AGITATION AGAINST
THE SACRIFICE HIT
Question Will Undoubtedly
Come Up at Next Meeting
of Rules Committee.

Many baseball men-club owners,
managers and pIayers-are urging the
rulemakers of the big leagues to cut out
the sacrifice hit. This agitation may not
amount 20 anything but Il IS bound TO
meet with the support Of a large ma
jority of the fans.
There is no doubt whatever that the
sacrifice hit has done more TO cut down
the batting that the fans yearn for,
than all other causes combined.
It CRATES on the nerves Of the fans to
see batters like LajOie. Cobb and Speak
or called on 10 sacrifice when the
chances are almost as good that they
win hit safely as that they will advance
the runner.
How many times iu a season is a star

measly fly 20 a pitcher or force the
runner
Sacrifice hitting is scientific ball play

in mind OF placing the bah safe. as bat
