LUCAS SUGGESTS
ANOTHER RULE

w II. Lucas, president of the North
western League, has written to Presi-
dent Puuliam of a change in the play
ing rules he would like TO have laid
before the rules committee at its meet
ing next month. The idea originated
with Ed Dugdale. the old time catcher,
and Is as follows:
Whenever bases are unoccupied, the
pitcher shall be required TO deliver the
first two balls pitched TO each batter
perfectly straight. and no curve or spit
ball to be allowed, and same TO be
judged by the umpire. For any in
fringement on this rule the umpire is
TO penalize the pitcher delivering a
curve or spit ball by calling same a
''balr' regardless Of its going over the
plate.
President Pulliam will submit the
suggestion.
The National League president has
employed personal counsel to advise
him when necessary on matters per.
/ tanning to his duties as president OF
the league. 1t appears that he was
authorized 10 do so by the board OF
directors ut the National League meet
ing here in December Mr.. Pulliam's
attorney is Charles w. Sinnott, who
used To be a bin player himself. He
was q southpaw pitcher at Fordham
College several years ago.

Of sermon by the Rev. DR.. II. w.
