the matter. However, he will see little of

DEMAND FOR MORE HITTING
PUT UP TO RULE MAKERS
No-t1it Games Do Not Please All the Fans
Bender Performance Against Cleveland
Most Marvellous Thing Ever Ac-
complished by Any Twirler.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 28.-When
a forty five thousan nd dollar ball team can
fail to make one safe hit in flfty-one
| times at bat it Is about time that some
thing should be done to help the bats
man. Bender shut out the Cleveland
team without hit or run in a full nine
inning game. and the next day Morgan,
also of the Athletics, held the Maps
down to absolutely nothing until two men
had been retired in the eighth inning,
thus making sixteen and two-thirds in
nings without hit.
Bender's was the second ''no-hit" game
in the American League this season. not
to mention numerous similar contests be-
tween less noted ball teams. On the day
that Bender shut out Cleveland there were
two other 'no-hit' games-one In the
Tri-State League and one between school
boys, demonstrating the truth of the
statement that the base ball pitcher of
today who is just right has entirely too
great an advantage over the batsman.
For more than sixteen innings Bender
and Morgan were unhittable to the Cleve-
land men. In their fifty-one turns at bat
twice batsman reached first base on
called balls, but not once was the ball
hit into safe territory. The good hitters
seemed just as helpless as the poor hit
tiers against these pitching stars. and the
procession to the plate and back to the
bench became mournful in the extreme.
Pleasing to Athletic Fans.
The fact that the Athletics were trounc-
ing a dangerous rival made the wonder
full work Of the home pitchers seem good
to the SPECTATORS, but they would not
have enjoyed it so much had the situation
been reversed. and they would have en-
joyed 1t even more than they did, with
the result the same, had there been more
hitting There is some glory over having
witnessed a "no-hit'' game. and the
matter which team wins. but the en-
5oyment is in telling about IT after it is
over rather than in witnessing the play,
which is necessarily uninteresting.
But while 1t is only natural to feel a
glow OF satisfaction over having been a
part OF any notable event. no one can
find any excuse for being fond Of the
near no-hit games. They are just plain
tiresome. especially If all possibility Of a
no-hit game has been killed by a safe
hit or two early in the contest. Then
the people have nothing to look forward
to except a shut-out, and If 1t happens
to be the home team that is being beaten
there is not much joy for the crowd. The
people wait ana watch Tor batting rail-
ly. and go home Disguised If none ma
terializes. All practical base ball men
admit that hitting is the life Of base ball.
and that all other interesting plays are
more or less dependent on clouting the
ball. and yet the rule makers hesitate
about making changes that will bring
about the desired result.
