Ted Sullivan Looks for important
Baseball Change Soon

New York Jan 2l.--"Ted" Sulli-
van, an authority on baseball. says: In
the national game of America changes
have been made in the rules since its
birth. When they compelled an out
fielder TO catch a bah on the fly, in
stead of the first bound, there We're
objections against that when they did
away with the disposing Of a batsman
by the fol bound and foul tip. there
were strong objections against that
change.
There were also objections against
making the first two fouls by bats
man strikes, so it matters not what
they advocate for the progress of the
game they viii still have the usual
objections
| viii now modestly state that other
llchrnges In the rules will take place,
mad If they are not changed one year
they will be the next. | will say first.
that they viii bring the pitcher down
to three balls. Another rule will be
made In eXempting a base runner from
being put ont if he ovcrslides or over
runs second or third base when he is
IN the act of stealing either of those
lags. ! do not mean that after he gets
Ia either of those bases and has been
caught off irving To get "a lead he
should be exempt from being put out
by sliding back or running over them.
TO call base runner cut after he art
fully steals either of those two bases
is n cheap put out and an accidental
one at best.
Another rule that they will make in
time. is that when a pinch hitter bats
for any member of team that mem
Der should not be declared out of the
game, but To qualify that rule the
pinch hitter should be barred further
in the game from batting any more.
