CHANGES IN PLAYING RULES.

Changes of much importance have
been made in the playing rules. and all
with the idea Of shortening the playing
time of each game. In the future the
catcher will be required to play be-
hind the bat all the time. This sug-
gestion came from the players. A bat
ter hit by a pitched ball will not be
allowed to take his base. but a ball
will be charged against the pitcher.
The first and second balls hit, not
caught on the fly, unless the batsman
has two strikes, are to be called strikes.
This will prevent the practice now so
common of batters fouling OF good
balls.
Should the pitcher throw the ball to
any player other than the catcher
when the batter is in position ready
to strike. each ball so delivered viii
be called ball This is to prevent
the tedious delay upon the part of the
pitchers of warming up" If the
pitcher is in position for twenty sec
onds and fails to deliver the ball to
the plate the umpire must call a ball
because of unnecessary delay. Ar
amendment to the constitution pro
vides that in event of forfeiture the
forfeiting club shall incur a penalty
not to exceed 81 900 after a hearing By
the board of directors. Any damage:
suffered by the non-offending club arr
to be paid out of this penalty.

beginning. the husband is the provid.
er and the wife the housekeeper. AS
provider the husband must be a hunt !
err, for wild animals are the only |
source of food, and clothing and fuel,
and division of labor with an accom-
panying medium of exchange have
not yet been dreamed of, much less
a system of property rights which
yields a lien upon the labor OF fellow
hunters. Each with his varying skill
and each with his own handmade inn
plements, whose designs have come
down to him through countless gen.
erations of hunting ancestors, goes
forth to the hazard of the hunt. What
be secures is his and game is easily
traced to its rightful owner by means
of the mark of ownership on the har-
pooh or lance or arrow which has
caused death. But there come times
when each mans catch is not all his
own-times of scarcity, when the sue
cessful hunter shares his game equally
with all the needful families of the
station, even if his own is in bitter
want of all he has. OF the helpless

Sickness is almost unknown, and yet
life among them is generally short,

A eRAsD-sTASD PLAY.

During a heated discussion over
changes in the playing rules Of the Ma
tional league OF baseball clubs, after
failing to secure the adoption OF an
amendment providing for the summary
removal OF offending players from the
field, Andrew Freedman, president OF
the New York club, put on his hat
and overcoat and left the meeting, re-
marking that he would return again
when the National league showed
disposition to live up to its protests
for clean baseball. The amendment
TO the playing rules that was adopted
read as follows:
mo manager, captain or player,
during the progress of the game, shall
use indecent or improper language, d.
rected to a spectator, umpire, mana
ger, club official or player. A viola
ton OF this rule must be followed by
the removal forthwith of the offender
from the game and the grounds by the
umpire on his own option or upon
| the written accusation of the manager
or other official of either contesting
club, said removal to be followed by
written proofs submitted within TWEEN
ty-four hours to the president OF the
| league, who, If the evidence warrants,
shall suspend the offending manager,
captain or player from actual service
for a period of time subject to appeal
to the board of directors"
To this Mr.. Freedman submitted an
other amendment, which read:
In the event of the umpire not act
ing or refusing to act promptly, after
receiving such notice, the club official
in charge shall then have the offend
ing player removed from the ground
forthwith"
The New York president was sup
ported in his contention by st. Louis.
The other league owners thought the
case sufficiently covered in rule 81 and
voted the amendment down.

rising, 81 am for clean baseball. The
onus of rowdyism has been put upon
the owners. Now that you have a
chance to get rid of it you decline.

game would have been violated.
