BASEBALL STUDENT
MAKES SUGGESTION
Would Expand Two Major
Leagues to Include Twelve
Teams Each.

Joe villa. in the New York Evening
Sun, yesterday printed the following:
A reader. who evidently wants peace
In the baseball world and is a student
of the politics of the game. writes that
he has evolved a scheme that will set
tie the present controversy. He sug-
gests the expansion Of each Of the ma Tor
leagues to twelve clubs, which will in
clude five Of the Federal League clubs,
emitting Kansas City. Chicago, and St.
Louis. He maps out their proposed cir
cults in this way:
American League-New York. Brook
lyn. Boston. Philadelphia. Baltimore,
Chicago. washington, Detroit. st. Louis,
Cleveland. Pittsburgh. and Buffalo.
National League-New York. Brook
Ign. Boston. Philadelphia. Washington.
Pittsburgh. Cincinnati. Chicago. Detroit,
st. Louis. Cleveland. and Indianapolis.
American League would take in the
Fed clubs in Brooklyn Baltimore, Buff
falo, and Pittsburgh, while the Feds in
Indianapolis would enter Governor
Tener's circuit. which would be allowed
to operate franchises in Washington,
Detroit. and Cleveland, now exclusively
controlled by Ban Johnson.
The leading objection to this plan Is
the fact that the National League, COM
posed of twelve clubs from 1892 to 1899,
was a financial failure for the reason
that there were too many "tail-enders"
six second-division clubs. Experienced
baseball men have always maintained
that Washington and Detroit cannot
support two clubs. also that as Balti-
more, Indianapolis, and Buffalo were
many years ago. they would be run at
a loss should they be taken back.

Bingles And
BuntS
By GRANTLAND RICE,

The belief is still highly prevalent
in the polite baseball circles that a
! ball club should do about rs per cent
better at home than on the road
Playing upon home soil and in the
presence of the friendly squawk Of
the rooter is supposed to act as big
boost for a clubs chance to win.
But the scheme or the belief
doesn't always work. Recently play
ing at home the Reds lost three
straight to the Braves and then four
straight to the Giants-a total of
seven consecutive defeats.
During the progress Of the seventh
defeat, Herzog's club looked to be the
worst outfit that ever stroIled into ma
as completely demoralized as a found
ering set of human beings could be.
They were gone-and gone completely.
Calling the Turn.
After the seventh loss we saw Her
zog that night. expecting to find the
Red leader down in the well-known
depths. His club had looked like a
hunk of cheese for about ten days and
here it was just verging on a long tour
East.
But in place Of being upset Herzog
was in a cheerful mood. I'm glad
that last home game is over for a
while" he said. "All we need is to
get out on the road. Wen get back
together then and get going. 1 know
how badly we looked for the last week
or so at home. but you'll see differ
ent ball club on the road. Give US the
once over and then see"
Herzog called the turn. Once away
from home the Reds sailed into dod-
dering Dodgers and pummeled them all
over the field. There was enough re-
organization and mobilization to hang
together in a tight sixteen-inning bat
tie and pull 1t out. And in place OF
breaking against the Giants with Math-
ewson pitching. the Reds still swung to-
gether and upset the Big Gun by a
ninth inning rally.
No one who saw the Reds play at
home would have ever known the same
club was facing the Giants at the Polo
Grounds. They had come out of the
rut and had fought their way back TO
something like reorganization.
The Old Stuff.
In the old days a ball club was up
against it while visiting the enemy's
Landscape. This was due to two rea-
sons-first, home umpiring that rarely
ever gave the visiting team a look-tn
on the close ones: and. secondly, to the
I abid roofing of home fans.
There Is still a bit of rabid roofing
under way, but 1t isn't as bad as 1t
used to be- But there Is no longer
any home umpiring, or very little, at
least.
out of their last three remnants. the
Giants won at least two on the road
and their road record Is still as good
as their home count for 1914.
Herzog Delivers.
There is no question now that Her
zop has come forward as one OF the
best Young leaders the game has ever
produced.
He isn't winning any pennants; he
isn't even in the first division.
But from last years ball club that
finished seventh he has lost Joe Tinker.
