The average number of hits per game

season of 1910 was under 712. 80 WIN
an average of IL hits in all the games
of yesterday, it means the grand pat
ting average of the entire season OIL
1910.
The average number of runs scored
by each team per game In the DIG
leagues during the 1910 season was I'M
der four. The figure of 126 runs IN al!
big league games yesterday makes an
average of 1855 runs for each team OF
an increase of nearly 100 per cent
An explanation is offered in declar-
ing the ball used this year is liveier
than that of other years and the pail
players themselves generally belleNe
is is the reason. Outfielders have
been compelled to play deeper, for so
many balls are being hit over their
heads. This leaves a greater opening
for base hits in front of them.
There has been a demand for more
batting in the game for several years
and numerous suggestions for changes
in the rules were offered but none
adopted Now it seems the manufac-
turers of the baseball have uncon-
sciously solved the problem by making
the cork center instead of the rubber
center baseball. Undoubtedly the ball
is more active, for it is contended there
could hardly have been the general de-
cline in pitching and fielding or the
general increase in batting strength the
games SO far this year would show.
