SOME NEW BASEBALL RULES
SOME of tho changes in tho baseball
rules will bo of general lntorcst to
tho public, rind of special Interest to
tho fans and players. Hero are
somo of tho more Important:
Tho rule on balking thl3 season 13 set
out as follows:
"Any delivery of the ball to tho bat by
tho pitcher while either foot Is back of
tho pitcher's plate shall bo a balk." The
president Interprets this to mean that the
pitcher shall not bo allowed to have cither
foot back of tho back lino of the pitcher's
rubber, and ho must keep ono foot in con
tact with the pltchor'e plate and both feet
In front of tho rubber while ln the act of
delivering tho ball to tho bat, under pen
alty of a balk being called,
Section S on balking Is quoted: "Making
any motion of tho arm, shoulder, hip or
body tho pitcher habitually makes, with
out Immediately delivering tho ball to tho
bat, shall bo a balk." In case of a balk
being called with any of tho bases occu
pied, oach runner shall be entitled to ad
vance a base, but not the batsman. Allien
no bn30 Is occupied by a bnac-runner,
every Illegally delivered ball to the bats
man shall bo called a ball, whether It goos
over tho homo plato "fair" or not. But,
ln case the batsman strikes at uch Il
legally .delivered ball, Ijt will count for
whatover piny may follow.

Threo rules which are to bo strictly en
forced and are quoted as now this season
ore these:
o
"If, boforo two hands are out, and while
third base is occupied, the coachcr sta
tioned near that base shall run ln tho di
rection of home base or near the baso
line while a fielder Is making, or trying to
mako, a play on a batted ball, not caught
on tho fly, or on a thrown ball, and there
by drawa a throw to tho homo base, tho
baso-runner entitled to third base shall bo
declared out by tho unlplro for tho
coachor's Interference with and preven
tion of tho legitimate play."
n
i "If ono or more members of tho team
at bat stand, or collect at or around a
baso for which a runner is trying, there
by confusing tho fielding side and adding
to tho difficulty of making such a play,
tho base-runner shall be declared out for
tho Interference of his team mate, or
team mates."
The rule on coaohlng has been changed,
so as so as to allow two coachers at all
times. Tho coachers are restricted to
coaching tho base-runner and then onlyt
ln words of assistanco nnd direction ln
running bases, etc The rulo provides a
penalty of JS against each offender who,
upon a repetition of the offense, ehall bo
removed from the playing field.
"If ho touch home base biforo a base
runner preceding him In the batting order,
if there be such preceding base-runner, ho
loses his right to third base."
The Gloved Burglar.
Tho plain and simple means of "get
ting round" the flngdr-mark experts of
Scotland Yard has at length commended
ltilf to the burglar mind, says the
London Dally News. In evidence given
ln a, case at Windsor on Saturday It
was made plain that the cracksmen who
made a haul of Jewelry at Lady ?.Inrk
Cnrrle's some lime ago had worn gloves
all through the operation. The panels
and panes of glass examined by the of
ficial microscope showed no tell-tale
traces of . the presence of any well
known practitioner, but merely a num
ber of blurred marks. So another de
tail is added to the already large outfit
of tho modern burglar, who will now
carry his gloves along with hl list
slippers, his keys, his drills, his sawa
hla centerblt, his glasscutter, his
wrench, his dynamite, hla lantern, his
revolver and so forth. It is a business
that calls for lome capital
CHAMPION JEFF TO
BECOME A BONIFACE
Tho announcement that Champion
Jim Jeffries was going' to retire from
the boxing game within a year was
not a great surprise to the champion's
intimate friends, -to whom he made
known his plans before he left for the
Pacific coast
It Is- understood that Jeffries has been
contemplating opening up. a big cafe
and hotel in New York. During his ex- '
tended visit to the city the champion
was approached by several wealthy
friends who offered ' to advance-' con
siderable money to start the scheme.
Jeffries has a longing; to become a
honlfaee, but he hesitates about going
Into the matter until he cbuld givo the
"busincsa his personal attention. Jeffries
realizes that within a jear thero will
not be an opponent in sight for him to '
meet whereby he could) add to his bant
account to any great advantage. Put
ting some of his savings into a good
business proposition from which he
could draw a regular income. Jeffries
thinks would bo better than to meet in
ferior fighters and get only a little
money for his trouble.
When Jeffries retires he will not leave
tho profession a bankrupt like many of
his predecessors. The huge Californlan
J has mode money fast. He has accumu
lated a small fortune ln a very short
I time, and, although he has lived a life
I of ease, he has by no means squandered
his money. Profiting by the experience
of those great fighters that fell by the
wayside, Jeffries learned that it was a
wise scheme to lay something- aslre for
a rainy day. With some of his savings
-he purchased land In California, and
presented his mother with sufficient
money to purchase a homestead at Los
Angeles, in addition to money to maJn
1 tain it with.
