Five innings on each side had to be
played before the game could be legal.
Despite the fact that the last half Of
the fifth inning might be wholly unnec-
essary, II had to be gone through with.
and there are some old fellows living
now who can remember, perhaps, when
the spectators selemnly sat through the
last half Of the fifth inning when the
team at bat already had the game won,
because rve innings made game and
there was no stopping.
When the rule first went into effect
that the last half OF the fifth need not
be played if the team last at bat was
ahead when IL was time to start the
last half of the fifth, there was a neal
riot here and there where the specta
tors insisted on getting their moneys
worth, and the full five innings, before
they would leave the ground.
Now, II 1t looks as if the home team
has the game worr>in the eighth inning
the crowd will begin to leave the park
and not wait for the last act of the
show. so confident are most of the fans
that they can read a game Alright when
it is as far along as the eighth. Many
Is the time that they are fooled be-
cause no ball game is over until the
ninth inning is played, and more than
once the ninth inning, even in these
days of perfected and refined base ball
happens to be the best inning Of the
contest.
If rain was falling no match game
could begin and If rain fell five minutes
no match could continue. Sometimes In
this modern age all nine innings may be
played In rain. IL it Is little misty in
the first inning the umpires start the
game to save the gate, and once rain
has begun to fall most Of the umpires
are afraid TO stop a contest for fear
that they will get in Dutch" with the
home crowd on one side, and the visit
ing team on the other, if the visitors
happen to be ahead.
The umpire had to be Judge Of the
bat, the ball. the conduct of the
players: had to declare the winning
club, and before he left the ground
was compelled to sign the score

NATIONAL LEAGUE AIMS
A BLOW AT GAMBLING

NEW YORK. February 4.-Or-
ganized base ball took definite
step today to curtaff the evil of
gambling within it's ball parks
when the National Leagu adopted
resolution, introduced by Judge
Emil f.. Fuchs. vice president of
the Boston club, requesting Iegis-
IatiOn making such m offensc
punishable by n prison term.
The resolution asks each club
owner to submit to a legislator In
his State draft of Il law which
would make second offenders liable
TO prison sentence, and TO employ
every means possible to bring
about the adoption of the law by
the various States in which major
league base ball Is played. First
offenders now are punishable by
a fine, but the club owners think
n prison term for n second ofYense
will stamp out the gambling evil.

book to show that ne had been there
and also to show which team had
won. In the year following these
rules, as the position of umpire be-
came one OF less respect from the
populace and more comment from
the professional jokesters, the lot of
the judge of play was so unhappy
time and again that he would have
no opportunity to sign a book after
the game was over. His popularity
frequently waned to such an extent
that he had to bolt for the nearest
fence and keep going as fast as he
could until his supply of fresh oxy-
gen failed him.
Occasionally umpires have been
locked in clubhouses to protect them
from the wrath of the crowds. In
the old times when the umpire stood
forth in his might, or occasionally
sat to one side of home plate under
an umbrella, rendering decisions, the
position was one OF such Importance
and so eagerly coveted that men ran
around the town and tried to get
nominated to act as umpires. There
is little doubt that the professional
funmakers really did have an aston
ishing effect on the fans as they turn
ed their joking pens toward the UNI
pires. The jibes which were written
and the cracks which were made al
the umpire's expense as professional
games became more and more a part
of the life Of the community, reduced
the dignity of the position to q
bagatelle.

ball player from Seattle this winter
in Welch, but that represents all the
assets that have materialized.
Base balII loves gamblers about 5
well as it loves arsenic as was eyi-
denced by the speed with which the
resolution of Judge Emil Fuchs Of
Boston was put through. The judge
thinks-and rightly-that gamblers
| should be punished by law for second
and subsequent offenses.
The resolution pledges the various
National League members to work to
ward enactment of legislation of this
sort in their respective States. This
! of course, means slap at the crowd
that some years ago was suspected
of being implicated in the 1919 world
series fraud, and it also would bear
upon any more recent offenders who
have devoted some of their time to
betting on ball games.
BESIDES adopting schedule
which was pleasing to all parties
concerned, and will be until after the
| first week of postponements begins
to gum things up-the league set
some dates for the fiftieth anniver-
| sary celebration events in the vari-
Gus cities of the circuit. Chicago
and Boston will stage a celebration
at Boston on May s. On the 18th
Cincinnati and the Giants will cele-
,brate in New York. The Giants took
the hoodoo date without batting an
eye. st. Louis will help Philadelphia
celebrate on May Is and the next day
Pittsburgh will be the celebrating
party at Brooklyn.
In the West the first of the dates
| is June 6. with Philadelphia at Pitts
Nv
help Chicago put on a big party
Brooklyn will be at Cincinnati on
June Il, and on the 18th st. Louis
will hold it's celebration with Bos-
tons aid
Each city will get its nice little
golden jubilee pennant and each will
be permitted to work out the cele-
| bration plans according to it's own
ideas.
The league was greatly pleased at
receipt of a message from President
Coolidge congratulating it on being
SO years old and still able to keep
going with all the springhtliness OF
| youth.
! Good news for the umpires They
are to get their added money out OF
the world series and out of city
series, far as the National League
| is concerned The same staff OF
jumps was named, with the addition
of Peter ]. Mclaughlin.
Some measures or more technical
description than anything else were
passed regarding players on waiver.
The decision really means that q,
virtual maximum waiver price of
$4,000 has been established. Even
| that seems too high, because no one
| will pay $4,000, for instance, for
| Fonseca or Caveney of Cincinnati.
Everybody seems to desire youth,
and there isn't enough of IL to spread
over the National League slice OF
bread.
