Percy Haughton Has
Radical Methods For
Restoring Baseball Balance

Boston, Jan. 2. - Suggestions for
restoring the balance in baseball
which he contends has become lost
through the advantages enjoyed by
the defensive side of the game. were
advanced to-day by President Percy
ID. Houghton, of the Boston National
League club. Haughton brought up
the subject at the recent meeting of
the National League. which vote to
have rules committee meet with a
similar body from the American
League TO consider revision
The natural ingenuity of the AM
erican sportsman is forever DESTROYING
the balance between defense and at
tack in games" said Haughton. I'm
baseball the defenders have had the
upper hand for years. 1t is harder to
make runs now. Batting averages
are dropping, indicating there is
something radically wrong with the
balance in baseball. What changes.
not revolutionary, will increase the
probability of the base hit and earn
ed run
Here are six ideas I have heard
advanced, each of which has merit:
Move first and third bases about
four or five feet nearer home plate,
not disturbing the position of second.
Eliminate the spit ball delivery.
Let the batter walk on three balls.
Let the batter walk on three balls.
Have only one foul strike.
Have a much more drastic balk in
depreciation.
Reduce the width of the plate by a
few inches"

National Commission Ready to
Act on Important Questions
at Cincinnati

}, Cincinnati, Jan. >. - Baseball men
from almost every part of the country
are gathered here for the annual meet
ing OF the National Baseball Commits
sion opening to-day. While the com
mission meeting has been called for 10
a. m, 1t is highly probable that it will
be hours later before the supreme court
of baseball really begins its work. in
asmuch as there has been called a spe-
cial meeting of the club owners of the
Glass AA leagues. which has as an in
dicated object the option of a suitable
resolution for presentation to the COM
mission asking that the drafting OF
players from Glass AA leagues be
abolished.
While nothing official has been an
nounced by the commission as to how
1t will look upon this demand. it has
been unofficially indicated by President
johnson, of the American League that
the request would be denied.
Glass 4. a. Meeting
That the Class IA league men in
tend to press the matter with energy
is indicated by the special meeting
called for to-day. and while every club
president of the American Association
and the International League is eN-
pected here, it is hardly probable that
the Pacific Coast League will be rep
resented 10y more than one man.
The election of officers for the COM
mission also will be held, but il has
become an assured fact during the last
week that both Chairman August Herr
mann and Secretary John Il. Bruce
would be reelected, the announcement
from Chicago that President Johnson
of the American League, had stated
that he saw no reason to make a
change putting an end to numerous
rumors of the last six months that the
commission would have a new head in
the person of some one not affiliated
with either major league.
