ably that in those days ''paces' was
the word for what we today call feet

Ten years later all this ancient rub
Dish was eliminated and the rule was
made to read explicitly: The bases

equal distances from each other and
securely fastened upon each corner
of a square, whose sides are, re-
spectively, thirty yards. They must
be 50 constructed and placed as to

originally one foot square, rs the rule
says, but in 1877. = year after the birth
of the National League. they were en-
larged to fifteen inches square, and
they are SO to this day.
At the start the center Of the bags
was placed exactly on the corner Of
the diamond. That made the bags at
first and third bases slop over into
foul territory. Frequent disputes about
fair or foul balls across the bags final
iy Tin 1880 led to the enactment Of
law that requires all the bags to be
on fair ground and that any ball go
ing across tho bag, no matter at what
angle, should be called a fair hit.
That is the reason the fan at the game
today sees the first baseman kick his
bag into position even with the foul
line. He may also see the base run
ner kicking 1t the other way. precipi-
