OLD BASEBALL RULES
knocker Could Demand High,
Low or Fair Ball Be Pitched.
Absurd Practice Was Not Abolished
Until 1ss7-what Would Ty Cobb
Do u Like Conditions Pre-.
vailed at PRESENT.

Many Of the old rules governing
baseball now seem very freakish to
the fans, but the one which seems
strongest Of all, perhaps, was that
which gave the '%knocker" or "stlcker"
the privilege OF demanding Of the
pitcher n high or n low ball. 1t vas
Mt a meeting held In New York 40
years ago. November 80, 1870, that
this rule was adopted.
Up to 1870 the pitcher could heave
the pellet where he pleased, but the
knocker didn't have to take a smash
mt II until he was good and ready.
Strikes were not recorded against him
unless he hit ut n ball and missed.
That was pie for the batsman, but
tough on the Woodworking pitcher and
the sweltering spectators. In the
gnmes Of 1870 the pitcher was re-
quired to put the ball owe 'fairly for
the striker" and II the latter let good
ones go by strikes were called on
him, and II the third good one was

beat the Giants ms regularly as he
worked against them. This year he
seems to be even better and Is start
Ing like doing 1t as he once did In the
American league.
Here Is a little example OF what
Coombs could do while with the Ath-
ietics. Connie Mack started him one
day against the Boston Red Sox, al
ways u hard team TO beat. The game
rolled along just "A innings before the
Athletics broke n / to l tie and won
the game 4 and /. Coombs allowed 10
hits, all well scattered, and sent IS
Reds back TO the bench after each
had taken three swings.

SINGULAR PLAY BY CRAVATH
Quick Return Of Apparently Safe Hlt
Forces Runner at Plate-Bat.
ter Robbed Of Hit.

The force-out OF n runner Mt the
plate on n ball that dropped In the
outfield Is the remarkable play made
In "a recent game between the Phlllies
and Cubs. With the bases full, and
n out, Mann OF the Cubs poked the
ball to center field, and 900 times in
1000 1t would have gone for II base
hit. Cravath was playing center. He
caught the ball on the first bounce.
and, actuated by almost n sixth sense,
he hurled the bali straight to Catcher
Klllifer and forced out Doyle, hot
footing II from third. The play robbed
Mann of a hit.

caught, either before 1t touched the
ground or on the first bound the bats
man vas put. However, no strike was
chilled on the first ball pitched, unless
the striker struck ut and missed II.
The rule adopted In November, 1870,
which gave the striker the privilege
of calling for II high one or u low one,
was put into effect the following sea-
son, which was the first year OF the
National association, the forerunner
Of the National league. A high ball
was defined as beteeen shoulder and
waist, and n low one was between
waist and knee. II the batter got what
was ordered from the pitcher, and
didn't strike ut 1t, "A strike was called
on him anyway. If the striker didn't
express IA preference. n strike was
called on him II the ball was fair"
which meant between the shoulder and
the knee.
After 1870 the batter had to call
for either n high, low or fair ball. This
practice, which now seems so absurd,
was not abolished until 1887. Imagine
Ty Cobb being privileged to call for
the sort Of ball he wantedl

TRIED TO RUN LEFT.HANDED
President Tener Tells Of Batter Who
Had Switched Positions at Plate
Dashlng for Third.

John X. Tener, president Of the Ma
tional league, vouches for this story /:
slew Dickerson, outfielder for the Pr

ted left-handed, and l%eft.handed pitch
ers In those times were scarce. Bat
ters seldom faced them, and some bat
tiers, including Dickerson, had but a
hazy idea Of what they looked like.
One day he faced one, however, and
was bewildered. His mate suggested
that he turn around and bat right
handed. He did SO, grounded toward
the left instead Of the right, as he gen
orally did when batting left-handed,
and so fixed was the habit Of turning
from the side Of the plate on which he
stood that he dashed down tAs line to
ward third base"
