As h football season draws to a close,
comparisons between Smiths team and
high Schools eleven seem to favor the
FORMER team. For the last two years
chances have seemed to favor Smith until
the decisive moment, but it was High
school that won the game.
This season will be the last time that
Smith meets High School as one team.
Next year. in all probability. three teams
VIII be on the field to represent High.
Both clevens will put forth their best ec-
forts to win. and Smith ooks to nave the
advantage here.
Smith Academy has a strong line. With
stanard at one end and Nolte in the CEN
ter, the front & n is really as formidable
rs that of some collegiate elevens of the
city. Curby is a good end man, but his
forte Is punting rather than getting
around or through the opposing line. =
1t may be that the game will 60 the
way OF previous years and that High
School will be returned the victor. But the
chances certainly seem to favor Smith
Academy somewhat. regardless of the re-
suit of yesterdays game against Blees.

WRITTEN FoR THE SUNDAY REPuBLIc.
The question Of the foul strike rule is
bound to come up for much dispute before
the beginning Of next season.
Over in Cleveland the Plain Dealer man
has been making war On this measure,
Ind 1t now appears as though his long
tight will have results.
Ever since the adoption Of the rule the
Cleveland people have stood In holy hor-
ror. and many OF them opine hat 1t il
this rule as much as the prowess Of the
Boston American team that kept the PEN
nant out Of their city this season.
That the foul-strike rule has its merits
goes without saying. 1t also has its de-
merits. n the opponents OF the rule
claim that the defects in the rule outnum-
Der the merttorious features.
The fact that batting in the American
League was not as heavy last season as
many of the patrons Of the game wished
to see It is accounted for by the oppo-
nents Of tho foul-strike rule. on the
ground that the pitcher, with this per-
nicious rule in his favor. has an undue ad-
vantage over the batter. In this conten-
ton they are right

the three outfielders of the Browns. were
undeniable sufferers from the rule. These
three men famed more times this season
than ever before in their career during one
season.
A fan who has watched them carefully
for many seasons is authority for the
statement that this brilliant trio of hit
ters famed more times last season than
they did any previous two seasons since
they began playing ball.
The fans want batting. The foul-strike
rule hurts batting. The fans support and
maintain the game. n their wishes
So-called pitchers battles are not pop
ular. Persons who pay to see baseball tire

There Is not enough action in this sort of
game to suit them. The slugger is the
man who wins their hearts. If there were
more sluggers, there would be no less
patrons.
FANS WANT MORE BATTING.
Hit 'er putt is the cry of the rooter.
He wants the ball slugged. The man who
can hit can have the sympathy Of the sup
porters Of the game. Anything that re-
tards hitting should be done away with.
and the foul-strike rule certainly reduces
the batter's chances, especially with pitch
ers such as the American League can
boast.
With either waddell. Donovan, Powell,
Sudhon, Young, Dineen, joss, Moore, Aul-
lin. Doctor White or Case Patten on the
firing line, the batter has enough natural
cunning and ability to contend against

without placing artificial handicaps on the
sticker.
The foul-striks rule hurts batting and
the game, but at the outmost the differ

out would not be ten minute more, and
the fan would enjoy these ten minutes If
he could be assured of a little lively stick
