 10 PLAYER RULE
Request Of Manager CoonS Is
 Turned Down at Meeting

The managers of the teams en- tered in the New Britain City base ball league rcfused to change the rule made at the beginning of the season limitlng the teams 10 IS play ers, at meeting held last night in Room No. 20l City Hall. The vote Was taken following request made by Manager Clarence Coons of r. & r. Corbins that the lS-player limit rule be abrogated. The question was taken up last week but because there WAS not a full board of managerH present, the matter was laid on the table until last night. All the lnan- ag"rs were present last night and the question was settled after d short debate.
 It was felt that if the 1S-playtr limit rule was wiped off the books, then all the other rules would have to be Winkcd al. It was also felt | that Manager Coons had plenty of l time in which to get together the best team possible and as all the other managers are doing their best with the material they have, they l felt it was only right 10 adhere 10 ! the rules made before the season started.
 The protest registered by Manager Coons and Captain Huber of the. r. E: F. Corbin team over decision by Umpire Malloy in the, eighth inning of last Saturdays game was referred to Judge William F Mangan who is acting as the Judge Landis of the league. Captain Huber claimed that when SinsEi was hit by pitched hall, he made an attempt to strike
 at it and the runner should not have been given his base. Umpire
 Malloy refused 10 grant this saying
 that the batter had started to bunt
 but when the ball came towards him. inc tried to get ont of the way. Judge Mangan will pass o9 the protest.
 The requests for shade on the
 players benches and for the other items contained in a petition which twin be presented 10 the park board,
 have been held up because of the absence of Harry Jackson, chairman
 of the public amusement Commis-
 sion on his vacation, The managers
 will request that the umpires equip themselN es with a rule book at the . games on Saturday afternoon. SO
 that disputes can be settled accord
 ing 10 the rules,
 The managers also made if a rule 10 hanish any player who is caught swearing on the field. There has been a great deal of blasphemy when players have become disgruntled and
 curses and swearing of all descrip-
 tions have been heard from the places on the field. The managers feel that this should he stopped and
 players will he barred from the games when they break this rule, The City league has the privilege of using the diamonds at Walnut Hall park on Monday and Thursday
