to bat in the pitchers place-thus re-
lieving the twirlers from all batting
and base running duties, has it's mer-
its, no doubt. 1 wouldn's want to say
that this plan is not a good one, al
though the clubs even now are carry
ing about all the meen they can afford
to.
The suggestion about the adoption
of bigger bat is. l think, wholly i'm
practical. The bat may be an inoh or
even three inches wide. let US. say. but
the ball must be met in the center of
the bat il it is to be hit safely. 1t is
often forgotten that Duffy, Keller and
McGraw did all their great hitting with
small sticks When Duffy set the
worlds batting average for season
at ABB. in 1894. he used one of the
smallest bats ever swung at a ball.
The same is true of Keeler when he
batted AIT in 1897 and 1857 in 1898. The
batting averages. It's the man behind
the bat that really counts.
also is the plan to increase the size
and weight of the ball, or to invest IT
with more rubber, to my way OF think
ing, impractical. The ball is hard
enough to handle now. OF course, the
general public does not understand
but the players do-that many of the
balls in use this year have been very
bad Savagely hit six or seven times
in a row. they would become lopsided.
Hundreds of them have been thrown
out as useless this season after two or
three innings of service. Thousands
of fans fail to appreciate the fact that
the main reason why there are so few
300 and $50 hitters in the big leagues
today is that the foul strike rule--un-
known in the sos and 90s-is now in
operation. Lots of opposition to the
rnle has been shown from time to time,
but it was a wise bit of legislation.
1t stopped a lot of monkey shines on
the part of the bstters and it gave the
fans a chance to get home to a hot
supper After ALL. it is quite probable
thai the one and the only way to in
crease the number of base hits is to go
out and get hitters.

Philadelphia, Oct 24.-The Ameri-
can league and worlds champions
reached home from their victorious
trip to Chicago a few minutes after 5
O'Clock this evening and were given
a rousing reception by crushing
crowd of baseball fans, headed by
Mayor Reyburn.
Although extra precautions had been
taken to prevent the crowd from en-
tering the Pennsylvania railroad sta
ton, the Athletic rooters outgeneral-
ed the RAILROAD officials. Huge gates
had been erected at the entrances to
Broad street station and no person
was allowed to reach the train floor
who did not have a railroad ticket.
Not to be Outdone by this piece OF
strategy, hundreds of the most ardent
admirers of the champions lined up
at the ticket windows and purchased
tickets to nearby stations, thereby out
whiting the railroad officials and at
the same time crowding the big sta
ton to OVERLOOKING.
300 Policemen to Keep Crowd Back
A hurry call was sent to nearby po-
lice stations and about 500 policemen
were soon on the scene and kept the
crowd back from the entrances. when
the train pulled into the station the
players had to almost fight their way
TO the street. Here in waiting were
twenty automobiles. the First regi-
ment band of this city, and crowd
that stretched for a block in every di-
rectiOn.
Headed by Mayor Reyburn, the
players We're escorted to the Bellevue
Stratford hotel, Connie Mack riding in
the automobile which won a recent
two hundred mile race in Paramount
park.
The players We're entertained at a
dinner which lasted until o'clock,
when the victors were taken to To-
cal theateT. Here they attracted in
fnitely more attention than did the
actors.

Several Changes on Team.

New Haven, Oct. 24-The coaches
made several changes in the lineup
of the Yale varsity team for the aft
ernoon practice today, though no per-
sonal criticism was made for the fail
ure of the team to score against Van

been playing fullback, was put on the
scrub team, his place being taken by
Baker, who proved to be one of the
most consistent ground gamers in Sat
urday's game. Brooks replaced Van
Sinderen at end and Francis took
Childs' place at guard. Paul, who in
jured his shoulder In the Vanderbilt
game, was temporarily replaced by
Tomlinson. Several new coaches were
expected during the week and the
