WOULD SHIFT FOUL LINES This Would Help Batsmen to Hit
 Safe.

The wise men of the major baseball leagues are grappling with an old problem-a problem which demands that a scheme be worked out to in- crease the batting. It has been recog- nized for years that the big league pitchers, on the average, are too eff fective. A large majority of the pa irons of the game hanker for batting contests, but the shrewd pitchers are constantly devising new schemes to fool and befu6dle the batters. As a re- suit there are too many to 0 and to pitchers battles for the good of the sport.
 The rules committee of the major leagues will meet this month to dis cuss and act on a series of suggestions designed to put just enough of ham dicap on the pitchers to balance the scales between the pitching and the batting. It is proposed for instance that the number of balls be reduced from four to three and that only one foul strike shall be allowed. Rule aI- terations of this sort might have the desired effect, yet the best plan ever offered for the bettering end of base ball. as the writer views it, was pro- posed 10 years ago, by Billy Fox then second baSeman for the Lincoln base ball club and one of the brainiest ball players that ever wore spikes on a diamond.
 The Fox plan provided for the draw ing of new foul lines although the base lines were to be maintained ac- cording to the established angles and measurements. The Fox foul line pass first base a foot outside the sack. On a field in which the outfeld fence Is 360 feet distant from the plate, the Fox foul line would be four feet out side the old standard.
 Billy Fox argued that in almost ev- cry ball game the batters hit line drives and sharp grounders or lay down buntS which go foul only by inches; he maintained that as much batting skill is required to hit one of these drives which goes foul by a slender margin as in lining the leather onto safe territory within the present lines.
 The reduction of the number of balls from four to three could not mater tally increase the hitting; II would tend to plant more runners on the bases, yet a hit would be no easier to deliver than under the present rules and hits are needed to drive runners over the plate. On the other hand the Fox scheme would legalize many drives and bunts and add materially to the potency of the hitting depart ment of the National game.
 The rule makers should try out the Billy Fox scheme The experiment by way of suggestion, might be test ed during the spring training season in the south: which would permit the plan to be retained or rejected, accord ing to the success or failure of the Fox method. Perhaps a new foul line which would pass first base a foot beyond the present standard might not work out to the best advanrIGe: pos sibly a change of six inches would pro vide a better solution of the problem Nevertheless, the Fox scheme stacks up as smart suggestion and on that basis, it is well worth the attention and consideration of the ruie-malxing body.

SALARY ADJUSTMENT
 ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
Declares President Tener of National
 League.

New York. Jan. 29.-Pres:dent Tener of the National League in a statement tonight in reply to complaints of Ma tional League players that their sal aries had been cut, declared a salary adjustment was absolutely necessary. 'The game must be put gon such a basis where the men who have money in the clubs can expect 2 reasonable profit on their investment" he said. s"The best proof that salaries are too high is that despite the fact that we had a record attendance, few clubs made money. The same conditions, I am told, existed in the American league, which also had it's record at tendance.
 ''If the clubs cannot make any pro- fits with record attendances, what can they do in lean years? And no one can deny the right of the club owner, after his big outlay of money for play CTS and stands, to expect his E; seball property to yield him a fair income.
 "The players should be more req sonable- Salaries were artif1cial'y in Hated during the existence of che Fed eral league and players by holding a strike club over their clubs forced them to pay salaries out of all pro- portion to what their services were worth or what the clubs could afford to pay. Naturally such l. contracts could not be expected to be renewed at the wartime figures"
