Suggestion by Harvard
Coach, if Adopted, Would
Revolutionize the Game
of Baseball in Many Re
spects.
SHORTEN DISTANCE
TO THE FIRST BASE
First and Third Basemen
Could Play Closer to the
Plate-Proposal Includes
Reduction in the Size of
the Home Plate.

New York. Jan. 9.--While there is
little, if any, possibility of read
justment of the professional baseball
diamond as recently suggested by
President Percy ID. Haughton, of the
Boston National League club, the pro-
posed changes, as outlined by the
Harvard football coach, offer a wide
field for speculation as to what would
be the result if such alterations were
made. At the present time the dia-
mond proper is in reality a square
measuring 30 feet to side.
The bases are considered to be 30
feet apart and the distance from the
feet Sss inches. The pitchers slab
is not exactly half way between the
two points but is located 60 feet s
inches from the plate and &C feet 33s
inches from second base. Haughton
suggests that in order to equalize the
offensive and defensive strength of the
pitcher and batter it might be found
advisable. upon investigation, to move
first and third bases five feet nearer
the home plate and decrease the width
of the plate.
CHANGE ENTIRE ASPECT.
II this were done it would change
the entire aspect of the baseball dia-
mond which would become, roughly.
kite shaped. AS it is especially stipu-
lated that second base is not to be-
moved the result would be that the
distance from home plate to either
first or third base would be IS feet
and the distance from first to second
and from second to third base approx
imately 90 feet. These figures are
based upon the angles Of the base lines
and do not take into consideration the
base bag proper, which is Is inches
square and considerably shortens the
distance to be covered by the base run
ner who is, of course, safe as soon
as he touches the bag.
It would shorten the distance that
the batter would have to run in order
to be safe after a hit and for the run
ner attempting to score from third The
regular playing positions of the in
fielders, i'll all probability would be
shifted as there would be an additional
10 feet of fair field to be covered by
the four players, The first and third
basemen would be enabled to play
closer to the plate for a bunt but al
the same time he batter would have
five feet less to run in order to reach
first safely. The pitcher would be
able to watch runners on first and
third more closely as these bases WOULD
be a trifle in front of him instead Of

at right angles as they are at pres
emit.
NO CHANGE SINCE 1s45.
There has been no change in the
shape or measurements of the base
ball diamond since 1S45 when the
rules were made to read that the dis
lance between first and third bases
and home plate and second base must
be 40 PAGES. There has been consd-
cradle discussion as to just that
PAGES" meant but the generally ac-
eepted inference Is that pace" is
equivalent to yard. In order TO
clear away all doubt the rules were
changed in 1855 TO read that the dia-
mond must be a square every side Of
which measured 90 feet.
Decreasing the width or the home
plate would naturally give the pitcher
less leeway for the manipulation Of his
curves and shoot. AT the present time
the plate is IT inches wide and IL two
or three inches were clipped from the
white rubber the hurler would have
to come nearer growing the ball in
order TO register Il called strike and
the batter would have less area to
protect while waiting for a ball thai
suited his idea of what he could hit
safely.
Changes In tho size and form Of the
home plate have heen more frequent
than alterations TO the playing dia-
mond. For some years previous te
1900 the plate was 12=inch square SC
that one angle pointed directly at the
pitcher and the greatest width was
II inches from the points that would
be represented by first and third
bases on the larger diamond. In 1906
the square plate was discarded for 6
five sided plate measuring II inches
across the base; So inches on The
| sides and ~ inches on the two an
giles THAT form the point which still
faces the pitcher as he delivers tn,
