THE REPUBLICAN, MISTAKE

Chairman Manlcy o. the national re-

presses with candor the opinion that
his party made a great mistake about
the force bill issue. and should have
dropped il eight years before they did.

true We imagine Mr.. Manley says no

the subject At any time within four

HE sUsTAINs MILWAUKEE,.
President YOung's Ruling on a Pecul-
lar Point In q Game.

President Young. of the National League,
has rendered a decision in the protested
Grand Rapids-NIilwaukee game which may
cut an important figure in the future of
the game. His decision is in manner
contrary to the rule supposed to govern the
point
The protest was the result of decision
of umpire Hoagland's The play came up
in the ninth inning. Grand Rapids was at
the bat. With two men out Manager
Ellis wanted to substitute Fear for Jones
at the. bat after two strikes had been
called on 'Bumpus.'' Manager Twitchel
objected. and on Manager Ellis insisting
that he had right TO substitute a batter
under the rules, Hoagland gave the game
to Milwaukee. Then Ellis sent in a protest
on the ground that Hoagland had decided
contrary to the rules. President Johnson
replied that he had never heard of SINH
lar play and did not feel warranted in de-
Gliding the point. but would refer the mat
ter to President Young, of the National
League. Johnson asked Young IF player
can be substituted after a pitcher has de-
lvered BALL" Young wired his answer:
Certainly not, unless the first batsman
drop dead or be suddenly incapacitated from
playing" This decision upnOlds that of UNI
pire Hoagland Managers Manning, Com
iSkey and Watkins and umpiress Sheridan
and McDermott all thought that Hoagland
was wrong. and that while the play had
never come up, were of the opinion that a
batsman could be substituted at any stage
as well as a pitcher. The rule governing
the changing of players reads follows:
ANY such player may be substituted at
any time by either club, but no player
thereby retired shall thereafter participate
in the game"
A fielder can be changed at any time: a
pitcher can be taken out of the game and
another substituted while a batsman is at
the plate. If this privilege is allowed the
pitcher ii would seem that the batsman
should also be entitled to change. In case
of player batting out of his turn, the
error can be rectified if discovered before
the man is retired. the right batter taking
his place. by assuming whatever balls anr.
strikes may have been charged to the first
man.
Manager Ellis is going to bring the mat
ter up before the executive committee of
the Western League and .see what they
have TO say about ii. Tie also questions
the advisability of accepting President
Youngs opinions as final on questions i'm
which the Interpretation of the rules as
they affect the Western League is in
