Text | [discussing proposed rules amendments] The first, second and third bases shall be canvas bags, painted white and filled with some soft material; the home base shall consist of white marble or stone, so fixed in the ground as to be even with the surface. The only change in the wording of the above section is that referring to the home base. Hitherto this base has been marked by an iron plate painted white. The coloring soon wears off and the pitcher cannot see the base. Harry Wright proposes that white marble or white stone be fixed in the ground for the home base, and we endorse his amendment. |
