PITCHERS ARE BLAMED
Better Opportunity 10 Kill Time
Than Other Players


The rules OF baseball permit the nm.
pire to call a ball whenever a pitch.
or holds the ball for more than 40
seconds. He can continue to call
balls for each such offense. This rule
was adopted to shorten the length of
baseball games. It is q good rule,
but Il is d that might easily and
with the approval OF .fandom'' every
where be improved upon.
There Isl no reason why the pitch.
or should be allowed 20 seconds Iii
which to make his delivery. Fifteen
would be ample. 1t Is admitted that
It is quite q task to pitch nine innings,
when every pitch Is a well defined ac.
tion and frequently-such as in the
case of curve balls, spit balls. and the
like-puts a tremendous pull on the
wrist and the shoulder. But 1t must
also be taken into consideration that
it is seldom that q pitcher is asked
to work oftener than every third day
at most.
This is cited because OF the time
consumed In the playing Of ball games,
particularly In the American league.
this year Is a topic that has demanded
the attention OF the public more than
ever before.
Many q well played game has not
appeared as such because the time
consumed has made the play monot.
onous and irksome.
1t is a peculiar thing that almost
without exception the games played
in the National league have been fast,
er than the games played in the Amer,
lean league this year. Why this should
be SO is q problem to decide. SO fal
as a be judged, the players are OF
equal merit and the umpires are just
as earnest and untiring in their efforts
to hustle play, but there lave been
few contests In the johnson organiza,
tton that have been disposed of In less
than mi hour and forty-fiYe minutes.
and many that have taken two hours
and nor before being completed.
In reference to these games only
nire inning affairs are taken Into con.
sidsration. The fact that the major
ity Of the clubs in the junior major
league have proved better road clubs
than they have stay-at-homes may
have something to do with 1t.
fy this Is meant that it is true
that most Of the teams Id the Amer
ica,, league have done q majority Of
Their winnings while playing on the
road, thus forcing the games to &c
nine full innings instead of eight and
a half. This, however, would scarce
ly account for the delay.
Ban Johnson's attention was called
to this hardness early in the season
and he Immediately issued an order
that a new ball be thrown out every
time a foul var knocked. He thought
this might save minutes Of time n
every game, but 1t has not. In the
games played by the Yankees at the
Polo grounds it has appeared to re
tard the progress, il anything.
