Notify each captain that the rules will
be enforced exactly. as they are written
and that for each violation the prescribed
penalty will follow.
DO not in any case temporize with a

In what may seem to be trivial matters,
thereby 'nipping in the bud trouble be-

Especially observe rules 20 and 81. which
require players to occupy their respective
benches; also section of rule %. which
specifies that a player ordered from the
field shall go within one minute from the
time you order his removal from the game.
Do not allow a player mot even a captain)

lowed to appeal to you( and he only from

have erred, ii is proper that the spectators
should know what the claim is (rule 60,

90 and GO provide just what his and your
duties are. These rules are mandatory, not
discretionary. If you allow them to be
violated, you become the chief culprit and

| Rule II, which is regarding scoring, is
| changed as follows:

palpable attempt made to retire him.
This portion of the rule is expunged be,
cause il is not definite and is construed diff.
ferently by the different scorers. which
makes the stolen base record oi

Rule 30. A foul tip is a ball batted by the
batsman while standing within, the lines
of his position that goes foul sharp from
the bat to the catcher's hands.
Rule 40-A bunt hit is a ball delivered by
the pitcher to batsman, who while stand

such bunt hit goes TO foul ground Il

In section ], of rule 81, which requires
players to be seated on the players bench

dictation is radically changed and now
reads: when their side goes to bat, the
PLAYERS must Immediately return 20 the
players bench as defined in rule 20 and
there remain until the side is put ont

become substitute baserunners: provided
that the captain or one player only lex
cept that of baserunners are occupying
each and all frst, second and third OaseSl
then the captain and one player or Two
players. may occupy the space between the
player lines and the captain lines to coach
baserunners." This permits but one coach
er. when less than three baserunners are
on the bases in the uniform of the club,
vino may stand in either box known as
the coachers box. This change is recon-
mended because IT has been proven in the
past that the presence of two coach2rs
allws oa ''crossfire'' of talk between them
foreign TO the game, ana frequently Oi Il
character Objectionable to the spectators.
The batting rules have been changed in
diction materially, but not in their le-
quirements.
Rule AZ. which requires that bases he
touched by baSerunners, has been amend
ed by the attention of the following words:
However, no baserunner shall score
run to count in the game until the base
runner preceding him in the batting list
Cproyiding there has been such base
ru1.ner who has not been put out in that
inning) shall have first touched home base
without being put cut.
DISPUTES have arisen when one base
runner has passed another baserunner and
touched home base before the runner who
was passed touched II. This play has new
er heretofore been covered by the rules.
To section 6, of rule As, which defines when
baserunners are entitled to bases is added
the following words: Unless the latter
be a fielder having the ball in his hand,
ready to meet the baserunner."
Under the caption, THE Umpire" we
recommend the insertion Cf 4 footnote
calling attention to advice to umpireS
printed in the addenda TO the playing rules
which is as follows:
You are the absolute master of the field
from the beginning to the termination OF
the game. You are by these rules given full
authority to order any player, captain OF

Railway News.

Chicago, Feb. IA complete reorSaniza-
ton of the Eastern Joint Traffic pool Will
be effected at once. Notwithstanding their
dcnials that serious trouble exists, the
Eastern railroad magnates have become
convinced during the last few days that the
pool in it's present shape is failure and
cannot be enforced.
The presidents of the various pool lines
have been telegraphing back and forth
during the last day or two as to the best
course to prevent an open rate war The
conclusion has been reached that the sit
uation has become so grave as to demand
a meeting of the executive board of presi-
dents and general managers and the adop-
ton of new methods for the future conduct
of the association. This meeting will be
held in New York on Wednesday next and
it promises to be as interesting and far
reaching in its action as the one held on
board of ]. Pierpont Morgan's yacht two
years ago. when the joint traffic pool nrSt
was formed.
The board of managers and the commits
sioner of the pool are blamed primarily for
There has been more or less friction, 1t Is
asserted, between the commissioner and the
board of managers. The expensive board
of arbitration has proved almost useless,
and its members have had scarcely any
thing to do except to draw their fat sal

Instead of maintaining a commissioner, a
board of managers cf ten members. one
from each system a board of arbitration
of three members, and an executive board
of presidents and executive officers of the
various roads members of the pool. as is
now the case, the reorganized pool is to be
governed by a board of five members. who
are not to be connected with any of the
roads in the pool. The chairman of this
| board is also to be the commissioner. There

Much adverse and uncomplimentafy COM

the fact that Queen Victoria should have
given only $2.50O toward the Indian famine

object a sum of no less than Sl0.WO-four

Ed. HERALD:-Much attention is be-

northern Arizona. While the discov-
cries have included gypsum, asbestos,
gold, silver, lead and copper, the strikes
in the last nened mineral have been so

monty, assays So 10 gold are obtained
from the ores
The deposits are encountered on the
crest of the canyon first, fifty miles
north OF Flagstaff, where the Ante

that point the copper can be

Many prospeotors are going into the
