RULES TO HEAD
OFF TOE HOME
RUN CLOUTERS
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.—The rules
committees of the two major leagues
—John A. Heydler and Barney Drey
fuss of the National league and Pres
ident Ban Johnson of the American
league—will get, together to discuss
all the suggestions which have bee.i
made for improving the game as soon
as the National commission finishes
its meeting in Cincinnati next Tues
day. The meeting of the rule makeis
will probably be held at French Lies,
Ind , as in former years.
One of the new rules wlr'ch the Na
tional league representatives will sub
mit for approval provides for a deep
er outfield. This affects rule No. 1,
which now reads that “ the shortest
distance from a fence or stand on fair
territory to the home base should be
235 feet.” The new rule which will be
presented provides that the nearest
fence or stand shall be no less than
than 270 feet away. If the American
league also approves of the change,
it will mean that the number of home
runs in both leagues next season will
be far less than before.
This new rule is plainly aimed at
the short right fields in Philadelphia
and at the Polo grounds as well as
at the close-lying field stands in other
cities. Most of the home runs made
in Philadelphia and in New York are
hit to right field. In Philadelphia,
they soar over the short right-field
fence into Broad street, while at the
Polo grounds they fly in among the
populace in the right field grand
stand, a spot cherished and made fa
mous by John Franklin Baker, of
Trappe, Md., who is now with the
Yankees. The Philadelphia park is so
small that the ball players call it the
Bandbox park.
Ground Rule May be Necessary.
The sad part of this new rule is
that, if the right-field stockades at
Philadelphia and New York come un
der the 270-foot limit, they cannot be
pushed back, and it will then be neces
sary to adopt a ground rule limiting
hits over the short barriers to three,
or even two, base hits. This will be
an awful blow to citizens like Benny
Kaufl', Davy Robertson, Frank Baker
and Wallie Pipp, to say nothing of
left-handed hitters like Luderus, on
the Phillies. It won’t affect Gavvy
Cravath, because although he made
his reputation as a home-run wallop
er by steering his blows over the wall
at Philadelphia, he will not be with
that club next season.
For several years there has been
objection from several clubs, because
of the short right fields in the ball
grounds of Philadelphia, New York,
Chicago and certain other cities. Vis
iting managers have often tried to es
tablish a ground rule at these parks,
limiting the hits to two bases. Dur
ing one period at the Polo grounds a
hit striking against the upper tier
boxes was limited to two bases, while
hits striking the front rail of the
bleachers in left field also came under
a ground rule, but of late years these
hits go as home runs in both leagues.
The American league teams, save
the Yankees, would not be as hard-hit
by the new rules as the clubs of the
older circuit. The fences in the Amer
ican league parks are deeper than
those in the National league, and few
ter home runs were made this year on
Ban Johnson’s circuit than in John K.
Tener’s league. There were only two
effective home run clouters in the
American league last season, and
both were members of the Yankees.
Walter Pipp led the league with 12
home runs, while Baker had ten and
would doubtless have had several oth
ers had he not been out of the game
with injuries for several weeks.
Many of these home runs were made
into the right field stand at the Polo
grounds. The four-corner clouts in the
National league were more numerous.
Robertson, of the Giants and Cy Wil
liams of the Cubs had 12 each, while
Cravath of the Phillies had 11. Ben

Pitchers Likely to Be Hard Hit.
This rule to push the fences back to
270 feet isn’t by any means the only
change the joint rules committee will
consider. They will also take up
Percy 1). Haughton’s suggestions de
signed to increase the batting by strip
ping the pitchers of some of their
prized prerogatives. The two princi
pal changes suggested are to limit
the foul strikes to one and to give a
batsman his base on three balls in
stead of four.
President Ban Johnson will proba
bly suggest a new rule, too, to do away
with the intentional pass. This is a
feature of baseball which is continu
ally hissed by baseball fans, and there
is a strong inclination among the club
owners to favor eliminating the prac
tice of giving a strong batsman his
base purposely at a critical point of
the game instead of giving him a
chance to hit the ball.
The meeting of the rules committee
is also likely to bring about legislation
of some kind against the moist ball
and the use of other artificial means
to make pitching more effective.
This same committee, which will al
so draw up the schedule anticipates
no difficulty in its work, as in cities
where there are two clubs, each club
opens the season every other year. It
is generally understood that the sea
son this year will begin on April 12
and that the Giants will open at home
with Brooklyn, while the Yankees will
open with the Athletics in Philadel
phia.

ety will give an informal party at Ro

THE DARCY MILL
(Patent Applied For)
The Darcy Mill is designed to meet the need of the mine owner and
prospector who wants to develop his own mine or open up ore bodies with
a view of disposing of the property, to work rich stringers of pav ore
to mill and ship concentrates or to try out a property before purchasing
—at as low a cost as possible.
It is not a toy mill or a makeshift in any way but a mill constructed
on scientific principles and equal in efficiency as any stamp of the same
weight. The 2000 pound mill has two stamps of 225 pounds each and drop
at 110 blows per minute for eacii stamp. The number of blows and the
force of the drop can be increased very easily by placing springs on the
stamp stems or the weight of the blow be increased with additional
weights, which we furnish when necessary.
It occupies a space 4x4 feet; no piece weighs over 100 pounds, and is
easy to move, pack, or set up, and uses less power and less repairs than
any other. The frame, battery blocks, etc., are made of Washington fir,
strongly bolted with rods to stand all strains; guides have large wearing
surfaces; in fact the mill is so constructed that any one can handle it
satisfactorily. Shoes and dies are of special hard iron with chilled faces,
screens easily removed—the whole front and back can lie removed so as
to get at the shoes and dies. Tappets arranged to clamp on a screw
thread so that the wear can he easily taken up. No expensive machine
work to pay for in repairs, in fact everything about the mill is simple,
compact and durable.
It is the simplest mill to start ydur mine with, as it is an easy mat
ter to add two or four more stamps or to increase the output by adding
the extra weights without, any alterations in the mill.
We can furnish the complete mill or just the iron work, or lease them
to responsible parties if they show us their properties are O. K. We can
furnish engines, concentrators, copper plates, rock crushers, jigs, tables,
etc., at market prices.
A vast amount of ore could be put on the market by using one small
mill for coarse crushing and jig the pulp, which will save the coarse
metals and get rid of the lightest, and the middlings recrushed in another
small mill and tills pulp run over concentrators or tables. This plan will
enable a lot of low grade ores to be worked at a profit which it is impos
sible to do in any other way.
Write us if you have such properties or if you wish further particulars.
Yours truly,
H. J. DARCY, West Tacoma
NELS OTTO JOHNSON, Agent,
IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
i papers. To decide without doing so
! is apt to result in regret later.
