New Baseball Rules.

In Spaulding's 1920 official baseball
guide, can be found the new amend
ments to the baseball rules which tell
what the pitcher must not do.
He must not rub the ball in the
SOIL
He must not discolor it with licor-
ice, paraffin, or other foreign sub
Stance.
He must not expectOrate upon it.
He must not roughen the surface
with sandpaper, emery paper, or other
hard substance. He will not even be
permitted to bound it to an infielder,
in order that the cover may be slight
ly abraided.
No other player is permitted to
commit any of the above offenses and
then toss the ball to the pitcher for
delivery It the pitcher delivers the
ball to the batter after this is done,
he is arbitrarily suspended TO 10 days
The correct position for the pitcher
to assume when he receives the ball
for delivery is to stand on the plate
holding it in front of him with both
hands, He cannot take either hand
from the ball unless he is intending
to throw it to the first base or deliver
it to the batter.
If he drops the ball in the act of
delivering it to the batter it is balk.
This latter now makes the balk rule
uniform in both major leagues It
had not been SO previously.

can buy them cheap, but If everyone
is clamoring for tomatoes and there
are few to be had. the price goes up.
The same is true of Liberty Bonds
Short-sighted people are dumping
them on the market, and wise ones
are buying them.
The best advice that can be given
to the owner of a Liberty Bond is
this: Hold the bond you bought dur
ing the war; it is as safe and sound as
the United States government itself.
Buy as many more at the present
low rate as you can afford. II you
hold them to maturity, you are bound
to make the difference between what
they sell at now and their face value.
You will also receive good interest on
your investment. Hold on to your
Liberty Bonds and buy more.

The Committee of 4S is national
movement which annDunces itself as
an attempt to 'sunite the liberals of
America for effective political in
fiuence." Literature recently sent out
from their national headquarters in
New York proposes the formation of
new liberal party to be launched at
an approaching national convention
of the organization in Chicago, early
in July.
There has been considerable specu-
