Will Rules
of Diamond
Be Changed?

THERE Will probably be some i'm.
Il porRnt changes made Ia the
rules Of baseball az the winter meet.
lngs. Tho newest suggestions would
have a limit put on tho number Of
pitchers. pinch hittsrs and pinch
runners in a game Tho basis OF
tho complaint Is that tho games
are too long. especially In tho
American league. Others would
have tho practice OF tho pitcher
rehearsing his curves before every
half inning stopped. President
Johnson is weighing the HuEges
tons well and Branch Hickey OF
tho Cardinals has already lined up
in favor OF some new rules.
The changing OF pitchers aud
batsmeu Is part Of tho strategy OF
baseball and any curtailment b.
the managers Is sure TO meet with
opposition During the past few
seasons the changes IN pitchers
have been more frequent than ever
before. only n few Of the pitchers
in each league are able 70 finish the
games in which they start.
Increased hitting has been the
cause Of 20 many changes. II the
number Of pitchers Is limited and
the last rcscuer on the pitching
mound fails 70 check the batting OF
the opponents the games are likely
TO 60 on and on indefinitely. II
would seem that the new rules
would tend 10 lengthen the games
instead Of shorten them.
