adopted unanimously. Most of them were
verbal and of a minor nature. The more
/ important were made to conform TO the

cept giving decisions on first, second and
third bases, and deciding points of play in

base when any other base is occupied by
a base runner, in which event the umpire
shall decide all points of play arising at
third base. 1t shall be the duty Of the
umpres to assist or advise each other in
rendering any decision, when asked by the
other umpire"
To rule 81, which relates to the suspen-
sion of a player, is added provision that
the term of suspension shall not exceed
three days, including the date of removal.
Section 2, as added to rule 81, is as fol-
lows: "The umpire shall, Immediately after
| the suspension of a player, give the
