{his league's umpires would be inIstructed to “allow for the peculiar-! ities in fielding” of Pete Gray, the

St. Louis Browns’ one-armed outfielder. . “rrr zg We will not alter our rules.”

Harridge said. “But we will follow the procedure of the Southern as{sociation in instructing our umpires on how to judge Gray's fielding | habits.” Gray, who appeared in the Southern association last year, catches a fl ball and tosses: the ball in the air -all in one motion, gets rid of his glove, grabs the ball and throws it. There is a rule in both the South- | ern ~ association * and. American league that a fly ball must be! caught.” In Gray's case the Southern association ruled that if Gray| dropped the ball after tossing it| the air. to shed his glove, it would be considered a putout.! The American league will judge: _Gray’s putduts the same way.
