leagues of the country III session at

clare a foul strike. At midnight the
revision agreed upon provided that

territory described by line drawn
through first to third base at right
angles with an imaginary line drawn
from first to second base aud extend

umpire to call ir strike. 1t shall
remain discretionary with the umpire
to call strike or foul when the
ball goes into fouI territory outside
tho line drawn through flrstmnd third
bases to the limits of tho field.
Rulc II was ameEded so that the
catcher must stand within ten feet of
the plate throughout the game, and
Rule is changed to conform with
this amendment.
To make Rule so moro comprehen-
sive the words Gin which case the
