Lack of Hitting i'm Major Leagues
moQoQoqaoQQQ0o

No runs were scored by the losing
teams in five of the seven major
league games played Thursday. In
the, sixth game but one run was made,
and In the other only two. again It
impresses one most decidedly that
the game is languishing as game
for lack of hitting. Well it is re.
membered what strong opposition was
made by the American League when
the foul-strike rule was urged. The
retort always is that the attendance
al the games never was as good as
II Is at the present time. That may
be true, but there Is a great hue and
cry against the game owing to the
paucity of hitting All the legislation
mas been In the direction of reducing
the run.getting to minimum. In the
last visit of the western clubs of the
National League to the east Pittsburg
won three games from Brooklyn. and
all were shut-outs. Brooklyn has been
shut out eleven times this season.
and this in itself is enough to show
that there Is not enough hitting In the
game and that something ought to be
done to remedy this defect. 1t will
be remembered that there was no
cutlery in the American League for
