FIRST REVISION OF RULES
WAS ATTEMPTED 81 YEARS AGO
1t was 81 years ago today. January
%. 1857. that the first meeting Of
baseball players to attempt 4 revision
of the playing rules was held in New
York The original code was adopted
in 1S45, and. although numerous
changes were suggested. few were
adopted, and the rules remained prac-
tically the same on all important
points. Some of the provisions OF this
code would seem very strange today
The baserunner was not allowed to
leave the bag after 4 fly until the
ball had been returned to the pitcher
and had once been pitched to the bat
Efforts to change this rule were made
at the 1857 meeting. but the change
as not adopted until two years later.
Balls were not called on the twirler
until 1868. although from the infancy
Of the game the batters were pen
allied for not striking at fair balls.
At first IT was only necessary for a
baserunner TO 20 near the bases but
rule was adopted making it neces-
sary to touch the bag.

Coal is needed now more than ever
before. It Is absolutely essential 10
our war program. Without coal. the
manufacture Of munitions would fail,
ships could not be built, snd those in
the waters could not steam across the
Atlsntic. And We are shipping coal
abroad where IL Is needed even more
than we need it
War plants are consuming two and
three times the coal those same plants
used in peace industries. They must
not be halted. They should be speed
ed up.
Railroads will not be able TO haul
al the coal needed for industrial and
domestic use II that coal Is all left at
the mines until needed. That Is why
every householder should get his coal
now. lie should have ordered it last
spring lie should have stored IL away
last summer. He should not walt an
other day.
There is imperative need for quick
