RULES FOR BALL PLAYERS
AMERICAN LEAGUE ADOPTS THE
BUFFALO RECOMMENDATION
After Substituting Last Years Foul
Strike Clause for the One
Agreed To at the Conference.

DETROIT, Mich, March 6.-The Amer
lean League magnates, at their last ses-
sion this afternoon, adopted the changes in
the playing rules recommended by the
Buffalo conference of last month. with the
exception Of the foul-strike rule, which
will be played in the American League as
last year. The most important of these
recommendations is the one providing that
the umpire shall call a ball on the pitcher
each time he delays the game by failing
to deliver the ball to the batsman when
he has been in position for more than
twenty seconds. An exception is made,
however. that in the case of the first bats
man in each inning the pitcher may occu-
py not more than one minute in delivering
not TO exceed five balls to one of the base
men for the purpose of warming up.
The advisability of removing the head
quarters of the league from Chicago to
New York was brought up, and after
some delay a resolution was adopted leav-
ing the matter to the discretion of Presi-
dent Johnson. A resolution was also
adopted designating A. ]. Reachs Guide
as the official guide.
The playing rules were the first business
before the meeting to-day, and the report
of the committee which went to the Buffalo
conference from the American League was
presented. 1t recommended that all the
changes suggested at the conference be
assented to excepting that in regard 10
the foul-strike rule, which 1t was recon-
mended be played the same as last year.
Excepting the rule compelling a pitcher
to deliver the ball in twenty seconds, the
changes were in regard to phraseology,
and were of comparatively little impor-
lance. The changes were read over and
discussed. and the committees recon-
mendations were unanimously adopted.
Before adjournment r. l.. Hedges, of
the st. Louis team, invited the league TO
hold it's next meeting in St. Louis. No
action was taken on the invitation, and
the magnates adjourned without a place
being fixed President Johnson was asked
after the meeting whether he would move
his headquarters to New York. and he said:
Not before the middle Of the summer, If
at ALL In fact, the change may not be
made until next winter
Tonight the members who have attend
ed the meeting and the newspaper men
were rendered a banqut at the Griswold
House by President Postal. of the Wash
ington club, and Messrs- Angus, McNam-
ara, Doyle and Cook, OF the Detroit club.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, March 6.-Tom
Couhig. of Buffalo. received a weil-earned
decision over Matty Matthews here tonight
after twenty rounds Of hard fighting. Mat
thews fought an uphill battle all the way
and fouled his opponent three times. IT.

below the belt which sent him SPRAYING
in the ring. He was in evident pain. The
tight was stopped by the referee until a
physician examined COuhig and pronounced
him able 10 proceed. At this Juncture
Referee Mulligan announced that another
foul committed would cause the loser TO
forfeit not only the battle. but would give
his part of the purse 10 a charitable or
ganization. From this on Matthews had no
possible chance for victory. He received
no less than six clean knOck-dOwns, eacn
