CINCINNATI BASE HIT THROWN OUT
 BY RULES COM.

The National league rules commit tee consisting of Secretary John B. Faster of the Giants, Manager Miller Hukgins Of St. Louis, and Umpire Henry O'Day, met yesterday and ad- vocated several changes in the play ing and scoring rules. They decided on several changes which will not be announced until they are eubmftted to the rules committee of the American league.
 one of the National league commit tees changes relates to the so-called stCincinnAti base hft.'' Their sugges- ton of the rule to cover this point is as follows:
 When a fielder, after handling a batted ball, elects to xry to retire a base runper instead of the batter, the play is known as a felder's choice. Tn case the runner is retired or would be retired a1ut for an erroFs the batter shall be charged with a time at bat but no hit
 If the man is not retired and no err TOT is made the batter shall be charg- ed with q time at bat but no hit, pro- vidine he swung at the ball, and shall be credited with a. sacrifice hit, pro- vided he bunted the bal.
 1fs however in the Judgment of the scorer, the batter could nor have been retired at first base by perfect field ing he shall be credited with a base hit
 One of the new features of this rule provodes that the batsuan gets credit for a sacrifice hit, if he bunts the ball, and the play is made on the base rum ner and he is not retired.

FOSTER AND KERR
 MAY LOSE BERTH
New Haven Club Has Young sters Signed to Take Vet
 erans' Places.


 That New Haven will again be in the running. for the Eastern associa- ton pennart seems evident from the present outlook. Owner Cameron who is nursing his ills following an operation, takes the pen in hand and sends w ord that the Elm City team must be sreckoned with when the Ques- ton of pennant contenders is brought up Waters and NagIe- will be de- pended upon to work behind the bat, although the acquisition of Speer and Angermeir,s two vet teralls creates a 'runor that a change may oes made DeMott Thomas, White and Leach will be included among the candidates for pitching berths. Leach is a New Haven boy and spent the 1913 season in the Kitty league.
 Moose Miller. despite reports to the contrary, will hold down first base again: Crowther, the Brown coIlegian, is slated to suppIant Rolling at sec oad; Pope will cavort in the shortheId and the veteran Sherwood will play on third base. Changes are expected in the outf1eld, however. Barr is sure of his position in left field but two youngsters, who were gobbled in the draft, may take the places Of Foster and Kerr. who failed to impress the baseball fraternity by their work last season. Chancey, who is slated tc fill Kerr's shoes, Is a heavy hitter and reports from the south indicate thai he will have little difT1culty in mak- ing good

 The winner will get $1,0Oo.@s Miss Pitonof is ranked as one of the best women swimmers in this country if not in the world. E1ionsky also has made a great endurance record.

SOLDERING PLAYS of the American
stage Their play is a new variation
of The Tanning of the Shrew, and on
the whole an amusing and ingenious
diversion. Instead of being the usual
noble. nauseating. magnanimous and
chivalrous hero the principal male
character is an approach to real
man. And the heroine, instead of be-
ing worshipped for her virtues, is
frankly exposed as a selfish young fe-
male who is entitled to no credit what
soever for leaving undone the things
she does not want to DO.
In the first act she plays an out
rageously caddish trick on the man.
which humiliates him and in an al
most incredible fashion. She delib-
