It is a little singular that the delegates who worked all day, recently, in trying to improve the code of rules sent in for adoption by the Convention, should have spent so much time in trying to find out some way of putting a stop to the effects of “fair-foul” hitting, while they had in their own hands the most effectual remedy that can possibly be devised, viz., the addition of a tenth man to the field, which addition would enable the third-baseman to fully cover the open space now left available for the fair-foul style of hitting.
