CLUBS
DROP THE SPITBALL
PITCHING THIS YEAR

Chicago, June 6.-Spitball pitching
is a thing of, the past in the Ameri-
can association.
There was a howl Of protest from
the managers and pitchers alike over
enforcement OF the drastic legislation
prohibiting all freak" deliveries. but
when hurlers found they would not be
permitted to tamper with the ball,
because umpires were instructed to
carry out the rules to the letter, they
abandoned all attempts to get
away" with anything. So E
=. Not a single. complaint against the
alleged use of the spitball. emory ball
or similar deliveries reached Thomas
]. Hickey. president Of the association,
in the first five weeks of the season.
IT consider this a remarkable rec
ord" President Hickey said. for we
expected all sorts of trouble over the
spitball inc other prohibited deliver
les. The elimination Of these deliveries
fewer wrangles between the umpires
and managers. and a more spirited
batting contest, which a made a
strong appeal to the patrons of the
game:"H .
y The success of twilight baseball in
Minneapolis may lead to the adoption
of the latter supper game in two or
three other cities in the association.
according to reports reaching Presi-
dent Hickey. The Minneapolis twi-
light attendance is double the usual
afternoon crowds.
"The plan probably could be adopt
ed with success in Milwaukee and
Kansas City. but I think conditions
would be ~unfavorable in cities in the
eastern circuit" said President
Hickey.
"Pee.ple are so busy that they can't
get away from the work during the
afternoon as much as they would like
to attend the games. The same situ-
alton, in regards to attendance. affects
the major leagues. All are feeling the
effects OF the war. Labor is scarce
and every business house is short Of
help. But I believe the people en-
gagged in war work would be glad to
attend ball games in the evening""
Operating expenses continue to
mount in the association as a result
of the increase in railroad rates. The
twenty-five per cent increase in pas
senger fares will mean a $500 in
crease to the expense of every. club.
The average travelling expense for a
club during normal times is approx
mately $1,000 a season."
