Show J RIGLER SAYS EMSLIE IS RULE BOOK WIZARD J ' Bob Emslie, dean of the Na- t 4 tional league umpires, knows the ' rulebook better than the fellows t t who made it, according to Cy J Rigler. He says: t "Bob knows as much about J J the rules as all the rest of the t National league umpires put to- f t gether. It is a mystery to me that he wasn't consulted last t t winter, when they were making ' ' changes. After the commission i t had made the changes, Heydler J J asked Emslie for his opinion, i 4 Bob told him that two of the new rules were bad the dead- 4 ball rule and the one which re- J J quires the umpire to judge t whether a home run is fair or t t foul from where it pssses out ' of sight. These are the only , 0 two rules that have been done ' J away with, so far." t |
