PRESIDENT TENER MODIFIES COACHING RULE ON THIRD Runners Will Not be Declared Out for Interference Unless Player Assisted. New York, April 21.—Base runners in National League games will not be de- clared out®for interference by the coacher ‘“unless the coacher, by touching or holding the runner, has physiclly assisted him in returning or leaving third base” according to in- structions issued to umpires tonight by President John K. Tener of the league. The _instructions interpret Section 17 of Rule 56, which provides that “if a coacher touch or hold a base runner who is rounding third base for the home plate, te umpire sall declare such base runner out.” President Tener advised the umpire that when no play is being made the runner at third should not be called out if touched by the coacher. Copie: of the ruling were sent to presidents | of all the clubs in the league. The in- | structions become effective tomorrow. | CONN.

Says Burkett, Manager of Lawrence Team—Gene McCann Has Start. Jesse Burkett, who will guilde the destinies of the Lawrence club this season, ventured the opinion that the Eastern league wil be a pretty fast circuit. Iie says there are six teams right now: ir shape to go after that pennant. This is where Mr. Sur- kett, always a clear student of base- ball’ -conditions, as evidenced by his successful . career as a ball player and later as owner and m-.aager of the Worcester club of the New Eng- iani league, shows that he s still warking his brain on _the baseball prospects and is not one little bit on to of the way in making this predictio; He is perfeetly right . when hLe s that it is going to be a fast circiit, as has been snu¥h v +he Lr: £etsSon ac- tivites of tho 9.eieat cibs and jast as when he av that there are 1 caubs ar primed vy to go after ihe penmant from the drop of the hat. The six clubs that are well sup- plied with players, and who are not feeling many ill effects because of the bad weather now prevailing for prac- tice, are Burkett's own Lawrence ag- gregation, Hugh Duffy’s _ Portland cluk, Harry Lord's Lowell outfit, Louis Picper's Lynn combination, Billy Hamilton’s Worcester crew and Gene McCann’s New London bunch.

Connie Admits That He Blundered— Miscalculated on Lifc of Rebels. Connie Mack is as stoical as the cigar Indian that still flourishes in the small towns of the m Fred Va is only once | blue moon unbelts and cusses his s aff; But cording to ini s he has recently made to his friends he re- gards the year of 1916 as the year of | big mistake and blames it to the| death ‘of the Federal league, which he 41 not foresee. Although he is regarded as one of the rtest men in eball, Mack admits that he blundered in his calcu- lations on the life of the Feds. He has rently been caught off his mana- geri e, through his lack of fore- sight, as far as any base runner who ever fell for the hidden ball trick. The tall leader of the Mackmen dis played a ball club against the Yankees at the Polo Grounds recently that was not as bad as it had been painted. It is but a mere shadow of the one-time championship club that played under his banner, being for the most part made up of young players. Under the tutelage of an astute manager it will probably develop into quite a ball club hefore the end of this season, but at present it figures to run wild in 1 the second division. and therein lies the point of the sto; It is well known that Connie wrecked his ball ciub for certain rea- sons, for which he justified his But it is equally as well know e never intended to be caught in a £00d season with a bad ball club. He expected to build another team, and, in fact, started out to do so from the day the wrecking began. He knew ths would take at least two years to build up a_club that could fight for a pennant, and it is said now that he expected to accomplish that by the time the Federal league passed away. But like many other men in baseball he did not realize that the Feds were on such shaky ground and that they would go out of business as soon as they did. He expected them to last a year more, when he would have a ball club he could count on to do_something. Like most other men in baseball, he realizéd that there would be a refurn of interest in bascball as soon as the Feds died out, and the baseball war was over, and he planned to be ready by that time to take advantage of the new interest. But the sudden submis- slon of the Feds last winter left him with a ball club but partly developed and not ready to fight for a pennant or excite the Interest which would have made him strong again in Philadel- phia.
