Had a 1st round playoff Mens SP ASA

One team was using a 1B's glove in Right Center. It was brought to my attention, but not in any objectionable way (it came about as a rsult of the next paragraph). I told him there there is no specifications in the rulebook as to what glove a player can wear unless it exceeds measurements. I came home and re-read the ASA rulebook and believe that I am correct based on Rule 3 Section 4 where it says "A glove/mitt can be worn by any player.The dimensions of any glove cannot exceed the specifications. . ." Am I Correct or am I missing something???

Also:
The opposing team had a bat that was weighted down, I didnt see any markings for an official warm up bat. The bat weighed a ton, Big Pappi woulda had a hard time swinging it. In pre-game, I told the team rep to remove it and that if you are going to use it, take it ouside your dugout and out of play - I didnt want to see it. Well, it popped up more than once, and finally (after realizing that it was the same bat because someone was using it in the field of play in the warmup area) I asked for it to be removed from the field of play. They werent too happy believe it or not they complained and argued. THIS BAT WAS NEVER USED AT THE PLATE. . .Once again, I told them to take it out of the field if they wanted to use it. Finally, they did

In this case, what could I have done better to ensure it never came back once I warned them in ground rules - - what would you do if it did come back. . . .To me, its like having a lead pipe on the field. . .I would eject the team rep for not listening to me.
