Text	[reporting on the AA special meeting of 6/7] Mr. C. H. Byrne moved that Rule 23 be amended so as to wipe out all restrictions upon the pitcher, allowing him to deliver the ball as he pleases. The motion was finally adopted. Mr. C. H. Byrne next made a motion, seconded by Lew Simmons, to change Section 3 of Rule 45 so as to do away with the foul bound. This motion prevailed by unanimous vote. Rule 42 was amended to read as follows::=”That the choice of innings shall be given to the captain of the home club and the manager or representative of the home club shall be the sole judge as to the field being in fit condition to play the game as scheduled.
