TWO RULES ARE SURE
TO IMPROVE BATTING
Modify Foul Strike and Pro-
vide a Bench Batter to Hit
for the Pitcher.

None of the propositions to increase bat
ting--now being considered by the club
owners-is likely to prove as effective as
would either one of two propositions that,
apparently. are not being considered at all.
writes Elmer Bates in the Cleveland
Leader. One of these is to SO modify the
foul strike rule as to exclude from its
provision the long drives just outside Of
fair territory. The other is to provide a
bench batter to hit for the pitcher.
There never was, isn't now and never
will be. one bona fide, legitimate argu-
ment against the bench batter; there are
a dozen sound arguments in its favor.
Now it is we'll known that there are
good many pitchers who freely admit that
they do not try for long hits. as they do
not wish to tire themselves out by rum
ming around the bases. The advent Of the
bench batter would put a quick stop to
| this kind of performance.
Very few twirlers can hit the ball with
any effect even if they are SO disposed.
Few more sorry spectacles are offered
/ than that of q pitcher at bat with the
! bases full; all the fans clamoring for a
! hit and some great big healthy extra
man" sitting idle on the bench.
! Almost every base ball team, big and
/ little, carries lot OF extra men now
adays. Many OF them never get a crack
at the ball except once In a long while
! In the ninth inning OF a game when they
! are sent up to bat for somebody or other
| in the hope that they will produce the
needed base hit.
With all these extra men on the bench
why should the pitcher bat at all? If base
hits are what the people want why not
provide them in the easiest possible way
by the adoption of this simple plan that in
wolves no revolution In the game, such as
| the three-ball' or "fOur-strike" scheme
| would necessarily bring about?
| Another convincing argument in favor
| of the bench batter RUE Is that its adop-
| ton would provide places for men not
| able to go the pace on the bases or in the
! field, hut still able to hit the ball There
are many such players In the land to
| whom the rule would be a veritabie boon
| Then, too. with bench batter in the
game all the time the club would not
need TO carry so many pitchers as they
do at present. II the man in the box had
nothing to do but to pitch he ought TO be
able TO go through a nine-inning game at
least twice q week.
| struggling with a whole lot of visionary
schemes that, If adopted. are likely to
prolong the game. increase the number
of bases on balls. give the batter back
MS chance to foul Off, fair balls and
bring about other undesirable results
The bench batter and the modified foul
strike rule would be sure to increase the
hitting and liven up the game.

Naturally. there must be a reason for
all this imperfection in foot ball officials
and it Is this reason that the rules COM

the running Of gridiron battles as smooth
and satisfactory as base ball games
They must remedy the defects Of the
present day code, providing for four of
ficia.s with varied duties, having no
governing body to suspend them for in
competency and unfairneSs. They must
provide some adequate means for insur-
game. and for compelling these men to
serve at certain set fees.
The best plan. would seem from ex-
perience to be the one followed in pro-
mittee should be appointed for the .pur-
pose of making appointments. This COM

tive men In the sport. and a secretary
should be provided to keep a record Of all

ices The officials to be selected should
be taken from the cream Of the present
officials of the country. and should be
guaranteed fee for their falls work ir
addition to expenses.
Then instead of each official being paid
at the end Of each game the money, in
GLIDING expenses. should be sent to the
governing committee, which would hold
part of 1t in reserve for fines until the
