Already many coaches, anxious to start training early are clamoring for explanations. The "out of bounds" penalty rule has been misconstrued by many who attended the meeting- of tho rules committee in New York. Dr. Carl Williams, mem ber of the rules committee from the University of Pennsylvania, explained it yesterday as a mere clarification of the code. He continued: "Last Fall, when the ball was near the side lines, if a player was out of bounds at the time the play started, the ball was brought back without Baseball Moguls Prepare to Fight; New Scoring Rule By Associated Press New York, Feb. 10.—Conferences at which were discussed plans to protect the interests of organized baseball from interference by. the new Federal League to-day again occupied officers of the major leagues and of the Amer ican Association and the International League. The only regular order of business to-day was the adoption of a 1914 playing schedule by the Na tional League. To-morrow the American League will adopt its playing schedule for the coming season and on Thursday a joint meeting will be held, when it is expected a definite campaign against the Federal League invasion will be adopted. The baseball writers' sug gestion relative to the Cincinnati base hit Is as follows: "When a fielder has gained the batted ball and elects to retire the base runner instead of the batter, play is known as a fielder's choice. In case the runner is retired or would be retired but for an error, the batter is charged with a turn at bat but no lilt. If the runner is not retired and no error Is made the batter should be charged with a turn at bat but no hit, provided he swung at the ball, and shall be credited with a sacrifice hit provided he bunted the ball. "If, however, in the judgment of the scorer, he could not have been retired at first by perfect fielding, the batter shall be credited with a hit."

For the second offense, however, the offending team lost five yards. In many in stances an official warned a player that he was out of bounds and re quested him to get inside the line. "The rules committee believed the warning of the official might be con strued as coaching. They also saw no reason why a player should permit even a part of his foot to be out of bounds when he knew the rules did not permit it. next Fall officials will not warn a player who is outside the lines. They will permit the ball to be put in play and then will call it back and impose a five-yard penalty." STEELTON A. C. ELECTS J. M.
