NEW BASE BALL RULES
Several Changes When Will Be Made in the 1899 Rule Book.
.
At the annual meeting of the National League directors, the following changes in the base ball rules for 1800 were made:
The rule relating to the position of the catcher was passed without a dissenting vote. This rule prevents a catcher from playing outside of the lines of his position in order to field bunted balls.
Rule 19, relating to team uniforms, was changed so as to provide that any player who appears on the field in a uniform which differs from those of his fellow players shall not be permitted to take part in a game.
Rule 20, section 1, relating to benches for players, was changed so as to provide that each club must furnish players' benches placed upon a portion of the ground not less than twenty-five feet outside of the players' lines. The benches must be covered and closed at the back. This rule was changed with the idea of preventing the spectators from talking to the players and vice versa. The rule also provides that no person other than the manager and players shall be allowed on the bench. The rule also provides that all players, other than those assigned to the coaching line, or at the bat must remain seated. For violations of the rule a section is inserted in the rules by which the ampire may fine a player who violates it. The rule will also have the effect of keeping the president of a team off the field and bench.
Rule 23, defining a balk has been materially changed. There are eight sections to the rule, as follows:
1. Any motion made by the pitcher to deliver the ball to the bat or to a base without delivering it.
2. Throwing by the pitcher of the ball to any base to catch the baserunner without first stepping directly toward the said base, immediately before throwing the ball.
3. Any delivery of the ball to the bat by the pitcher while his pivot foot is not in contact with the pitcher's plate, and be is not facing the batsman, as defined in rule 29.
5. The holding of the ball by the pitcher so long as in the opinion of the ampire to delay the game unnecessarily.
6. Standing in the position and making any motion to pitch without having possession of the ball.
7. The making of any motion the pitcher habitually makes in his method of delivery of the ball to the bat
8. If the pitcher delivers the ball to the bat when the catcher is standing outside the lines of the catcher's position as defined in rule 7.
It is provided that if the pitcher violates any of these sections the umpire must call a "ball."
The proposed amendment to rule 42 was the one that Boston fought. The proposed rule provided that any ball hit over a fence should entitle the batsman to a home run, except where the fence is within 285 feet of the home base. In case the fence was within the prescribed distance, the batsman should only be entitled to two bases. The rule was wiped out and the Boston players are at liberty to keep on soaking runs over their left and right field fences and have them count as home runs.
Rule 52 was changed so as to provide that any coach who by word or sign ties to incite the spectators, or who addresses remarks to any person except the base-runner, shall be find $5 by the umpire. If, then the coacher does not desist, he shall be removed from the game.
The new rule relating to the power of the umpire in a game was passed. By it the umpire is now the entire master of the play.
Rule or fixing penalties for violations of the rules provides that the penalties for the first offense shall be a fine of $5. For a repetition, the player should be removed from the game and a report made to the president of the league. The president may suspend him from further participation. The rule also provides that an umpire, within twelve hours after removing a player from a game or from the grounds, must make a report to the president of the league. If the case is a flagrant one, however, the rules say that the umpire must notify the president of the league by telegraph within twelve hours.
