that is Just what he intends to do-
there will be lots of excitement while
the fight lasts, though that. probably

rounds.
“Berlenbsch is s murderous body
puncher, Tony. and. he‘s .likely to

"I’ll crack rib for rib with him.”
{was Tony’s reply.
“And don't forget, Tony, that Ber-

That kind of stufr'doosn't score me.

“Now don‘t get the idea from all

CHANGES IN THE RULES.
Seven C'allcd Bulls The Rule
More and more the game of base-
ball was beginning to tend toward
the modern type as the years
passed. in the rule changes of 1882
~the number of called bails was re-
‘ duced to seven. it had been found
that the pitchers could do well
enough and that there was no real
necessity to give them so much op-
ponunily to try to strike out bats~
alien. When they had so many called
balls upon which to work they wast-
ed ball alter bail merely to try to
get the curve just outside the edge
I “lit the plate, or they pitched high
deliberately if they thought a batter
éduld not hit. a high bull or threw
raw if it was the other way.
Q’The rule still remained in the
code that fined the pitcher for hit-
flbztll'le batsman with a pitched ball.
1!. umpire named the amount of
as fine and it ranged all the way
from $10 to 360. Of course the pitch-
or! were still up in arms about the
.‘flruie and it was equally true that it

371th amateur baseball but it made
“trouble. The pitchers declined to pay
the fines and almost invariably the
mo owners had to make good ‘out

league.
.It did not seem to have any par-
iioulu effect upon the pitchers be-
;‘7 none 'of them would concede
Z t be ever. bit a batter purposely
' most of.t.hem were arguing con-
nonuy that it was the batter who got
the way deliberately.
New regulations were inserted
bout the umpires. The system of
ng umpires for the games never
had been good and the new rule was
:‘Lb’e first step toward the profession-

These names stand out in gold let-
ters in baseball‘s earliest pages.
Harry “'righf.
John \\’ard.
Albert G. Spaldlng.
Nick Young.
James O'Rourke.
The records other men set. the fact
that they played parts in the es-
tnbllshment and development or the
games fifty years ago has caused the
names of many others to be revered
among baseball lovers. But the men
above stand out because they con-
tributed something more than indl-
viduol effort or prowess to the
game.
Wright's case is an example.
He is given credit for being the
first man to take up baseball u a
profession.
He managed the first professional
team of importance. the famous
Cincinnati Red Stockings.
it was he who led the famous Red
Stockings of Cincinnati on a tour of
the country—mostly as an education
venture—and guided them to 69 con-
secutive victories.
He showed his greatness u a man—
ngcr by winning four consecutive
pennants. the first mun to do that.
Wright became interested in base-
ball as a sport. He was wealthy and
playing baseball as s hobby when
backers of the Red Stockings invited
him end his brother George to Join
the team. The salary offered him
was 81.300 I. season.
Spalding stands out first In one of
the greatest pitchen in the game's
history. second as one of the great-
est organizers in the game and third
because of his feat of introducing
baseball to Europe.
Regardless of conditions Bpuldlng's
pitching feat of 1875 stands unequal.

this association that caused his as-
