BASEBALL is HELPED
BY LONG DISTANCE
Adoption of Rule Was Life Saver
to Many Noted Players.
When Ten Feet Was Tackled Onto
Distance Of Pitcher From Plate
Many Veterans Took on New
Lease Of Life In Game.

The lengthening of the pitching dis
lance In 1893 was alife saver to many
players who are now famous In the
annals of baseball history. To the
veteran players 1t meant new lease,
for many Of the famous hitters were
getting lamentably weak with the
stick. To the youngsters just break
ing in 1t meant another trial. Hugh
Jennings would have never been
known to the game today but for the
squelching Of the growing dominance
Of the hurler. Possibly the familiar
Erin would never have been heard
throughout the land. for Hughey was
about ready to quit SO discouraged
was he with the way he was hitting
and Jennings was not the only one
who stood on the ragged edge Of moth
ing. Billy Keller, Jesse Burkett, John
McGraw, Jakey Beckley were helped
along by the handicap placed upon
the festive hurler and stepped into
the 800 class when the additional 10
feet was tackled on the distance be-
tween these two plates.
Eighteen hundred and ninety-two
was the last season the hurler had the
5O-foot distance to work from and
It was the first season Of the amalga-
nation of the National league and the
American association, which was
formed into one 12-club circuit SO all
the best batsmen were punched under
one head. When the batting averages
were totaled up at the end Of that
season the names Of only II batslnen
were found In the 300 list. Such
star batsmen and formerly consistent
800 hitters as Arson. Jim O'ROurke.
Pete Browning, Roger Conner, Jimmy
Ryan and George Van Haltren slipped
below the 300 mark. The foxy hurler
surely held the whip hand over the
lusty slugger and kept getting better.
Such classy pitchers as Rusie. Cy
Young, Frank Killen, "Dumplings"
Mcmahon, Edward Stein. kid" Glea-
son, Charles (K.) Nicols. Frank
Dwyer, Gus weighing and the great
Breitenstein were in their glory and
going like wildfre.
Imagine Walter johnson or Grover
Alexander shooting them over from a
5O-foot distance Under those cOndi-
tons today the .3O0hitter would be-
come extinct, would wither from the
land, the 200 class would be the Sc
lect circle.
II the 5Ofoot distance were again
the proper thing it would take years
for the batsmen to get used to II, just
as it took the pitchers years to master
the heightened distance, but It took
q new generation OF hurlers to do It.

'BARONS BACK HOME
 FOR ELEVEN GAMES

After hitting the road for nine days, the BarOns are again back in town, to play the Memphis Chicks a game on the home grounds. For the last three days the Barons have been playing in Mem phis, winning one out of the three games. They can split even with the Chicks by taking today's game.
 The BaroniaI outfit hasn't played very gOttl ball since leaving the home port. Eight games have been played three of them wins, and five of them losses. This is not quite a percentage up to their regular standing and a slow but sure process of sinking to the bottom. But with the next eleven games scheduled for the home grounds, things ought to be brighter.
 Indications point to the fact that Cyrus Slapnfcka is to pitch today's con- test. Slap has been pitching pretty fair ball recently, although he did slip up in his Inst game. Since rejoinfng the old outfit, SIapnfcka has had n de- clded tendency toward winning his games. If all else works right we be- ieve that he will win today. Lead fin, gentle MOleyftes, we'll scalp Cy Bar gers outfit yet.
