1t appears that MEX Young reads THE SUN
closely. Whom he saw tho article referring to
tho rule Enearthcd 10y Ans III compelling clubs
70 play postponed games during tho series in
when the postpOncment occurs he immudi-
ntely hunted up the minutes of the League
meeting and discovered TINT ther" was an Inn
portnnt omission in thu rulc a. printed. Sec
ton -. as 1t now stands. provides that n post
pUned game shat he played Off on the same
grounds on u succeeding day. within the dates
OF the same schedule srr!es.' The portion Of
the rule which was omitted 10y mistake was
the words or succeeding series" THIS takes
away the compulsory character OF the rule as
1t stood and clubs have the right to play post
poned games when they please.
Tho New lorks will play two postponed
games Mt fhladephln NEXT Wednesday. be-
