DICKERS0N MAY BAN
SPITBALL IN WESTERN
League President Believes
Baseball Would Profit by
More Hitting.

If Tulsa should participate in the
activities of the Western league next
season. local fans may not have to
pass the time away eating peanuts
while the pitchers are smearing the
bah with tobacco or elm juice, for
President Dickorson is going to try to
tie the rattlers TO the spitball.
The reason for Mr.. Dickerson's war
on the spitball is that its use curtails
! batting averages. Patrons Of the ma
tional game, according to Mr.. Dicker-
son. do not care TO see pitchers bat
tie inning after inning but like to see
hitting, clean and frequent They
admire a good pitcher but it is the
boy with the fat batting average that
gets the cheers.
To PcnaliAc Pitchers.
He favors penal.zing pitchers who
roughen or discolor baseball to
make it have a sharper break. When
pitchers are allowed to dampen ball
they also can roughen 1t, and tbs
weird curves and breaks obtained
make monkeys of the batters.
But the fans do not want the pitch
crs TO make monkeys OF the batters,
according to Mr.. Dickerson. The bugs
want hits. many of them, and OF n
good. solid substantial nature. A bat
ting rally. or rather many batting raj
lies, spells satisfied fans and money in
the box office.
Mr.. Dickerson also believes that the
g, development of the spithall and othCs
| freak deliveries has caused baseball
games to drag from two hours to
| two and a half. instead of an hour
and a half as formerly. Every time
Il spitball is delivered the hurler must
| before he pitches This time con-
sumes Il large amount of the playing
period.
Fans Want Action.
And the patrons OF baseball, thinks
] Mr.. Dickerson. do not care to sit thru
a long-drawn game. They want ac-
ton. and plenty of il. Hitting and
base running means action, but the
Spitball reduces the interest and the
action.
The cause of the apparent apathy
on the part OF the fans, according 10
Mr. Dickerson, is the slowness of the
lgames and the absence of thrills such
as are furnished by free hitting. But
the attendance and demand for seats
at the 1917 worlds series, believes Mr.
Dickorson. indicate that the fans have
not lost any of their interest, but
merely do not care to attend the con-
tests where the players always are
stallng and stretching out the playing
time.
He promises the fans i'm Il 9 Western
league that the spithall viii be elimi.
mated as much as possible in the cir
cult next year. Everything will bo
done TO increase the hitting and tC
shorten up the games.

treated to a performance of real
merit in the presentation of the
beautiful musical comedy, Hail
Captain O'Plymouth". The per-
Torrance is to be staged under the
auspices of the Atkinson Memorial
Church and the staging is being d.
rected by prominent ladies in that

Perhaps fifty people are taking
part in the production of the musical
to be given at the Evangeline Fri
day night. They are now ready to
give their performance and the re-
naming nights of rehearsal will give
them all letter perfect in their
parts. Catchy music is heard
the performance inter-
spread with dramatic and comic
dialogue. Character chorus in song
and drill formations will add zest
to the entertainment.
