Arson is out with a suggestion that the
rules be changed so that he captain of team
will have the right TO change players at any

the batting OF team, in that d weak pitcher
could be replaced at the bat by a strong bats
man until the time comes for him to resume
the pitchers position in the box, when he
coiud go in again.
