Text	Cope their [the Keystones] regular pitcher is an excellent player for the position. He is plucky up to the backbone to begin with, and his good humor is a qualification that alone makes him a desirable member of a club, and he can pitch for hours without apparently feeling fatigue. He watches the bases closely and pitches a good ball, and when well backed up in the field will prove a troublesome opponent in the position. We would, however, suggest to him to drop that habit of his of following players when running their bases. It is not the right thing to do by any means. In fact, a strict construction of the rules should lead an umpire to prohibit it on the grounds of hindering the fielders from a full performance of their duties.
