suited because all the good ideas
are based on the belief the UNI
pires can tell when a freak deliy-
cry is pitched.
Suggests Pass as Penalty.
From physician who has been
a minor league club owner comes
the suggestion, that the batsman be
given his base on balls when a
freak delivery is thrown and on a
second offense the pitcher be re-
moved from the game. From an
Iowa rooter comes the idea of i'm
posing 30-day suspension and a
fine OF 800 on a pitcher for pitch
ing splitter or defacing the sur
face of the ball in any way.
No doubt any kind of a penalty
would be effective. but the diff
Guilty is to detect the culprit. Ey-
cry suggestion of the kind seems
to take it for granted the umpires
can decide whether or not a pitch
ed ball is natural or freak. No
remedy of that sort where 1t is lief,
to the sole judgment of the UNI
pire will help the matter at all. II
would simply lead to unlimited
wrangling and countless disputes
The antidote for freak pitching
must be applied before instead Of
after delivery in order to be effect,
i've in all cases.
To illustrate, nobody ever has &C
cused Alexander the Great of using
anything but his own noodle ant
his natural ability. The same is
true of Walter Johnson. But an,

OPEN CAMP AIGN
TO ELIMINATE
FREAK PITCHER
End OF Wrangling Over Condition
OF Ball by Players Seen by
New Rule.

Chicago, Nov. 4. - In the cam
paign to abolish freak pitching
from the major leagues; Charles A.
Comiskey. president Of the Chi
cago Americans, today advocated
an examination OF the ball by the
umpire after every third or fifth
pitch. That would eliminate much
delay caused by opposing players
demanding to see the ball, he said,
and also the "booing" by patrons
that generally follows such inter-
ruptions of play.
Comiskey's suggestion has to do
only with cutting out the farcical
practice of coachers. captains and
batsmen interrupting play and dis
guessing the public with their de-
mands that the umpires inspect
the ball when a pitcher is sus-
pected Of doctoring it.
We would eliminate lot Of de-
lay and all the 'booing" by the
public by passing rule making it
compulsory for the umpire back OF
the plate to look at every third or
for the players to ask him to do it,
fifth ball pitched. without waiting
and thereby eliminating any ex-
cuse for the team at bat to do any
kicking.
This, Of course, would not abol-
ish the freak deliveries, because
some pitchers have perfected them
until it is practically impossible to
detect any doctoring of the pill in
play. But it would stop a lot OF
the fussing il the plate umpire
habitually and at brief intervals
asked the catcher to show him the
next ball pitched and did So be-
cause there was rule requiring
him to do it.

Less than 1000 of the reserved

Coach Stage had a lot to say, and
some of it would not read very

boners. The first was selection of
the goal with the wind against them
after they had won the toss for the
kickoff, and another was the use Of
a forward pass by Graham while
standing on his own 30-yard line
with the score 0 to 0, which. when
intercepted, gave the Illini their
deld goal.
