sections A and B, respectively, of the
Capital City Junior division, start
their play.off for the city title today

do the pitchers seem to have beer
affected adversely or favorably BY
using resin?"
II don't believe it hurt one of them.
Our pitchers may not all be running
up high totals of winnings but those
can't be run up in the National
League this year, because the teams
are so evenly matched"
Ban Sings Different Tune.
Ban Johnson. president of thS
American League, sings different
| notes to another kind of tune. He
| thinks the games of his circuit are
more exciting without resin than arc
the National League games with
resin He calls attention to the un-
expected rallies which predominate
more in his league than in the Ma
tional. Maybe the non-use of resin
is not responsible for that. but the
American League president is not in
favor of tempting fate, because the
teams in his circuit are having Il lot
of fun trying to catch the Yankees
and there seem TO be many persons
interested in the pursuit.
There may have been no great
changes effected in base ball by the
resin bag rule. yet there are some
who have it that the National League
pitchers have become standardized by
the common use of resin whereas the
American League pitchers still are
individualized. Not a pitcher in the
National League is working like the
stars of the Cleveland and the New
York clubs.
The Only Seeming Effect.
When an American League pitcher
with bare hands is good he is better,
seemingly, than Il good pitcher OF the
National League, with his hands
stuck up with resin. That's about all
to be gathered on this resin bag rule,
which some thought would turn base
ball topsy-turvy.
The rule Of giving batters sacrifice
hits for flies that advance men on
bases, other than from third base.
is one of the best changes made, &C.
cordinS to President Heydler.
Where" said he. ARE those high
batting averages that were to be
made because this rule was adopted?
We haven't got 400 batter in our
league who plays base ball every day.
The early opponents of the new Sacri-
flee rule predicted we would have 8,
or 10 400 batters. l say it is just
as fair fore batter under certain
conditions to belt the ball with all his
might as it is to bunt it, il n runneG
can be advanced"
American League UnCOncerned.
The American League isn't cone
cerned about the sacrifice rule. Not
that anybody has heard. The Amers
lean League thinks it has better bait
ters than the National League. 10
boasts. and it has a right to boast.
Not every base ball league can turn
up a Ruth, Il Cobb. a Heilmann, q
Fothergill, a Meusel, a Falk. a GOslin,
a Collins. a Rice, a Gehrig, a Sims
