Lessne Committee on Playing Rules

The committee on new playing rules
for the National League presents the
following additional recommendations 10
those which appeared in the sun yester-
day:
"Rule II. regarding scoring. is changed
as follows:
"In section I. following the phrase or
bv base ON balls is inserted or has
made "a sacrifice hit which was manifesty
Intentional
"This means that player shall not
be charged with time at bat II he
makes manlfestly intentional sacrifice
hit.
section s. OF the same rule, which
treats OF scoring stolen bases, Is changed
by striking out the last five lines. which
We're.
III a base runner advances a base on
a nv-out. or gains two bases on a single
base Diff. or am inneld out, or an attempt
cd out. DC shall be credited with stolen
base. provided there is a possible chance
and a. palpaDle attempt made TO retire
him.
This portion Of the rule IS expunged
because 10 is not definite and is con-
strued differently by scorers. which makes
the stolen base records Of little value
10 is the opinion OF the committee mat
scoring should be IS nearly possible a
correct record OF the game. and 70 Is
beloved that this change VIII cause uni
fOrm.ty in the scoring Of stolen bases.
Section o. OF the same rule which de-
fines the scoring OF earned runs. has
been changed by striking out the words
'unaided by errors in the second line.
and substitution OF the words 'by the aid
Of base hits only"
Rule q. giving the summary OF the
score is changed as follows.

PAWTUXEF VALLEY.
No Formal Celebration OF the Fourth
But Pleniy of Noise.
Shot Himself In the Toe-A Rad on an
Illegal Liquor Disp:psary.

| Although there was no organized cele-
| bration Of the nations birthday In the
| valley tho younger generation took the
matter in hand and there was no doubt
| but what the GloriousFourth had arrived.
| Monday morning was ushered in by the
| horrible noise made by an amateur fife
and drum band which paraded the streets
| of the valley.
There were old-fashioned picpics held
| at Washington, Arctic Centre and Mattel,
| but the attendance WAS not n large as in
| former years many of the valIeyites going
| TO the sDaye or city. There were several
| slight fires which required the attention
| OF tEo firemen the only seriol one being
| in the confectionery store OF "A man med
| Roi on Centre street at Arctic Centre.
An alarm was rung in and the firemen
responded promptly and succeeded In
| extinguishing the blaze but not until the
| building had been completely Quilted and
the stock in tho store destroyed.
Mrs. Everett knight died at her home
in Black Rock, yesterday morning after
a short illness.
George Bushnell who was celebrating
tho Glorious Fourth with revolver
loaded with ball cartridges made "a mis-
take ia his aim yesterday and managed
TO shoot of the end of one OF his toes.
He was taken to the Office of a physician
at Arctic Centre where the wound was
dressed.
Notices have been posted for the annual
meeting of the River Point fire district
which will take place on July IL and
both the firemen and the taxpayers are
anxiously awaiting the meeting which
will be one Of the most important In the
history of the department.
DeputySheriH Fish and pfileerllerpando
Rounds made an unexpected and unwel-
come call on Alpheus Sylvester VINO keeps
n 'storo" near Hope, yesterday, and
after an interview with the proprietor,
arrested him and carried him To East
Greenwich where no was arraigned before
Judge Tilley on the charge of the illegal
sale of liquor. Sylvester pleaded not
guilty and was held In $500 bonds for
trial next Thursday.
The lending of money by one OF the
clerks of the Clyde print works TO the
employees on the day before the Fourth. Is
causing more talk than n presidential
election, not because h" loaned tho money
but OH account of tho eXorDitant rate OF
interest which he charged.
Even the Hebrew pawnbrokers are con-
tent with 10 per cent month, tut the
young fnancier who engineered and
sprung the deal on his unsuspecting fell
low employees was not content with less
than 10 per cont "a week. The scheme by
which the young financier attempted 10
make n rapid stride toward riches was
neither countenanced by nor known to
tho firm and IL is more than probable
the syndicate which raised the money
and made cats paw of tho clerk Will
be called TO account
