PLAN WILL IMPROVE BASERUNNING.

National league umpires have been
instructed by President Pullman to In
terpret the rules on baking 50 strictly
that II will be practically impossible
for the pitcher to make move OF
any kind when standing on the rubber
without delivering the ball either 10 the
batter or to first base under penalty
of having a balk called on him. The
purpose of this move, announced by
President Pulliam, Is to Increase the
base running, and that Is a laudabe

this move by the National league is ,ne

changing the wording Of the rule re-

adopted by other leagues, the National
leagues game will be considerably DIFF
ferent from those Of other leagues. The
National league has also Instructed its
umplres not to permit the game TO be
stopped for any presentation TO players
at the plate. This Ia a good move. too,
but II is practically the same thing as
inserting new rule in the playing
code, and II was done without consult
ing the Joint rules committee. There
ID no quarrel with the old league over
these attempts to improve the game,
but II the American league had done
the same thing there would be a growl
about "nagrant violations OF the ma
tlonal agreement" In modifying the
playing rules without the consent of
both leagues. It would be no more radI-
cal change II the American league
should order its umpircs 10 interpret
the foul strike rule In q manner which
would practically nulllfy it--Just as the
balk rule has been nullifed by umpires
for years--but II Ban johnson should
so instruct his umpires there would be
a cry Of breach Of faith and impending
war In view OF the frequent breaches
OF faith which the National league has
perpetrated In the last two years and
OF the radical changes IN the game or
dered by the old leagues executive II
would be interesting to zee what would
happen II the American league should
decide to ignore the foul strike rule for
a season. II would also be a boon to
the patrons OF American league games,

II Is understood that rules have been
adopted by the association, and that
these rules will go into force next
year. They provide that only bona
hde Students shall be understood to
mean not only those carrying the re-
quircd number of hours per week OF
class work. but also those students
that have been registered at the insti-
tuition they represent by the beginning
OF the second half year. Students who
enter after the opening OF the second
semester, therefore, will not be legi-
BILE to compete In the intercollegiate
contests one year hence. For the pres
ent contest however, the way Is not
so clear, and 1t is not known just what
rules will govern the entrance OF stu
dents IN competition,
AN OLD QUESTION is RAISED.
There Is one feature, however, that
seems TO be decided, and that Is that
