Text	It is already a matter of complaint that Burns, Comiskey and other Association captains totally disregard the new coaching rules, and that they and their men yell from the coaching lines, from the players' bench, from their fielding positions and while running the bases. The rules expressly declare that a captain and assistant only may coach and that only while in their positions on the coaching lines, addressing their remarks to the base-runner. The base-runner himself has no right to open his mouth to speak to a batter or another base-runner. Umpires should enforce the rules. Laxity or indulgence in one particular simply invites violation of the rules in other and more particular points sooner or later. If umpires wish to save themselves trouble and annoyance in the future, they should, right now at the opening of the season, enforce all the rules without fear or favor.
