Ruling On Bean
Ball Will Give
Umpires Trouble

CHICAGO - Now thar the National
Baseball commission has lesislated against
tho bean baIi'' and proposes to punish
the pitcher convicted OF using II. Fred
Mitchell. manager Of the Chicago Ma
tionals, wants 10 know who 10 to dis
unguish between the bean bslr' and .
wild pitch.
That In going to cause moro trouble
TO umplres than they ever had before"
Mitchell said. They cannot distinguish
when a pitcher deliberately throws a ball
at a batter's head or lets 10 wild pitch.
Il say that because do not think that
a pitcher ever deliberately attempted to
throw ball at a batsman's head with
any idea OF hitting him, have never
seen II done as long as have been as.
ISOLATED with the gume
1T Ia true that have seen pitchers
throw In close TO a batter for the pur-
pose OF driving him away from the plate.
That Ia legitimate and I do not think it
does the game any harm. The pitcher
does not do that with tho intention OF
besninE the batter. but merely to scare
him away"
