BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
BY BILLY EVANS.

I doubt if anything in base ball is
more overdone than the practice in
dulged in by so many batters of step
ping out of the batter's box at the
slightest proyocation. Tedious de-
lays work to the detriment of the
game, and no one practice contributes
more to the many needless delays
that come up than the constant step
ping out of the box on the part of the
batter. The practice gets on my
nerves, and 1 know it must have a
like effect on the spectator. Base
ball thrives on action, and delays tend
to kill action, hence should be elilni-
mated wherever possible.
It might be impossible to enforce
1t, yet it wouldn't be a bad idea 10
have rule which stated that the
batsman after getting into the bat
ter's box, must remain there, unless
the umpire susnends play. / recall
one game last summer where a bat
ter stepped out of the box four times
before ball was pitched to him.
1here was runner on first base and
there was an understanding between
batter and runner as to what was on.
The runner on first was a fast man.
always able to get a big lead, so the
pitcher drove him back TO first three
times on throws trying to catch him
mapping. The batsman in the batter's
box became annoyed at the failure of
the pitcher to deliver the bali, and.
believing his chances to hit the ball
had been weakened by the long delay
caused by the throwing to first, asked
that time be called, stepped out of
the box, walked around in a circle
and then stepped back in.
Looking toward first base the pitch
er noted the runner still insisted on
getting his big lead. He threw over
five more times and, although he
failed to get the runner. he made him
slide back into the base each time
and undoubtedly tended to tire him.
While being driven back to first base
the runner was unable to give the
batter any attention. The batsman.

PROPOSALS.
NAVY MAY PLAY CUBANS.

ANNAPOLIS, February 18--For the
irst time in it's athletic history, the
Naval Academy is likely to engage in
an international contest against an
other institution, a base ball game
between the Midshipmcn and the nine
OF the University of Havana being
most likely. The management of the
latter has written asking for a date
late in April or early in May. and the
academy has gladly acquiesced.
Harold Waters. an Iowan. has been

eny basket ball team for the coming

was too tired to 20 through with the
original play, stepped out of the bat
ter's boz as the pitcher threw to
first for the fifth time, so that he
might fix up a new deal with the
runner, if such was desired The
throwing to first base so many times
had in a way thrown the pitcher off
his stride. After the batsman had
again stepped into the box, ready to
resume, the pitcher took so much time
getting on the rubber that the bats
man again stepped out Just when it
seemed things were once more set for
action, a breeze that was sweeping
the field caused SO much dust in the
neighborhood of the batter's box that
both catcher and batter requested
that play be suspended.
While this case is a trif7e unusual
yet similar happenings come up time
and again during the summer. ! will
wager that at least five minutes were
consumed by the pitcher throwing to
first and the batter stepping out of
the box. without Il ball having been
pitched. This is all wrong in a way,
but whether such incidents can be
corrected without destroying the
rights of some one concerned there is
a doubt. Perhaps it would be ask
ing too much TO compel the batsman
to remain in the box ready to hit,
when the pitcher was ready to pitch,
yet that is one way in which the de-
lay might be curtaiied. 1T would be
Impossible to limit the pitcher TO the
number of times he could throw to
first base. because the moment he had
reached his limitations, the base run
ner would be able to take liberties,
knowing there was no danger that he
would be caught mapping.
The umpires could hasten things If

box without having the pitcher deiiv-
er the ball, even though he was out
of the box, in no position to hit it.
he would be more careful as to his
attitude.

DISPUTE DELAYS
ISSUE OF DRAFT

Publication Of the revised league Of
nations covenant may be delayed be-
cause Of the italian crisis, State De-
partment officials said yesterday.
The complete text OF the covenant
has arrived here and stenographers
at the State Department were busy
behind locked doors, making copies
for the press. But officials said they
were completely in the dark as to
when Il would be released
They doubted IL It would come be-
fore next week. II Is assumed by the
State Department that plans have
been upset by Italy's Threatened
withdrawal from the Paris confer
ence.
Indications are that the peace treaty
proper. or at least major portions o.
it, have also been secretly cabied &C
Washington and are being prepared
for release to the public. State Depart
ment officials said they expect that
the treaty text and league covenant
will be made public at the same time,
but they refused to say definitely
whether the treaty has arrived com
plete.
1t Is possible that all technical pro-
visions have been received, awaiting
last-minute changes.
