Thanks to the American and Nation
al league conference held in Pitts
burg recently, baseball will be a better
game ext season. For the first time
in many years the rules will be Just
and plain enough for the youngest eX-
ponent of the game to understand.
The rules committee has done it's
work well.
The most important work accom-
plished by the rule makers deals with
the passed ball. and the wild pitch.''
The members of the committee looked
upon the pitcher and catcher the same
as any other fielder, and from now on
the battery will not be exempt from
the error column.
For years it has been suggested that
a wild pitch or a passed ball should
count as an error. but the magnates
who have never played baseball could
not see it that way. This year, how
ever, we have ex-ball players to han
die the playing rules, which accounts
for the common sense changes.
AoS ySo1 d ulC was pdSS0u l1dl
charged a pitcher or catcher with an
error If a man reached first base
through a so called battery error. At
the same time if a player scored from
third base on a wild pitch or a passed
ball the battery was not charged with
a misplay. The injustice of this rule
raised a howl of protest from patrons
throughout the country; hence the
change.
President Lynch and John A. Heyd-
Ter scored a home run hit when they
put through a rule that will prevent
umpire batting" from the bench. I'm
complimentary remarks hurled from
the bench have always been a source
of worry for the umpire. He was at
a disadvantage because, with his back
turned, he could not pick out the of
fender. Now. however, the umpire
has the power to fine a player who
talks from the bench, and if this does
not remedy the trouble he can clear
the bench Of all extra players, sending
them to the clubhouse, and when ex

sent for one at a time.
This rule is sur to bear good re.
suits. and it will also shorten the play.
ing time. Often an umpire is compelled
to take off his mask and turn to the
bench to warn offenders.
A change that will do away with a
lot of kicking is that which compels
both umpires to get into action when
more than one base is occupied. Here
after the umpire behind the plate must
v the play at third base, while
the field umpire is looking after first
base. This means that the man be-
hind the plate will not have to be ap.
pealed to if the field umpire misses q
play at third. which often happened
last year.

able result OF the
country wide boycott against meat
may be stretching it a bit, there is
the matter ends even the vegetarians
may be crowding the butcher shops.
At any rate, from Maine to California
the battle against %eXorbitant prices of
food has been taken up, and the trusts
are getting the scare of their lives.
"Down with the higher cost Of liv-
ing" is the cry, and it's a nation wide
slogan.
Uncle Sam, too, has put a fine edge
on his sword and is in the very thick
of the fight, his first opponent being
the big meat trust. This trust includes
Armour & Co, Swift & Co., Nelson
Norris & Co. and the National Pack
ing company, all of Chicago. The last
company is the selling agent for the
other three, and through it, it is said,
the trust dictates the price Of meat
to the retailers all over the country.
The proceedings were ordered insti-
tuted in Chicago after a vast amount
of evidence gathered by the depart
ment Of justice during the past six
months had been considered.
The increased cost of living, as evil
denced by the high prices for meat,
are directly responsible for the govern
ment's action. In addition to the Grim
inal proceedings, civil suits to dissolve
the trust will probably be brought
later.
The department Of justice two years
ago sought to prosecute the beef trust,
but defeated it's own object by OBJ
tanning evidence Oh which to convict
the corporations and their officers from
the latter themselves. The immunity
clause i'll the act prevented the prose-
cutions, and the whole proceeding col
lapsed.
The special agents Of the department
Of justice have collected a mass of
data i'll Chicago and elsewhere on
which the authorities are confident OF
procuring convictions. The evidence
is said to be overwhelming that the
firms named absolutely control the
meat industry Of the country and die
tate prices both to the producer and
the consumer. Their operations are al
legged to be in fragrant violation of the
Sherman act and in restraint OF trade.
The suit will be brought before Judge
Kenesaw M. Lands Of the United
States district court for the northern
district of Illinois, the jurist who i'm
posed the $29,240,O00 fine on the Stand
ard Oil company.
Whether Uncle Sam comes out victo-
rious or not in his fight, the beef trust
will long feel the effect of the big
boycott now spreading over the entire
country, and in many cities and towns
novel schemes are being adopted to
help the good work along and gain re-
cruits. In Baltimore buttons bearing
the inscription 81 Don't Buy Meat-Do
You?' are being worn on the streets IN
large numbers, following the action of

ceived Il card at the head Of which

y. long list of vegetable dishes fol-
lowed.
All through the south the movement
has spread, and thousands have signed
pledges to abstain from animal food
for thirty days. In Washington the
Anti Food Trust league has done and
is doing an immense amount of work
to spread the boycott. The league has
engaged q corps of experts in house
hold economics and the preparation Of
food products to devise substitutes for
any article of food which may be boy
cotted because of high prices. These
experts will oon be sending broadcast
through the districts where the meat

This same plan will be applied to
the leagues campaign against any ar
ticle of food which may be decided to
be too high priced. The corps of ex-
perts was engaged because Of the new
condition which the beef boycott sud
denly presented.
