TIE people of st. ClairsvilIe have
made good commencement. They
should continue in the good work, and
should see that their schools are never
again degraded to the level of partisan
politics. Mr.. Rees' election is a protest
against sellishneSs and cupidity and low
partisan methods. Without regard to
party, and in defiance of partisan appeals,
the men of the town accomplished this
result. 1t was not a partisan victory,
and for the sake of the schools and of
society we are glad it was not.

The League Record,
How tn Improve Batting.


The subject Of changing the rules so as to i'm
prove the batting is now being quite generally
discussed. Various plans have been suggested;
the first is to return to the high aid low ball;
another is to move the pitchers box back FIVE
feet; Smother suggests making the home plate
smaller; still another advocates extending the
foul lines so as to make the fair ground greater
in extent and still another one is to abolish the
calling of balls and stikes, thus compelling the
pitcher to put it over the plate until the batter
strikes at il. The most feasible of these is the
return to the high and low ball and the extern
ton or the foul lines. The objection to moving
back the pitchers box five feet. or putting it in
the middle Of the diamond, is that few pitchers
could stand the strain of throwing swift ball
that distance, and skill in strategic pitch
ing would therefore be supple
mented by the employment OF brute
force. No pitcher like Shreve could
throw such a distance for nine innings. and
with the adoption OF such rule Clarkson's &C.
cupation would be gone, for his slow curves
would no longer reach tie plate. or. By the time
they did the batter would have been enabled to
draw a diagram OF them and print IL on his bat
A return TO the high aud low ball rule would be
sufficient to give batting o big chance. 1t would
compel the pitcher TO put the ball over the plate
and would practically ruin the effectiveness or
those who are comparatively wild under the pres
ent rules. Ii would also GO great ways toward
spelling the record of the pitchers who succeed
by means OF good drop ball. as batters could
call for high bali and thus handicap the use OF
the deceptive drop. Not many pitchers can
throw thr ee curved balls over tho plate above or
below the waist Of the batter. and not many
hitters can fail to hit straight ball which comes
at the height that they want it In order. how
ever. to insure plenty of hitting, return to the
high and low ball rule, and also extend the foul
fipes A Gttle
