Text | [discussing proposed rule changes] People have become tired of confining their pleasure at a baseball match to steady, unchangeable moiton of the eyes to first the pitcher and then the catcher. To increase the facilities for good batting will, then, be an important work before the League at its next meeting, and, in order to do this, several plans have been suggested. First, to adopt the proposed new rule requiring each ball pitched to be either struck at, a “called ball,” or a “called strike,” and to do away with the foul bound rule, thus requiring all batted balls to be caught on the fly to insure an out. |
