| Text | [discussing the upcoming rules committee meeting] In order that the best and most satisfactory results may be arrived at, Chairman Rogers says, unofficially, that if the National Scorers' Association can agree upon needful changes in the scoring rules, and will send a committee, the same will be received and the suggestions given a careful consideration. There is a strong disposition among the members of the committee in favor of recording sacrifice hitting. Its value to team work is at last recognized, and if Mr. Chadwick, its chief advocate, can but formulate some system by which such hits can be properly and intelligently scored without conflict with or subversion of other well-established scoring rules, and present the same to the meeting, we can assure the “father of base ball” o f amost favorable reception of his scheme and its almost certain adoption if it should prove practicable. It is not known whether the Ball Players' Brotherhood has any views in the matter of changes in rules, or whether it has appointed a committee to attend the meeting. If it has, however, the same will, of course, receive a hearing should such be asked. |
