any in the past years. The number OF
persons who attended on the three
days exceeded the number for the same
period last year.

THE reunion Of Confederate Veter-

of bringing a large crowd, for, as 1t has
been stated, there was double the at
tendance on that day over the usual
third day.

THREE BALLS FOR BASE;
REVIVE EARNED RUNS
Plans Considered by Big Leagues to
Increase Interest in National
Game.

Chicago, Oct. 29.-Reduction of
the number of called balls emitting
batsman to first base from four
balls to three and a revival of the
earned run are among the changes
being considered for the betterm ent
of baseball before another season
rolls around.
That the earned run will be re-
stored to official good standing as
a partial means of determining the
relative standing of pitchers in the
American league is practically as
sured. Whether or not il is brought
back to life in the National and other
organizations. the officials of the
American league will make the reviv-
al and can do so single handed De-
cause it is a matter affecting the of
fetal scoring and tabulation of
pitchers records, but not the play
ing rules.
The reduction of the amount Of
waiting a batsman will have to do to
get base on balls is a different prop
Osition, as it will require concurrent
action by both major leagues. As it
has strong advocates in the ranks of
both majors and was originally a
National league proposal it stands a
good chance of adoption, provided
the club owners decide the time is
ripe for so radical a change.
