Find Many Baseball Diamonds Have

important changes will be
made in the size of baseball dl
monds, following discovery that
mistakes in measuring the pitch
ing distance and placing bases
have handicapped pitchers and
base-runners.
With baseball a spltt-seconJ
proposition and games hinging on
decisions where a fraction of a
second or au inch of space would
make a big difference, pennant
races have been effected by the
mistakes.
It Is said that in some cases
the pitching distance was meas
ured from the front end of home
plate. The rules say the distance
should be measured from the in
tersecting boundary lines of the
diamond at the rear of the plate.
The plate is 17 inches long, so
pitchers, when the distance has
been measured wrong, have been
17 Inches farther from hatters
than they should have been. Sev
enteen inches is plenty to spoil
the effect of a curve ball. The
ball, in that case, would break so
far ahead of the place the batter
could see it and tell what kind
of ball Was being served them.
It hu been understood bases
should be 90 feet apart. This
is wrong. Iv cases where there
have been 90 feet between the
bags, runners have bad to go 2
feet, 3 inches farther between |
the plate and first base and the I
