legation, if not a burning question,
was burning to the countenances OF
the bitter rivals, and to avoid a con-
fiagration, the pitcher was moved five
feet further away from the batter. It
was an honest and frank acknoWl-
edgement of the predominance of the
pitcher over the batter. Several
heightened boxmen fell by the way
side in consequence of this change,
which entailed the strenuous labor
of tossing the ball a distance of so
feet instead of 45. The box retain
ed its dimensions of 6tfeet by 4.
The pitcher was given the greatest
freedom in 1884 in the National
league which abolished the rule re-
curing him to deliver the ball with
his hand passing below his shoulder
He was now allowed to throw the
ball in any style, below or above his
shoulder. take as many steps as he
pleased and play high jfnks with the
poor batter generally. The Amerf7
can Association fell in line the fol-
lowing year, and then all over the
country the pitcher was in his ele-
ment, gaining victory after victory
over his hereditary foeman with the
greatest ease.
But he received a sudden and Sc
we're check in 1887, when under the
domination of the joint rules COM
nnittee the box was cut down to 4 feet
compelled to keep one foot on the
rear line and forbidden to take more
than one step in delivering the, BALL
It was also enacted that he ''shan hold
the ball before delivery, fairly in
front eof his body and in sight of the
umpire" In 1870, as was noted, the
pitcher was not allowed to hide his
face from the batter, and now. in
1887, he was not allowed to hide the
ball.
The NEW rule was a great handicap
to the pitchers, many of them had to
quit the game. To make matters hard
er for him he was compelled to send
four good balls over the plate before
a batter could be called out on strikes
and every time he sent a man to base
on balls it was scored as a. base hit
against him. In spite Of all SEEM
ingIy unsurm onntable obstacles, he
gradually regained his ascendency
over the batter and finally. conquered
him as he had done many times be-
fore.
This last conquest led to the great
est change in the history of the pitch
ing department. In 1888 the box, as
we'll as the points was eliminated
from the game, and the pitching dis
lance increased 10 1-2 feet, from SO
feet to so IL feet. instead of g. box
a white rubber plate IL inches long
and inches wide was fixed in the
ground even with the surface, and the
pitcher had to keep one foot in con-
tact, with this rubber in the act of
delivering the ball. Two years later
in 1895, the rubber was made 24x6
inches and So it remains today. The
pitchers Tines were done away with
and the pitchers boundary took
their place.

wholesome food and exercise and
smiling friends, blow into blazing and
healthy energy of fires of youth
which had been banked and hushed
by the grit of entailed poverty and
ignorance. They are possessed with
a strange feeling Of strength, glad
