NEW BALL RULES.
Important Changes By
Magnates.
CatcherS Must Hereafter Stay Under
the Bat.
American Association
Goes to Pieces.
League Has Granted All Play
ers Demand.

New York, February 27.-The Nation
al League base ball magnates net again
this afternoon at the Fifth avenue hotel.
At the close of the session It was an
nouncsd that the report Of the commit
tee on rules and constitution had been
under discussion. A rule was adoptsd
which does away with the Intentional
"Eouling otT' Of pitched balls BY bats
man. The first and second foul balls
hit by the batsman unless two strikes
have already been called against him
shall henoeforth To counted as strikes.
RuIe No. 3, defining the position OF the
oatchers lines, was altered so that the
catcher will have to stand within ten
feet instead of 70 feet OF the plate. This
places the catcher ''up behind the bat
through the game. A rule making the
pitcher deliver the ball to the batsnan
as soon as the latter takes his position
ct the plate was adopted. Should ths
pitcher deliver the ball to any other
place than the plate a ball would be
called for such delivery.
A rule was passed which penalized one
ball against the pitcher II he fails to de-
liver the ball to the batsman within 20
seconds after the latter has taken his
position.
A rule was passed, empowering the um-
pire to remove from the game and If need
be, from the grounds, any player guilty
OF using improper language to another
player, captain, manager or spectator.
A batsman may not henceforth take
his base il hit by a pitched bail. but the
rail- will count as a bali against the
pitcher.
Article "a OF the constitution was
amended to read that the board OF direc-
tors shall have the power OF tniicting
pensItlss In cases of forfeited games.
In case OF forfeited game the board
shall convene wl5hip week ana near
the evidence They shall decide what
IenaIty to impose on the club otending.
At the evening session, the magnates
summoned Presidents Charles Power
and W IL. Watkins OF the American as
ISOLATION.
The American association men practi-
oaliy yielded up the ghost early In the
afternoon. Before night most OF lts
mem bers had left for home,
Lack of funds was the cause assigned
for the associations death.
President Young today announced that
the league had granted all the players
dem ands.
The most important concession, per-
haps, Is the new option CLAUSE. Hereto
! fore a club owner could employ young
! PLAYER at a small salary and compel him
whether he developed into a STAR or not,
to keep on playing year after year on the
soma SALARY. Now player may demand
more monR at the end OF the nrst year,
but then, NJ his reasonable demands
| be not met, he is free to sign where be
wishes. The new clause is great thing
| for young players.
| It was learned late tonight that Pr5si-
! dent Freedman of the New YORK club
! had again broken with the magnAtes,
| because OF their refusal to adopt a sug-
gestion from him calculated to do away
with rowdyism.
