The following are the special rules governing the Indianapolis Club for the coming season:

The excessive use of intoxicating drinks is positively prohibited, and total abstinence earnestly recommended.

Smoking not allowed on the day of playing a game of ball between the hours of 1 p.m. and the close of the game.

Players will abstain from the use of profane language both on the field and in their dressing-room, and conduct themselves in a gentlemanly manner.

Players are particularly requested not to associate with prostitutes.

All players will report to the Managers of the head-quarters each day at ten o'clock, unless previously excused.

Any violation of these rules will subject the offender to a fine of not less than $10 or more than $50, or expulsion from the Club, at the option of the Board of Directors.
