THE ONLY CHANGES =
made in the report of the schedule COM
mittee were to appease the demands
and stop the kicking of the Chicagos and
DetroitS. Dates in June were changed
for the Chicagos at Boston and New
York, and the DetroitS at Boston and
New York, the dates being counter
changed.
Base ball men over ran the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel to-day, among them being.
Wheeler Wickoff, president of the
American association; Phelps and M. f..
Lyons, of Louisville; and James A.
Williams and f. Robinson, of Cieve-
land. Shortly before noon the arbitra-
tion committee, consisting of Rogers.
Spalding and Young, of the league,
and Phelps and Byrnes, of the associa-
ton, went into session to dispose OF the
question of territorial jurisdiction in
Kansas City, and other matters: At
Base Ball league the sessions were
concluded. The board OF arbitration,
which went into secret session
shortly before noon, finished it's work at
half-past o'clock. The Kansas City
club question was the first thing cOnsid-
cred. A long debate ensued over the
problem whether the Association club
should be granted an exclusive fran
chise or not. The Association delegates,
Barney, Phelps and Williams, were all
for their club, while Spalding, Rogers
and Reach for the League refused to
vote. The matter was left undecided.
Manager Won der Abe, of the St. Louis
club, introduced the case of Halliday,
and the DeS Moines clubs. AS the mat
ter had been reported before, the board
refused to have anything to do with the
matter, and in consequence Halliday
goes with Des MOines. In the case of
Geise, over whom the London club. of
Canada, and the New Orleans club have
been fighting, it was decided that the
Canadian club had the best right to his
services. After the settlement of the
club disputes
THE RULE COMMITTEE
Immediately entered into conference
with committee from the National Re-
porters' association, comprising MeSsrs.
Chadwick, Stackhouse, Milford, Man
diego and Morse. The audience con-
tinued over an hour, after which the
reporters withdrew and the committee
began the work of revising the rules.
The result was announced at p. IN. In
the rules on base running new section
was added which reads as follows:
"In the fourth column shall be scored
bases stolen. and shall be governed as
follows: Any attempt to steal base
must go to the credit of the base rum
ner whether the ball is thrown wild or
muffed by fielder. But any manifest
error is to be charged to the fielder max
ing the same. If the base runner adj
vances another base he shall not be
credited with stolen base, and the
fielder allowing such advantage is
also to be charged with an error.
If base runner makes a start and a
battery error is made the runner re-
ceives the credit of a stolen base and
the battery error is scored against the
player making it. Should base run
ner Overrun base and then be put out
he should receive the credit for the
stolen base" Under the head of base
hits, as an amendment to section 3, rule
65, the following was adopted; '"That
when a player reaches first base through
an error of judgment, such as two field
ers allowing the ball to drop between
them, the batter shall not be credited
with base hit or the fielder charged
with an error, but it shall be scored as
an unaccepted chance and the batter
bat" Another amendment to rule 65
reads as follows: ''That in all cases
when base runner is retired by being
hit by batted ball the batsman shall
be credited with base hit" New Sec
ton No. to rule 65 says: 'sAn earned
run shall be scored every time player
reaches home base unaided by errors.
before chances have been offered to re-
tire the side of three men; but bases
on balls, though summarized as err
rors. shall be credited as fac
tors in earned runs" In rule 66. a new
section No. 8 was inserted to read that
the number of men struck out shall be
included in the summary. The last
change was an addition to section of
rule %. as follows: ''After the first
striker in each inning shall be the bats
man whose name follows that Of the.
last man who has completed his turn at
the bat in the preceding inning"
