NEW YORK, Feb. o.-At a recent meet
ing OF the Briarcliffe trophy committee an
other change was made in the rules for the
automobile road race this year. 1t is now
planned to make the rules practically the
same as they were before the last change.
The provisions must receive the approval
of Walter W. Law, the donor OF the trophy
before they may be finally adopted.
After considerable talking a majority OF
those present agreed that the bore for 4
cylinder sngines should be set at 5% inches
which was the bore limit for the first Brsr.
cliffe race, last spring in Westchester
county. II was also decided not to include
any minimum or maximum wheel base limit
in the rules, leaving this TO be settled by
the makers who enter cars for the con-
test.
The most recently adopted rules for the
race had provided for a bore limit of ~
inches n a 6-inch stroke for 4-cylinder
engines, a minimum weight limit Of 2,9O
pounds and a wheel base of IFS inches. The
J lrule that required ten or more cars TO b
ready before last years race was not in
cluded in this years conditions. A reso-
luton was passed asking Mr.. Law to ap-
prove the new rules.

RECORDS OF NOTED BATTERS
Performed Feats with the Stick for
Consecutive Seasons.
ANsON LONGEST IN THE LEAD
ChicasOsn Had several 400 Averages
I'm n Row and Jesse Burketh
wagner, keeIer and Others
Have Reached 400 Mark.

There haven't been any 400 per cent hit
ters in base ball since the foul strike rule
went into effect, which was in 1901 in the
National league and 1908 in the American
league. Two things that have made bat
ting more difficult In recent years are the
foul strike rule and the spit ball, and be-
fore their day there were changes in the
rules, such as reducing the numbe of
balls, that had their effect. Sc the day OF
the 400 hitter is past. unless present condi-
tions of batting and pitching are changed.
Big league batsmen who have laid against
the ball for a record of 400 or better for a
seasons work are comparatively scarce
for all time. Since 1871 there have been
twenty-nine OF them. as follows: National
league-Anson twice. B~routhers, Barnes
three times), Burkett dhree tines, Fred
Clarke, Ed Delehanty twice. Charles Fer
guson. Keller. Meyerle, Stencil, Turner.
Duffy, Thompson Ctwice). Jim White and
George Wright. American association
Browning. Burch. Burns Baltimore), Car
ruthers, Esterbrook, d.. Mack, Tip o'Neil.
Orr. Radford. Yank Robinson, renny Lyons
and Stovey twice.. American league-La-
jole. Union Observation-Disclosures.
The 400 hitters sim left In active big
league harness are Clarke, Lajoie and
Keller. Had Hans Wagner and Ty Cobb
been playing when 400 batting was pos
sible there isn't any doubt that they would
have reached that f~igure-they together
with one or two others, such as Sam
Crawford and Mike Donlin. Ross Barnes
and Jesse Burkett are the only two players
who ever batted 400 three times and the
only two who ever did so in two con-
s~ecutive seasons.
Modern Schedules Are Larger
There is this much TO be said of the
modern batters, they have longer sched-
ules to go against that the old timers had,
and that initiates against their hitting in
view of the more difficult conditions.
Whether the fact of the pitcher being fur
Their back than he used to be is a help to
the batters is a mooted question. There
are those who say it makes the pitching
harder to gauge and those who say IL
makes it easier.
In point of general percentage among the
great batters Of the past and present whose
records are available Burkett, the little
thick set chap who swatted left handed
and used to be such a terror to boxmen,
tops all the rest. A study of his record
and that of other stickers who did wonders
at years of consecutive hard hitting is
worthy of study. From 1893 to 1902 Burkett
bstted steadily in the 800 class nine of the
years in the National league and one in the
American. Here are his figures in the
| order in which he made them: .372. 1851,
AZ. 40, .SSs, .S45. 400, $3.50, 1882 and .3Os.

Lajoie made a total of 100 hits in the
ten years in which he fiayed the ball con-
%secutiyely at a 300 clip. He has been up
in the 300 mark four times in that period.
Wagner got UP there twice, Burkett six
times and Keller eight times. Lajoie's hits
were mad in the following order:
1897, 1888; 1895, 300; 1899, III; 1900, 1856; 1901
29O; 1902, l2s; 1903, 17s; 1904, nj; 1906, 50: 1906

The 50 hits for 1906 are accounted for by
the fact that Lajole was hurt that season
and out of the game for a good while.

T would not be possible to find in the
present generation Of ball players two
men who rave been more insolent in
n their disregard for the laws of the
game than Hal Chase and Jake Wei
mer. IL must be encouraging, therefore, to
the pillars of the game to behold the levity
with which the highest tribunal OF base ball
lifts the embargo and bids these two out
laws come back and take their places be-
side the men who have obeyed the law and
observed their contracts. When Jake Wei
mer was traded by Chicago to Cincinnati he
balked and finally quit the game rather
than 20 where he was sent. He took up
with the outlaws, and when firing of this
course, applied for reinstatement. He got
IL. Then when Cincinnati sold him to New
York he baked again and quit the game
because his viii could not have sway. Tir-
ing again Of being an outcast he applied
once more for reinstatement. He got it.
Hal Chase has been a n obstreperous, peev-
ism baby always; it is not possible to emu
merate the times he has jumped the traces
or threatened 10. He simply has been a
spoiled child all the time. The National
commission may have acted generously to-
ward these two fellows, but how has 1t
acted toward tina larger number of play
ETS Nnu " Ou1p o Jaw
desires, and how has It acted toward the
laws IL is supposed to dignity by enforce
ment? The commissions action can be con-
strued as nothing II not a ~cheapening OF
every rule of the game. Moreover 1t sets
a precedent that Is menacing in its aspect
and influence. 1t could have done a much
better service to the game and every in
terest OF the game by holding these two re-
caIcitrants to a strict accountability OF their
flagran violation OF the laws OF base ball.
The nominal fines imposed by the commits
sion on these men are simply not to be re-
garded in this connection. II base ball law
should apply at all 1t should apply to the
stars OF the game. The commission must
not fret il the impression goes abroad that
had Chase and Weimer been less notable
players they would have Jared differently.
And the chances are IL the Weimer case
had been up alone he would have gone an
other route but fortunate for him the
petted Chase had to be dealt with stimuli
~taneously.

The warning sounded by The Bee in its
sporting department against hippodroming
in wrestling at the Auditorium may be re-
called now by those who have promoted the
matches here as having had rather a timely
application. In the first place-all the pro-
f~esslonal managers from abroad to the con-
trary Observation-Disclosures sports were
fouled when Jess westergaard was showed
aside forSthe big hulk of meat from France,
and that is what called forth the warning.
So far as the actual wrestling OF de Rouen
and goes. 1t was such as not to
deserve any consideration. The point is,
Manager Gillian threw down the bars to a
lot Of professional promoters from Chicago
and the Omaha sports paid the freight.
These promoters are the kind of chaps
who would put any game in disrepute. 1t
was a rank piece of business TO advertise
the match as a finish contest and then,
after getting the people inside the Audi
forum. announce a handicap. whenever
Manager Gillian takes the reins in his own
hands and makes clear, specific terms with
the wrestlers and holds them to those
terms then and not TIL then will he get
clean results. Had he gone on in the reg
ular way with the Observation-Disclosures
match, made when Westergaard accepted
the challenge of the Turk at the Wester-
gaard-de Rouen match, all difficulty could
have been avoided.

Bis Ed Walsh is fighting Comiskey for

It Is probable his team would have finished

that he was acting unwisely to do all the
work, but he persisted and achieved one
of the really great triumphs In the history
of base ball by pitching over sixty games
and winning the large majority of them.
Chances are II Commy had tackled on a

fall and made the sum total his salary
