Jack DOYLE, scout for the White Son,
and former plhying star and umpire,
following Ban Johnson declaration
that baseball is always opcn to criti
cism 10y the fans that would tend to
improve the sport has decided opinions
on the rules lie would change one max
ing it compulsory for pitcher TO put
the ball over or more strictly speaking
give the batsman sncc to hit tho
ball His proposed change would d,
away with pitchers purposcly walking
good bitter when Inc bases were uc-
cupicd TO take chance ON weaker
hitter to follow.
DOYLE SAYS: Patrons Of the game at
tend because they like TO sec action.
Hittcrs like ~ Cobb, Iris Speaker,
Wagner, laioic and Zimmerman draw
fans who want TO see them club the
ball When a pitcher deliberately walks
such men the fans are deprived of a
chance TO sec the Kind of action they
have paid their money for Imagine the
ppointmcnt when those sluggcrs are
denied tho right to takc a wallop at

~Aly idea of improving the game is TO
make Il optional With the batter wheth-
er he shall walk or have A chance TO

authority though. and prevent a pitcher
who Is facing a good hatsman from do

MISS HOLLENS
LEADS WOMEN
GOLFERS NOW

NEW YORK, Dee l5.--Womcn's golf
this season has been more interesting
than under ordinary circumstances, and
newcomers are revealed among the list
of leaders. Vhcn Miss Marion Hollins
worked her way down to the final round
OF the womcn's metropolitan champion
ship a year ago last June az Englcwood,
she was pronounced forthwith the COM
ing champion. II will be recalled that
SIC failed IA quest Of championship
honors on chat occasion. falling before
Mrs Elizabeth Earle of the home club.
Ina going over the records of the last
season. however it will be found that
Miss Hollins won the metropolitan
championship az Nassau BY defeating
Miss Ceorgianna AZ. Bishop Of Brook
lawn. in the final round. Then she came
down TO tho final round in the national
championship az Wilmington and fell
before Miss Gladys Ravenscroft of Eng
land, who took the American champion
ship into her keeping for year IT,,
therefore may be proper to rate Miss
H0llns as the most successful woman
golfer Of the year.
Turning strictly TO metropolitan hap
pcnings, however, Miss Hollns did not
compete TO any extent in the various
competitions arranged by the Womcn's
Metropolitan Golf Association. In the
handicap list she and Miss Hyde are
placed at the top. But when il comes
to actual performances in the day
events of the association the name OF
Mrs. Lawrence Swift of Englcwood and
Nnollwood, heads the list in actual
prizes won. as did that of Mrs. n. Pen.
dleton Rogers OF Baltusrol last year.
A glance over the records reveals tn,
fact that Mrs. Swift won three gross
