CONNIE MACK WOULD GIVE
BATTER AN EXTRA STRIKE
Thinks Game Would be Improved
By Making Conditions More
Favorable
REMOVE FOUL-STRIKE RULE

Connie Mack would like to see a lit
tie more hitting and he thinks the best
way to bring il about would be to
give the batsman four chances TO hit
the ball in place of three. Four and
cour. Con. holds, 1t would be more eff
fective in placing the batsman on an
equal footing with the pitcher than
any other change that could safely be
made unless 1t be to abandon the rule
which calls a strike on a batsman for
foulng a ball. To make both these
changes would surely result i'm more
hitting and fewer shut-outs. The foul
strike rule was adopted for the pur-
pose of topping the practice OF foul
Ing off good balls for the purpose of
getting first on called balls.
Now the umpire calls strike for the
first two fouls, even though they be
made on hard swings at the ball with
the unmistakable intent OF hitting II.
This rule not only handicaps the bats
man in his chances of hitting safely,
but it is likewise a handicap to inside
Wall, par viz eAaN 49,
game. A batsman is inclined to feel
timid about throwing away chances to
hit when he knows that a strike will
be called on him every time he
touches the ball with his bat.
Manager Mack says that while he
was opposed to the adoption of the
foul strike rule he has grown to like
It, and Is not sure that it would be
good thing to change. Even the star
pitchers are so much oftener off from
than at their very best that managers
naturally worry most about their lack
Of condition. With the rules as they
are club owners feel IL necessary to
carry at least five first-class pitchers
i'm order to guard against injuries, and
also several more experiments who
give promise of making great pitchers
some day. As manager. Mack thinks
the pitching problem hard enough to
solve as IL is, but as an owner he rec
oognizes that more hitting Is desir-
able. A return to the high and low
ball rule of the pastshe thinks would
give INC too niuNh ohN
and kill the effectiveness of some
pitchers. He thinks other methods to
increase hitting should be tried before
resorting n tho high ana low ball plan
Four strikes and four balls he consid-
ers the safest and best proposition
Notwithstanding the fact that 1T means
a change in n rule that Is as old as
baseball. "Three strikes and out has
withstood every attack on the rules
since the origin of the game. ranking
in this respect with the dimensions OF
the diamond. which have also remain
ed the same since the very beginning.
Giving an added strike to every bats
man would lengthen the game little,
particularly should 1t have the desired
effect of increasing the hitting so II
might be well at the same time to
speed up the play in some other re-
spectc.
