Anong the many changes for the
better in the running Of the amateur
circuits this season - the noticeable
fact that the majority of the leagues
are able to play either the full route. or
are setting In from seven to nine
Innings daily.
Umpires. managers. and players are
co-operlting toward making the con-
tssts 20 the full nine innings whenever
possible, with the result that thers Nre
better averages an around and few "
opportunities 70 claim that had the
games gone the full route the result
would have been different.
Last year In the amateur leagues the
teams were able to get In but nve or
six innings. This year the teams fro
Quently manage the fun nine innings
ana practically all OF the mines are able
70 play 1t least seven or eight rouncs
before the dinner horn blows
Yesterday four games went the fun
route, three went eight innings and
two went seven innings- Teams got
out early and the umps hustled things
along. With the result that the issues
were decided In many cases in the last
innings, where. had they been called
In the NTH or sixth. as was frequently
the case last year. the result would
have been just the opposite.
There may be no amateur day after
III, unless the managero Of the teams
show something like enthusiasm In get
ting their men out to back up the idea.
President Young Ii heartily In favor OF
the move, and says he thinks It good
thing for the sandlotters and their fol-

The managers fail to show q war
1antable interest In the plan and when
the meeting comes on Monday at
ent aspect Of the case. Many players
cannot get OF from work to get out 70

be called on altogether.
