game, he fails to return to and touch the base he occupied when "Time"
was called before touching the next base: _Provided_, the Base Runner
shall not be out in such case if the ball be delivered to the bat by the
Pitcher before the Fielder holds it on said base or touches the Base
Runner with it.
WHEN BATSMAN OR BASE RUNNER IS OUT.
RULE 51. The Umpire shall declare the Batsman or Base Runner out,
without waiting for an appeal for such decision, in all cases where such
player is put out in accordance with these rules, except as provided in
Rule 50, Sections 10 and 14.
COACHING RULES.
RULE 52. The coachers shall be restricted to coaching the Base Runner
only, and shall not be allowed to address any remarks except to the Base
Runner, and then only in words of necessary direction; and shall not use
language which will in any manner refer to or reflect upon a player of
the opposing club, the Umpire or the spectators, and not more than two
coachers, who may be one player participating in the game and, any other
player under contract to it, in the uniform of either club, shall be
allowed at any one time. To enforce the above, the Captain of the
opposite side may call the attention of the Umpire to the offence, and
upon a repetition of the same, the offending player shall be debarred
from further participation in the game and shall leave the playing field
forthwith.
THE SCORING OF RUNS.
RULE 53. One run shall be scored every time a Base Runner, after having
legally touched the first three bases, shall touch the Home Base before
three men are put out by (exception). If the third man is forced out, or
is put out before reaching First Base, a run shall not be scored.
THE UMPIRE.
RULE 54. The Umpire shall not be changed during the progress of a game,
except for reason of illness or injury.
HIS POWERS AND JURISDICTION.
RULE 55. SECTION 1. The Umpire is master of the Field from the
commencement to the termination of the game, and is entitled to the
respect of the spectators, and any person offering any insult or
indignity to him must be promptly ejected from the grounds.
SECTION. 2. He must be invariably addressed by the players as
Mr. Umpire; and he must compel the players to observe the provisions of
all the Playing Rules, and he is hereby invested with authority to order
any player to do or omit to do any act as he may deem necessary, to give
force and effect to any and all such provisions.
SPECIAL DUTIES.
RULE 56. The Umpire's duties shall be as follows:
SECTION 1. The Umpire is the sole and absolute judge of play. In no
instance shall any person, except the Captain of the competing teams, be
allowed to address him or question his decisions, and they can only
question him on an interpretation of the Rules. No Manager or any other
officer of either club shall be permitted to go on the field or address
the Umpire, under a penalty of a forfeiture of a game.
SECTION. 2. Before the commencement of a Game, the Umpire shall see that
the rules governing all the materials of the Game are strictly
observed. He shall ask the Captain of the Home Club whether there are
any special ground rules to be enforced, and if there are, he shall see
that they are duly enforced, provided they do not conflict with any of
these rules.
SECTION. 3. The Umpire must keep the contesting nines playing constantly
from the commencement of the game to its termination, allowing such
delays only as are rendered unavoidable by accident, injury or rain. He
must, until the completion of the game, require the players of each side
to promptly take their positions in the field as soon as the third man
is put out, and must require the first striker of the opposite side to
be in his position at the bat as soon as the fielders are in their
places.
SECTION. 4. The Umpire shall count and call every "Unfair Ball"
delivered by the Pitcher, and every "Dead Ball," if also an unfair ball,
as a "Ball," and he shall count and call every "Strike." Neither a
"Ball" nor a "Strike" shall be counted or called until the ball has
passed the Home Base. He shall also declare every "Dead Ball," "Block,"
"Foul Hit," "Foul Strike," and "Balk," "Infield" or "Outfield Hit," as
prescribed in Rule 45, Section 9.
CALLING "PLAY" AND "TIME."
RULE 57. The Umpire must call "Play" promptly at the hour designated by
the Home Club, and on the call of "Play" the game must immediately
begin. When he calls "Time" play shall be suspended until he calls
"Play" again, and during the interim no player shall be put out, base be
run or run be scored. The Umpire shall suspend play only for an accident
to himself or a player (but in case of accident to a Fielder "Time"
shall not be called until the ball be returned to and held by the
Pitcher, standing in his position), or in case rain falls so heavily
that the spectators are compelled, by the severity of the storm, to seek
shelter, in which case he shall note the time of suspension, and should
such rain continue to fall thirty minutes thereafter, he shall terminate
the game; or to enforce order in case of annoyance from spectators.
RULE 58. The Umpire is only allowed, by the Rules, to call "Time" in
case of an accident to himself or a player, a "Block" as referred to in
Rule 35, Section 3, or in case of rain, as defined by the rule.
INFLICTING FINES.
RULE 59. The Umpire is empowered to inflict lines of not less than
$25.00, nor more than $100.00, for the first offence, on players during
the progress of a game, as follows:
SECTION 1. For vulgar, indecent or other improper conduct or language.
SECTION. 2. For the Captain or Coacher willfully failing to remain
within the legal bounds of his position, except upon an appeal by the
captain from the Umpire's decision upon a misinterpretation of the
rules.
SECTION. 3. For the disobedience by a player of any other of his orders,
or for any other violation of these rules.
SECTION. 4. Immediately upon notification by the Umpire that a fine has
been imposed upon any Manager, Captain or player, the Secretary shall
forthwith notify the person so fined, and also the club of which he is a
member, and in the event of the failure of the person so fined to pay to
the Secretary the amount of said fine within five days of notice, he
shall be debarred from participation in any championship game until such
fine is paid.
SECTION. 5. The Umpire may remove a player from the playing field for a
violation of Section 1 of this rule, in addition to a fine, but under no
circumstances shall he remove a player for a violation of Section 2 of
this Rule, unless upon a repetition of the offence prescribed therein.
FIELD RULES.
RULE 66. No club shall allow open betting or pool-selling upon its
ground, nor in any building owned or occupied by it.
RULE 61. No person shall be allowed upon any part of the field during
the progress of the game in addition to the players in uniform, the
Manager on each side and the Umpire; except such officers of the law as
may be present in uniform, and such officials of the Home Club as may be
necessary to preserve the peace.
RULE 62. No Umpire, Manager, Captain or player shall address the
spectators during the progress of a game, except in case of necessary
explanation.
RULE 63. Every Club shall furnish sufficient police force upon its own
grounds to preserve order, and in the event of a crowd entering the
field during the progress of a game, and interfering with the play in
any manner, the Visiting Club may refuse to play further until the field
be cleared. If the ground be not cleared within fifteen minutes
thereafter, the Visiting Club may claim, and shall be entitled to, the
game by a score of nine runs to none (no matter what number of innings
have been played).
GENERAL DEFINITIONS.
RULE 64. "Play" is the order of the Umpire to begin the game, or to
resume play after its suspension.
RULE 65. "Time" is the order of the Umpire to suspend play. Such
suspension must not extend beyond the day of the game.
RULE 66. "Game" is the announcement by the Umpire that the game is
terminated.
RULE 67. An "Inning" is the term at bat of the nine players representing
a Club in a game, and is completed when three of such players have been
put out, as provided in these rules.
RULE 68. A "Time at Bat" is the term at bat of a Batsman. It begins
when he takes his position, and continues until he is put out or becomes
a base runner; except when, because of being hit by a pitched ball, or
in case of an illegal delivery by the Pitcher, or in case of a sacrifice
hit purposely made to the infield which, not being a base hit, advances
a base runner without resulting in a put out, except to the Batsman, as
in Rule 45.
RULE 69. "Legal" or "Legally" signifies as required by these Rules.
SCORING.
RULE 70. In order to promote uniformity in scoring championship games
the following instructions, suggestions and definitions are made for the
benefit of scorers, and they are required to make all scores in
accordance therewith.
BATTING.
SECTION 1. The first item in the tabulated score, after the player's
name and position, shall be the number of times he has been at bat
during game. The time or times when the player has been sent to base by
being hit by a pitched ball, by the Pitcher's illegal delivery, or by a
base on balls, shall not be included in this column.
SECTION. 2. In the second column should be set down the runs made by
each player.
SECTION. 3. In the third column should be placed the first base hits
made by each player. A base hit should be scored in the following cases:
When the ball from the bat strikes the ground within the foul lines, and
out of reach of the Fielders.
When a hit ball is partially or wholly stopped by a Fielder in motion,
but such player cannot recover himself in time to handle the ball before
the striker reaches First Base.
When a hit ball is hit so sharply to an infielder that he cannot handle
it in time to put out the Batsman. In case of doubt over this class of
hits, score a base hit, and exempt the Fielder from the charge of an
error.
When a ball is hit so slowly toward a Fielder that he cannot handle it
in time to put out the Batsman.
That in all cases where a Base Runner is retired by being hit by a
batted ball, the Batsman should be credited with a base hit.
When a batted ball hits the person or clothing of the Umpire, as defined
in Rule 48, Section 5.
SECTION. 4. In the fourth column shall be placed Sacrifice Hits, which
shall be credited to the Batsman, who, when no one is out, or when but
one man is out, advances a Runner a base by a bunt sacrifice hit, which
results in putting out the Batsman, or would so result if the ball were
handled without error.
FIELDING.
SECTION. 5. The number of opponents put out by each player shall be set
down in the fifth column. Where a Batsman is given out by the Umpire for
a foul strike, or where the Batsman fails to bat in proper order, the
put out shall be scored to the Catcher.
SECTION. 6. The number of times the player assists shall be set down in
the sixth column. An assist should be given to each player who handles
the ball in assisting a run out or other play of the kind.
An assist should be given to a player who makes a play in time to put a
Runner out, even if the player who could complete the play fails,
through no fault of the player assisting.
And generally an assist should be given to each player who handles or
assists in any manner in handling the ball from the time it leaves the
bat until it reaches the player who makes the put out, or in case of a
thrown ball, to each player who throws or handles it cleanly, and in
such a way that a put out results, or would result if no error were made
by the receiver.
ERRORS.
SECTION. 7. An error shall be given in the seventh column for each
misplay which allows the striker or base runner to make one or more
bases when perfect play would have insured his being put out, except
that "wild pitches," "base on balls," bases on the Batsman being struck
by a "pitched ball," or in case of illegal pitched balls, balks and
passed balls, shall not be included in said column. In scoring errors of
batted balls see Section 3 of this Rule.
SECTION. 8. Stolen Bases shall be scored as follows:
Any attempt to steal a base must go to the credit of the Base Runner,
whether the ball is thrown wild or muffed by the fielder, but any
manifest error is to be charged to the fielder making the same. If the
Base Runner advances another base he shall not be credited with a stolen
base, and the fielder allowing the advancement is also to be charged
with an error. If the Base Runner makes a start and a battery error is
made, the runner secures the credit of a stolen base, and the battery
error is scored against the player making it. Should a Base Runner
overrun a base and then be put out, he shall receive the credit for the
stolen base. If a Base Runner advances a base on a fly out, or gains two
bases on a single base hit, or an infield out, or attempted out, he
shall be credited with a stolen base, provided there is a possible
chance and a palpable attempt made to retire him.
EARNED RUNS.
SECTION. 9. An earned run shall be scored every time the player reaches
the home base unaided by errors before chances have been offered to
retire the side.
THE SUMMARY.
RULE 71. The Summary shall contain:
SECTION 1. The number of earned runs made by each side.
SECTION. 2. The number of two-base hits made by each player.
SECTION. 3. The number of three-base hits made by each player.
SECTION. 4. The number of home runs made by each player.
SECTION. 5. The number of bases stolen by each player.
SECTION. 6. The number of double and triple plays made by each side, and
the names of the players assisting in the same.
SECTION. 7. The number of men given bases on called balls by each
Pitcher.
SECTION. 8. The number of men given bases from being hit by pitched
balls.
SECTION. 9. The number of men struck out.
SECTION. 10. The number of passed balls by each Catcher.
SECTION. 11. The number of wild pitches by each Pitcher.
SECTION. 12. The time of Game.
SECTION. 13. The name of the Umpire.

#Rules Appendix.#
We have very little to comment upon this year in regard to the
amendments made to the playing rules of the game, alike by the special
committee appointed to revise them, or by the committee of the whole who
do the final work of revision. No improvement in this branch of League
legislative work, too, may be looked for until a regular and permanent
committee of rules be appointed, with President Young as its continuous
chairman, aided by the chief of the umpire staff, Harry Wright, and one
member of the League, a member like Mr. Byrne, who has done more since
he has been in the League to really improve the game than any other of
the several members of the rules committee since 1891. Moreover, the
report sent in by this proposed permanent committee of rules should not
be changed by the committee of the whole at the spring meetings except
by a two-thirds vote. As it is now, the whole business would likely be
spoiled by the final revision made by a simple majority vote.
The changes made by the committee of 1894, in several instances did not
improve the game at all. The amendment made to the bat rule, which
removed the restrictions as to size, was absurd. The League did well to
throw it out. The gain in the diameter of the bat, though small, will
have its effect on the batting. A quarter of an inch is not much, but it
will tell. The abolition of the "mitt," except for catchers and first
basemen, was a good move, as was the introduction of a penalty for the
failure of umpires to prevent "kicking." One change introduces a new
experiment, and that is the call of a strike on every foul tip caught on
the fly. The calls of strikes will be more numerous than ever, viz., the
regular strikes, the strikes on foul bunts and on foul tips.
As to the change made in the pitcher's plate, nothing was gained by it.
The pitcher will still violate the rule requiring him to have his foot
in contact with the rubber plate, as he did last year. He cannot get a
firm foothold by placing his foot on the rubber. What was wanted was a
hollow, oblong square, 12x36 inches, in which the pitcher could have
obtained a good, firm foothold within the box, and not as now, outside
of it, as he now has to, to secure a good standpoint for his pivot foot
outside of the box.
Not a single change was made in the badly-worded scoring rules, and in
consequence the same old premium for record batting is offered to every
"fungo" hitter in the ranks. Each member of the committee still walks in
the same old rut in this respect.
One of the best changes was the following: Rule 59 reads now so that
players using "vulgar, indecent, or other improper language" shall be
fined $25 and $100, instead of $5 and $25. In Rule 59, Section 4 was
stricken out and the following substituted: "Upon notification from an
umpire that a fine has been imposed upon any manager, captain or player,
the secretary shall forthwith notify the person so fined, and also the
club of which he is a member, and in the event of the failure of the
person so fined to pay the amount within five days, he shall be debarred
from participating in any championship game until such fine is paid."
The committee still retained that problem in mathematics contained in
the first rule, a description of how to lay out a field which would
puzzle a Yale quarterback.
The change made in Rule 45, Section 1, is a good one. Only the batsman
who has failed to bat in his proper turn can be declared out, not those
who have batted out of turn in consequence of the former's error.
It will now cost a kicker $25 at least, for indulging in his "hustling"
tactics.
That was a much-needed resolution adopted by the League forbidding any
club from paying a single fine inflicted on a player.

#A Compliment to the Editor of The Guide.#
At the annual meeting of the National League, held at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, New York, on Nov. 15, 1894, on a motion made by C.H. Byrne,
president of the Brooklyn club, Henry Chadwick, the veteran base ball
writer, and editor of the League GUIDE since 1881, was, by a unanimous
vote, made an honorary member of that body. This honor has been
conferred upon but four other persons in the history of the League,
namely: A.G. Mills, of New York, ex-President of the League;
A.G. Spalding, of Chicago; George W. Howe, of Cleveland, and John
B. Day, of New York. In presenting Mr. Chadwick's name Mr. Byrne spoke
enthusiastically of the effective work the veteran had done for years in
popularizing base ball, and called attention to the fact that
Mr. Chadwick was the recognized authority in all matters pertaining to
base ball, and to him more than any other individual living is due the
credit for the present almost perfect code of rules governing the game.
The League subsequently appointed a committee, consisting of President
N.E. Young, C.H. Byrne, of Brooklyn, and A.J. Reach, of Philadelphia, to
prepare a proper address to Mr. Chadwick, and to have same engrossed and
framed for presentation. The result of their official duty was an
exceptionally handsome piece of engrossing, set in a gilt frame. A
pastel portrait of Mr. Chadwick is in the centre of a decorative scroll
on which is the following testimonial:
The
NATIONAL LEAGUE AND AMERICAN ASSOCIATION
of
PROFESSIONAL BASE BALL CLUBS OF THE UNITED STATES
to
HENRY CHADWICK.
At a regular annual meeting of the National League and American
Association of Professional Base Ball Clubs, held in New York City,
November 15, 1894, all twelve clubs being present,
MR. HENRY CHADWICK,
of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
was by a unanimous vote elected an
HONORARY MEMBER
of this body.
In conferring this membership this organization pays the highest tribute
in its power to one who, during a number of years almost as great as is
usually alloted to man to live, has unselfishly devoted his time, his
talents and his energies, by voice and pen, to establish BASE BALL as
the NATIONAL GAME of America.
At all times and in all places he has diligently worked for its
DEVELOPMENT, and battled for its INTEGRITY, its HONESTY and the PURITY
of its methods.
He has been an unflinching foe of those within the ranks who permitted
any stigma to attach to it and a gallant defender against any attack
from without, touching its good name and fame. Always a devoted friend
of the honest ball player, he has been a never-failing advocate of the
rights of and the respect due the umpire. His advice and good offices
most frequently sought have ever been readily given, and to the benefit
and advantage of all.
We pay this tribute with pleasure and deference to
HENRY CHADWICK,
the father of base ball, who now in the full of his years and after a
long life of usefulness to his fellow man, still lives to see the
fruition of his fondest hopes, and base ball, which he has fostered and
upheld, pleaded for and battled for, now established forevermore as our
national game.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN!!
1. ART OF CURVE PITCHING. 3. ART OF ZIGZAG CURVE PITCHING.
2. ART OF BATTING. 4. ART OF BASE RUNNING.
These four books _ought_ to be read by every ball player in America.
Although written for amateurs they are highly recommended by
professionals. You can get more information from them in two hours of
careful study than you can get from field practice in #Two Years#, and
for a very little money, too. They are plain, practical, and
_scientific_, and at their low price no player can _afford_ to be
without them. Nearly 40,000 copies sold to date. Price, by mail, 15
cents each--the four _at one time_ for 50 cents. _Special discounts_ to
clubs on receipt of stamp. A _premium_ worth 50 cents given _free_ to
every _tenth_ purchaser and _also_ to _everyone_ who orders the four
books at one time. Order the four and get twice the value of your
money. _Read on!_
THE MAGIC BASE BALL CURVER!!
As a result of careful study and experiment I have perfected a
mechanical device that will enable any intelligent amateur pitcher, with
a very little practice, to discount the best professional in existence
in the matter of curves. It is neatly constructed on _scientific_
principles and is a marvel of simplicity. It is so small that no one
will notice it and the batsmen will wonder where those #Awful# curves
come from. The pitcher who uses one of these "Curvers" has the opposing
team completely at his mercy. It is worth $10 to any pitcher, but I will
send it, postpaid, to any address, on receipt of 25 cents in _cash_ or
30 cents in _stamps_. Send for one _without delay_. Write plainly. Wrap
coin in paper. For any of the above, address,
EDWARD J. PRINDLE, Torrington, Conn.
N. B.--Order all goods direct from me if you desire to get a premium.
_Don't forget it_.
PRACTICAL BALL PLAYING.
By ARTHUR IRWIN.
Without a doubt the most practical book ever written which illustrates
and tells distinctly how any one can become an expert ball player.
Especially adapted for College Players, Amateurs and Semi-professionals.
It describes the proper way to field, hints to batteries, how to become
a good catcher, how to play first base, second base, and third base,
also a special chapter for fielders. The articles in relation to
batting, both individual and team, are the best ever written. The book
contains many accurate illustrations, showing what positions to assume
when at the bat, when in the field and in the pitcher's box.
Probably no man in America is more qualified to write on this subject
than Arthur Irwin of the Philadelphia League Club and Coacher of the
University of Pennsylvania.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY:#
The Michigan Central provides the best possible service that could be
expected between the East and the West.--Christian Leader, Boston.
"Comfort in Travel" has nowhere reached a higher degree of perfection
than on this far and justly famed road.--Christian Herald, Detroit.
The Michigan Central is one of the best managed and most satisfactory
railroads in the world to travel by.--Rochester Post Express.
"Comfort in Travel" is a phrase that among experienced travelers has
come to be almost synonymous with "Michigan Central."--Democrat and
Chronicle.
Safe, luxurious and fast running over a peerless track, amid the
grandest scenery, the Michigan Central trains make comfort in travel a
delightful reality.--Buffalo Enquirer.
"Comfort in Travel," that want of all tourist and commercial birds of
passage, is invariably filled on the Michigan Central, "The Niagara
Falls Route."--Evening Wisconsin.
As for the promise of "Comfort in Travel" by this road, as well as the
speed and safety realized, the many thousands who pass over it will
surely testify that it is kept to the letter.--The Standard, Chicago.
