 NEW YORK, Feb. 19-The spitbau. the emery ball, the rosin ball. and ali the ireak deliveries big league pitch CTS nave thrown into the baseball rules in the last decade were prisoners at the par when the board of directors .of the National league went into ses- sion here on February 12.
 Foiiowing the lead of Governor John K. Tener, president of the National league, and other leaders in the na- tiohal pastime, Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh, chief agitator of the elder major circuit, was here with his grin packed full of dope on a suggestion to shoot the indicators at sunrise. He gained the support of a number of in- fuential men, and in view of the fact that the American association, one of the most powerful of minor leagues. already has cast freak deliveries among the discards, the prisoners may be forced to walk the plank.
 Usually drastic reforms bearing on rules Of the game have to be looked over and viewed from suspicion from every conceivable angle before the powers of baseball decide to do any thing. The attack on freak deliveries during the winter, however. has been so strong that more than usual incen. tive for complete seperation is pres. ent, Governor Tener is so strongly opposed to the spitban that his influ ence, thrown into the lists, is certain to have a decided effect. Governor Tener is one man in the Natfona league who generally gets what h, goes after If he should decide tha he wants the scalp of the spitbau emery bah and it's various cousins an, other near relations, why, the deliver ies are quite likely to be scalpless. 1 Governor Tener's objection to tn deliveries is based mainly on the fac that they are not hygienic, that the are disgusting and unnecessary. Ofte the National league president has e, pressed his displeasure toward tf spitball in rather strong terms. II has declared it to be his belief tn; the average fan doesn't care co I tinental whOop about a star pitch when he has to watch that pitcher fir tspit on a baseball then throw it | to the batter, with the catcher req, to catch the saliva-covered sphere.
