Unit for Rentention.

The umpires of the country are almost
unit for the retention of the foul
strike rule. Joe Cantillon. who is now
the manager of the Milwaukee Ameri-
can Association team. but who has been
an umpire In both the American and
National Leagues. Is outspoken i'm his
advocacy Of the law. He said yester-
day:
1t would be long step backward for
the rules committee to turn down the
rule now. Under the old rule such men
as Billy Keeler. Jones. McGraw and
forty others that could be named could
foul of any good ball that was over the
plate and then walk
There Is nothing to the argument
that the rule hurts the batting aver
ages. Lajoie won the honors in the
American League last summer, just as
he did the year before. but with not
quite as high an average. but then he
had been sick long time in the spring,
and that could have caused the slump
as well as anything
1T didn't hurt Delehanty's batting.
and it does not hurt the batting OF any
free hitter. A batter makes his aver
ages of the hits that he makes and not
on the fouls that are made. The foul
strike rule was q necessity and a de-
clded Improvement in the game. and
nope II has come to stay"

IF the American League is looking
for a chance to get out from under the

means Of the foul strike rule just as
well as for any other reason
This statement has been made by
James A. Hart in discussing the atti-
tude of the American League in adopt
ing a resolution opposing the foul strike
rule at its recent meeting Hart said:
president Harry Pulliam states the
case in his announcement when he says
that the action of the American League
will be a fragrant violation of the ma
tional agreement should IL drop the foul
strike rule without the consent Of the
National League. The foul strike rule
needs no defense. 1t is no longer an
experiment, and the public has accepted
II and is satisfied with IL. The opposi-
ton to the rule comes from Cleveland
IN the American League. because some
OF the officials there think that II handi-
caps Lajoie somewhat in his batting,

Do you remember how the sun
Went shimmering across the dew
That day when May was just begun
And all OF life and love were newf
A gypsy lad and lass we ran
Through field and wood. Can you forget
That day when you were Aucassfn
And WAS Nicoliette?
And then the wonder OF that night
When the white moon went UP the sky
And we two promised by It's light
The faith and love that could not diei
BY stern parental laws beset
think we quite enjoyed our woe
That night when was Juliet
And you were Romeo.
Tonight we meet again, we two;
Great are the comedies Of life:
! chzperon my daughter, you
Yawn while you watch and wait your
wife.
! smile sereneiy at your frown,
You eiumber while we drive uptown,
Tonight, when you are Mr. Brown
And am Mrs. Brown.
