GAME DEADLOCKED
Score in Exciting Game Is Tied
With Five Seconds to Plly

Fans at the Industrial basketball
league games at the Tabs Hall last
night were brought 10 their feet In
the closing seconds Of the contest
between the Z. & 7. Corhin AMI
Corbin Screw girls teams, when the
l.ockmakers leading by two points
and the game seemingly won. Rose
HULK Gagged hoop for the Corbin
Screw five and tied the count. The
basket went in just before the whis-
lie blew ending the contest and sent
it into an overtime period.
In the playoff. each team scored
Il basket and the battle vas final
~ decided as a drew with the count
E to 6. 1t was the first overtime
game Of the year in either league.
Coincidentally. it was the heroine
Of the battle, Rose HULK, who a
moment before had startled the
spectators with her tying score
who was the cause Of her team 60
ing without a victory. After Mary
Motyka had scored a basket in 20
seconds of overtime play. Rose com.
mitted a foul and Mary Hudak
made both Of her chances good and
the score was again tied with a
minute 10 90.
II was wild game. Even IN the
carly stages the teams battled fur
iously but the torbin Screw team
seemed 70 be at an advantage and
it held the upper hand until the last
five seconds Of the game. Members
OF both teams played hard and there
we're some mighty pretty falls taken
by the players.
The teams were tied Al 1-all at
the end of the first quarter on foul
baskets by kaminski and kulik.
Naleria Slysz made short shot TO
pvt her team ahead 3 10 J. Captain
Anna Pietkerwitz made it ) to ?.
iudak made IT to but HULK
scored her timely basket 10 make
the game an overtime affair.
When the overtime period was
ended the officials went into 4 bud
die and although it was the rule OF
the league 10 have each member OF
the team shoot fouls TO decide the
game II was decided not to follow
this course. Since the players on
both teams were tagged" out the
game was called.
Although Mary Hudak scored the
foul shots which saved the game for
her team II was her wonderful floor
work which made her the star OF
her team last night. The r. & i.
Corbin team was not Up to its STUFF
and its heavy scoring gun could not
get going. kuIik really saved the
day.

better team than formerly and it
played a good game despite the fac,
that 1t took a beating. New Britain
Machine, lead by Eric Anderson,
Who scored seven baskets, could not
be defeated last night.
The real weakness Of the Il. & j.
team was 1t foul shooting. especially
in the second half. A total OF y
chances was given the men but they
made only four.
In the first half tho teams hattlcd

MOVE TO ABOLISH
FOUL STRIKE RULE
Manager Thinks Action Would
Speed Up Play in Games
ny BILLY EVANS

! How about cutting out the foul
strike rule?
That was the suggestion of all
American league manager in reply TO
the National league proposal that 10
men be used on offensc in order to
create more action.
This all happened at the recent
joint meeting of the ma jor leagues
In Chicago. II was tho aftermath
Of John Heydler's suggestion that
hall clubs have a substitute hitter for
the pitcher. For a time. the pro-
posed reform vas the chief topic of
conversation. causing the magna'es
10 temporarily forget all about
trades.
Here is the opinion Of prominent
baseball manager:
III the National league seeks more
action. ain sure cutting out the
foul strike rule would cause more
thrills than simply having substi-
tute batter for the pitcher. Possibly
the pinch hitter for the pitcher
would help enliven the game 10 Il
certain extent but fear it would h.
very limited. II would be Just as
easy for tn: pitcher to pass the sub
stitute hitter in a pinch.
''Or the other hand. doing away
with the foul strike rule would in
crease action from the top to the
bottom Of the batting order. The
justice OF the foul strike rule is
questionable. Often YOU have seen
some batter hit d ball into the stands
for what would have been home
run had II not curved in the last few
feet. Yet. that is one strike against
the batter. His next offering may be
4 drive do" the lne that is foul by
Il few inches and that is strike num-
Der two.
THE foul strike rule is too lop-
sided. all too much In favor OF the
pitcher. The rule vas adopted TO
keep batters from fouling off the ball
to tire the pitcher and also delay the
game. Larry La joic was Il wonder
at this stunt. I am told that in one
time at bat he touled off - balls
hcforc he was finally retired.
1T was only a matter of time be
tore the woul strike rule worked 10
the great advantage OF the pitchers
and now 1t is their ace in the hole.
OF course. no pitcher would favor
such d change but if the magnates
seek more action. let US have it all
along the line, rather than only with
The pitcher. Give the batter his three
strikes without any fowl strikes en-
tcring into the situation. In other
u oris. the batter mus swing and
miss or have the strikes called te-
fore he is retired.
~ do not believe this change would
make much difference with The 500
1.ittcrs. Most Of them hit Just as
wcll With two strikes on them as
none. However. do believe it would
make a great difference with tho
80 batsman. lie could make US"
Of the extra strikes that would be
lroviaci hy the elimination Of the
loUl strike rulc.'
There YOU have the opiuion of on"
Of the gatls' ) greatest nanag' rs.
Nho rou1ests that ! omit his mann.
| might add there is much logic III
tn" suggestion 20 do away with ~"
first two foul strikes. If there Is
G.al desire TO increase action.
