A few of the most promising

Fans Last Chance to See 1912
Crackers; Brace With Lookouts

there will always be some doubts
about the honesty Of the race when
one team wins in one half and
one wins in another. And quite
probably these split seasons are
inimical to the best interests of
baseball
T HE long wranele that arose
over the question of whether
o. not Walter Johnson should have
been credited with a game won at
the time his winning streak was
attracting much attention suggests
that the matter OF deciding when a
pitcher should be credited with a
game and when he should not
ought to be set down in the rule
book 1t is ridiculous that each
league has a rule of its own to de-
side this
A suggestion has been made by
former manager as follows:
Credit the pitcher who is re,
lioVcd with a lost game whether
game is won or lost
Credit the one who relieves him
with a won game If won or a lost
game If same is lost
This matter may be gone into
from many angles, but offer the
above as falrest to all concerned,
and think It would have n tenden-
cN O make each pitcher extend
himse If he knew the matter
resteo wholly with him
A lot Of rules ought to be in the
regular code that are not there.
The whole matter of scoring needs
TO be Strengthened out At present
the scoring rules are a crime. This
association of baseball writer's
ought to take the matter up and
suggest changes
If nothing is done by the ma
tional bodies in regard to change
in the method of crediting pitchers
With games won and lost the
Southern league ought to consider
the matter at its next meeting and
should decide on some more rea
sonable and equitable method than
the one now in use in Dixie
