Fred Mitchell, manager of the Chicago Ma
t%ionals, wants to know who is to disting-
uish between the 'bean BALI and a wild
pitch.
"That is going to cause more trouble to
umpires than they ever had before" Nit
chell said. 'They cannot distinguish when
a pitcher deliberately throws a ball at a
batter's head or lets go a wild pitch.

done as long as L lave been associated
with the game.
