Hundreds of times during the sum

Invariably the umpire replies that

why the causes for objection are not
aired to greater extent. Often the
umpire is forced to give player

to do with making such hit In the
last half of the ninth inning or any

Chicago White SoX are playing the
New York Giants in the world series.
The two teams go ruuless for eight

have been asked to decide at least
fifty disputes which involved the very
same point of rule. Usually it was
possible to present convincing argu-
ments for both sides.
The rules committee in the recent
session at Chicago l think, did it's
work in a thorough manner. Many
questions, which for years have been
a source of argument. have been
cleared up. II will now be possible
to go to the rule book and get a def
mite decision on 10, of things that
was heretofore impossible. In some
cases the rules contiicted. In other
cases, no rule definitely covered the
situation. In certain situations the
rules committee have changed en-
tirely the ruling. In most instances
they have acted wisely. shall at
ball just what was done at Chicago
and demonstrate the application of
some of the changes.
One of the most sweeping changes
relates to balls hit over the fence or
into a stand the proper distance from
the home plate. In the past if bats
man hit over the fence or into the
stands. it was necessary for the UNI
pire to follow the course of that ball
until it disappeared. II Babe Ruth
hit a ball over the right field wall at
the White SoX park. which would
clear the bleacher stands as well as
the wall. it would be up to the umpire
to watch that ball until it passed
from his view. If when it cleared
the wall. the boundary line of the
playing field. it was fifty feet fair.
aud then kept veering toward the
foul line until as it passed from view
IT was three feet foul the umpire
would have to rule it a foul ball. The
ruleS committee took a sensible stand
when il decided that jurisdiction over
the hit ceases the moment it passed
outside the field. The new rule is
specific and reads:
When a batted ball passes out
side the ground or into the stand.
the umpire shall decide it fair, or
foul according to where it passes
