10 stand on the diamonds after a rain
there would be many postponements.
A club can get along with a wet out
field, but the diamond must be dry.
The only way to be sure of a dry dia-
mond is to have one OF the turtle
backs so that the water can run on.
NJ. III ydler has solved the question by
suggesting that the batter's box be
elevated so as to be OF a level with the
pitchers box. That will have the same
effect as lowering the pitchers box and
At the same time the diamond will get
all the drainage thai IL needs. Mr..
Herman Will agree 10 this, and that
question wiz be settled very quickly.
There will be no changes in the rules
concerning the number OF balls and
strikes to be allowed a batter.
