HOW Now Rulsa are Working

The new rules are not working out
well. Jack Heydler has asked Ban John
son 10 wipe out the rule governing the
dead ball. on the grounds that 1t is not
important enough 10 make up for the
arguments and protests that follow
each decision that the ball hit the bat
accidentally.
The reason for the failure OF the rule
is that the players cheated II or tried
10, by practicing dropping the bat in
front OF pitched balls or pokinE II in
front OF the ball while pretending 10
dodge.
The freak pitching rule is working
out fairly well. although the chief re-
suit has been TO place premium on
, the fellow who is keen enough TO escape
getting caught. Now Mr.. Heydler pro
poses sewing up all the pockets in the
uniforms to prevent pitchers from car
ryIug foreign substances to apply 10 the
surface of the ball. AS hint 10 jumps
saw a handkerchief belonging TO a
certain pitcher since the season started
which looked very innocent until
, touched. That pitcher could stop. wipe
his persp!ring brow, and get two fingers
full OF dope that no Jump could detect
with L microscope
