Advocates of the Proposed
Change.

New York, Dec. 9.-Many changes
in the baseball rules will be advocated
at the meetings next week of the two
major leagues, chief of them being
one that will permit batter to walk
on three balls, and the revival of the
earned run in making up box scores.
Advocates of the base-on-three-balls
plan are strong in both the American
and National Leagues, and they al
lege that many pitchers now purposely
pitch one or two balls to every bats
man, or even three balls in succession
If it is necessary to stop base run
ner or break hit-and-run play.
A reduction to three balls would
