Although base bail reformers have been
carrying on crusade against sharp
spikes for several years. the big leagues
refused to cons der proposed changes at
the recent meetings. New tangled devices
have been invented with the idea of pre-
venting serious injuries. but the mag
mates have pronounced them impossible
The rule makers when asked about the
matter said that to change the present
spike for one less harmful would deprive
the game of too much speed and dash.
Charles A. Comisltey of the Chicago
White Sox, for instance. declared recently
that base bal as 1t is played today is
anything but rough and that the use Of
dull spikes or knobs on the soles of shoes
would make 1t a parlor game. He showed
that without sharp spikes base runners
could not start and stop quickly, while
players would not be able to cover the
same amount of ground as under the
present conditions. Comiskey also point
ed to the fact that considering the army

Catcher Billy Sullivan of the White Sox

Arthur Irwin, the 1Iighanders' scout,
has 1t figured that the New York team
will beat out the Athletics this year. be-
cause he predicts that Bender and Plank

nothing about the work of either of these
l;tchers last xeason to, justify the belief
that the coming season is to be poor

of twenty-eight games and led the league
tw.rlers by healthy margin. Piani
pitched in twenty-six games and won X
, teen of them. Not SO rad for a pair OF
pitchers who are going back.
Bu: then, Irwin must not be taken seri-
ousIy when he talks about matters III
which the Highlanders are concerned. He
is very strong for that outfit and Ee-

that New York can win a pennant causes
him to cast as &c hi- good Judgment.
Irwin has been tangled up with base
ball too long to believe that ball games
can pc won anywhere but on the ball
field, and when he predicts the downfall
of the Athletics he is really only express

There is not much chance for any OF
the other teams to beat out Macks team
unless some such calamity as having a
few Of the star pitchers fall down should
overtake the champions. And even then
it would not be a ciDch, for Mack seems

contingency.
