DEAD BALL RULE DEAD.

The dead ball rule. which underwent
a change at the beginning of the 1920
baseball season, has been changed back
to its old status and is now the same
as 1t was before the rule was changed.
The rule. as it formerly read before
II was changed was to the effect that
when u batter lodged a pitched ball,
and 1t struck his bat, it was strike
II 1t went foul and a fair bail II the
ball landed in fair territory, When the
rule was changed it read to the effect
that any pitch that struck the bat
ter's bat as he was making an effort
to dodge 1t was dead ball. and should
be so called by the umpire.
But the rule has been changed back
to its old status, and the ball goes for
whatever 1t is worth from now on.
