The rule prohibiting player from taking
first base when hit on the arm by q pitched
ball is creating great dissatisfaction among
players. Ball players make their living with
their arms and not one of them would risk
injury by putting their money makers in
front OF hot ball
CLARKsoN and Kelly, the famous Boston
battery, teach batsmen to attend to business
by their promptness to take advantage of
every point. It isn't necessary that the
batsmen shall be ready and waiting for the
ball before the pitcher delivers it. II a bats
man walks away from the plkte to express
disgust at the umpire's ruling, the pitcher
can deliver tie ball, and if it is = good one
the umpire will call it a strike
