BASEBALL MEN
IN JOINT MEETING
How Much Rather Than How to Play
The Game Is Now Under
Discussion.

Pittsburg, Jan 2+-Although the uues-
tion of how much baseball, rather than
how to play. WAS tho paramount issue
IN the meetings today of tho joint
schedule and rules committees of the
American and National leagues, the rule
makers had before them several propo-
sails for more or less important aItera-
tons in tho game The suggestions were
drawn up by Robert McRoy. American
league secretary. and John Flanner, Ban
B. Johnsons general utility man.
One proposal is to prohibit hiding the
bail" Tho trick WIS a favoritc with
big league innelders seasons ago and
even now is often tried with success.
The principal objection given to 1t is tho
delay involved.
Another proposed change gives tho
base runners the right to make as many
bases as they Gun when a thrown ball
hits the umpire while that official Is
on fair ground The ball would count
in play. according to the Amendment
just as II 1t hit q runner.
According TO present rules. wild pitches
and passed balls are scored errors
only. when they enable the batsman TO
reach first base.
The American leaguerS propose the
change that errors be scored also when
ever any base runner finds opportunity
TO advance on a Wild pitch or passed
ball.
Another proposed change in scoring
rules provides that one assist should be
credited to each man who handles the
ball In run-up, Including the player
tho latter has not handled the ball pre-
viously- The few other proposals for
revision of the rules are OF a more tech
nical character.
