President Hart, OF the Chicago club,
favors restoration Of the old rules which
places tie pitcher five feet neasar the
home plate than at present. When the
pla wing regulations for 9S are CON 1lcted
at st. Louis in February, Mr.. Hart plan
may be adopted.
There is one feature about it that v i'll
make it popular with the magnates. With
the pitching distance decreased, CLUBS Will
not have 10 carry half dozen twirlers.
Mr. Hart says: The object or placing
the five feet impost on the pitchers was
TO increase batting, as it was the popular
belief that more base hits and running
would lend additional interest TO the game.
III those days base hits were Compare Il vely
scarce, anG two-bagger created some
thing of a sensation. An increase Of s'at-
ting certainly followed the increase IF the
pitching distance, but l do not believe
that it has in any way added 10 the in
terest OF the sport
The game was far more uncertain un-
der the old rule, and the suspense vas
far more interesting than an abundance
OF base hits.

Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of New York,
the national organizer and the railroad
secretary OF the National American Won n
Suffrage Association, is in the city DO
ing preliminary work for the convention
to be held here in February. Miss Hay
said at the Riggs House last night:
The coming convention will be IL many
ways the most important and tue most
interesting ever held. 1t is our jubilee
convention. The association will be .ifty
years old in February We are striving to
make the program for tue meetings cor
respondingly important. Miss Stanton will
be present, and this In itself is an impor
tant event. Miss stanton Is now eighty
three years Old. She has not been at
our conventions for several years and I0es
not expect to be at another. Miss 4 Il
thony, of course, will be here. The con
vention Will be in a way, too, a birthday
party FOR her. Sue will be seventy eight
on the 5th OF February, one of the days
Of the meeting
In honor uf our jubilee, we expect 10
have several representatives OF the woman
suffrage moy cement In nothercountries. They
viii tell US of the growth II the seutiment
all over the world. As for the prosp ,cts
of our work i'll America. we hope to he
able to give most favorable news 10 the
convention of the campaigns in South
Dakota a nd Washington The present out
look is most favorable in both these
States for victory at next rau'S elections.
The Iowa legislature, which meets in
January, is to take up the suffrage ques-
tion, too
Miss Hay said of the reason why tie
WesteII States take up the suffra ge idea
more readily than the East:
1T is partly III the temperament OF The
people, who are not so conservative as
in the older states. But undoubtedly much
of our success there is due to the fact that
we achieved our first victory there, IN
Wyoming The neighboring States haze
felt the influence and seen the good ef-
fects Of universal suffrage. Every State
that we add to our list creates sentirn ent
in our favor all around it. New York and
Massachusetts are too far away
