BASEBALL BAT TO
SOLVE PROBLEM
viii Make the Game Far
Less Difficult to the
CatCherS

An application has been made at tho
Patent office for patent on baseball
bat which promises to solve tho problem
that is bothering the baseball world at
the present time by increasing the inter-
est and popularity Of tho national game.
Tho two principal advantages which are
claimed are:
First-That foul balls which now glance
off the round bat viii take a more per-
pendicular direction. enabling tho catcher
TO have opportunities 10 put out the bat
ter which he now lacks and incidentally
avoiding the annoying monotony OF
watching ball after ball disappear over
the grandstand. while the catcher dashes
into the boxes or against the net IN the
vain effort for an out.
Second-Increasing the chances Of hit
ting a fair ball. and with more precision
as 20 direction and distance. II Is evident
that a fiat surface even OF half an inch
will offer a much greater degree of cer-
tainty to tho batter than with the round
bat. where one point must meet the bali
I'm order TO drive It straight ahead: and.
similarly. II the BAN strikes above the
center of the bat the tendency will bo 10

TROUBLE WILL COME
FROM NEW CONTRACT

1t should not be forgotten that the
American League is going TO undertake
the novelty of sending its players n
contract that viii give the owners con-
troll OF their services or athletic work
for twelve months in the year. There is
going TO be a mighty howl over this
from some of the men who have made
good money i'm the oif-season by play
ing exhibition games. Those players
whose homes are In the South or on
the Pacific coast are especially prone
to this practice. and as Il nets them
many dollars they are likely TO strike
for an increase in wages 20 balance
the prospective losses OF next winter.
some of them will not get the increase,
but some will; there is going to be a
lot Of bubbling. boiling. and trouble
before the twelve-month contract be-
comes an accepted institution.
