Changes Anson Fcyors

Arson, the basoballist, would like to
sec some changes i'll the present system
of playing bali. He is in favor of putting
tho pitchers slab back in front of tho
pitcher, instead of having it behind
him. lie wants this done in order to
stop the intcrminablc pickering that is
gong on III almost every gamo as to
whether the pitcher is i'll position. 1t is
much easier to see whether tho rule is
conformcd to when tho slab is in front
OF the pitcher, and he dare not step over
it.
Another radical change that Arson is
III favor of is allowing the captain to
put players back into the gamo after
they have been taken out In other
words, the Chicagoun wants all restric-
lions OF this kind removed, the manager
being allowed to play his men just rs
he sees fit, taking them out and putting
them back just as he wants to.-Chi-
