FOUL STRIKE RULE
CAUSING TROUBLE
Lovers of BASEBALL File Protests
and Want it Changed.

While baseball writer's and the press
~ general have practically ignored aglta-
ton for or against the foul strike rule
since its continuation was finally de-
cided upon last winter, SAYS the Chicago
tribune, the baseball public does NOS
seem Inclined TO let the subject rest in
peace. Recently many letters have been
written 20 club owners and newspapers
throughout the country protesting
against the dearth of the old time hitting
games. and the consequent lack of inter-
est Tor TIE lovers of that class of dla-
mond contests. Many OF these place the
blame on the foul strike rule and ask 1Or
its repeal.
The deal of all baseball writer's,
Henry Chadwick in his most recent let
ter for publication expresses the UNI
qualified opinion that this VIII be the
last year of the foul strike rule, as il
has already been discarded by most Of
the organizations In the east, which are
not controlled by the national agree
mGEt.
Arguments for OF against the reten-
ton OF the foul strike can be repeated
by the column, without raising q point
not already argued to death, but the
fact remains that there is need of some
legislation to overcome the handicap
which the pitcher has over the batter
IN the games Of the present day. This
is on the assumption that the baseball
promoters do not care to estrange the
great mass or supporters VINO reYel IN
the "Old fashioned double score games
and cater only to those VINO enjoy moth
ing except a mot hit, no rum game.
Each year finds the pitcher assuming
greater mastery, and the records of the
present baseball season TO date furnish
some food for reflection. Up to the mid
die Of June, 1903, there mas been fifty
four shutout games in the American ana
National leagues. For the same period
this year there have been StNty-tlve
WhiteWashes in the same leagues, an in
crease of over 20 per cent In the pitching
supremacy
Previous to June is last year no
pitcher had shut a team out without
hit; this year there has been one such
game. Last year there were three one
hit games pitched before the middle OF
June; this year there have been five.
Last year in the same time there were
eight TWO hit games; this year there
have been sixteen of them. The ] to o
games up TO June u last scar numbered
seven in both leagues. Inis yedl they
numbered twelve These are eloquent
lacLs and the season Is on-E LaEun.
