is likely that Wesleyan will not send

Beside the meet at Pittsburgh and
the West Virginia meet, the WESLEYAN
team viii probably have two dual
meets with state schools. One OF
these may be broadened 10 a three
cornered meet between another one
OF West Virginia's institutions and a
prominent school OF neighboring

decided upon. but Il Is practically GER
tain that Wesleyan's track men will

MANY CHANGES
MADE In RULES
NATIONAL COMMISSION AMENDS
OLD LAWS CONSIDERABLY.
N Runner 10 Stopped by coaeher.
Under New Rules. He viii Be
Declared Otrf


NEW YORK. Feb. IA Several
changes IN the playing rules OF base
ball were made to-day by the Joint
committee OF the major league rules
committees at meeting In the Offices
OF the National league here. The
meeting was attended by President
Ban johnson OF the American elague.
John A. Heydler. secretary OF the Ma
tonal league. and John u. Foster.
secretary OF the New York club. Con-
ME Mack, Clark Grifith and Miller
husgins did not attend. as they have
left the city.
The most important change in the
rules was 10 forbid a coacher from
stopping runner with his hands. or
cbsructing him in any way. The
runner shall be declared out n the
coaeher stop him by any physical
means.
Another change IN the rules govern
Daily 10 encourage the batsman as
Wen as the base runner. The rules.
heretofore. only permitted the coacher
10 encourage the base runner.
In case that a thrown ball hits the
umpire. the batsman shall be allowed
70 run as far as he can. Formerly
this only applied when an umpire
was lift by q thrown ball in foul ter.
ritory.
Cut Down Distance.
In the event that a PLAYER stops n
thrown ball with any portion OF his
UNIFORM, or by throwing OF a glove.
the base runner shall take two bases
This was an amendment to the rule
which permitted batsman TO take
three bases when a ball was caught
at Il.
When a ball hits an umpire after
IL gets away from a fielder the base
runner is entitled TO as many bases
as he can get. This Is an Amendment
TO the rule which sends base runners
back when the ball hits the umpire
The pitching rules were amended
In such way that the pitcher is per-
United to stand on the twirling slab.
Heretofore the rules compelled the
pitcher to stand behind the slab. bur
the rule was not always observed.
-, The National league agreed TO take
the American leagues Interpretation
or the inheld fly rule. A base runner
hereafter will not be permitted TO run
on an infeld fly. The American
league agreed TO take the National
leagues Interpretation of the baIk
rule, calling for a balk on the pitcher
dropping the ball
Nothing was done in the wav n,
eliminating the intentional pass AZ
Ban Johnson was OF the opinion that
no restrictions could possibly be mi
on the play. The scoring rules. as
ADVISED by the Baseball Writer'S AS.
ISOLATION. were all adopted.
