Umpires will now be allowed to conduct a conference to change a call of “catch” to “no catch” and a call of “no catch” to “catch.” The committee approved the change in an effort to modernize the game, and to get an incorrect call changed to what should have been the correct call. Under the new rule, if a play to the outfield originally is called a catch but is overturned by umpire conference or through video evidence, the play will be declared dead and the batter will be placed at first base. Each runner will be advanced one base from the position occupied at the time of the pitch.

  • Right Off the Bat
    Right off the Bat By William F. Kirk Right Off the Bat JOHN BOURBON, PITCHER THEY tell me that Matty can pitch like a fiend, But many long years before Matty was weaned I was pitching to players, and good players, too, Mike Kelley and Rusie and all the old crew. Red Sockalexis, the Indian star, Breitenstein, Clancy, McGill and McGarr. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be, But where in the world is a pitcher like me? My name is John Bourbon, I’m old, and yet young; I cannot keep track of the victims I’ve stung. I’ve studied their weaknesses, humored their whims, Muddled their eyesight and weakened their limbs, Bloated their faces and dammed up their veins, Rusted their joints and beclouded their brains. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be, But where in the world is a pitcher like me? I have pitched to the stars of our national game, I have pitched them to ruin and pitched them to shame. They laughed when they faced me, so proud of their strength, Not knowing, poor fools, I would get them at length. I have pitched men off pinnacles scaled in long years. I have pitched those they loved into oceans of tears. Matty a pitcher? Well, yes, he may be, But where in the world is a pitcher like me?

It at- tempts to tell the story of the origin of the Evolution idea in Ionia, and, after long arrest, of the revival of that idea in modern times, when its profound and permanent influence on thought in all directions, and, therefore, on human relations and conduct, is apparent. Between birth and revival there were the cen- turies of suspended animation, when the nepenthe of dogma drugged the reason; the Church teaching, and the laity mechanically accepting, the sufficiency of the Scriptures and of the General Councils to de- cide on matters which lie outside the domain of both.
