other cities. has addressed the following
letter to umpires, relating TO the con-
struction to be placed upon rules q and
30: 81 have called your attention to rules
q and 30 and impressed upon you the
importance of their strict enforcement.
1t is also equally important that your
rulings should be uniform. The patrons
of base ball enjoy base running, and the
past fragrant violations of these rules
must be stopped, The pitcher should be
permitted to step out to throw to any
base, providing he first steps out directly
towards the base towards which he in
tends to throw, and makes no forward
motion whatever with either arm, foot or
body to deceive the base runner. Such
motion, whether intentional or not, is a
baIk. TIE rule is clearly made for the
base runners protection and to protect
and improve one CT the best and most en-
joyable FEATURES of the game.
