[from a column by Ward defending the new rules] The coaching lines are drawn sixty-five feet farther away, and the term coaching is given a legal definition. The umpire may now give his entire attention to the game and won’t be confused by some one howling in his ears. Van Court, the ex-League umpire and now in ‘Frisco, believes this the best change of all for the umpire.
