man to be credited with a sacrifice
when he Intentionally bunts a ball, but
h fielder makes an error? Does a
player who throws a ball to a bag for
an out and gets the ball on the return,
completing a double play, get an assist
as well as a %put-out? Should a player
be charged with an error when he
makes a bad throw in trying to com
plete a double play, the runner not adj
vancing past first?
One of the greatest arguments for
this idea is the fact hat the present
way Of deciding who wins and who
loses "a game would be settled once
and for all, as the official scorer could
decide then who should be charged
with the victory or defeat. Is it right
to charge a man with a defeat in q
case like this: A pitcher becomes wild
and fills the bases on balls, making the
score a tie, with two out; a new man
goes in without any warming up, and
the first ball he pitches is hit for a
single, scoring the winning run. How
are the secretaries to know just how
that play came up? 1t is impossible to
keep an accurate account of the num-
Der of games pitchers win and lose,
because no one III can ueclue'
The official scorer is supposed to be
the judge, but one reads every day
that a pitcher is charged with q defeat
by the secretary of the league. but the
newspaper man who follows the game
carefully cannot tell this from the ac-
count of the game published any more
SO than the ordinary fan.
One could go on at length to show
that a change from the present methods
is very desirable, in fact, imperative.

The scoring of 4 baseball game by
the ordinary patron is generally a mat
ter of minor consideration, for all he
cares to know is how nan runs were
made, and he scores the game with an
20" for an out and Il Il" for a run and
let's it go at that. But to a sporting
editor who must write his account for
his paper from his scorebook II is an
altogether different thing.
How many sporting editors can take
their "Spalding'' and tell just how each
play was made and how the runs were
forwarded? Probably not 50 per cent.
of those who go to a game in an Off
cial n can do SO.
1t is no easy matter to score a ball
gam correctly, play for play. and at
the end read the account correctly from
your book. A man should be able to
read the score just the same as the
fans read his account the next morn
ing.
One of the reasons that there is not
more uniform scoring is from the fact
that there is not a uniform scoring sys-
TEN. Every man has his own idea of
how to score a play and how a play
should be scored. Among scorers n
often finds many young fellows who
have just graduated from school and
who in some way, certainly not from
the fact of knowing the angles of base
ball, have been selected to score the
games. They have an idea of how to
do it, but any more let's them out. Ask
half of them how so m so went Il
and how so and so scored and they
cannot tell you. Can one expect to find
an accurate account of a game from
such a source?
