join! COMMITTEE SEEKS
TO MAKE RULES Palmer
Baseball Rule Makers Will En-
deavor to Simplify Text Of
Present Laws.
MANY CHANGES SUGGESTED

New York, Jan. 19.--When the joint
rules committee OF the National and
American leagues meet at Pittsburg
Monday IT is expected that most of the
session will be taken up I'm simplify
ing the playing rules in matter of brew
ity and directness. Some of the rules
as they now read are puzzling. Inas-
much as the rules are made not only
for the National and American leagues
and the minor leagues, but for the am
ateur players as well. they should be
so framed as to be plain for all to un-
derstand. The case of professional
ball played under instructions from a
competent umpire is altogether differ
emit from that of school boy or cor
ner-iJt game.
The umpires Of the big leagues as
well as the rules committee of the
Baseball Writer'S association have been
invited TO meet the rules committee
and offer any ideas they may have
tending to help along the cause OF
clearness. The committee will also
consider suggestions from followers of
the game.
The composition of the committee
that will go oyer the rules is as fol-
lows:
American league-Charles Comiskey.
Chicago; Charles Somers, Cleveland;
Thomas Noyes, Washington. 1t is like
ly that Manager Hugh Duffy of the
White Sox will act for President Com
iskey.
National league--President Thomas
j. Lynch, Secretary John A. Heydler
and Clarke Griffith of Cincinnati.
Baseball Writer'S Association-H. p.
Edwards, Cleveland; l. Il. Sanborn,
Chicago; Jack Ryder, Cincinnati.
Umpires-"Silk" O'Loughlin, Tom
Connolly and Jack Sheridan. American
league; Hank O'Day. Jimmy tombstone
and Billy Klein, National league.
While there is little chance that the
committee will make any radical chan
gees i'm the playing rules. n number of
suggestions will be offered for their
consideration. The question of in
creased batting is constantly being agi-
tated. George Tebeau. owner of the
Kansas City club and an old ball play
err suggests that the league should rule
in favor of a larger ball and a larger
bat and that the pitcher be taken out
when II is his time to bat, allowing
some other player to do the twirler's
batting and running. Edward Hanlon
suggests that the home plate be made
smaller and where the front of the
rubber Is now seventeen inches that 1t
should be reduced to ten or twelve.
Manager Fred Lake of the Boston Ma
tionals believes the number of balls al
lowed pitcher should be reduced from
four To three. Lake is also i'm favor of
a rule compelling all catchers to wear
shinguards of some kind.
From President Ban Johnson of the
American league comes a suggestion
that a rule be passed preventing the
pitcher taking the regulation five-ball
warm-up at the beginning of each in
ming. Johnson figures that eighteen
minutes are taken up during n game
for the warm-up and he is i'm favor of
shortening the games wherever posi-
HE.
