HOW TO PLAY BALL.
{ hanges in the Rules To Be Recommended
to the League.

. Cincinnati, Ohio, February 22.-Presl-
dent John T. Brush today gave out a
copy of the proposed changes in baseball
playing rules that will be reported by
the committee at the league meeting in
New York, February 26. These changes
are recommended: For each champion
ship game, two balls must be furnished
by the home club to the umpire for USE
When the ball in play is batted to the
foul ground out of sight of the umpire,
the other ball must Immediately be
brought into play. AS often as one of
the two in use is lost, another must be
substituted so that the umpire shall at
all times after the game begins have two
balls for use. The moment the umpire
delivers the alternate ball to the pitcher,
1t comes into play, not to be exchanged
until it passes.out of sight to the foul
ground. At no.tine.shall ball .be in
tentionally discolored by ubbing it with
soil or otherwise. Should ball become
out of shape, or cut or ripped SO as to
expose the interior, OF SO injured as to
be, in the opinion of the umpire, unfit
for fair use, he shall. upon appeal by
either captain, at once put the alternate
ball into play and call for a new ball.
The time of the game, if the score be a
tie at the end of nine inningssplay, shall
be continued until one side has scored
more runs than the other in an equal
number of innings. provided that if the
side last at the bat scores winning run
before the third man is out, the game
shall terminate. A sacrifice bunt hit is
ball batted by batsman standing in
position that tails within the fair
ground made for the obvious pur-
pose Of advancing runner occupying a
base and which results in putting out
the batsman or would so result if
handled without an error. A strike is a
foul hit made by batsman while at
tempting a bunt sacrifice hit that falls
or rolls upon the foul ground between
the home base and first and third bases.
A strike is ball struck at if the ball
touches any part Of the batsman's per-
son. The batsman is out if, while at
tempting third strike, the ball touches
any part of the batsman's person, in
which event the base runners occuyine
the bases shall return
