Text	The work of the convention will be light, unless they proceed to introduce rudely prepared rules, inasmuch as a regular code, which has required some months of careful work, has been printed for the use of the convention in which but two changes have been introduced, viz., that of the ten men rule, and the rule allowing bases to be run on a foul fly catch the same as a fair fly catch. All the other amendments are but alterations of the wording of the sections with a view of making the definitions plainer. It is important to a professional code that every point of play on the game should be duly covered by the rules. The order has been changed somewhat, the code now consisting of seven rules, viz., those relating to the material of the game, the players, the game itself, the pitching, the batting, the base-running and the umpire.
