there is a saving Of two pounds in the

Murphy of Cubs Pursues Foolish Policy in Crfticfsing Recent Action of National League Rules Com-
 mittee-- Spectators Profit
rrom the Phlladelphia BuIletin.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 Because it is his motto to prevent the dove of peace from ever having chance to get even 40 winks, President Murphy, of the Chicago Cubs, has talk en objection to the new rules formu- lated at the sessions of the rules com mittee at Pittsburg last week. Since none of the changes is of revolution ary character, tn ere is really no neces- sity for Murphy or any one else to get blue In the face in protesting against their enactment
 The changes made in the rules were adopted after careful thought by some of the best equipped men on rules in the country, the joint committee being made up largely of former players, um- pires, and baseball writers. That so few changes and none of a radical na- ture were adopted proves how nearly perfect the present game of baseball is. At the same time the joint com mittee found some points that needed altering, and they altered them, each change being made for the good of the sport.
 One change was made purely for the benefit of the spectators. This was that when new player is put into the game "the captain must notify the umpire and the umpire must announce it to tn spectators"
 The captain or the umpire can be fined s5 for failure to obey this rule. The thought that naturally arises here is: Who is to "squeal" on the umpire when he fails to do his duty in this respect?
