ing rules as have been made at vari- ous times in-the history of the game. Perhaps it would have been better if there had been a little more freedom granted to the pitcher, but that is somethi met can await the turn of the The “may no longer go farther back toward the outfield than an extension of the Base lines from first to second and second to third bases into foul ground Sedat fély. The coacher’s assistance therefore be confined to the infield and is not to be used in’ rambling toward the outfield in an effort to get the “signs” of the pitcher and; the catcher. This modifjes Rule 6. The rule regarding the bat is re- written. It is not ¢ in in- tent, but it is clear. In the original form it was not. It asserted origin- ally that one end of the bat could be “wound”, but did not state spe- cifically which end. In rule 16 it says that a player May act as captain. That means that if a team ‘does not want its captain on the field it can have him in the concher’s box. It has become the custom to have the captain a player other than one. of the regulars. In Section 2 of Rule 28, about substituting players, there has been no end of confusion among the yo as to what “any stage of the game” means when one player was put in the contest for another. Frequently it has been ruled that a player could break down between first and second, and if another player ed first base and con- tinued to r the injured plaver, the run would count. Of course, that would result in a farce, because slow runners could pretend to break down at first base and faster run- ners could take their places. The rule has been so changed now that a ‘tubstitution cannot be made while the ball is in play, wenn umpire al- ways calls “time” a—substitu- tion is made. ! ‘To Section 2 of Rule 30 there is appended the rosin h, which has become famous thus early. The National League will use and bg American League will have none + the rule does not say that the ‘pitcher must dry his hands on the ro- sin bag.* It says he may. There can be a legal rosin bag, and if there is a league that doesn't want to carry the bag, there is nothing to compel it to do so. - Note one thing very carefully. Not a word of the rule about the use of a foreign substance on the ball has been changed. To daub or mal- treat the ball is as illegal as ever it was. The rule in régard to the pitcher throwing to an unoccupied base has been changed so that if he does it once he is warned, and if he repeats it he is out of the Kame. This change has been 0 ded in some way with the intentional pass, but has nothing whatever to do with | it. The changé is very proper and a| good one, as it prevents needless de- lay of the ganfe. Various slight changes have been made in the balk rule, but none of them alter the balk or its penalty. LACROSSE TO BOOM iN | |» OAKVILLE T ?
