COMMISSION TO Be
ASkEDF.0RcHAAGES
Baseball Writer'S Would Clear
Up Many Points in Scoring
Rules Now Existing.

NEW YORK. May 1.-The commit
tee appointed by the Baseball Writer'S
Association to clear up points In the
scoring rules 50 as to bring about more
uniformity held its first meeting and
adopted q number Of Recommendations
to be presented to the. National Com
mission and through that bedy to the
playing rules COMMITTEES If the big
leagues for action.
The committee was unanimously In
favor Of the much discussed plan Of
giving hit to q batsman VINO advances
a base runners on an infield 5ab when
Is made on the play. II was argued
that the good points Of this method q
scoring outweigh any defects IL might
have and that It was the logical and
equitable way to score the pay. In
structions already had been issued to
scorers to record the play as q base
hit.
The wording Of several Of the rules
was clarified. one being that only ono
assist shall be credited to player who
takes part in the rundown Of an oppo-
nent In single play. A fielder might
have two assists in double play. Some
scorers have been in doubt whether or
not to charge an error In case Of .
runner being caught mapping but getting
back his base because Of the man tax
ing the throw dropping the ball The
verdict was that In case the runner
would have been out II the fielder had
held the ball the latter should be
charged with An error.
There Is a rule which reads: IAN error
shall not be charged against the catcher
or an inhclder who attempts to comrietc
a double play unless the throw he 90
Wild that an additional base II gained
II was voted to add to this proviso that
this. however, does not exempt from
ball when by holding it he would COM
plete a double play" In other words,
there Is no additional exertion imposed
on the man taking the throw a. In the
case OF one making IL, and no reason
why he should be exonerated from an
error
Opinion has differed widely whether,
when a runner starts to steal prior to
a passed ball or wild pitch. the battery
error also should be charged. II was
the opinion Of the committee that not
only should the steal be credited. out
that the battery error also should be
charged.
The committee will recommend that
the rule makers define and provide for
earned runs In the summary Of scores.
Both Messrs. johnson and Hydler. Of
the American and National Leagues.
of earned runs and rating pitchers ac-
cordingly. The present earned run,
differs from the old earned run. taking
account Of every thing a pitcher might
do in a game to be responsible for tai
lies by opponents. The theory of the
plan is that 1t gives a correct line en-
a pitchers value in preventing runs.
Another recommendation adopted,
suggested by E. ]. Lanigan. the sta
tistician. was that a record be kept Of
of
out men attempting to steal. The COM
mitteemen present at the meeting were:
Jack Ryder. Cincinnati, chairman;
Thomas 8. Rice. Brooklyn, secretary;
William Weart. Philadelphia, and F.

always offers an apology to the Dig

bride 8 RECORD
AMONG THE BEST
Nationals Shortstop Has Play
ed Here for Five Years,
Missing But Five Games.

While you are boosting the playing Of
several Of the youngsters why not con-
slider George Mcbride, the captain Of
Cribs Climbers? Mcbride has made one
of the most wonderful records in major
league baseball. In the five years that
he has been with the Senators he has
taken part in more games than any
PLAYER in either Of the big leagues. Dur
ing that time the team has had the name
of only one shortstop (McBride) in the
official averages.
Joining Washington in the fall Of 1907.
he started active work in 1908, and took
mart in every game played by the team
that season. He duplicated that record
in 1903 and 1910. During the seasons
of 1911 and 1912 he failed to take part
in only five games.
ing the team has been In class by It
self so far as the shortstops OF the
American League are concerned HIS
average since 1908 runs between .93s
two to fifty-eight. The only players ap-
preaching this record are Honas Wag-
ner. Of Pittsburgh, and Doolan, of Phtla-
deIphia, but neither of these National
League stars has taken part In as many
games in any one season as Mcbride.
Ranked Second.
The year he entered the American
Leaxue he ranked second among the
shortstops in 1909 and 1910 he led the
shortstops, and Spaldings Baseball
Guide for this year places him in the
American League Hall of Fame. which
is composed OF fourteen Of the leading
players Of that organization. In the
history of baseball there probably Is no
more consistent a record than his.
Only McBride's batting keeps him
from being classed as the equal, II not
the superior, Of the great Honus Wag-
ner. Even in this. however, he shows
CONSISTENCY. as his averages for the
last five years range between .26 and
"a HIS hits in the same period range
from lis TO l3l; sacrifice hits from IA TO
"a and stolen bases from IL to u; In
spite Of his low batting average, how.
ever. he Is considered one OF the most
timely hitters on the team.
Mcbride received his first professional
trial in 1902 with the Milwaukee Ameri-
can Association team. Later that
wear he was sent TO the st. Joseph
Western League team for seasoning.
He played second base In 1903 for 81.

with II to his credit.
Broke In In 1905.
Mcbride broke" into the National
League in 1906, when he was purchased
from the st. Joseph team by the Pitts
burzh club Later in the season he was
traded by the Pirates to the st. Louis
Cardinals for Dave Brain. the third
baseman. He played 106 games at third
base and shortstop in 1906 I'm the Ma
tional League for fielding average of

By SENATOR"

ST. LOUIS. May 12-well. the en-
tertainment came OF, all right.
but the entertainment pleased only
those affiliated with the Browns.
Such baseball as shown by both teams
was frightful to see. certainly not worth
travelling all the way from Chicago to
see. The result was Z to in favor Of
the Browns, and 1900 fans left ths park
satisfied that the Climbers should be
named the Slipper. And, apparently.
every one Of those fans was perfectly
correct.
After their brilliant fielding against
day. the work of the Climbers in the
field here was atrocious. Frank La
porte alone upheld the honor OF the
team, though the gardeners were blame
less. perhaps. because nothing came
their way. Dutch Schaefer was as crude
as the worst around first base. though
but one error is charged him In the
box score.
Tom Hughes suddenly became insane

with three runs for each side. he care

went the ball game. Manager Griffith
is said to have murmured in his sleep
all last night. Don't blame him; We
saw the game.
Judged by his pitching alone, Hughes
was the candy kid. His fast ball and
his curve worked properly. The Brown
les had considerable trouble hitting MIN
successfully, and he might have gotten
away with a victory IL he had kept
his senses in that awful eighth.
Weak With Stick.
Frank Laporte was the real lad in the
field for the Griffinen. though weak as
