[BigVic69]

Are the white lines traveling down the fingers piping?

How about this white part?

[ArchAngel72]

That has some piping as well as stitching and has parts of the fingers in white.  Even bigger no no..

 

[Guest ok thanks...]

I was confused with the part between the fingers.

I assume you are asking about a pitchers glove?

 

[Guest The funny thing is..]

The rules say "with exception of the piping" but do not define piping.

Yes, for a pitchers glove.

Piping is what in the first picture of the Wilson glove of the strips of leather on the fingers and around the hand opening. Also called welting  or binding. It is a small overall area of a glove. The pictures of the larger white leather finger areas on the Rawlings are probably going to be not allowed by most umpires.

It's a reasonably common term (this is from MW, but other dictionaries give similar definitions):
