Text | [from Caylor’s column] That idea of having two extra men in uniform who may be substituted at any time during the game for any other two men in the team is Anson’s idea. He sprang it a year ago at the first meeting of the committee on rules, and he and Spalding urged its adoption with a good deal of persistence. Just put it down, and pin it there, that the Chicago Club is going to be a big winner from that rule. The claim that it is made to punish men in the team who sulk in untenable. In nine cases out of ten the two extra men will be a pitcher and a catcher. It is a rule that will work to the disadvantage of the weaker batting teams. |
