Text	[from Chadwick's column] As far as the tenth man rule has been tested it has worked satisfactorily, and it is now proposed to extend it so as to include the power to replace men in any innings, and so as to sue all the players on a team in a game if necessary or advisable. Anson favors this latter plan. He says:-- “Here I have a team of fifteen men and I want the right to use all of them in a match game if I find it advantageous to do so, putting four pitchers in a game if I like.” If this privilege was given a captain there would undoubtedly be fewer pitchers laid up with sore arms, while they would have daily practice for a short time in the box, instead of as now, having to wait their turn to go in once or twice a week. It would save catchers' hands, too. This rule would give a new interest to each contest. It might be tried in '90 to advantage.
