[reporting on the new rules from the NAPBBP convention] Sec.11–Rule7.–This is an important amendment, keeping the umpire off the infield by adding to the rule, “and he shall not enter the infield while the ball is in play.” It will be remembered that several umpires had a habit of running to 1st and 2d while watching the play at those bases; this amendment prevents such a proceeding.
