Against the InsIlOt.

In order to increase the batting in
our national game more confidence
must be inspired into the batter. cspc-
cjally as to his safety while at the bat.
Permit me to suggest way in which
this can be accomplished, and at the
same time eliminate the only real dan
ger that the game possesses. My idea
is to draft a rule that will prohibit the
pitcher from using the inshoot, and
make the penalty for using it a severe
one, say the forfeiture of run to the
opposing team. This would decrease
the pitchers effectiveness to large ex-
tent, but the batting would be in
creased. The pitchers would object to
such a rule to certainty. therefore in
order to offset their handicap l would
suggest that a siX-foot circle be made
with the nearest line sixty feet from the
home plate, allow the pitcher to go
through any motions he pieases while
in this circle. facing the batter, and
that no balks be called, except when he
steps out Of the circle while delivering
the ball to the bat, or when he makes
a motion to deliver the ball to the bat
and does not. Let some OF the teams
give this trial in the spring practice
games. 1t stands to reason that when
a man goes to the plate, with the
knowledge tina. the only ball from
which an injury is feared is debarretl,
he will take all chances to make q hit.

Ewing on the Connor Deal,


Captain Ewing, of the Cincinnati
team, said. in speaking of the Holiday
Conner deal: "The Cincinnati club
does not need Common, and it does need
Holiday. If it should develop that
cannot play first, and this. will lie
known as soon as the training season is
we'll started, We have Vaughn, Schriver
or Holiday to play first base. I do not
want to 60 on the field with any posi-
ton unprotected. We had four out
fielders last season, and I think we
should have four this season. Holiday
is good man to have in reserve. There
is no telling at what moment either
Miller, Burke or Hoy might be injured.
With Holiday gone 1 would have no
one, to put in the place of the injured
player. A weakness in the outfield
might cost us three or four games, and
the loss of three or four games in such
a close race is liable to cost lis our
position. am we'll satisfied with the
team as it stands. don't want to make
any change unless I can see Il chance
to strengthen my team. Instead Of
strengthening think the trade of Hol-
liday for Conner would weaken it,"

This is certainly the case at shortstop.
Umpire Hurst is quoted as saying:

Negotiations arc in progress for the
Cincinnatis to open the preliminary
season at Dayton, O., with the new
Dayton team, of the Interstate League.
Manager Selee claims now that Sec
ond Baseman Mccain has not been re-

Now that Cincinnati does not want
Roger Conner, the veteran may be re-
tired, as st. Louis thinks favorably Of
playing Catcher Douglass at first base
during the coming season.
Manager Hanlon, of the champion
Baltimores, must intend to drop some
of his veteran pitchers, as he has just
added another youngster to his list.

Now that 1t seems improbable that

Who ever heard Of board OF this KIND

If the manager has a good case, ana
first-class lawyers have said he has,
why then the proper place is court

fix up the wrongs they have done the
Brockton boy without going into the
law business McGunnigle has faith in
Messrs. Soden and Byrne doing him
justice, especially as the latter is per-

reputation of dealing fairly in baseball
matters. The Louisville club will claim
that the board has no jurisdiction in
the matter as there was no signed con-
tract to show. The manager can prove
a contract before judge, but not be-
fore national board. Unfortunately
for the game Louisville has given the
national sport more unwholesome no
toriety than any other city that ever
held q league franchise. Not the least
of these unsportsmanlike proceedings
