Fully cognizant of his ability, Pratts

Immediately he has solved Pratts weak

fast ball Like as not Pratt puts it into
the stand.
II recall a game in New York last
season with Jeff Mcconnell pitching.
Mcconnell hung a slow curve on the
outside and Pratt missed 1t foot. It
was such bad miss it was ridiculous.

other ball in the same spot. I'll never

Trotting Association Rules
Committee Making Little Progress

New York, February 1o.-The rules COM
mttee of the National Trotting associa-
ton made little progress today toward
agreeing on important changes suggested
at the joint meeting of the National and
American associations held in Chicago
two months ago, although its report on
these changes must be ready for action
by the biennial congress of the associa-
ton, which will go into session here to-
morrow.
w. II. Gocher, secretary of the associa-
ton, today refused to discuss the changes
proposed. but intimated that their dis

led to their definite acceptance. 1t is

NATIONAL LEAGUE
OPENS APRIL "A

New York, February 10.-The 1914 play
ing schedule of the National league, as
announced here tonight, following the an
nual meeting of the schedule committee,
calls for the opening Of the season on
Tuesday, April IA, and the final game
on October z. According to a notice
accompanying the schedule no changes
shall be made that will conflict with
the American league playing dates, and
double-headers shall not be scheduled
for conflicting dates except by the con-
sent of President Johnson of the Ameri-
can league. An exception to this ruling
is made on the final trip of the season,
to be exercised only In the case of alb
solute necessity. There are but four con-
fiicting dates, however. all of which oc-
cur in Chicago, those being May 10, 81
July and September 13.
In the distribution of home holiday and
saturday dates those schedule plums are
about evenly apportioned, although the
western clubs have a slight advantage
over their eastern rivals Pittsburg draws
10 Saturdays and three holiday dates;
Chicago IA Sundays, IL Saturdays and two
holidays; st. Louis secures IL Sundays, 10
Saturdays and one holiday, and Cincin-
natl has Is Sundays and 10 Saturdays. In
the east Boston has 13 Saturdays and
three holiday dates; Philadelphia 13 Sat-
urdays and two holidays; New York and
Brooklyn share alike, each being allotted
IA Saturdays and one holiday.
The road schedule shows that Cincin-
natl has 10 Saturdays, two Sundays and
three holidays; Chicago IA Saturdays,
three Sundays and two holidays; st. Louis
15 Saturdays, six Sundays and two holi-
days; New York II Saturdays, five Sum
days and two holidays; Brooklyn receives
similar share; Pittsburg 10 Sundays
and 10 Saturdays and Philadelphia II Sat-
urdays, five Sundays and one holiday.

modified number nearly a score.
Among the changes to be considered is
one which would give a horse the benefit
of one second is case it had not rSnuced
its record in any start during the previ-
Gus year. Another would make an al
lowance of time of as much as four sec
onds in case a starter failed three times
to win part of the purse. 1t is under
stood a rule against penalizing heat VIM
ners, nonwinners of n race, is much in
favor, though record of the failure to
win will be allowed in breeders books.
Performances against time, in what is
commonly known as "tln cup records,
will not be considered a bar to races,
it is said.
1t was learned today that some of the
proposed changes are revolutionary In
character.

given, but Tinker said there were two big
league players and the remaining six
were from the American association
teams.
Charles Williams, secretary and treas
urer of the Chicago Federals, returned
from his southern trip and said that
either Shreveport, La, or Mineral Wells.
Tex, would make satisfactory training
camp.
Decision on the southern grounds will
wait the return of Charles II. Weeghman
from his eastern trip.

game should be adopted by the baseball
fathers at the rules meeting on Monday
THE adoption of this rule stated
Moley, would make it almost impossible
for hurler to throw the ball far enough
from the plate so that the batter would
have no chance at all to hit 1t. Now no
restraint is put on the pitcher, but with
a catchers box in use he would not be
able to get away with some of the raw
performances that have been evidenced
in past seasons"
Time Halt Is Called
Moley also states a halt should be
called on the way hurlers now deiber-
ately lay for weak batters. and that
O'Day's proposed rule was the most
practical one designed to put a stop to
intentional walks.
Concurring with the Baron chieftain in
his views are Derrill Pratt, the local boy
who starred last season with the St. Louis
Browns, and Pete Knisely, the hard hit
ting Baron outfielder. Both are of the
opinion that 1t is high time a halt be
called in the practice of the hurlers and
that the rule proposed by o'Day was an
excellent one
Both expressed their dislike to receiving
an intentional pass to first base and were
of the hope that some decisive steps
would be taken at the baseball meeting
in New York fext week.
The Right Solution
Should O'Days rule be adopted, it will
very likely prove the right solution for
the intentional pass evil So common has
the practice become that majority of
fans have warmly censured Fingers for
resorting to it.
The issuance of deliberate passes not
only slows up the game, but also tends
to make it less interesting and for the
games sake some drastic steps should
be taken to minimize the passing of bat
ters.
