Text	A letter was received by the Spaulding Brothers yesterday from their agent in London to the effect that a convention of the public schools had been held in that city, and that the American game of base ball, as outlined in The Sun on Monday, with but few modifications, had been adopted. The material changes have been as follows: The game s to be known as the “Base Ball rounders.” Eleven men will be played on a side, the two extra men being placed on a line drawn in the rear of the home plate. Instead of batting with one hand, as originally proposed, a batsman can use two hands at his own discretion. The Spaulding junior league ball has been adopted, as well as the O.B. bat, manufactured by the same firm.
