The active career Of a ball player COM
pared to men in other walks of life is not a
long one.
A review Of the players now Ia the two

prominent in the national sport have had
from five to seven years experience. in the
major organizations. These men have been

Fultz was about ready to sign a contract
with McGraw. and had about given his
word to the willy Celt from Oysterville"
that he would be with the National League
this season. Then came the announcement
that George Davis had jumped the White
Sox" and would be with the McGrawites
this season. McGraw said the story was
founded on fact. but Davis. with great
earnestness, denied it. Griffith then called
on Davis at his home In New York and Sc
cured a signed statement from him that he
had not signed with McGraw. and would be
with the Chicago team this season. Fultz
then demanded a written statement from

In several cities throughout the major
league circuit there has been a loud and
constant clamor against the foul strike rule.
Cleveland scribes are particularly voluble
in their denunciation of the Hart measure
While undoubtedly flaws can be picked in
!, the rule and objections raised against GER
tain features of it. 1t must be
that II has many points that appeal to the
fan.
Chief among its good qualities is the fact
that 1t lessons the time required to play the
gene. This, OF course, will not appeal to
these who are so fond OF the national game
and have so little to do that they would
watch a fifty-inning game throughout, but
to the business man. Office clerk. mechanic
and others whose time is worth money they
prefer to have the game played within a
short space of time as consistent with a
pleasant exhibition.
The fact of the matter is that there is
very little objection to the rule among the
players whether they be in the National or
American Leagues. OF couse. at the Begin
ming of the season some of the older play
ers complained that they could not adjust
themselves to the new rule, but in time
their objections were withdrawn when they
found they could hit the ball just as we'll

then striking out or going out on an infield
tap.
The latest man to indorse the rule is
Kicking Clark Griffith, manager Of the
'.Greater's New Yorks.
At first Griffith was a sworn enemy to
the rule. but like most other players it only
took him a little while to come around to
the measure.
In speaking OF the measure recently. he
said:
Il like the rule and SO do the players on
our team. The American League umpires
have had the privilege for two years Of
calling strike on fouls. At that 1 have seen
a thousand balls fouled off that should have
been called strikes.
'It often required a hard argument on
the pitchers part to get what was comins
to him on the foul strikes. Under the foul
strike rule this is all done away with. Now
q batter cannot afford to stand up and foul
on good balls. for by doing SO he puts him
self in a hole in two attempts"
The conversion of Griffith must be a hard
blow to the Boston and Cleveland critics.
vho have devoted much time and more val
uabIe space to defaming the measure.

who were star box artists Immediately became In
competent and the batsman had everything his
own way. The pitchers had worked until they
learned to break" the ball directly over or tust
In front Of the plate and when the change in the
distance was made some OF them couldn't even
pitch to the plate, let alone get the ball to
break SO as to deceive the batter. With the
Introduction Of the foul strike rule the pitcher
would again attain too great an advantage over
the batter and insisted that he be handicapped
and made to stand with both feet on or in
front Of the rubber. necessitatinE a complete
change Of style OF delivery for many of them
and reducing their effectiveness materially for
the time being. 1t is to this construction of
the new pitchers rule that Roy Patterson as
cribes his only defeat this season. for the neces-
sity OF standing with both feet on the rubber,
according to his style OF delivery, was 30 new
and peculiar to him and brought the ball to the
other aide Of the batter SO that he found 1t diff
ncult 70 get 1t over the plate at all, or to break
the curve.
In spite OF the various handicaps the rulemak-
ers are constantly lacking onto the pitcher the
batters do not seem to respond with heavy
stickers. According to the figuring OF the man

season will tend to develop q new slugger VINO
