out of vogue for a number of years.
Not content with limiting the foot
work Of pitchers, the rule-makers have
added another rule in regard to "balk-
ing" This rule is section VIII, of
Rule "a. and reads as follows:
"A balk shall be making any mo-
ton of the arm, shoulder, hip or body
the pitcher habitually makes in his
method of delivery without immedi-
ately delivering the ball to the bat"
This rule will prevent, if enforced,
some of the familiar antics of famous
pitchers just before delivering the ball.
These two rules should enable the poor
batsman to accumulate a few more
hits in a game, but at the same time
the poor umpire will accumulate a
whole bunch of trouble. There is
hardly a pitcher who hasn't some pc
culiar motion in getting up his swing
who doesn't repeat that motion two
or three times before delivering the
ball. According to this rule, pitch
ers cannot wind up" for, If they do,
there will be procession around the
bases, and the umpires will grow
hoarse calling "balk!"
Handicap to Coaching.
Here is another rule which is going
to arouse arguments between umpires
and players, and while the object of
is a question whether it will work
satisfactorily. This rule is in regard
to when base runners are out, and is
Section XIV, of Rule Sc, and reads as
follows:
The base runner is out if, before
two hands are out and while third
base is occupied, the coacher stationed
near that base shall run in direction
of home base, on or near the base line
while fielder is making, or trying to
make, a play on a batted ball, not
caught on the fly, or on thrown ball.
and thereby draws a throw to home
base, the base runner entitled TO third
base shall be declared out by the UNI
pire for the coacher's interference
with and prevention of legitimate
play"
This rule in effect may be used dis
astrously to some teams. AS an ex-
ample. il Bresnahan is on third and
Mertes at the bat, with McGraw in
the coacher's box near third base.
Only one is out. Mertes hits a ground
ball to short. McGraw in his anxiety
to have Bresnahan cross the plate
while Mertes is being fielded out at
first, runs toward home base, Bres-
nahan is out without being caught off
the bag and Mertes is also nailed on
the same play at first base.
These rules are becoming so complex
that some of the ball players will very
soon need guardian if they go on the
field.

SOUGHT TO ESCAPE.
Desperate Attempt of Four COnvicts
Was Frustrated.

wa
Jefferson City, Mo-, April 5.-A des-
perate attempt to escape from the
Missouri penitentiary was made to-
day by four convicts, heavily armed
and also carrying sticks of dynamite.
They had succeeded in cutting their
way out of their cells, and when
Guard John Williams, in making his
rounds, came upon them in the cor
ridor, they called upon him to halt.
Williams fed and gave the alarm, and
a corps of guards responded and soon
overpowered the convicts and placed
them in other cells.
The convicts, James Thornton, F. T.
Ellis, James Mcdonald and ]. c. Mil
lard, assert that they secured the re-
volvers and dynamite by express, but
the prison authorities think the
weapons and explosives were smug-
gled to them by friends who visited
them. An investigation was imme-
diately instituted.
