All six OF the teams in the Associa-

be no possible doubt as 70 the cham
pionship with all the leading inde-
pendent elevens in Delaware repre-
sented in the Association when the
end OF the 1922 campaign rolls
around.
Most OF the discussion was cen
tered on three rules. one concerning
the schedule as 20 whether II should
be a five or ten game affair for each
team. and the other two concerning
players. The vote was deadlocked
for some time. The article which
was inserted at the suggestion OF the
representative OF one OF the mem
bers at a previous meeting exclud-
ing all players from the association
who were not residents OF the State
was the bone OF much contention.
The question was argued from both
sides and after much discussion OF
benefit TO the Association the arti-
Gle was stricken from the code.
IL as decided to play a ten game
schedule as frst intended, the season
opening on September 80 and clos
ing on November 80 Thanksgiving
Day.) The schedule will be drawn
up and presented for consideration
at the next meeting OF the Associa-
ton which will be held in The Even

night. II is intended that all home
games OF Fort Dupont shall be play
ed al the Fort on Sundays. This
will allow quite a few open Saturday
dates and those teams which wish to
attempt two games on two successive
days can do so by arranging games
with teams outside OF the associa-
ton, and as announced by some
managers they viii most likely be
considered travelling dates.
One rule adopted. which should
provide added interest TO all games,
concerns the divisions OF the gate.
The rule reads that so per cent

NEW YORK. Sept. Omitted
Press) All this heavy hitting and
most of the sloppy fielding is being
blamed on the lively ball Inhelders
maintain that they have TO stay
back on the grass and pitchers claim
they take their lives in their hands
when they try to stop a drive of
the bat.
One OF the best pitchers in the
game. however, is OF the opinion
that the lively ball IS not altogether
to blame for the terrific hitting OF
the present day.
Babe Ruth more than anything
else IS responsible for the increase
in long distance hitting" Urban
shocker. the great pitcher Of the
ST Louis Browns. said.
Ruth made every player aspire
to be a home run hitter. They come
to the plate, take a toe hold on the
bat and swing. They connect Just as
many times as they used TO, but
their hits are all necessarily longer.
Change in the pitching rules has
been factor because batters have
more confidence when they step up
to the plate"
Shocker is one OF the few re-
naming spitballers and he has
made it a most effective weapon.
He does not believe. however. that
the use of a foreign substance on
the ball should be necessary to
make a great pitcher.
There always will be a way Of
putting a hook on the bali without
beating the rules" he says. Look
at Joe Bush. He has perfected a
fork ball and It has made a new
pitcher out of him. He let's the ball |
go out between his index and sec I,
ond finger and it acts just ike a
splitter. There always will be some
similar ways Of getting an effective
delivery without using resin, emery.
powder or licorice"
Grover Alexander, another of the
games greatest pitchers. is of the
opinion that the lively ball is re-
sponsible for loose baseball. He has
the theory that the pitcher is al
most removed from the line of de-
fense and that twenty-five per cent.
more territory is forced upon the
and the second baseman.
Where the pitchers used TO average
FIVE or six assists per game, he

conditions a pitcher seldom gets

down was made by MrDonough

In view of the crippled condition of
the team the Hilltoppers showing
was highly commendable. The game
was highly interesting and while
closely fought was almost entirely
devoid of any rough features. The
Hilltoppers were repeatedly cheered
from the Tech stands for their game

ended, Capt. Barron of the Yellow
Jackets rushed across the field to
shake hands with Capt. Comstock of
the Hilltoppers and compliment him
