Heydler, president of the Na- tional League, believes in the motto hanging in his office, "Take noth- ng for granted in baseball." Today he sent his annual instructions to his staff of fourteen umpires cov- ering many points upon which dis- putes hinged last year. He also made concse interpretations on doubtful plays. Umpires were told that when a batted ball passes outside the ground by going over the fence or stand, it shall be judged fair or foul according to where it dis. appears from the umpire"s view. In case a ball is hit into a stand or over an inside fence 250 feel or more from the plate, the um- pire shall call it fair or foul, ac- cording to where it passes from the actual playing field. Previous- ly the final ruling was on the pont the ball ultimately landed, often difficult to determine, When Crowd Overflows Field When ropes are stretched to re- strain an overflow crowd, these barriers constitute the confines of the playing field and a player can not jump over or crawl under these ropes to catch a ball. He may reach over the ropes and make = legal catch and even fall after cap- turing the ball, but he can not veu- ture beyond the barrier A catcher or fielder can no: jump into a stand or box to catch a foul ball, but may reach over the railing and gather the ball in if he can. If either falls into the stand, box or dugout after making a catch, the runner or runners on the bases can advance only one base, Venturing into the seats is done at the player's risk and no interference should be called, The spectators, aowever, can not do any reaching on their own account beyond the box. Interesting Point Heydler's instructions stipulation sure to arouse interest and perhaps con- troversy among players and fans. He presents a situation in which there is a runner on first base and three balls called on the batsmaun, The runner runs to: steal second base on the next pitch which is called a ball. The catcher throws to second and the runner over slides the base. If he is tagged be- fore returning to the base he is our, It runner President contain one in the case of a to score who fails to touch the plate it is not necessary for the careless runner to be pursued to the bench for the purpose of touching him. On ap- peal he will be declared out, On agreements to stop play at a specified time for the purpose of catching a train, the umpire must not terminate. the game except on a compelted inning. No new inning must be started unless there is a period of 12 minutes left in which to play it, Once started an inning is ruled that attempting SPOR1 SNAPSHO1S The annual meeting of the Ontario Amateur Softball Association is being held in Oshawa tomorrow, The business session will start at one thirty in the afternoon at the General Motors Convention Hall. Oshawa is honored by the softball moguls in its selection for the meet- ing, and it is hoped that "Bill" Harmer will be honored with the pre- sidency of the league. 1t is time that an Eastern Ontario represcnta- tive held the honor which so far has been practically monopolized by the western section. "Bill" Harmer has been one of the most ener- getic workers for softball in the city and as President of the Industrial League, now the City Industrial, performed the duties oi presisdent most acceptably. Lou Marsh and Mike Rodden, that hard bitten pair of sport scribes and referees, have been chosen to handle the Maroons-Ranger series. The boys will have to watch their step now, or they will find that they have played ascason and operated under a loss. Judging irom an article written by that voluminous writer, Frederick Griffin, Lou Marsh and Mike Rodden get their biggest kick out of pointing their finger and with the grace oi a ballet dancer announcing to a player that he is through or he will pay $5. rate. The series should be fairly clean, at any Maroons are favored to be the proud possessors of the Stanley Cup but the Rangers returns to their best form, with "Taffy" Abel re- gaining all his effectiveness after a long lay off through an injury, may upsct the dope. Frank Boucher has been upholding the traditions oi the Boucher family in great style, with the New York Rangers, He was awarded the Lady Byng Trophy for being the best player combining effective- ness and clean play, and gave a great demonstration of his calibre in the Rangers-Bruins semi-final set when he scored three goals, assisted in three others, and was not penalized once. "Rip" Collins is expected to star with the Toronto Leais. At least that is what the, players and the sport writers with the Leafs in Albany, Georgia, think after watching Collins perform. It looks as if Collins will supply some of that color so needed in the Toronto roster this vear. Toronto teams usually contain some players with that appeal, re- gardless of their calibre. color. Colorful players are generally stars, how- ever, because stars are temperamental and temperanient constitutes The Toronto club should not lose sight of the fact that Mer- win Jacobsen, now a holdout, does not lack that rather indefinable and indefinite quality called "color." 1 The debonair and insouciant "Jake" was always a favorite of Toronto ball fans--was not "Jake" with the team that included Larry Lajoie, Bunny Herne, George Whiteman, and others of like hkability ? . must be finished, even if the play=| v TIGERS HAN 7 TO 0 ers miss the train, Abuse of players by spectators will not be tolerated. For a first offence the umpire will warn the spectator and if the abuse con- tinues the customer will be re- moved from the grounds. If umpires think the pitching mound is built bigher than 15 inches, a competent surveyor may be drafted to determine the facts, I'resident Heydler told his um- pires to keep ther eyes everlastng- ly on the ball, keep their tempers and study the rules daily. TILDEN WINS TWICE Mexico City, April 4. -- Playing in splendid form, Bill Tilden de- feated both Junior Cohen and Ar- nold W, Jones today in practice motches designed to bring the American team into top coadition for the Davis Cup matches be- tween the United States and Mex- fco heer beginning' Friday. After disposing of Coen, 6-1, Tilden defeated Joaes Paired with Jones, the American team captain then de- feated John Hennessey and Wil. mer Allison, 6-0, 6-4, 6-3, 6-4, V0, 6-3, 6-2. DRUBBING TO DALLAS Dallas, Texas, April 4.-- Detroit Tigers made a good job of it while they were about it today, drubbing Dallas, Texas League outfit, 7 to 0 in a game that was every bit as one-sided as the scor ewould indi- cate, Moriarty's team got splendid pijching from veteran Elam Van- gilder and young Sullivan and showed appreciation of the work { o fthe two hurlers by hitting in | bunches midway to put the game well out of reach of their hosts. Three hits were all the Texaus had to show for an afternoon's toil against the two Tiger pitch- ers. Vangilder was on the mouni for five innings and over the span permitted only one 'hit, while one of the safeties off Sullivan was a fluke, coming when Harry Rice, in centre field, lost a high one in the sun and alllowed it to fall safe, Easterling, who played most of the game in left field, provided the afternoon's feature. He per- COLLINS SHOULD SHINE WITH LEAFS Albany, Ga., April 4--That "Rip" Collins should be a standout in the International League is the opinion of the Toronto players and all others who have seen the former Detroit star in action at the Leafs' camp since his arrival. Built like a cham- pion pugilist, Collins is as strong and husky as a Turkish wrestler and there scems to be no limit to his power and strength. He is a horse for work and it will not be his fault if he does not win well over twenty games for the Toronto Club next Summer, The veteran gave the regular squad a genuine sample of his pitching prowess today in batting practice. Collins served 'em up to the plate for over hali an hour without a let- up and he had the gang guessing all the time. He put plenty of stuff on the ball and had his curve breaking across the rubber like a flash. Very few long. drives were made while he was working and Sheedy declared after facing him a couple of times that he had showed him more foolers than any pitcher he had ever batted against. Veteran Under Wraps And at that Collins kept himseli under wraps as a general thing be- cause of the height of the footing. "l didn't want to cut loose wtih everything for fear I would hn someone," he said when he vacated the mound in favor oi Prudhomme, who along with Fisher and Reil, iol- lowed him in (he ninety minute work- out. Collins promises to add much color to the Leafs this season apart from his pitching ability and should be a great drawing card. He is quite a character and dresses the part, sport- ing a sombrero of the far West type and looking for all the world like the popular conception of a Texan cattle- man It is more than likely that Collins will make his first appearance in the box in a game when the Leafs strike Spartanburg next Saturday, He should give the Virginia Leaguers something to worry ahout, especially ii he decides to give them a taste of high life. LEAGUE OPENING NEARS Nashville, Tenn,, April 4.--The Yankees are one week away from the opening of the league season, but they have not yet learned how to beat thz m'nor league clubs. They are getting plenty of work in the attempt, however, for they went ten innings today following their twelve inning struggle at Chattanooga, to lose to the Nash- ville Volunteers, sonally accounted for the rum in the sixth by hitting for the cir- cuit over the left field fence, It: was the first time the feat has ever been accomplished IN this park, and any number of major league sluggers have been shoot- ing at the well removed rampart season after season, Blended R Winch Y CIGARETTES So easy to claim it-- Winchesters prove it with every puff you take. ir EER Winchester CIGARETTES A PO IN EVERY PACKAGE ester 20 for 25¢
