Base Ball Rules

With the exception OF two new rules
enacted by the joint rules committee
OF the National League and the Ameri-
can League, in February, the baseball
code remains the same as last year.
A rule that will prove popular with the
spectators is the one which prohibits
pitchers from soiling the ball before
delivering it to the batter. This habit
on the part OF the pitcher resulted in
delays. but IL the intent OF the rule IS
carried out next season all this will be
eliminated Pitchers are prohibited
from rubbing the bail on the ground
or grass Some managers claim that
it will be dead letter." as there is
nothing to prevent the pitcher from
filling his mitt with dirt and remove
the gloss from the ball by that method.
Whether pitchers will be permitted to
cvade the rule in this way will depend
on the rulings OF the umpires.
The other new rule relates 10 the
scoring OF sacrifice hits. The amend
ment to this rule reads as follows: "A
sacrifice hit shall be credited to a
batsman. when no one is out, or when
but one man is out, when he hits fly
ball that is caught but results in run
being scored" Heretofore a batter
on a hyout to the outheld. This will
naturally have a tendency to boost bat
ting averages. all along the line, as it
will not count time at bat.
Official Rall-Thc official ball must
weigh not less than FIVE nor more than
| FIVE and one -quartcr ounces, and meas
| ure not less than nine nor more than
nine and quarter inches in cir
conference.
The Bat-The bat must be round not
over two and threc-quarter inches in
| diameter in thickcst part, nor more
than forty inches long.
Warming up-Pitchers. at the be-
ginning oi each inning. are allowed to
throw five balls to catcher or inhclder
for warming up practice.
Time Allowed Pitchcrs-lf a pitcher
| occupies more than twenty seconds in
, delivering the ball to the batter. the
! umpire may call ball for each offcnse
, OF this nature.
Block Ball-Whcncver person not
engaged in the game touches a battcd
or thrown ball a block BALI results,
and runners shall be privileged to adj
vance around the bases until the ball
is thrown to the pitcher standing in his
position.
Time Allowed Battcrs-A batter fail
inc to take his position within one
minute after the umpire summons him
will be called ont
Intcricrcrcc-Th batter shall be
called out II he attempts to hinder the
I catcher from fielding or throwing the
, ball.
Fair IIit-.N fair hit is a legally bat
ted ball that settles on fair ground in
the inicld, or that bounds from iair
ground to the outiicld inside 81 first
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1908-04-25

base or third base. or that touches the
person OF player or the umpire on
fair ground.
Blunt Hit-A bunt hit is legally bat
ted ball, not swung at by the batter.
Out on bunt-The batter is out on
a bunt that rolls foul il the attempted
bunt is made on the third strike.
Inheld Fly-A batter is out on a pop
fly to the inheld with first and second,
or first, second and third bases occu-
pied. provided the fly is batted before
two men were out
Three Strikes-The batter is out
when three strikes are called and first
base is occupied, whether the catcher
holds the ball or not, except there be
two out at the time.
A Base Hit-A base hit is credited
to the batter when the ball strikes fair
ground outside OF the reach OF the
fclders: when the ball is partially or
wholly stopped by fielder in motion
but such player cannot recover him
self in time TO field the ball to first be-
, fore the batter reaches that base; a
base hit is also credited to the batter
when he hits the ball with such force
that the player cannot handle the ball
in time to put out the batter or force
out base runner In cases OF doubt
the batter is credited with hit and the
fielder exempted from an error A
base hit is never credited to batter
when a base runner is forced out by
the play. Where base runner is call
cd out By being hit by ba,ted ball,
except by himself, the batter is credit
ed with a hit.
Fielding Errors-An error is a mis-
play which allows 4 base runner TO
make one or more bases when perfect
play would have insured his being out.
Battery Errors-Thcse are not
charged up against pitchers and catch
ers. They include wild pitches. bases
on balls, balks. etc, by the pitcher;
Wild throws by the catcher, in an at
temp, TO prevent stolen base; passed
balls are also claSScd as battery errors.
Stolen Bascs-A player is credited
with stolen base whenever he adj
vanccs a base unaidcd by a base hit, a
put ont or n fielding error.
Dead Ball-N dead ball is ball de-
livcrcd to the batter by IT,. pitcher.

Mon day at Patagonia Sheriff Harry Saxon arrested suspicious character named k. w. Ross, who seemed to have acquired sudden wealth. The sheriff had heard at Patagonia that man named Austin Roper from a railroad camp, had been robbed last Satur. day of a pocket book containing some cash, some checks given him by other workmen to cash and heavy gold ring. Apparently anxious to recover the property en- trusted to him, Roper had an- nounced willingness to permit anyone returning the pocket book with the checks and ring, to retain the cash. Sheriff Saxon started to

work on the case and soon had his attention attracted by Ross, whom he had seen in Nogales short time before, apparently penniless. Ross was spending money and while buying drinks laid down S20 gold piece. The sheriff arrested him on suspicion and brought him to Nogales that night. Something over $50 in cash was found on Ross, while sewed in the cuff of the left sleeve of his coat were the missing cheeks. The ring was found sewed in the lining of his vest. Tuesday he was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Gildea and bound over to the grand jury on charge of robbery. He says he found the pocket book.

The erecting crew are now working at Esperanza where in the near future an office of the Federal Telegraph service will be opened. That at Cocorit and other Pueblo towns will be closed, but wire communication will be continued by means of a Federal Telephone line.
 During the past week sales of town lots at Esperanza have been made as follows: To Mr. c. G. Moreno, Lots II, 12, l3, IA and 15 in Block 5; to Patrick Quinn, Lots Is, r, IS, 19 and 20 in Block 5; to $. M. Mcdaniel, Lots IS, 19 and 20 in Block 6. All three of these purchasers intend to improve their lots by the erection of buildings for both business and residential purposes in the immediate future. Contractors are now figuring on Mr. Moreno's house which will contain a store room on the corner lot and living rooms facing Rail road avenue. Mir. Mcdaniel will erect a building suitable for hotel purposes and will very likely un- dertake the management thereof personally.
 The Richardson Construction Company at Esperanza has re- ceived from Mir. F. A.

 MT. G. c. Francis of the firm of Francis < Mcdonald of Esperanza, recently paid a visit to his old stamping ground, Potam. He has now returned to Esperanza where he and his partner are at present engaged in the erection of a com modious residence for the manager of the, Richardson Construction Company.
 MT. Philip Ware, of Santa Rosa, California, visited Esperanza on the 18th with view to purchasing small cattle or dairy ranch with irrigated lands adjoining. He was shown just the combination he was looking for and as soon as tbe Irriga- ton Canal is extended to the lands in question will in all probability return to the delta as a permanent settler.
 Elmer Anderson of Bacum is now busily engaged in shipping Yaqui Delta tomatoes by express to various towns in the Southwest and along the Pacific Coast. The greater part of the early shipments are being consigned to Los Angeles, San Froncisco and Portland, Ore. Mir. Anderson reports the yield of tomatoes on his 150 acres of that fruit to be much heavier than he had anticipated.
 Frank J. Doyle, the popular con- ductor on the F. c. de c. R. Y. x P, visited Esperanza recently. He has entered into a contract with the Richardson Construction Com pany through MT. Carl F. Adam, its manager, whereby for two years Mir. Doyle and his partner in the enterprise, Mir. J. F. Laselle, will be privileged to cut firewood on. certain of the lands of the Com pany for shipment to various points along the line of the railroad.
 Recent rains in the upper valley of the Yaqui caused a noticeable rise in the river on the 9th inst. By the night of that date the waters had risen two meters and by the following morning were running two and one-half meters over the siIls of the headgates at Los Hor- nos. Since that date the river has fallen to two meters, but so slowly that ample water supply for irri- gators Is assured for the spring planting.
