The pitching rule has been revised so that the pitcher must face the batter with his shoulders pointing to first and third base; eliminating twist ing the body so that just the face is toward the batter. The other change in the rules specifies that the grip on bats must cover ten inches of the handle with the forward turn of the grip being located not over fifteen inches from the end of the handle. The 1948 series set a record for a single game’s attendance. On Sunday, October 10. 86,288 wit nessed the game. This also set a record for the history of baseball. In the golfing resort of Pinehurst, N. C., it is against the law for a train to whistle, or a dog to bark, after dark. In Dunn, "Buck” Best’s home town, it is unlawful to snore loud enough to dis turb the neighbors. 23
