 Mono Better Than Mstty.
 That question was somewhat of a stump for the young ball players. but they admitted that they did believe the game would produce a better man than
 aThen,s said Latham. with an air of triumph in his voice. why do you laugh when I tell you that the game has never produced a better hitter than Anson? I tell you if Anson was in the game today he would hit just as well course, he would have to get onto the new style of curve balls, but with his eyes and strength he would have as much chance of solving the pitching question as anybody else
 Speed Easier Than Curves.
 sIs don't think there is any doubt" said George Gore. but that the hitting would be improved if the pitcher was moved nearer to the batter. It is much easier to learn to hit speed than curves. If the batter was within fifty feet of the pitcher he could run up and hit the curves before they broke"
 4The only thing that would trouble the old time batters,n added Latham, would be the slow ball. In our day the pitchers did not put much faith in a slow ball. They were afraid to use 1t. I think the slow ball one of a batter and that is one of the things that makes Matty and Miner Brown great pitchers. They are not afraid to throw slow ball and they get away with it. Change of pace is better to get batter's goat than curves"

 TEN FETT NEARER.
Old Timers Claim This Would Improve
 Present Day Batting.

Several old time ball players, among whom are Pop Anson, Arlie Latham, Johnny Ward, George Gore and Jack Doyle, are behind the plan to move the pitcher up closer, and they insist that hitting would be improved.
 The old timers, to a man. agree that the batting would be improved if the pitcher was put nearer the plate, but some of the younger set are inclined to disagree with them. Fifteen years ago the, pitchers box was fifty feet from the plate, and to increase the batting the rules committee moved it back to sixty feet or whereabouts. In stead of increased hitting. the base ball world found that hitting had been decreased. Notwiths landing that fact, the distance has not been changed for moro than decade. Now some of the old timers are proposing to move the pitcher ten feet nearer the plate.
 Better Hitters in Old Days.
 There was an extemporane6us meet ing held recently at McGraw's place. and among those who took part in a discussion of the matter were McGraw. Latham, Larry Doyls. Chief Meyers and Harry Sparrow.
 The records show that we had bet ter hitters in the old days tffan they have now" said Latham, ttand I attrib- ute it entirely to the fact that the pitchers of today have to throw the ball distance of sixty feet instead of fifty. The old hitters who didn't con slider it extraordinary to hit $50 in the days gone by would not be able to hit any better today than the present stars. They would not have to hit so much speed. but would ba faced by curved balls. There is no question in my mind but that the pitching is better today than it was fifteen years ago. The pitchers have more chance to de- velop curves. The peculiar breaks and shoots that fool batters at a distance of sixty feet would be of little effect at fifty feet.
 Rusie One of Few Curves.
 Tn the old days" went on Latham, such batters as Dan Brouthers, Pop Anson and George Gore hit at speed, and nothing else. Among the few pitchers who could make a ball break fast at the plate fin those days was Amos Rusie, and he was a bear. In ad = dition to his speed, he had that quick him 8 great pitcher. John Clarkson was another"
 Well, do you think that the ball players of that day were as good as those of today?" asked Chief Meyers
 Certainly they were," replied La tham, but they had to face diff ferent kind of pitching. don't think there was ever a pitcher who knew as much about the art as Mathewson and in answer to you fellows who laugh at us about what we did twenty years ago I want to ask you: Do you think that in twenty-five years from
