Ball Diamond Dimensions.
Weston ball tosser may find th
following Information of value when
they go up thia spring to lay out their
diamond:
Th erroneous Idea of the distance
between the home plate and first base
or between any of the other "sacks"
and that which separatea third base
from the home plate seems to prevail
not alone among -fans, who generally
accept the measurement as 10 feet
but also by some ground keepers. This
error caused Secretary Heydler. of
th National League, a short time ego.
to Issue an order calling for th re
construction, on account of faulty
measurement, of some of the league's
playing diamond. Under the rule
laid down for a diamond' construc
tion the various distances ar s fol
lows:
Home plat to first base, T feet
Inches: first to second base, IS feet
1M Inches: second to third base, 88
feet ltt Inches, and from third base
to the home plate 17 feet Inches.
The home plnte, or rather the front
of it, should be exactly SI feet 1 tnch
from the pitcher'a box aa the official
measurement from the intereectiona!
lines which meet at the back of the
plat should be feet ( Inches. As
the plate measure 17 inches through
from back to front It will b seen
thai the forward point of it should be
located exactly IS feet and 1 Inch
from the pitcher" box.
