Pongce. with its rich golden

of the favor that it is in. Genuine
pongec, the sort that is woven in

strength more than beauty. But

“Uniformity of playing rules for the
whole country is one of the most. Im-
portant and essential features of the
‘game." said James A. Hart. prosldentw
of the Chicano club. “Some of the crit-
lcn hive been saying that such varia-

and no such law in another would not

should be kept identical In all the les-
gucs. l have been strongly In favor of

changes in rules for the past twenty
years have been made’ not with any
Idea of radical departures but to keep
the game just at its best. and most
of the changes have been necessitated
. by the fact that the players grew too
shrewd for the rules—outgrew the star
tales. and had to be governed by new
laws."
“We abolished the foul-out-on-the-
first-bound because the players were
getting It down too fine. Then we had
to do away with the foul-tIp-out. for it
came to such a pose that the catchers
were shipping their fingers, cinching
with their tongues. or even snapping
rubber bonds to fool the umpires, and
the ensuing rows were endless. The
