The American League accepts the DH as a permanent part of the rules. The National League reaffirms its opposition. A pitcher s ERA is to be calculated henceforth with fractions of innings pitched rather than with full innings. A pitcher who pitches only a third of an inning in a season will not have his ERA rounded off. His total for innings pitched will be carried as one third.
Protective helmets are mandatory for catchers.
