RIOT ACT READ
BALLPLAYERS
Taxis, Late Hours, Intoxi-
cation Among Many
Things Barred.

New York, March 13.-Laxity Of
dealing with ball players in the
matters of department and privi-
leges, both at home and on the road,
is passe, so far as the National
League is concerned. Acting in con-
formity with a provision in players
contracts which permits club own
ers to establish reasonable rules for
the governing of its players, the
National League has drawn up a
new set of regulations that are
revolutionary in character.
In the main they represent a cur
tailment Of privileges and an insis-
tence upon strict adherence to rules.
The subject came up at the Nation
al League meeting in February, and
a committee was appointed at that
time to draft the regulations. They
were announced yesterday by John
A. Heydler, the league secretary.
Here are some Of the rules:
All players must hereafter take
care of their own baggage in get
ting to and from a depot and their
homes.
No taxicab fare will be allowed
in visiting cities. The club will at
tend to all baggage between the
depots and the hotel baggage rooms,
but on no other occasions.
Each player will be allowed So
per day for meals in cities where
the club stops at hotels on the
European plan. Meal money on
trains will be allowed at the rate
Of S1.25 per individual meal
While abroad all players will be
required to report at the hotel Sc
lected at whatever time the man.
ager decides, and they must settle
for all personal accounts before
leaving the hotel.
Use of intoxicating liquors or
cigarettes to excess during the
training or playing season is for
hidden, and the question as to
whether a man is drinking or smok-
ing to excess is to be determined by
the manager of the club and no one
else. This rule will not apply to
players who have supplemental
contracts providing for their total
abstinence.
Gross misbehavior in public, in
cluding intoxication, fighting, quar-
reling and indecency, whether on
or on the playing field during the
season, will be punishable by a
fine or suspension, or both.
violation OF any rule, in fact,
must be met with either a fine or
suspension. The club has no other
alternative provided the players
guilt is proved. When a player is
fined by the president of the league
for using indecent language during
a ball game the fine must be paid
by the player. not the club.

Nationals fans should not worry
any as to whether Joe Judge will
be able to hold down his job at the
first cushion this season. as the
Vermont mountaineer is coming
along so rapidly that Trainer Martin
has prescribed but one practice a
day for him until Foxy Griff
arrives to take charge.
Although Joe favors his left ankle

that with a few more days work he
will be ready.
The pitchers are coming along in
such a rapid stride that Uncle Nick
Altrock intends to give them all a
chance tomorrow to put little OF
the zip on the pill. Each will be
given a few minutes work in the
first batting practice, which will be
held, but nothing but fast Sails will
be used.
The three catchers here and Joe
Judge greeted this announcement
with a round OF applause in the club
house today as each is anxious to take
a real crack at the bali.
Jim Shaw came in for a great
amount of joshing as a result of
bonus which he worked for last sea-
son. Shaw was to have received a
pretty good slice of coin if he won
fifteen games during the 1911 season.
It seems that in some way the aver
age handed out at the end of the sea-
son had Shaw winning but fourteen,
while the pitcher believed that he had
won the required number. The Old
Fox compelled Shaw to wait until the
Official averages were printed before
he would pay OF, but when Ban b.
Johnson handed out the nBureS ne TOO
had Shaw winning but fourteen.
This started something for Jimmy
and after digging through all the
records he discovered that some Off
cial scorer in Boston had failed to
credit him with a game he pitched
there. The Old Fox still held back
and Jimmy Immediately got in touch
with the American League office in
Chicago. Jim was peeyed and what
he called Ban B. and his stan would
not look good in print.
An investigation proved that Shaw
was right and the Nationals pilot was
notified to pay of This was the joke
on Shaw. as Griff and most Of the
players on the team knew all along
that he had the bonus coming to him.
and the lid Fox just held back to get
the Pittsburgh stogie sore.

the front in little Penn's" training
program. and in an effort to promote
this particular phase of soldiers train

tiers and within a short time actual
work on this amphitheater will be un-
