THE TIMES SUGGESTION
Scorecard Nuisance Finally Corrected - Original Pro-
poSalS of Times Passed in. Full at League
Meeting-Other Rules.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE American
League passed a rule yesterday that will
keep the clubs in the circuit constantly
on The lookout for fear of a $40 tine
every time a mistake is made
The rule is that the home club SHALL
before every game, place a large
bulletin board I'm a conspicuous place,
and on that put the batting order and
position of players Of the two teams.
Also. there must be space on the board
TO make changes in the lineup after the
game IS started. For failure 10 comply
with this rule a fine of so viii be I'M
posed on the home club for any error
that is not changed at once.
Several other new rules were adopted
at the American League meeting in the
Wolcott Hotel yesterday afternoon that
will tend to put the game In that or
ganization on a higher standard than
that played in the National League.
The rules and amendments passed
upon will undoubtedly make the game
more interesting from the spectators
viewpoint, and the championship games
hereafter should be won on their merit
solely. Wild throws from a fielder to
first base and into the stands will here
after entitle the base runner to but one

the ball was retrieved, either from the
gTandstand or from some other evasive
corner. This rule win be OF great aid
TO the Outfelders. who are inclined TO be
erTatic when returning a ball TO the
infeld There WAS no opposition 10
this amendment 10 the rule. and IT was
adopted unanimously by the owners in
attendance.

no opposition was the rule that keeps
the order on the field during practice
and during the game under the super
vision OF dhe umpire. The arbitrator
in charge viii be held responsible for
the conduct OF Tue players from the
time he takes the field, before practice
and during the game. The umpire viii
be empowered to impose fines or order
from the field any player whose conduct
he deems not proper
In connection with this a new rule
was passed which provides forty min
uteS' preparation before a game OF
this time the visiting players should
have allotted to them the tight 70 prac-
tice for thirty minutes. The remaining
ten minutes home player should have
