Gals to be more
"~o- NeM7 careful than most
~O umpires are won't
TO be in giving decisions on the bases.
~ not be too hasty in giving base
decisions, especially in cases where the
runner must be touched out" The
letter also contains a little notice that
covers he rapid fire delivery used by
Joe McGinnity last year., on which
many Eastern League managers pro-
tested. The rule says: "a pitcher cam
not legally run into the box, catch the
ball and pitch: but il on the rubber,
when the ball is returned by the CATCH
er, he can Immediately deliver the ball
to the batter" McGinnity's delivery,
according to, this, has always been
legal.
Another new ruling that will stamp
out rowdyism is that any player or
dered out of the game, not necessarily
off the field. will be fined $40 every
time. An umpire may also fine a nan
net more h $40 at any time during a
Z game, and IL he later finds cause to
eject him the man will be fine SO
more. The umpires are instructed to be
careful about allowing bats and other
paraphernalia lying about. and all
catchers must take their masks, mits
and chest protectors to the bench with
them every inning. There are several
very good rules and show that Presi-
dent Barrow has the eye of experience
working.
A st. Louis scribe says: 1.-TWO of the
Browns who have made the best i'm
pressions are Lefty George, the
pitcher. and Joe Crisp, the Newark
scatcher. 1t is a .iafe bet h a both
will be retained throughout the season.
Crisp is a .corking good receiver, and,
what's more. a demon slugger when it
<fcmes to rapptng oil the long drives.
HIP has more, of the build of a top
cher than Paul Krichell, the latter
beng short and stocky. Still Kricheil
is 6ritty and a hard worker and can
by m e be declared out of the
running"
