the amount to which he considers that his

by her.
In his petition DR. Hutton sets up that

made to injure the same by Mrs Buck

Pitchers Object to the New Rule
Which Handicaps Them.
In Regard to Keeping One Foot
at the Plate.
PUZZLES THE UMPIRES
Sheridan Made White q Victim
at st. Louis.
Rule Will Cause Worlds of
Trouble to SIabmen.

Chicago, April 2S.-The News says:
Baseball rule S9-The pitcher shall
take his position facing the batsman
with both feet square on the ground
and in front of the pitchers plate: but
in the act of delivering the ball to the
bat one foot must be in contact with
the pitchers plate. He shall not raise
either foot unless in the act Of deliver
ing the ball to the bat nor make more
than one step in such delivery.
There is a weakness in this rule
which hoped would not be apparent 50
early in the season." said Jim Hart OF
the National league rules committee
this morning. THAT is, when there Is
no baae runner the pitcher is not pun
ished for making a balk other than Il Is
called neither ball nor strike ne
lieve in such cases the illegal bail
pitched should be called a ball. Now
the only thing an umpire can do with
base runner on the bags IS to advance
him one bag for each balk.
The rule strictly interpreted means
that one foot should be In contact with
the slab and both feet should be in
front Of the slab and within the lines at
right angles TO the end of this slab. A
pitcher need not have both heels on the
slab and he can, of course. stand one
loot in advance Of the slab foot. He
must face the batsman. according to the
rules.
This pitchers rule was suggested. I
believe, by Dreyfuss. or possibly Ned
Hanlon. and Pulliam has worked it out
strictly
Harry Pulliam is in the city, by the
way. and the point viii doubtless be
discussed during this present time.
st. Louis, April 2S.-Umpire Sheridan
made the first official ruling on the new
rule adopted by the joint committees Of
the American and National leagues re-
curing the pitcher to keep both feet
even with the rubber plate IN the box.
According to the new rule, the pitcher
cannot step back Of the rubber when
winding up preparatory to delivering
the ball. White unintentionally hunched
little yesterday in his effort to comply
with this rule. and Sheridan called a
balk on him. At first he permitted the
batter to go to first as well as the man
on first to advance, but when Manager
Callahan protested the batter was sent
back to the plate.
This rule will cause worlds Of trouble
Tor the Slabmen this season. and Incl
dentally Tor the uTnpires. too Scarcely

his speed will find himself handicaDDed
