Text | At the league meeting on Tuesday next, which, in addition to being one at which to adopt a schedule, is also an adjourned annual meeting, it is possible that an effort will be made to enact a rule allowing a player to overrun second and third bases where a player attempts to steal to one or the other. This ought to be done. It is poor encouragement for a player, in his earnestness to win for his club, to steal to second or third base, and be obliged to slide several feet to avoid being put out, and at the same time to run a great risk of receiving serious, if not permanent, injury. |
