LAST YEAR OF
THE CINCINNATI

Indications are that the so-called
Cincinnati base hit will be disposed
of during the winter, when there
will be a special meeting of two mag
mates, two active managers and two
newspaper men to revise the rules.
The reason for giving fielder's
choice a hit has never been seen
by the writer, and It was never done
hereabouts until President Carpenter
made it obligatory upon official scor-
ers. 1t is believed that where there
is a play at a place other than first
base and the man is not caught and
there is some doubt as to whether
the batter could have been put out
the batter should be credited with a
hit. Certainly scorer should be
allowed 10 use some discretion, but
the rule concerning the Rhineland
bingle did not allow of it. Even
players. who are always looking for
hits, realize the injustice Of the rule
concerning this score-book hit.
