WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20.

If Hill thought he could carry New
York this year he would not be averse
to having the Democratic convention
stampeded for him, as there IS some
talk of doing. His success under exist
ing untoward circumstances would enable
hin to pose as the savior OF his party
and would give his Presidential asplra-
tions a tremendous boom. On the con-
trary defeat would probably be fatal TO
them. In running for governor he
would stake his whole political future
upon the result We don't believe he
is rash enough to do that.
The Portland daily press., 1894-09-26

The introduction of the Hon. Elijah
possible future governor of Massachu-
sets seems to be causing great commo-
ion in that state. The congressman has
been interviewed of course. but he mod
estly declares that he has reached the
height of his political ambition. Still,
if the people of massachusetts should in
sist on thrusting more honors upon him
he would not probably run away from
them.
The Portland daily press., 1894-09-26

With Gaynor out of the New York
fight William c. Whitney is most talked
about for governor. Whitney is able and
popular, but he is a plutocrat, and that,
in the opinion OF the New York World
is a fatal objection. Plutocrats who
are willing to shell out are not, how
ever, disagreeable to the rank and ME
of the Democracy, and if Whitney will
only promise to open barrel the protest
of the World will amount to nothing.
But Mr.. Whitney is credited with being
the owner of a long, head, and long
head won't promise to spend much
money in pursuit of forlorn hope.

BASE BALL RULES.
Changes Made by the Committee ut
Ciucinnuti.

The special session of the league commit
tee on the playing rules at Cincinnati yes
terday Interrupted by the indisposition
of President Won de- Abe. The sacrifice hit
will be penalized if the committees indorse-
ment has any weight. In the present play
ing rules the only reference TO the sacrifice
hit is made in the section devoted to scor-
ing and which defines a time at bat.
The committee will recommend n new
rule--No :'o-to follow the definition of fail
and foul hits in the battery rules. This is:
A bunt, or sacrifice hit batted by the
batsman standing in his position that falls
within fair ground as defined in rule &c.
that is made for the obvious purpose of ad-
vancing a runner occupying base, which
results in putting cut the batsman, or would
so result If handled without error
With this definition embraced in the rules.
a penalty for failures to successfully make
the play has been framed. To section 3 of
rule ~ an addition is recommended, so
that il will read:
"A strike is foul hit made by the ba tsman
while attempting bunt or to make a sacri-
flee hit, as defined in rule Is, that falls upon
foul ground between home base and first
base and home base and third base"
base on balls will no longer reward the
batsman who is hit by the ball on his third
strike.
To section of rule AZ is also added
without making an attempt TO strike"
No action against trapping balls was
taken.
