Many baseball men favor the pro-
posed plan devised by 81. Louis man
for keeping baseball averages which
makes the figures show Just what a
players value to the team is. His plan
is to score by bases instead of hits. The
idea is 70 work out the averages so as
10 show more plainly than they do what
srtual execution toward winning a ball
game n batter has done. The plan Is
20 count, in figuring player s average
the number OF bases he makes on his
hits as well as the number OF bases
which be helps others 10 make. For
instance. PLAYER making n base would
get ono point But il there is n runner
on first when he makes his hit and
the runner advances 10 second the bat
ter gets credit for two bases, II the
runner reached third on the hit the
batter would get three bases, ono for
getting to first himself and two for
advancing tho runner from first 10
third 4 PLAYER making home run
would get four bases. II tho bases
were full. he would get credit for ten
bases. four for himself. three for the
man who went home from first, two
for the runner who scored from see
and and one for the runner on third.
