The National League ruled that
henceforth only persons in players
uniforms will be allowed inside the
field Enclosure after the game has
started.
The American League has decided
to number all of its players.
National League leaders heard
their president, John A. Heydler,
say that the league established an
attendance record last year. A total
Of 100000 saw games Of the league.
This was an increase of 100000 over
1929, and of 10000 over the ban
ner year, 1927
The league leaders talked a lot
about the lively ball, about screen
ing off easy sites for potential home
runs, and about coming certain base
hits. No definite stand was taken
but one may be taken today.
The big development OF today
surrounded the committee meeting
over the draft. Baseball men are
convinced that there will be a
happy settlement and that the
minors will get most of the things
they want such as an increase in
the draft price and a major league
hands off policy as regards college
and sandlot players.

State Colleges Will Clear
Up Athletic Rules Saturday

sitions in Indiana colleges and the
Saturday meeting will afford these
men opportunities to bring up rules
over which they are in doubt.
One of the most important rules
in the book and one which recently
came up for discussion, is Rule Z,
covering athletic competition outside
of college. In the book it appears:
SUMMER BASEBALL-"A student shall
be ineligible to represent his college in
athletic contests who engages in such
contests as a representative of any athletic
organization not Connected with his college
whether in term time OF vacation. "Oc-
casiona1 games during vacation on teams
not professional or semi-professional. and
having no permanent organization. are not
prohibited. provided no gate money is
The above rule recently came in
for much debate when it was
charged that Butler university ath-
letes were playing in Sunday school
and industrial basketball leagues.
A meeting of the officers Of the
conference considered the protests
and also heard charges that many
schools have athletes playing Sun
day school league basketball and
other such sports during their fresh
men year especially. Net result was
that the title summer baseball"
was labeled confusing and mislead-
ing and did not cover the question
fully.
1t seems the spirit of the organ
ization is to prohibit athletes who
attend college from playing with any
0 u t S d athletic organization,
amateur, Sunday school, industrial
or whatever it may be. The rule
covering summer baseball was
merely written into the rules to give
athletes ON summer vacation an
opportunity to engage in amateur
baseball and discourage them from
doing SO under assumed names.
