Stop and think dow many of

You will then realize what a

Harold Wyllie and Walter Odell
both pitched good ball last evening.
The games were in the Y. M. c. A

Some EuIe Reminders.
There seems to be some difficulty In
remembering some of the indoor base
ball rules, especially the following:
& batter is out-if hit by the ball
on third strike: on third strike, If
man is on first and less than two are
out; If not in position one minute
after called to bat by the umpire.
a base runner is out-if he runs
three feet outside the base line, ex-
cept to avoid fielder fielding ball.
A base runner can advance without
being out, one base ON a balk, except
the batter. or one base If fair. hit
ball strikes person or clothing OF the
umpire on fair ground.
a base runner can not advance
while the pitcher holds the ball in the
box, nor until after pitched ball
reaches or passes the catcher.
No run is counted for coming in
on third man forced out or put out
at first base.
