TO ABOLISH SPIKJNG
BaSe-runnerS May Be Ordered
to Slide Head First.
ONLY SOLUTION IS THE CLAIM
Big Leagues VIII Consider Seriously
Suggestion by Secretary barnard,
of Cleveland CIub-Manasers Likely
TO Welcome Any Plan Towards
ABOIishing Spike Evil.

New York, Nov l9.-When the magnates
Of the American and the National leagues
meet here next month one OF the impor-
tant matters to be discussed prior 90 pos
sible legislation is the wearing OF spiked
shoes. which has gradually become an
evil that cannot be further overlooked.
During the last season many players
were spiked and rendered incapable OF
work for weeks just when their services
were needed most. and in some cases
the spilting was attributed TO deliberate
attempts 20 disable teams that were fac
tors In the pennant races.
Suggestions that would substitute cleats
or rubber knobs on the soles OF the
shoes have been frequently made, but
experts have always declared such things
imprscticable
But now comes an entirely new idea
from Secretary Barnard, OF the Cleveland
Americans. which. it is said. may receive
much consideration. Barnard SAYS that
spildng can be entirely prevented by
making the base runners slide head first
instead or feet first They declare that
a rule can be passed making this COM
pulsory and that il can be stipulated
that when a baseman blocks a base-run-
ner by standing directly IN the base-path.
the runner shall be called safe. Barnard
points out the fact that basemen can
easily tag base stealers who slide head
first by standing near the bag or on
the base-line and that collisions are I'm
possible unless players purposely indulge
in them
Head-frSt sliding IS NOT new in base
ball Many base-runners have tried II
successfully in the past. and especially
IN the colleges and schools. and Barnard
argues that the practice can easily be
made universal In order 70 prevent feet
first sliding, Barnard says that every
runner who went into a bag that way
should be declared out by tho field UNI
pire, whether he reached the bag IN
safety or not
In order 10 prevent possible injuries,
the Cleveland man states that the run
ners, IN sliding head first. could wear
gloves extending 20 the elbows. and also
pads on the hips and thighs. which would
make the slide practically safe.
Many OF the club owners who have dis
cussed this plan appear 20 regard it as
solution Of the trouble. and they are
now consulting their managers and play
ers with the idea OF finding their views.
There Is no doubt that magnates and
managers W Id welcome any plan that
might remove the chances for injuries
from spilSing. and that II Barnard's sug-
gestion meets with favor Il may be tried
for time, at least, next season.
