will be to arrange a set of playing rules
that will be agreeable to both organizations
and do away with the system now in
vogue. AT the close of the days session
changes had been decided upon.
In place of the stone at the home-plate,
base similar in size, but made of white
rubber, was recommended. The positions
of the first and third bases were moved u
inches, so that the bags would be inside the
foul lines, thereby helping the umpire in
deciding whether a hit fell in fair
or foul ground. The new rules of
the American Association concerning
the positions of the coachers were
favorably received. They require that the
coacher shall not be nearer than 65 feet to
the home-plate, thereby preventing the
coacher from running along the line from
third base to the home-plate to disconcert
an opposing player. Action on the pitchers
rules and location of the pitchers box was
laid over until tomorrow, and the League
rule concerning the position of benches and
bat-racks was incorporated in the rules of
the American association. 1t was unani-
mously agreed that in future all clubs play
ing under the National agreement shall use
either the Spaulding or Reach ball. This
was done to prevent the using of dead"
balls, soft +" balls or "liyely" balls by
other Associations in their exhibitions with
League or Association clubs, and to make
a standard ball. 1t was also required of the
American Association that each ball must
be weighed, measured and sealed with
the name of the Secretary upon the box
containing the ball, the same as in vogue
in the League. In the using of two balls
the committee suggests that when ball
is batted out of the sight of players another
.,st Ia ,ke4.&, I'D e
until the batted ball is returned. When
ever ball is ripped or damaged another
must be at once brought into play. The
American Association was allowed to use
the flat bat, if it so desires, the same as the
League. The League field rules, with
slight notifications, were also extended to
the Association teams.

Little Kentucky Affair.
LOUISVILLE, November 15th.-A Courier
Journal special says: The war in Perry
county, Kentucky, between the French and
Eversol factions has broken out afresh
Almost every citizen in the county has
taken sides with one or the other of these
mountain merchant princes" as they are
called. Both factions seem to have come
to the conclusion that there can be no set
tlement except by determination. Both
factions are armed, and the first shot will
bring about a general war. The feud dates
back several years. French and Eversol
are rivals in business, and control the
entire trade of several mountain counties.
The report that both were killed some time
ago was not true.
