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 wrangle that arose

the time his winning streak was
attracting much attention suggests
that the matter of deciding when 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 a
former manager as follows:
Credit the pitcher who is re
neNed with a lost game whether
game is won or lost
Credit the one who relieves him
with won game il won or "A lost
game If same is lost

The whole matter of scoring needs
