There are few big league teams

PITTSBURGH, February l0.-Presi-
dent Barney Dreyfuss Of The Pitts
burgh Pirates, is going to the sched-
ule meeting of the National League
next week with a brand-new sugges-
ton to increase batting. which is in a
way. along the line of his we'll known
policy of holding 4 team membership
down to the lowest ebb. Said he today:
They want increased batting. and /
am going to suggest to the league di-
rectors that we make stringent rule
forbidding any club from carrying
more than five pitchers. That will
stop a manager from sticking in sew
eral pitchers in one game where the
opposing batsmen have their batting
eyes peeled. A team 1eader isn't going
to use up his best pitchers every day,
and therefore will De obliged to keep
his twirler in even when he is getting
a lacing. That will increase batting
without very radical change in the
rules: in fact no change at all in the
playing rules

Doubts Threat Was Made.

Pm inclined to believe the American
League head did not make the state
ment that Henry would be forced out
OF the game because he sent kilograms
to American League members of the
fraternity urging them. to stick by the
colors and not sign contracts until
the word was given. | know Henry
wrote only TO Senators. because he said
SO. All the ball players know that
organized base bail pledged itself in
1914 to discriminate in no way against
any player because of his connections
with or activity in frat matters. They
know that new contracts-the 1917
variety-contain a clause which speci-
fies there shall be no discrimination
against the fraternity or its members.
THE surest way to make more trou-
bic would be for the magnates to
openly discriminate against a player of
standing. ability and honesty. like
Henry. Most all ball players can afford
to stay out of the game for year. 1t
is not as it once was with the avera ge
big Lacquer. Now he is a saver. not
a spendthrift, and can take care of
himself in a stretch OF rainy weather.
