DIAMOND RULES
now GOOD AS
POSSIBLE

Despite agitation by James Gould.
president Of the Baseball Writers
Association, and other writer's for
an, entire overhauling Of the base
bali rules, it is unlikely that the
rules will be changed this winter.
according to John Heydler, presi-
dent OF the National League.
"It may be advisable to change
the wording Of few Of the rules,
but / do not see the necessity for
rewriting the entire rule book, said
Heydler. "A few Of the rules are
ambiguous, but on the while think
our present rule book Is satisfac-
tory.
.sTo rewrite the entire rules It
would be necessary for a commute
of owners, managers, writers and
umpires to seclude themselves for
e. week or more and devote all Of
their time, to this work. It, would
be hard to get ten to fifteen men
to devote all this time to rewrite
the rule book.
Heydler is in favor Of one drastic
change in the rules. He favors the
return Of the rule where the umpire
shall call a game after a specific
period. He wants to avoid a repiti-
ton of the case In Pittsburgh last
summer when the, umpires waited
an hour and half before resuming
a Giant-Pirate gamc after rain had
