Coaches Given Broader Scope.

Rule 5S. regarding coaches. which
formerly restricted the advice of the
coach to the baserunner, has been
changed i'll such {: way as to allow the
coach to address words of assistance
and direction to the baserunner or the
batsman, and also to any members of
his own team, but not to those of the
opposing team. This is a distinct de
parture from the old rule. which re-
stricted the coaching to the baserun-
ner only but which was not carried
out properly.
The amendment regarding the scor-
ing of home run provides that the
batsman in knocking the ball out of
the grounds. which entities him to I,
home run, must complete the full cir
cult. touching each bag. Freak"
hits which have in the past counted
for a home run, such as when the ball
had lodged in wire screen over either
field fence. in the future only will
count for tWo-base hit.
Rule 30.-"Delivery of the ball to the
bat has been amended to conform
with the custom always used. The
pitcher in making ready for the deliv-
cry of a ball shall be in fair position
if one foot is on the plate or any part
of the rubber.

of this rule has been changed to read:

ner at third base or a base runner who is
rounding third base for the home plate

RIGHT BACK

Another story of Mark Twain. He
had finished his speech at a dinner
party, and, on his seating himself, a
lawyer rose, showed his hands deep
into his trouser-pockets, as was his
habit, and laughingly inquired of
those present:
Doesn't it strike this company as
a little unusual that a professional
humorist should be funny?"
When the laughter that greeted
this sally had subsidized, Mark Twain
drawled out:
Doesn't it strike this company a
little unusual that a lawyer should
have his hands in his own pockets?"
