ii. The intent Of the rule was understood
and observed pretty well ~ it was. but
tho words are added for the sake of clear
ness.
IT always has been illegal for a fielder
to stop or catch batted ball with his
cap. loose glove or any part of his
uniform. but now the offence is made
to apply TO a thrown ball also. SO "a
catcher won't he allowed hereafter to
heave his glove at a wild throw past
the plate. The penalty for such inter-
ference with batted ball IL three bases
but only two on "A thrown ball.
The practice of coachers AT third Of
making n flying tackle and dragging an
impetuous base runner back to the haven
has become SO common that hereafter the
runner is out II the coacher touches or
holds him. This is considered only fair
because often the Jealous and needless
runner would have rushed headlong into
an out II he had not been checked by the
coacher.
The rule C56) which prescribed that
the base runner Is out II a coacher at
third draws n throw by dashing toward
the plate on a batted ball not caught
on the hy or on a thrown ball now takes
in ball caught on the fy. AS the
coach.r could make the same tricky blur
on a fly ball as well as on the other
two plays II was considered high time
to penalize his team for that case OF
virtual Interference also.
In changing rule 81 so that coacher
NJ first is not restricted to the base
runner in directing verbal advice the
committee made legal what has been
done more or less snyway--thc coacher
talking TO the batter II was a difficult
rule for umpires to enforce.
In suspending play--rule -. section 8
II is provided that time shall not be
called 10y the umpire until the ball be
held by the pitcher standing in his posi-
ton" to which the committee has cN-
ceptcd plays arising under section 3. rule
81. dealing with blocked balls. For OBJ
vious reasons the committee also adds
to the rule 50 that the quoted measure
docs not apply In cases OF fre, panic or
