BAN ON FREAK DELIVERIES
INCREASED HITTING IN 1920
National League President Predicted
Suggests Of Last SUMMER
in Spring.
United pres, SIAN corr.,nona.n,


NEW YORK. Jan. l5.-When the
ban was applied to freak deliveries
last winter. John Hcydler. president
OF the National League. said:
Watch 'cm hit next season"
They did hit all through the ma ors
and minors, according TO the 1920
batting averages
Forty-two players hit 900 or bet
in the National League, thirty-one in
the American Association and TWEEN
ty six In the Western League.
Comparison OF the. last four years
SEQ hit;crs in the American League.
In 1917 there were eleven, in 1918
nineteen, in 1919 twenty-scvcn and
last season forty-two.
The. National League barely went
over its 1919 mark. Nine hit 500 in
1917. six in 1918. sixteen in 1919 and
twenty in 1920.
George S!sier. the brilliant first
hascman OF the ST. Louis Browns,
beat all records since 1911 in the
American League when he battcd .407.
Only twice has that mark been en-
cccdcd. both times by Ty Cobb. in
1910 and in 1911. when he set the
league record OF .t20.
Rogers Hornsby's mark of $40 is
the best in the National League since
1912. when Ncinie Zimmerman hit for
.3I2.
Twenty battcrs since 1876. how
ever. have exceeded the mark made
by the st. Louis second baseman last
season, including Hugh Duffy, who
made the record average of AIS in
1894.
Opinion is divided as to the cause
OF the epidemic in hitting last season.
Some agree with the contention OF
President Heydlcr that the ban on
the emery bail, the shine ball ana
other freaks OF pitching art made
hitting easier.
Others trace IL to lively BALI

season to be in use by the major

Legal Limit Set by Craig

Mayor Hylan and other meubers 80
the Board Of Estimate will hav. +o
snow cause tomorrow before Supreme
Court Justice w. D. Hotchkiss whv a
mandamus should not issue against
them, compelling the board to restore
the items for the pensions of the teach
efs, police and other city employees.
The order to show cause was served
on the Mayor and his associates at the
meeting Of the board yesterday by
stewart Browne, of the United Real
Estate Owners' Association. The sp;t
was brought by Charles w. Eidt, a real
estate owner ana citizen.
The petition on which Justice Hotch-
KISS issued the order recited that the
Mayor and the other budget makers
eliminated from the budget s2,e25, 900
from the police pension fund, SODA
94a from other pension funds, and that
$3,256,bS3 had been withheld from the
teachers retirement fund.
1T has been charged by Mr.. Browne
and others who have studied the
budget, and it has not been denied
that more than 100000 salary in
creases for Tammany henchmen were
made by the Mayor at the expense of
the beneficiaries of the various pen
sion funds
After the service of the orders of
the board Mayor Hylan announced that
must be acted upon before Tuesday
midnight, is $3.50, 900. This is near
ly $5,500,000 more than last years
budget. And the budget, as proposed,
is about $l,5O0,000 above what Comp
troller Craig has declared it can
legally be.
After announcing the size of the
budget Mayor Hylan asked that vote
be taken on it. Comptroller Craig sug-
gested the vote be put over until Mon
day. The Mayor pressed for a vote.
AS the roll was being called Mr.. Craig
said that he wanted to be excused from
voting: Then President F; H. La
Guardia Of the Board of Aldermen, a
and this was followed bv another mega
tive vote from President Hcnry H.
Curran of the Borough of Manhattan,
which was cast by Clarence f. Fay, Mr..
Currans ass, slant.
After all but he had voted Mr. Craig
cast his ballot in the affirmative, say
ing that it was apparent that the Re-
publicans did not want to appropriate
any money for next year.
~ have my doubt that we are ready
to pass the budget as it stands" said
the Comptroller in voting aye.
The Comptroller's three votes, how
ever, only gave the budget eleven votes,
one less than the two-thirds majority
required on the initial presentation Of
any financial matter. But the budget
can be brought up again on Monday,
as directed by Mayor Hylan, and then
passed with a bare majority-nine
votes.
Mayor Hyan at the close of the
hearing yesterday said that about ST.
900 had been stricEen from the pro-
posed fna. budget, of which S370,000
came from the Street Cleaning Depart
ment item and 100000 from supplies
for schools and Unforeseen possible
