Bat vasy few changes in the rules have bean
proposed, this season. the principal ono being
that Of equalizing the penalty inflicted on the
baAamsn and pitcher, the former for not stark
ing 1t fair balls, and tho latter for not sending
in balls within reach Of tho bat The amended
rule requires ball 70 be called on every second
unfair ball delivered. instead Of every thfd,
N last season while u allows tne ea s;a a 70
obliged to strike At every fair ball delivered
This cannot be said to be change in tho rnle,
but only modification Of the penalty Of unfair
play. Tho only real change IN tho play ~ that
connected with the running OF bases on f0ui
ball. 1t ia warmly advocated by good judges OF
the game among tho professional fraternity
that tho time has Oone to do away with
old features Of base running, and these are,
first, the putting out OF = base runner obiiged
70 return his base on q foul ball, and the max
ing of foul ily catches exceptions in the case Of
leaving base after = catch has hcen maize. Inc
amended rule governing tho play in regard to
catching foul iy ball is ~ follows:
No base shall he run or run scored When
fair or foul bali has boon caught or n,onentarf-
" held before touching the ground, unless the
base hold when the ball WAS hit in touched BY
the base runner after the ball has been AZ
caught or held by the fielder. But after tht
ball has been 30 caught or held, the base run
ner shall DO privileged to mako base or At
tempt to mako base or score run. He sinai
not however, be entitled to any base touched
after tho ball has bcen hit and bofore tho catcl
il made.
Tho amended rule applicable to returning Il
bases on foul balls is as follows;
Any player running bases on foul balls shal
no Obliged to return to tho base he occupies
when tile ball was struck and retouch such bas
before attempting to make another base or scor
a run but said player shall not be liable %
put out in 30 returning. In tho case OF fet
ball caught before touching theground, the bas
runner, returning to touch the base, must rcmai
on it until the ball is hold by the pitcher.
There is no questioning the fact that to put
base runner out who has made his first base
good hit, because the batsman following hi
makes poor hits an injustice which shou
be avoided 1t is amply sufficient that tho ba'
runner is prevented from making base by sui
a hit, without his being put out by it.

A Sensation in Denver.

Edward Trailord is n wealthy young English
man, who for tho past three years has kept Dem
yer, Colorado, in gossip. He bought rancho
up in the mountains and furnished the house
with rich upholstery expensive paintings, and an
$500 piano, and when the novelty Of the thing
had worn of, abandoned it to his stock tenders.
Then he started variety show and lost some
money there. Then he fell in love with Emmie
Dunning, sister of Mrs. Lingard, gave the troupe
grand farewell banquet, followed the Lingards
to San Francisco and, just as they were about
to sail for Australia, married Miss Dunning and
took her back to Denver.

Iseechcr DcnOuncss Bowen.

MIR. Beecher, in his lecture-room talk Friday
evening spoke Of the Christening through which
plymouth Church had passed and was passing,
and urged his hearers to avoid in any way in
tluencmg the members of the Advisory Council,
who were soon to spend some days in their
homes. The report Of the Examining Commit
tee on Mr.. Bowen's case was read,
and, on Mr.. Whites motion, the
church decided to allow Mr.. Bowen ten days
time to prepare all his charges and alleged eyl-
dence against Mr.. Beecher, and to require him
to present them to the Examining Committee
after the notice OF ten days. Mr.. Beecber, in
one of the most powerful and emphatic address
es ho has ever delivered in Plymouth Church
denied the truth OF Mr.. Bowen's charges, an6
declared that he was Il slanderer and a liar.

With view OF facilitating rapid transit, a man
