4 ' for a pitcher to deliver within 20 seconds when the sacks are empty are the foremost of some 49 revisions this year by baseball's official playing rules committee.

The changes were disclosed to- day by Jim Gallagher. business manager of the Chicago Cubs. who serves as chairman of.the nine- man rules committee. ' .

The catcher's box will be reduc- ed to a rectangular area, 43 inch- es wide. directly behind home plate which is 17 inches wide. The for- mer triangular c.atclier's box flar- ed back to a 16-foot width.

LONG REACH AN ASSET

A wild pitcher might now toss one that a long-limbcd hitter like Ted Williams could smash for a hit.

If the catcher gets outside his 4:1-inch box before the ball leaves the pitcher's hand, a balk will be called.

The rule prodding pitchers to hurl within 20 seconds with the bases unoccupied long has been on the books. But now both the Amer- ican and National leagues are be- ing asked to enforce it by use of a.” stopwatch by the third base um- pire.

Cincy pitcher Bob Borkowskl struck out and continued running to first although he was automati- cally out. With Redleg runners on first and second at the time, the Milwaukee catcher threw to third .trying to nab the runner there, but he was safe.

mance and tennis both figure in Msurreen Connolly's 1955 plans. she said Monday in disclosing that her comeback try on the courts would be limited to a few major tournaments.

She said her right leg, injured in a horse riding accident last July 20. appeared to be sound again. Her heart. she added. is still pledged to Norman Brinker.

Miss Connolly said the marriage. which they had originally put off until Brinker was I ' -' from the navy this month. has been further postponed until after her comebac' tours. ' She will start tournament play at La Jolla beach. and tennis club's invitational March 11, 12 and 13.

CALGARY. (CP) - The Western lnterprovinciai Football Union ap- pears confident that within a week it will have a no-raiding agreement with the U. S. National Football League. It will press later for a two-man boost in the present im- port quota of 10.

The W.I.F.U. plan also includes a stipulation providing for "the re- turn of players from duty in the armed forces to the club who last had them under contract."

This. said one delegate. was in- serted solely for the benefit of Ed- monton Eskimos, who lost all-star halfback Billy Vessels to the U. S. draft after the 1953 season.

The league's plan for would see the elimination of the long-Controversial Canadian - Amer- ican, the import who has played four consecutive years in Canada.
