more than two spitball pitchers, the number passed upon by the American league. Finally, it was agreed to amend the rule as follows:
 At no time during the passage of the game shall the pitcher be allowed to CD apply a foreign substance of any kind to the ball; CD expectorate either on the ball or his glove: t3) to rub the ball on his glove, person or clothing, or (D to deface the ball in any manner or to deliver what is called the shineball. spitball, mudball or emery ball. For a violation of this rule the pitcher shall be ordered from the game, and be barred from par ticipation in any championship con- test for a period of 10 days.
 To Ban Freak Deliveries
 Tn adopting the foregoing rule against freak deliveries it was under stood and agreed that all bona fide spitball pitchers listed by the club owners and presented to the heads of inc two major leagues prior to the starting of the season should have only the season of 1920 to use the so- called delivery, after which it will not be permitted in the leagues.
 Realizing the importance of recruit ing ball players for the big leagues one of those present presented the ar gument of smaller diamond for boys under 16 years of age. His argument was based upon the fact that boys to- day attempt to play the national game on the regulation diamond and as a re- suit 1t is impossible to develop.
 The committee adopted a rule estab- fishing an official diamond for juniors. The new diamond will be S2 feet be- tween bases and the pitching rubber 50 feet from the plate.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 ADOPTS 154--GAME
 SCHEDULE FUR '2O

CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Peace and har- mony reigned in the ranks of the club owners of the National league at their meeting today. but in an adjoining room at the same hotel American league magnates were unable to finish their business and it was necessary to extend that session into the night.
 National league owners, in addition to adopting a schedule of 154 games foF Iac 1920 season, accepted the new rules agreed upon at meeting or the joint rules committee of the American and National leagues Monday. The rule regarding sPitball pitchers was contested by St. Louis, and instead of limiting each club to two such pitch CTS. as will prevail in the American league this season, it was decided that all clubs will be permitted to play every spitball pitcher now on their roster A list of recognized spitball pitchers was presented and these men will be allowed to use the spitball dur ing the coming championship race:
 Boston-Rudolph, E1llingim. keat- ing.
 St. Lo,iis-Doak Goodwin, Tuero.
 New York-Douglas.
 Brookiyn-MitcheIl. Grimes.
 Philadelphia-Hogg
 Cincinnati-Fisher.
 Chicago-Hendricks
 Pittsburg-None.
 The club owners also decided tc limit the number of players on each team to 25 between May 15 and An gust 31. but after that date and uutil the end of the season each club will be allowed to carry 8 men on the roll The waiver price was raised from $500 to s250O, and the president of the league was given the power to name the waiver price on free agent, but the price will not be over $500.
 Admission prices to the champion ship games was also discussed. but no final action was taken. The magnates also entered into a discussion regard ing a marker or memorial 10 he placed at Cooperstown. x. r., where the frs game of baseball is said to have been played in 1897. Final action was de ferred to President Heydler.

 CHICAGO, Feb. 10.-Numerous rules in the baseball code were thrashed out today at the annual meetings or the rules committee of the National and American leagues Chief among the rules was those relating to the home run, the intentional pass, the balk- the dead ball. and legislation regarding the freak deliveries of pitchers.
 In all. 19 rules were amended anu one added
 The addition to the rules deals with the intentional pass. which declares 1t to be illegal for the catcher to step from his box to aid the pitcher in pitching wide to the batsman This rule as amended and adopted by the rules committee says:
 Catcher Must Retain Position
 Tt shall be illegal for the catcher to leave his natural position imne diateIy and directly back of the plate for the purpose of aiding the pitcher to Intentionally give a base on balls to the ba1sman. If the catcher shall move out Of position prior to the time the ball leaves the pitchers hand all runners who may be on bases shall be entitled to advance one base
 The rule covering the home run says that when a player knocks the ball into the stands or the croWus on 1alr ground he shall be given credit for a home run if he completes the circuit and all runners shall score ahead of him. In passing this rule. the com mitnee argued it would increase the number of home runs a season and also work to the batter's advantage. The rule as amended says:
 Provided that if a batsman in the Ia st half of the final inning of any game hits d home run over the fence or. into the stand, all runners on the bases at the time, as well as the bats man. shall be entitled to score, and in such event the final score of the game shall be the total number of runs made"

Schalk talks to his customers he has ideas. If they are not in the field to buy or sell their article, Schalk sells them an idea.
 Salesmanship is an art just the same as handling the shoots of Eddie Cicotte or any of the other Sox stars. In the good old summer time Ray is out there back of the home plate shooting lot of wild conversation at the enemy or trying to bull the pie ture along. He is veTitable chatter box then.

19 Former Rules Amended and One New One Added at Joint Meeting of Rules Committee of American and National Circuits Yesterday
Drastic Change in Scoring RuI.

 In explaining this rule. President Heydler of the National league said:
 If the score should be nothing to nothing in the final half on the ninth inning and the bases were all occu- pied, and the batsrnan knocked a ball and the final score would be four to nothing
 The amendment dealing with the "balk" reads:
 Any motion to pitch while standing in his position without having the ball in his preseason; or. regardless of whether he makes any motion to pitch or not, if the pitcher takes a legal position on the rubber without the ball in his possession or if he takes pitching position off the rubber and feints to deliver the ball to the bat, it shall be called sbalk.'"
 Several additions are also added to this rule. one of which declared that the ball shall be declared a dead ball and no play can be made until the runner or runners reach the base or bases they are entitled to-.
 Define Dead" Ball
 In dealing with the ~dead~ ball, the code was amended to read:
 "1 A dead hall is a ball delivered to the bat by the pitcher, not struck at by the batsman that touches any part of the batsnan's person or cloth ing while he is standing in his posi- ton, or CD a wildly pitched ball which the batsman plainly makes an attempt to dodge to avoid being hit, but which ball accidentally hits his bat
 The fight on the freak deliveries oc- cupied the greater part of the meet ing. The board of directors of the American league adopted rule which legslates such deliveries from the league after the season of 1920. When the rules committee took up this rule. the National league members declared they thought some clubs would have

The moment the season ends the peppery little backstop, who helps the Sox win many a game with his head work back of the bat, jumps from his baseball togs into his business suit and never let's go his interest in affairs of the business world until it's time to go on the training trip.

CHAPTER n.

To any young man his first flirta-
tion with literature is a heart-rend-
ing affair, although the jade takes
II lightly enough.
But that muse Is a frivolous
youngster and plaques her young
lovers to the verge OF distraction.
And no matter how serious a new
aspirant may be or how determined
to remain free from self-conscious-
ness. refrain from traditional men
tai attitudes and censor every i'm
pulse toward "fine writing" his
frivolous muse beguiles him and
flatters him, and leads him on until
he has succumbed to every deadly
scribbler's sin in his riotous prog
ress OF a literary rake.
The only hope for him is that his
muse may some day take enough
interest in him TO mangle his feel
ings and eNterminate his adjectives.
Every morning Jim remained for
hours hunched up at his table, fond
ling his first-born novel. The pc
riod OF weaving was narrowing. Joy,
confidence, pride, excitement, mo-
ments OF mental intoxication. were
succeeded by every species OF self
distrust. alarm, funk, slump. and
most horrid depression.
One day he felt himself to be
easily master of the English lam
guage: another day he feared that
public school examination would
reveal him as a hopeless illiterate.
Like all beginners. he had swallow
ed the axiom that genius worked
only when it had a few moments to
spare from other divisions; and he
tried II out. The proposition proved
to be a self-evident fake.
1t was to his own credit that he
finally discovered that inspiration
comes with preparedness; that the
proper place far creative inspiration
was a seat at his desk with pencil
and pad before him; that the plea
sure OF self-expression must be-
come a habit as well as pleasure,
and not an occasional caprice to
be casually gratified; and that tech
nical excellence is acquired at the
daily workbench alone, and not
among the takers of talk.
So the boy began TO form his
habit of work; discovered that soon
er or later a receptive mind re-
suited; realized that Inspiration
came when preparations for its
reception had been made. gradually
got over his earlier beliefes in non
sence talked about genius and the
commercializing of the same. And
so he ceased getting out of bed to
record a precious thought, and re-
Trained from sitting up until two
in the morning to scribble. He
plugged ahead as long as he could
stand it; and late in the afternoon
he went out to hunt for relaxation,
which, except for the creative, is
the only other species of true
pleasure.
Except for their conveniences to
lavatories and bars, there are very
few clubs in New York worth be-
longing to-, and only one to which
it is an honor to belong.
