rlgnJ-neld wall he ran like a demo-
crat in the first ward and finished
with a vicious slide to second base.
Immediately thereafter he had to leg
it swiftly to score from the keystone
on single by Elliott.
In the midst of a Pirate rally Doyle
made startling diving catch of
line drive. It was necessary for him
to rest his entire weight on both an
kles to get the proper impetus for his
dive. Later he went deep into center
field to make another good catch,
cutting off a run.
These mechanical effects were ex-
cellent, but where Doyle really shows
his worth is in putting pepper in the
team. At no time last season did the
club exhibit the same aggressiveness
as yesterday.
Wolter and Elliott each dubbed
two hits and the efforts of both fig
ured in the scoring. Williams pOled
one against the right-field screen for
three bases.
Fortunately for the Cubs, they
meet the western teams-the weaker
members of the leagUe-befOre tax
ing on the east, and Mitchell should
be able to hammer out some SEM
blance Of cohesive play. He should
be in good position when the club
goes east to meet the seaboard en-
tries.
Jimmy Callahan has an almost i'm
possible task, if the team he put on
the field yesterday is representative
of Pirate strength. He lacks catch
ing and, at least three places on his
infield should be more ably protected.
His Outfeld is only fair, despite the
presence of Carey and Schultz. Cal
must rest his case on his pitchers,
for his team will not produce many
runs.

though the real sluggers of the team,
Felsch, Jackson and Ed Collins, con-

three hits, Weaver. two and SchaIk a

Memo Liebold gave way to John

Shane smeared a triple that put over
the winning run. But EebOld did
enough to cinch a place as lead-Off

when sOuthpaw of more than or
binary ability is presented by the op-
position.
In the first inning Memo made a
long throw from right field that shot
a Brown dead at the plate, closing a
rally when it seemed the Browns
were due to score a weeks runs. Pre-
viOusly Jackson had thrown out a
man at the plate.
Facing a left-hander twice, Liebold
walked once and flied out once. The
walk was the encouraging feature.
He has patience and will be franked
to first with frequency during the
season.
Risberg still has some minor

Hermann MOVES
TO PARE ROSTERS
Frames Amendment to Ma
tional League Constitution
/. Calling for 18 Players.

CINCINNATI, December Garry
Hermann. president of the Cincinnati
Reds, has taken the initial step in re-
ducing the player limit Of tho senior
circuit to eighteen men a team, exclu-
sive Of the manager. He said today he
already has forwarded to President
Tener Of the National League an amend
ment to the leagues constitution call
ing for an eighteen-man limit for the
next season. The amendment will be
voted on at the National League annual
meeting in New York December IL.
1t is declared by base ball men that
since Hermann submitted his amend
men fifteen days prior to the meeting a
majority vote Will insure Its passage.
Amendments initiated after the fifteen
day period require unanimous vote.
Herrmann's proposal does not provide
for any disability list.
Expects A. L. to Follow Suit.
Hermann believes that by reducing
to eighteen players the clubs will be
shape. He said today that he expects
the league to adopt the amendment,
and for the American League to follow
suit.
President Johnson's desire to enter
the war started the ball a rolling for
a reduction of players, and his action
led to the proposal for the eighteen
player limit. Tener favors the reduc-
ton. as do most of the managers. who
are eager to help do everything that
will assist Uncle Sam in the war.
Realizing that the eighteen-player
limit was almost a certainty, Manager
Mathewson of the Reds recently an
nounced that he would do his share
Of the pitching for the Reds next sea-
son. He takes the view that what is
good for one team is good for all, and
is very much in favor Of cutting down
the men. In case this is done, in his
opinion. 1t will leave each team about
six pitchers.

Would you class Bob Groom Of the
st. Louis club as a spitban pitcherf-
J. H. L.
Groom has a good spitbaII. but as a
rule uses it only in the pinches. He
has fine speed. good change of pace
and a swell hook. He uses a curve ball
to a great extent With two strikes
on batter. and one or no balls. he
often experiments with the spitball.
and in many cases. II he gets it over,
the batter is a strike-out victim.
VIII You kindly give proper ruling
on the following playf
None out. man ON third attempts to
score while second baseman hns ball.
Ball II thrown home and hits batter,
who In In proper position Mt bat, M he
has been pitched to, ball strikes bat
ter and bounds away; what Is rulingf
play, 1 would say runner on third base
had a perfect right to score. Batsman
is within his rights in remaining In
box. Such a play as you state is al
ways much easier to interpret when
actually viewing the play.
What was the trouble with Bert
ShOtton OF the st. Louis Browns last
years I have always been, n great ad-
mirer Of this player, and was much
disappointed In his showinE-E. N. NJ.
Shotton was in poor shape physical
ly most of last season. He played in
many games on nerve. At other times
the crippled condition of other MEM
bers of the club forced him into the
lineup. Shotton's work last season
is no criterion of what he is capable
of when right. A winters rest will
probably bring him back to his old
time form. which means he is one of
the best outfielders in the American
league.
Please give me your opinion OF the
following Dlays =.
None out. man ON third attempts to
score before pitcher starts his deiiv.
cry. The pitcher II just In front Of
rubber and throws ball to catcher. Bat
ter hits ball, making safe hit, scoring
man on third and reaching second
base.
Since pitcher was not on rubber
when he threw the ball to the catcher.
it was not legal pitch. and the bats
man had no right to hit same. Run
ner on third should have been declared
out for batsman's interference, and the
batsman hit over again.
