MADE RULES FOR BASEBALL
James A. Hart, Former President of
Chicago Nationals.

James A. Hart, who died in Chi
cago Friday, did much TO elevate base
ball to its present standard. He was
baseball men in the country. Many
rules, now deemed indispensable,
were championed by Hart The foul
strike rule, one of the most import
ant, was his final effort in rule max
ing. He was largely responsible for
the abolition of the foul bound, ue-
fining the coacher's box, changing the
pitchers box and substituting the
slab, altering the shape of the home
plate, requiring the catcher to play
close up to the plate all the time,
abolishing the foul tip and covering
OF the players bench.
He was actively engaged in base
ball for twenty-five years, retiring as
President OF the Chicago Nationals
in 1905 when Charles w. Murphy
took over the club. He was closely
identified with the National League
for sixteen years, entering the league
in 1889, just prior to the Brotherhood
fight in 1890. From 1891 to the time
he retired-almost fifteen years-he
was President of the Cubs, having
succeeded A. G. Spalding, who re-
signed.
Mr.. Hart gave Johnny Evers his
first major league contract Johnny
said today that Hart was enc of the
squarest men that ever lived and all
the players loved him.

MARSHALL FIELD, III.
TO BRING SUIT
VIII Ask Court to Set Aside Some
Provisions Tieing Up Grand
fathers Great Fortune.

Chicago, July 22.-Captain Mar
shall Field, Sd, grandson of the foun
der of the Field fortune. is about to
ask for new and more favorable
court Interpretation of the Field will,
which disposed of an estate valued at
about SIPS, 100000 and yet tied it UP
by intricate, legal means to hold it
together for generation or two.
Captain Fields intention to seek
modification of the drastic terms of
the will became known as his attor-
neys, Miller, Starr, Brown, Packard
& Peckham, were preparing to fife
a length cross-bill this week in the
suit filed in the Superior Court in
February, 1918, to construe the bill
of the late multi-millionaire.
While members of the law firm
would not comment upon the propos-
ed action in advance of the actual
fling of the cross-bill, it is said that
its purpose is twofold.
To obtain complete possession of
the bulk of the estate, which was left
to Marshall Field, Sd, and Henry
Field, the second and younger grand
son. who died in New York on June
II, 1918. Under the will the estate
was to be divided in the proportion
of 60 to 40 between the two sons but
not until they had attained the age
of so years.
To set aside the drastic trusteeship
which the terms of his grandfather's
will provided for and which has prac-
tically limited his benefits to a por-
ton of the income from the estate.
1t is understood that young Mr.
field and his attorneys take the stand
that the action is not intended to
break" the Field will, but simply to
clarity and modify its complicated
terms as the grandson interprets
them, breaking only the clauses
which hold it in trust for so many
years
Elihu Root and John b. Stanchfield
of New York and John S. Miller OF
