TO score as armed all runs for which
the pitcher vas solely responsible.
thus giving a line on the real defen,
/ work Of a pitcher. Under the Oil
system a pitcher might fill the bases
with passes and then the next man
would knock A home run. Only the
one run would be earned, but the pit
cher would really be responsible for
all four Of them. So Mr.. Heydler in.
struc'ed his scorers to set down as
earned runs all those which were
scored on hits, bases on balls, hit by
pitched balls. sacrifice hits, wild pitt
ches or balks. 1t was pointed out at
the time that the stolen bases should
really be included in this list, as AT
least fifty per emf of the steals are
due as much to the pitcher as to the
catcher. This a stolen bases are
included in the scoring of earned
runs. The only elements Of run scor-
ing which do not operate toward an
earned tally are fielding error and
passed balls. Every run for which
the pitcher is directly responsible in
n way except by making a fielding
error is put down as an earned run.
of course, no runs are earned which
are scored after a chance has been
offered to retire the side IN an inning

FEEDERS CHOICE AND EARNED RUN Rules
CHANGED IN NATIONAL LEAGUE THIS YEAR

In the National league this year.
n probably in the American league
also, a batter will get a Ease hit on
a play which should always have been
scored AS a hit. but which, in many
cities. was given as q f1elder's choice.
. very unfair ruling for the batter.
This is the play in which an attempt
on either a bunt or a sharp-hit
grounder to the infeld, the attempt
failing, though the play is made per-
fectly, With no sign of an error. Sec.
rotary Heydler of the National league
mas instructed all his official scorers
to give a hit on this play, and Presi-
lent Ban johnson of the American
decision of the scoring committee Of
the Baseball Writer'S association,
which will be favorable to scoring the
PLAY as a base hit. Hereafter in all
cities the batters will get credit for a
hit when they advance a preceding
runner and reach base themselves,
without assistance of an error by
ever advanced against scoring this
play as a. base hit was the hackneyed
n that the batter could have been
thrown out at first base il the fielder
had tossed to hat bag aud had not
tried to retire h preceding runner
dl second Lnlrd or home. There was
not an atom of value in this argu.
ment. for 1t is not the province OF h
scorer to decide what might have
been done. IL the play had been made
differently. but only to record what
was actually done. In his case, the
batter reaches first base without fore
ing a preceding runner and without
any error being made. He is clearly
entitled to a base hit. Hits are given
on misjudged flies. which could have
neen easily caught. on all kinds of
bone-head plays, and there is no rca-
son why a batter who has really done
something for his side without the
help OF an error by the oppositiOn
should not get credit for it.
Another point in discussion is in
the scoring of earned uns. In a
gone by all earned run WAS given only
the way around by hits. Nothing
could enter into the composition Of
an earned run but base hits. The

FOR ~HIGHLANDERS

Boston, April 1s.-Hal chase's right
arm was in such bad shape yesterday
from an injury received in batting
practice Monday that 1t was decided
to make ar X-ray examination to de-
termine whether a bone had been
splintered.
Trainer Barrett said that Chase
might be out Of the game for some
time.
Chase was batting one of the New
York substitute pitchers just before
the game began. when a swift ball
caught him above the elbow. He went
into the game. but the pain from the
injury became SO great that he re-
tired after three innings. It was not
until this morning that the serious.
ness Of the bruise became apparent.
In spite Of his speed. Chase has not
proved a glittering success at second
base. He does not cover the amount
of ground a fast right-hander can take
care of. and he does not get his throws
to first base off with the quickness
that was expected Of him. Any left
handed man is handicapped in play
ing second base. and Chase is proving
no exception to the rule.
