the umpire play has been stopped resumes only when the ball hit fairly into the ploying field Three outs Teams change sides after three outs the same as baseball however normal playinR time for games is minutes No full Inning may start after minutes or five innings whichever comes first Novice times last jear turned out to be nothing but succession of walks and strikeouts Games tragKed on so long that players missed on opportunity to play and those on the field became bored because only a bulls were hit into the play ing field In spite of criticism from die hards or the traditional game of ball has been growing in popularity among those who see It as an excellent training ground for potential baseball plavcrs Must be alert Batters don t hove the chance to face a pitcher and Judge or not to hit the ball but do learn to keep their eye on the ball at all times and ex tht sensation of hitting What s more fielders learn to their positions properly and to be alert at all times since the ball is hit into the playing field mo t of the time Two teams
