vent such S1abSterS as Grimes, of the
Brooklyns, Douglas of the Giants,
Coveleskie of the Indians, Doak of the
Cardinals and others who depend upon
the wet delivery for the greater part
OF their effectiveness from using the
splitter. He says
IF the pitchers who were allowed
to use the spitball delivery last season
were forced to resort to another style
of offerings next spring for effective
ness, think the fans in major league
cities would raise protest. For in
stance suppose Grimes of the Brook
lyns and Coveleskie of the Cleveland
team had to rely solely on curves and
speed next year, would the fans in
these towns be satisfied? Among the
players there has never been any
great objection to the use of the spit
ball. The emory ball and other freak
deliveries which have been done away
with were really dangerous to bat
against and the majority of batsmen in
the big leagues were glad that they
were placed under the ban.
''If it is decided to put the splitter
in the class with the barred deliveries
the pitchers who will suffer by the
rule will be robbed Of their effective
ness, and as a result they will probably
be easy marks for the batters and the
career of each will be shortened. While
think it only fair to allow the spit
ballers now in the big leagues to use
the delivery for the remainder of their
stay in fast company, l do not believe
that any more moist ball hurlers
should be allowed to enter the big
leagues and use the delivery. Let the
delivery pass out of existence as those
who use it drop out of the leagues"
According to KLEIN, the demands Of
the National League umpires, which
were sent to the national commission
before the last worlds series started,
were met. 1t will be recalled that be-
fore the fall classic began the National
League arbitrators held a meeting and
signed a petition in which they de-
manded more pay for officiating in the
big games. The National League UNI
Dires were supported by the American
League officials.
Recently the Milwaukee club of the
American Association proposed trade
that would result in Art Butler and
Joe Hauser going to the Kansas City

learned of the contemplated deal they
raised a protest and the planned ex-
change of players has been temporarily
held up. Last season Butler and
Hauser were popular with the Mil
waukee fans and they do not want to
see them traded to another team.
Ed Konetchy, the Brooklyn's first
baseman, has returned his signed con-
tract for next season to the offices of
the club. The document was sent to
the veteran first baseman in St. Louis
several days ago. The terms were not
announced, but in view of the speed
the player showed in attaching his
signature it is believed that he receiv-
ed substantial increase.
Konetchy is the third member OF the
National league champions to sign for
this year. Manager Wilbert Robinson
was the first to sign 1921 document.
and later Ivan Olson attached his sig
nature to a contract.

Bill KLEIN, one of the best umpires

some historians, a party Of NOrsemen
landed on the northeastern coast of
the continent, and few years later
established a colony. AS memorial
to these early explorers a rough stone
tower has been erected at Auburndale,
Mass, n town that is believed to &C.
cupy the same site as the legendary
settlement. Investigation has failed
to reveal any traces of building ruins
in the vicinity, but has resulted in the
finding of several old stone walks.
