OUT OF THE GAME.
Legal Proceedings Send lajoie
to the Bench.
Other Players Notified that the Nat
ionaI League Owns Them.
American League Will Not Surrender
One Without a Fight.

Cleveland, Ohio, April 23.-Vice Pres
ident C.. w. Somers of the American
League, authorized the following state
ment, today, relative to the decision
of the Pennsylvania court in the La
jOie case:
LAS to Lajoie, we have not consulted
with our attorneys on that and do not
know whether the judgement of the
Pennsylvania supreme court is final up
on all the defences that might be made
to an applicati ton for injunction, but
assuming the case is final, the judge
ment affects Lajoie only. The case of
every other ball player who left the
National League will, of course, stand
upon it's own merits, and all the facts
surrounding that particular case. We
do not intend to give up a single ball
player without Il fight and feel conf
dent that we will win in the end.
In a great many cases, where the
ball players left the National League
and came with us in 1900, the league
clubs did not take the necessary steps
to maintain their legal contract, if
they had one.
THE decision by the Pennsylvania
court holds that the ball player is ben
Gifted by the contract. In Lajoies
case he received $1,000 year from the
Philadelphia National League club and
with a competitor in the field his sal
airy is now $500.
IF the Pennsylvania decision is good
law, then the American League will
have by far the better of it, because
we have contracts now with all of tho
players who came from the National
League and as to almost all of them
the National League has failed to
maintain even it's legal right in its
contracts, even if such contracts ex-
listed"

Mrs. Abigail BurriII.

Coroner II. b. Smell was called to
Clinton Tuesday. to investigate the
death of Mrs. Abigail Rurrill, who lived
with George Cole and his mother, about
five miles out from the village Mrs
Burrill had retired Monday night,
feeling as well as usual, but did not
arise at the usual time, Tuesday morn
ing. The other occupants, becoming
alarmed, made their way into her room
and found her lying with her head on
the floor and body on the bed. Her
face was somewhat diScolored and
there We're some indications that death
had not been due to natural causes.
Coroner Smell was therefore sum-
moned and after investigating decided
that an inquest was not necessary. He
found that death had been caused by
heart disease and that Mrs. Burrill had
evidently attempted to arise when at
tackled, and had fallen in the position
found, being too weak to move herself
or make an cutlery.
Mrs. Burrill was n widow, 6S years

STUBBORN FIGHTING
Before Liberals in Bocas Surrendered
to Government Force.

Colon. Colombia April 23.-Shortly after
the arrival of the United States Gunboat
Machias at Bocas Del TorO. April II, the
captain of the gunboat, Lieut.. Com. Hen
ry McCrea. notified the Liberals located

about two miles from Bocas. that The

by the Liberals and that they had only
5000 rounds OF ammunition left, decided
to surrender. They handed the town of
Bocas over to Lieut.. Com. McCrea. who
had it policed during Thursday night.
He handed the town over to Col. Buen-
dia the following morning.
The previous reports of the number OF
men killed in the Bocas engagement are
exaggerated. 1t now appears that on both
wounded. The government forces lost
eight men killed. --t4f

BASEBALL RULES.
Principal Change Made in Defining
the Foul Ball Strike.

There have been few changes in the
baseball rules for this season. Two
books Of rules are issued, one represent
ing the National and the other the
American League, but the rules of both
are practically the same. The wording
of some of the rules has been changed
somewhat but the meaning is practically
the same.
The principal change and the one on
which the two leagues differ is in re-
gard to the strike. In last years rules.
stri!ses were defined as follows: "A
strike is: Sec. IA ball struck at by the
batsman without its touching his bat; or
Sec. "A fair ball legally delivered by
the pitcher but not struck at by the
batsman.
Sec. "A foul hit ball not caught on
the fly. unless two strikes have already
been called.
''Sec. "A 'bunt hit which sends the
ball to foul ground either directly or by
bounding or rolling from fair ground to
foul ground and which settles on foul
ground.
Sec. "a ball struck at If the bail
touches any part of the batsman's per-
son.
Sec. Ga foul tip by the batsman.
caught by the catcher while standing in
the lines of his position.
Rule "A foul strike is a ball hated
by the batsman when any part of his
person is upon the. ground outside the
lines of the batsmarfs position
The National rules of this year are
somewhat changed from this Sections l
and are the same but something new
has been added to section g, and is as
follows: "A foul hit not caught on the
fly, unless two strikes have already been
called. which falls or settles on foul
ground inside or on the line of the terri
tory described by lines drawn from first
and third bases at right angles with an
imaginary line drawn from home to sec
ond base and extending on each side to
the limits of the playing field
This adds a new line to the diamond
a foul line The line starts at the limit
of the playing field and goes straight
across the diamond through first base.
the pitchers box and third base and
thence to the limit of the field on the
other side. AS will be seen this reduces
the range of the foul ball strike as the
ball cannot go beyond first base on one
side or third on the other. to be a foul
strike. and this change will doubtless re-
duce the number of this kind of strikes.
Then in the National rules new sec
ton has been substituted for section of
last years rules. This new section is as
follows: ANY intention or effort to hit
the ball to foul ground outside of the
lines of the territory described by lines
drawn from first to third bases at right
angles with an imaginary line drawn
from home to second base and extending
on each side to the limit of the playing
