adopted rules for championships, the
most important being that the club
winning the majority Of games In Sc
RES Of FIVE with every one Of the pro-
fessional teams should hold the pre-
miership.
The amateur championships were es-
| tablshed IN 1883. AZ the Elysian fields
in Hoboken the Atlantlcs OF Brooklyn
had beaten the crack New York clubs
the Empire, Knlckerbocker Gotham
and Eagle, and were generally regarded
as the leaders From that time until
the establishment Of the professional
championship the club winning two out
Of three games with the then leading
team became champion In turn.
To the "old timer the modern base
ball game as played, say, by Ed Hanlon's
Brooklyn champions, is more or less dis
appointing The multitudnous changes
have made the original sport unrecog-
ni2able. For example, take pitching.
The old rule required the pitcher 10
actually pitch the ball. and at the mo-
ment OF his delivery his hand must be
below his waist" The word pitcher"
IS now wholly a misnomer. for the ball
Is always thrown TO the batsman. In
the good old days" the man In the box
was required 10 send the ball just where
the batter wanted H. The latter could
call for a ball shoulder high" knee
high, high ball" or low ball, the last
named being between the knee and
ankle
The latter day plan Of curtalllng the
rights OF the batsman and giving more
license 10 the pitcher has resulted In
the reducing OF scores 10 minimum.
This has. IN a measure, diminished the
Interest In baseball. Good base run
ming ard batting are among the most
attractive features OF the sport, and
games whore man after man retires
from the home plate on strikes and
short flies or at first on feeble tips TO
the infelders. resulting in scores Of ] TO
0 or 10 !, are somewhat wearIsome.
The frequent filling Of the bases aud
the scoring % many runs-not By field
ing errors but by good base running
and strong batting-would attract 20

I ers an opportunity 10 earn their salt.
