NOW FOR Wall
FROM PITCHERS
Managers Plan to Keep Twirl-
ers Away From Plate;
One Plan

Chicago, Nov. Thorough air
ing of n radical suggestion is pro-
posed during the winter meetings of
the major leagues, and IL has to do
with minimizing the predominance
of the pinch hitter in baseball box
scores.
The idea is to eliminate the aver
age pitcher from the offense by pass
ing a rule permitting the manager of
a team to choose in advance of a
game whether or not the pitcher he
selects shall bat for himself and
if not, allowing the choice of a bench
warmer to hit for the slabman
There is nothing new about it, en-
cept thatsthe majority of the man
ayers in the two major leagues
have been converted to 1t, and, If
they were permitted to vote at the
coming meeting of the magnates.
the rule probably would be adopted.
Managers Problem
It's purpose is to eliminate one of
the managers problems. When
his team is behind in a game and
his pitcher comes up to bat, with
runners within scoring distance, the
teams boss is confronted with the
choice of letting the slabman,
weak batsman, stay in the game be-
cause he is pitching we'll or of send
ing pinch hitter to bat in his place
and taking a chance with another
pitcher who may or may not be on
edge.
If the manager let's the pitcher
go to bat, in ten out of eleven cases
the runs do not score. If he sends
up a pinch hitter, in two out of
three cases the runs do not score.
and it is about fifty-fifty that the
relief pitcher will lose the game.
even if the pinch hitter does deliver.
The suggestion that will be put
up to the club owners this winter
would permit the manager to keep
la pitcher in the game IL he were go
ing we'll and still allow fair
chance to score runs with a pinch
hitter.
What Change Means
When a weak pitcher is assigned
to pitch a game the manager would
have the right to announce to the
umpire that a substitute would do
the batting for said pitcher. OF
course, when Babe Rube pitched,
the manager would inform the UNI
pire that Ruth would bat for him
self. But. If Ruth were knocked
off the slab in the first inning, his
successor would have to continue to
do his owr batting. Contraw.se, II
a weak hitting pitcher were taken
out of the game and slugging
hurler replaced him. the substitute
would have to continue to do the
swattiS; in the slabman's turn.
The practice of removing Il pitch
'tr from 1 to 0 game simply be-
icause he cannot hit and his team
needs a run to tie, has become so
common that the fans have protest
ed, particularly when the pinch hit
ter failed to deliver. In the ultimate
diagnosis, the public ought to have
majority vote.

HUNTERS MANY
IN FIELDS TODAY
Start of Rabbit Season Docs
Not Show Real Weather;
Other Game in Season

Hunters were out to-day for the
opening of the rabbit season, but
not in as large numbers as was an
ticipated. The weather was not of
the ideal order. Cotton tails are
not good until a heavy frost. and
during cool weather, is the general
belief of local hunters.
However, the rabbits which have
been reported as more plentiful than
in many seasons did not have an
easy thing. Many hunters had
planned to go to-day and they went
just to see how that new gun work
ed, and whether the rabbits are
plentiful. Many left the city yes
terday. Others went early this
morning.
Woods Full of Them
In the suburban districts near the
city shots were heard by early risers
at sun up. Farmers from Cumber-
land county who come to Harrisburg
early for market, report many hunt
ers in automobiles waiting along the
roads. They also said that the fields
and woods throughout Cumberland
county had many rabbit hunters.
In Dauphin county similar re-
ports were heard. Franklin, Adams,
York, Perry, Lancaster, Lebanon and
Schuylkill counties had a big at
traction for local hunters. In the
vicinity of Mt. Holly Springs 1t is
said rabbits are so numerous that
some farmers welcome the hunters,
claiming the cottontails are nuis-
ance.
OF course there is other game in
season and hunters had chances at
bear, hare, pheasant, quail. raccoon.

Battle With Perkiomen
Seminary

The Tech High football eleven ex-

for boys. The visitors have defeated
Hill school at Pottstown to this
year, and also nosed out Haverford

changes for this afternoon. AldinGer
was sent in at tackle for Comfort,
who injured his right ankle down at
Mercersburg last Saturday. The
coach desires to hold Comfort for the
Greensburg game at that place in two
weeks, and did not want to take
chance on having the big boy hurt.
Elllnger In Form
Harry Ellinger was also plugging
the hole left vacant by the injury to
"Haps" Frank. Zip" Malick started
on the end. The remainder of the
team was intact. and although Tech

Lehigh Loses Big Star on
Eve of Battle With Pitt

Bethlehem, Pa, Nov. 1. - Lehigh
will be without the services of Cap
tain Bucky Mcdonald in to-day's Pitt
game. ,In the practice yesterday he
turned his ankle in running down
under a punt. Maginnes will likely
take his place.
The practice consisting of signal
work and trying out the defense
against Pitts formation was held
in a rain. Lehigh does not view a
wet field to play on with as much
favor as a dry one. Douglas and
Hezelman it was determined to-day
will not get a chance to play to-
day but in a pinch. Rote and Sim
endinger may be used. The backfield
therefore will likely be: Savaira, Lis
ton and Wysocki, with Harrington
at quarterback.
A rousing smoker was held last
night in the gymnasium. Lehigh is
confident that it can hold the Pitt
line, says Rosey Rieter, but the
locals sole chance of holding down
the score depends upon the extent
to which the Brown and White can
prevent the Panthers' backs from
describing areas around the ends.

RED CROSS VISITING
NURSE FOR MARYVILLE
AND BLoUNT COUNTY

The Blount County Red Cross
Chapter has sent an application to
the Headquarters of the Red Cross
Nursing Service for an experienced
capable woman to take up the COM
munity nursing service in this county.
This public health work is a promin-
ent part of the after-the-war plans of
the American Red Cross. The OBJ
vious need of the eXtention of public
health nursing was demonstrated in
the recent influenza epidemic, and
also by the large number of soldiers
rejected in the draft on account Of
preventable diseases. tuberculosis
being among the most prevalent.
The nurse will look after sanitary
and general health conditions of the
town and county, teach the school
children how to avoid sickness and
how to care for the sick. The public
health nurse contributes to the
health of the community by guarding
against the transmission of disease,
trains mothers in the care of their
children, and how to safeguard their
own health and conducts eXamina-
lions of school children. Her pirnci-
pal field is the prevention rather than
the cure of disease, although she
nurses when it is necessary. The
greatest of all her contributions is her
ability to show we'll people how to
keep well. The local chapter has the
funds on hand to finance the under
taking and it meets with the hearty
approval of everyone. The work is
to commence as soon as capable
nurse can be secured, it is hoped by
Sept. LIST.

INTERCHURCH WORLD MOVE
MENT OF NORTH AMERICA
NOW AT WORK IN TENN

The Rural Survey Section of the
Interchurch World Movement of
North America is now at work in
Tennessee, its headquarters being
with the division of agricultural ex-
tension of the University of Tenn
essee, which is cooperating in the
work to the fullest degree. The
Interchurch World Movement has as
its central organizing principle a
thoro going plan of cooperation be-
tween churches in their educational
and missionary program. The first
feature of the plan is Nationwide
church and community survey to
ascertain what the existing conditions
are. in order to have facts upon which
to formulate program. This is the
part Of work that is now being put
into effect thru the rural survey
section.
DR.. Thomas Freeman Dixon, State
supervisor Of rural survey, is on the
field organizing the forces that will
make sociological survey of every
community in the State, and a religi-
Gus survey of every church. A State
survey council is being formed of
men of all denominations operating
in the State, with representatives of
the educational institutions. This
council will have entire charge of the
survey work in the State.
In each county key man will have
charge of the actual work of making
the survey in his county and will
have associated with him persons
representing the various churches in
the county. These will form a
county survey council and will be
to the State council for
the work in that particular county.
Thus the work will all be in the hands
of local people. The same plan is
being put into effect in every State
in the Union.
