GIVE BATTER SACRIFICE
When He Scores RUNNER from Third
on a Long Fly.

Harry Pulliam. president of the National
League, thinks II is an injustice to a bat
ter who brings in a run from third base
on a long fly TO the outfield to charge him
with a time at bat. This very play often
wins games fully as much as a base hit,
and Pulliam says he will advocate a
change in the rule whereby a batter send
ing out such a fly or a grounder so DIFF
ficult to handle that the play cannot be
made at the plate shall be exempt from a
time at bat. There are some players, -
he says. who always are sure to hit the
ball whom men are on bases. and frequently
win games by so doing; yet they get no
credit for what they have accomplished"
Pulliam thinks there should be 6, change
in the scoring system which would give
credit to the batter driving in runs. So
do n good many others. The idea is not
new, the suggestion having gone further
and advocated credit to batters to advance
runners on the bases-from first to second
and from second to third as well as from
third home.
Reform in the pitching rules is another
change advocated by Pulliam. He is OPP
posed to allowing the pitchers box to be
raised above the level of the diamond.
1.-THE pitchers box at the Polo Grounds
is on a level with the rest of the dia-
mond." he observes, land | maintain that
you get a correct line on the ability of
a pitcher on this ground, but not on any of
the Others

nounccd last night that the election of

sary for him to remain there three or four
weeks. His trouble has been diagnosed as
water On the back, and 1t has been found
necessary to strap him up tightly In order
that the water may be removed.
Jones's back was first Injured in the
Yale Harvard game a year ago. and the
strain he received at Cambridge November
% is really the reopening of an old wound.
He has written to his friends here that
his condition is in 10 way serious and that
he will fully recover in a month. He is
the Yale baseball captain for the coming
year. and he expects to call out the can
didates In January.

aging 1OSz

William Weingarth showed a flash of his
old-time form in the Greater New York
and intercity championships tournament
series with Alec Dunbar, of New York, on
the Tuxedo alleys, last night. The local
bowler won six out of eight games, aver
aged 20S.7 and twice passed the 260 mark.
II required big scores to turn the trick,
for the Manhattan pin knight was there
with an average of 1888. In one of the
games he was beaten by only two pins
and in another by seven.
Dunbar won the opening heat, 1911 to IFS,
but Weingarth squared accounts in the sec
ond, nosing out his opponent. 40 TO 16S.
Up to that time the pinning had not been
sensational, but things began to hum In
the third game. "Weiny'' came along with
26 in the third. Even hat tally was only
twenty-five pins better than Dunbar's s.
The local man took the fourth, 235 to 20s.
1t was in the fifth that he reached his
total of 26S. Dunbar got away with the
sixth, but Weingarth landed the following
two games, clinching the series.

The weekly game of indoor baseball at
the Colosseum will be between the Lin
coins and Company c, of the First Regi-
ment. Saturday night. This game will be
of great interest to the followers of the
sport, as it will give them an inkling as
to the comparative merits of the teams.
The soldiers have defeated most all the
other mines in the regiment and have yet
to taste their first defeat. The Lincolns
have just as good a record, having lowered
the colors of all clubs that have faced
them.
The game will be started at $40 o'clock,
as 1t is the intention of the management to
try to play a double-header the following
week. If 1t is seen that the games can be
played in the allotted time.
