More than 230 000 baseballs are used yearly by national leagues. New York and Chicago teams each use about six dozen balls for home games, with roughly nine per game on home grounds. The American league’s policy of using new balls raises overall consumption. The two major leagues together approach about 1 000 dozen balls per season. Minor leagues vary, with clubs using up to 10 to 15 dozen each.

Four Changes Made in Playing Rules
New York, Feb. 26. Four changes were adopted by the joint rules committee. A base runner on third who scores after batter interference will be declared out, not the batter. If two or more runners are on base and the man behind forces the preceding runner, he is out at once. A pitched ball hitting ground before the plate and bounding over is a ball unless the batter swings at it. Griffin objected to the second umpire remaining outside the diamond. Pulliam opposed. Minor rule clarifications completed the session.
