TO INCREASE
BATTING RECORDS
George Tebeau FaVOrS Larger
Ball, Larger Bat and Keep
Pitchers on Bench

George Tebeau has three suggestions
TO make to the baseball rules COM
mittee to increase batting. Tebeau's
suggestions are:
First-Increase the size Of the ball.
Second-Increase the size Of the bat,
It's thickness / mean.
Third-Let a bench batter hit and
run bases for the pitcher.
THE rules say the ball shall weigh
not more than five and one-quarter
ounces and shall measure not more
than nine and one-quarter inches in
circumference. The moment you in
crease these dimensions you put
big handicap on the pitchers. Add
half an inch to the circumference Of
the ball, and the pitcher can't give
It that sharp, quick-breaking curve
that he does to-day. Il will also cut
down the twirler's speed.
THE bigger ball will be hit much more
often. and will be much harder to
throw 70 first ahead OF the base rum
ner. It generally happens that
man trying to steal is out by Just a
fraction Of a second. If the catcher
had to handle a larger ball the base
runner would often be safe where he
plan, and it's base running almost
as much as batting that the fans are
clamoring for.
THE rules say the bat must not be
over two and three-quarter inches
thick in the widest part. Why not
make it a half inch or even an inch
thicker? That would mean lot more
base hits in every game and base hits
are the things the fans are demand
ing M
Honestly, when one contemplstes
the present size of tle ball and bat
and the speed used by the big pitch
ors OF today. it Is q wonder that there
are any 800 per cent hiiters in the
big leagues
1T is high time, too, that the rules
committee exempted the pitcher from
hit ing and base running duty. The
pitcher has to do four-nftls Of the
work performed by nine men. Why
! should he go to bat when there are
slways from Eve 20 ten husky sub
stitutes sitting on The bench.

Conference Of the big Eight
Colleges Of the West Votes
for Immediate Changes

CHICAGO, H.. Nov. 2O-Dangerous
football was voted Off the Western grid
iron map by the faculty representatives
of the big Eight colleges at their an
nual meeting yesterday.
The institutions unanimously disowned
the present style of the game, and took
steps to bring about immediate modifca-
ton Of the rules with a view to avoiding
fatalities and serious accidents.
Mr.. Stagg, the coach of the University
Of Chicago, a member of the last Foot
ball Rules Committee OF the United
states Intercollegiate Association, was
instructed to present the Vests attitude
at the next meeting Of the supreme body.
The representatives recommended no
especial changes, that question being left
with Mr.. Stagg.
The action Of the conference is a COM
plete backing up Of the University OF
Chicago attitude, that school having in
troduced the subject. The vote was re-
garded as a body blow to the game and
vigorous rebuke TO those football au-
thorities, who have expressed indiffer-
ence or impatience with the attempt to
lessen fatalities.
It is believed here that Eastern colleges
will follow the lead of the West. as it is
known that Mr.. Walter Camp Of Yale
distinctly favors notifications.
Il cannot say Just what suggestions
shall present TO the committee" said Mr.
Stagg, However, among them will be the
ones I recently announced, which include
changing the distance to be gained. ol
the downs; prohibiting pushing and pull
ing the runner, crawling with the ball
and changing the forward pass rules so a.
to make that feature more attractive.
1T is my opinion that the best thing foi
the game would be a large increase in The
number Of forward passes used The othei
suggestions, too. will help do away viii
mass plays. the most dangerous Of all thu
football tactics"
Mr.. staggs Views are In opposition L
those of Mr. George Hun. coach OF Iii

play would be more likely to result favor
