Of them. taking up, the fight made by
predecessors, want to have: the much
talked-of burt hit abolished, says the
New York Sun. They say that this style
OF batting has grown to be 90 scientific
that the majority OF the league teams
are Handicapped because OF the prof.
cheney displayed by The Boston, Baltl-
more, Cincinnati and Cleveland teams.
They also declare that the patrons OF
the game are almost a unit In desiring
heavier batting, and that the only way
to secure 1t is to make all players hit
the ball as hard as they can. A mem
Der Of the Baltimore team, who are
noted bunt hitters, believes that he has
solved the problem with this exC,ana-
ton: q ,9Ie -
"Whcn, was allowed to use my own
judgment was able 10 hit the ball
safely to such degree that had bat
ting average of $50. But by following
bench Instructions, which ordered me
10 bunt or place my drives In different
parts OF the ini1eld. I was unable to get
an average above $50. It Is the hardest
thing In the world to hit safely under
the so-callel scieptiflc code. With a
man ON first batsman receives Sig
nal that the base runner. Is about to
steal. He. Is compelled to hit the next
ball pitched, whether It is good or bad,
so that the runner may be sure to
reach the second bag. He is. also ex-
pectcd to hit into right field or bunt
the ball in front OF the rlate., Z, Heady
pitchers are all on to this game, and
they take care that no good, balls are
sent across tha,plate while n man Is on
first The batsnan Is naturally guess

capped. The hit and run game. which
includes bunting, has hurt the batting

and as he holds considerable sway with
the mngllatcssit, is'-not thought tl,at
there will be any Changes. A sugges-
ton has been made, which may be
turned Into a{rule, that ca tchers should
always remain close behindEthe bat,
thereby saving much time that is
wasted IN putting on their. masks. An
expert who has taken the trouble to
figure 1t all out says that with catchcrs

THE FREIGHT BLOCKADE
Hundreds of Carloads of Mach.
inery Stalled on the Lines

Yesterday the railroad freight block
ade reached it's severest point. Cars on
all the local lines are stalled in all the
yards. so inadequate are the facilities
for handling the enormous freight traf-
flc. The Washburn & Moen branch of
the American Steel & Wire Co. has
sent out more than 100 freight cars
within the past week More than hale
of them are stalled between this city
and Norwich, ct. Night and day forces
are hustltng to clear the tracks, but
perishable goods have the right of way,
and co1signments of machinery have
been sidetracked for many days.
The New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad is having Its hands
more than full in attempts to handle
its freight business. Supt. Henry M
McCambridge has worked the greater
part of the day and night for the past
week, and his efforts are bearing fruit
According to an evening paper, COM
plants are numerous at the New Haven
company's office. An investigation by
The Spy man showed that business
men, and especially wholesalers, who
are fair minded, have nothing but
words of praise for the efficiency of the
local divisions Of the New Haven rail
road in it's struggle against big odds
Work On the new freight house and
yards is being rapidly pushed, and re-
lief is expected within few days.
