American League President
Will Garry Out The Times
Suggestion.
FANS WILL KNOW
WHO is PLAYING
Clubs Must Adopt Some System
of Keeping Score Cards
Straight.
Bv THOMAS s. RICE.

President Ban B. Johnson, of the
American League. has renewed his
promise made to the writer last sum
Iner that he would take up at the Amer
lean League meeting in New York next
Wednesday, the question of seeing that
patrons Of American League games are
furnished with some method OF idenu-
flying men in the game
It was pointed out to Mr.. Johnson
that the present scorecards are not only
worthless, but actually n fraud on the
public in that half the time they give
an entirely different lineup from that
which appears on the field. It was also
urged that some sort of official an
nouncement be made, every time a new
man took a hand in the game after it
started. Mr.. johnson said he would
make this uch-needed reform a special
order Of business at the next league
meeting. and he has now renewed that
obligation upon complaint Of Chicago
fan. Cy SanbOrn, in the Chicago Trib-
une has this to say about it;
President johnson intends to take up
with the club owners Of his circuit the
practical necessity Of providing more
complete and elaborate scOreboards for
the enlightenment Of the spectators
particularly in the matter Of the identity
Of the players. A veteran fan backed
up the suggestion like this:
Although 1 am a regular patron Of
both clubs. and see an average Of two
games a week, / do not learn the identi-
ties OF all the players, particularly on
the visiting teams Before the teams
carried twenty or twenty-five players on
their lists IL was different We knew
them all. but now, after you have in
QJ1red and leArned ne makeup of 10th
teams at the start, half of them may be
changed before the game is over.
Cards Are Valueless.
THE score cards are vaIueIess IN such
cases, as a rule, and If there is a big
crowd with a lot Of noise the umpire's
announcements are equally useless.
What we want is a big sCorebOard. on
which viii appear the names of the
players and their positions, ARRANGED In
the batting order, and some one to
change these names as fast as changes
are made in the teams.
