[discussing proposals for new rules] Beginning with Rule First, governing the ball, bat and bases, we see no need of any change in the first section of the rule, except in reference to naming the quality of the rubber in the composition of the ball, the object being to avoid the difference in the elasticity of balls possessing the same weight of rubber, but having a variable quality. In the case of the difference between the vulcanized of “mould” rubber, and that of the sheet rubber cut in strips, the elasticity of an ounce of the former is not half that of an ounce of the latter. We therefore suggest that the rule should be amended so as to allow only one quality as well as one weight of rubber, the preference, of course, to be given to the non-elastic kind.
