RULES GHANGED Several Changes Made bly Joint Committee of American and ' National Officers—Scoring Rules Advised by Writers’ Association Adopted—Other Minor Changes. New York, Feb. 12.—Several changes in the playing rules of baseball were made by the joint committee of the major league rules commitices at a meeting held today in the offices of the National league here. The meet- ing was attended by Johnson of the American league, John F President Ban | A. Heydler, secretary of the National | league, and John B. Foster, secretary of the New York club. The most impertant change in the rules was to forbid a coacher from | stopping a runner with his hands or | obstructing him in any way. This change was embodied in a new section, which will be known as sec- tion 17, rule 56, of the playing rules. It reads as follows: “If a coacher at third base touches or holds a base runner who is round- ing third base for the home plate, the umpire shali declare such base runner out, Another change in the rules govern- ing coaching permits the coacher ver- bally to encourage the batsman as runner. The rules neretofore only permitted the coacher to_encourage the base runner, If a thrown ball hits the umpire, the batsman shall be allowed to run as far as he can. Formerly this applied only when an umpire was hit by a If a player stops a thrown ball with any portion of his uniform, or by throwing a glove, the base runner shal take two bases. ' This was an amend- ment to the rule which batsman to take three bases when a ‘all was caught by a cap or after a glove was thrown at it. | { 1 When a ball hits an umpire, after it gets away from a flelder, the base run- ner is entitled to as many bases as he can get. This is an amendment to the rule which sends base runners bdck when the ball hits the umpire. The pitching rules were amended to allow the pitcher to stand on the twirling slab. Heretofore the rules compelied the pitcher to stand behind the slab, but the rule was mot always observed. The National league agreed to take the American league’s interpretation of the infleld fly rule. A base runner | hereafter will not be permitted to run on an infield iy. The American league agreed to take the National league's interpretation of the balk rule calling Dball. Nothing was done in the way of eliminating the intentional pass, as Ban Johnson believed that no restric- tions could possibly be put on the play. The scoring rules as advised by the Baseball Writers’ association were all adopted. BROOKLYN LANDED BY THE FEDERALS. Ten Year Lease on Old Brooklyn Club Grounds—Eight Team Circuit. New York, Feb. 13—President James A. Gilmore fonight announced that the Federal league had invaded Brooklyn and by the middle of April would have a first ciass club stationed there with playing grounds on the site of the Brooklyn club’s old quarters at Wash- ington park, Third street and Fourth avenue, South Brooklyn. A ten year lease of the grounds,with for a balk on the pitcher dropping the | permitted a | | i | four years, and for aftfixing his signa- NORWICH BULLETIN, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1\% 1914 the option of buying the site outright. has been secured. Concrete and steei stands to accommodate 18,000 persons are to be erected, the Kederal leader announced, and the contractors have guaranteed to have evervthing com- pleted in time for the opening of the Dlaying season during the third week of April, He The progress so far made by the Tederal league, President Gilmore stated, indicated that the circuit would | consist of eight clubs, located in Chi- cago, St. Louls, Kansas City, Indian- apolis, Haltimore, Pittsburgh, Buffalo and Brooklyn. | The schedule meeting of the league will be held in Baltimore three weels hence,” when dates for 154 games will Dbe allotted for the season, which will begin April 15 or 18. « President Gilmore stated: “The financial standing of the Fed- eral league enables it to be indepen- dent of organized baseball, and should | the tlme come when it desires to enter | organized baseball the Federal league | | will do so on its own terms. We have advanced $178,000 in cash on account of players’ salaries, but have not given | a dollar in bonuses. EVERS WITH BOSTON. Signed Contract for Four Years—Sal- | ary of $10,000 a_Year With Bonus. New York, Feb. 13—That Johnny Evers, erstwhile manager and_ second baseman of the Chicago National league baseball club, will play with the | Boston Nationals during the coming season was made certain here today. The National league, having assumed all obligations of the Chicago club's two eontracts with Fvers, sold the player to President Gaffney. Evers is to receive $10,000 a year for | ture to a contract with Boston he was | given a generous bonus, reported to be | 320,000, by President Gaffney. In ad- | dition to this, an agreement was drawn up between Evers and the Boston club for a further payment of $2,000 to Evers should the Braves win the pen- nant. If they finish second $1,500 will Dbe given him, and he will receive $1,000 if the team fills third position at the close of the season. Collins Unsigned. Boston, Feb. 13.—Ray Collins of Bur- lington, Vt., left handed pitcher for the Boston Americans for the past five vears, has not yet signed for the com- ing season. His request for an in- crease in salary in addition to that in his contract for 1914, which he re- turned unsigned, was refused today by Vice President John I Taylor. ‘“Col lins will not get a cent more than !\e: has been offered. He may sign or mot | play, as he pleases,” said Taylor. i Except Tris Speaker., who is with the world baseball tourists, Collins is the only reserved player unsigned by the Red Sox. Rexalls Defeated Jewett City. The Rexalls came back at Jewett | City in Dayville last Thursday night and defeated them 44 to 11. The game | was fast and_ one-sided and Dayville had things their own way. Jewett City had Coyle of the Laurell Hili team, but he did not put up his msual game. Bennett, Dayville's new man, FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL A COLORLESS MARKET. Pressure Against New Haven and Oth- er lIsgues Ineffective. New York, Feb. 13.—There was little by which today’s stock market could be distinguished from the colorles: sessions which preceded it this weel The undertone was distinctly firm, but only a comparatively few stocks made gains of a point or more. The ten- dency upward was challenged at in- tervals by pressure against particular issues, such as New Haven, New York Central and the Rock Islands, but the effect was short lived and at the end of the day there was a small im- provement. London again played an important part in this market, and such headway as was made was due largely to the foreikn influence. The higher prices for American stocks sent over from the English market were accepted her at the opening, there being a corres- ponding rise in the carly transactions. London came into the market for stock, faking perhaps 20,000 shares. The supply of stocks was not large, and the market responded readily to buying. It was evident that a short interest of fairly large proportions had been built up recently. There was no widespread inclination, however, to attack the bear position, and the rank and file of professional traders appar- ently favored the short side. Strength of Steel. in response to its steady absorption, gaye tone to the in- Qustrials, which relatively made a bet- ter showing than the railroad stock: Advances in this part of the list were influenced by accumulating evidences of improving business conditions. While the movement of railroad shares is dependent upon the decision of the interstate commerce commission In the freight rates case, there is mo corresponding restraint on the indus- trials, which have shown a tendency at times of late to break away from the general market and move inde- pendently. Known currency mov: weelc suggested another strong bank statement. A gain in cash of $4,000,- 000 to $6,000,000 was forecast. While there were a few weak points in the bond market, its tone in gen- eral was good. Total sales, par value, $2.935,000. United States bonds were unchang- ed on call. STOCKS.

Men Are Being T:ugh( Control e a Pitcher—Ketcham Probably Will Not | Coach. Yale's {ootball andidates will pra pass all spring. At preseni, though winter practice is over and Coach Hinkey has left, they ar eat work in the basebail cage perfecting selves in this style of game. It became perfectly obvious during winter practice that Hinkey hopes next year to offset very ordinary ma- terial with daring team play. LeGore, freshman fullback, a fine drop kicker, and Robinson, the former Minnesota guard, are the only good men who showed up to fill the hole left in the Yale eleven, i Hinkey has his passers throwing the | ball at targets from various distances to develop accuracy. The men spent as much time acquiring control as a Dbaseball pitcher. In fact, winter work consisted of little besides work with ! the forward pass. i The only unexpected feature besides | this was the drill of the centers. They were taught an entirely new method of snapping back the ball. Considerable comment has been | caused by the fact that Capt. Ketcham of the 1913 eleven was not included in the list of assistant coaches for next them- year. These include Cornish, Wheeler, | S¢cond degree on a class of seven| Marting and Pendleton. Thursday evenin, On Sunday, Feb.| It is given out that Ketcham does |22 the third degree will be worked on| | not wish to coach, as he is anxious to | get to work.

SHUGRUE CLIMBING TO PUGILISTIC FAME. Meets Ritchie After Dundee Fight in New York in March. Joe Shugrue has arrived in Water- bury to prepare for his bout there with Johnny Dundee. Shugrue said that he had been matched to fight ‘Willie Ritchie in New York on March 27 before the Empire A, C. Shugrue has rapidly climbed the laddér of pugilistic fame, and it only seems like a short time ago when he fought a preliminary in New Haven, and at which time the fans discover- ed a comer. He was matched with some of the best boys in New York, and went west in the hope of con- necting with some of the big fellows, but they fought shy of him, and then came his opportunity to fight Leach Cross, and the Jersey boxer was al- most overcome with joy, and when the referee handed the fighting dentist a decided trimming the followers of box- ing all over the country knew that there was another contender for the lightweight honors. MURPHY BRINGS SUIT AGAINST BAN JOHNSON On Two Counts of Slander and Cen- < spiracy. Chicago, Feéb. 13.—Charies W.

He re- fused to give any details of the pro- posed suit and would not say with whom Johnson conspired. Neither would he disclose the basis for the { slander charges. ZBYSZKO TO WRESTLE HERE.
