[a circular from Wikoff] To managers, captains and umpires—The question of the construction of Rule 28, Section 2, of the joint playing rules, having been raised by Umpire Robert Ferguson, and in order that said rule may be understood alike by all, the following construction is placed on the same.-- “In order to take a player out of a game the captain must notify the umpire of his intention to put in the substitute at the close of an even inning and before the succeeding inning is begun. An 'even inning' is held to be a turn both at the bat and in the field by each team. If no notice is given the umpire of intention to make a change at the end of an even inning, before the succeeding inning is begun, then the change shall not be made during that inning. Those interested will take notice and be governed accordingly.
