CODE NOW IS LAX
ON OTHER POINTS
Sound Formula for Ranking
HurIerS Doubtless Would
Be Gladly Welcomed.
By JOHN B. FOSTER.

n YEW YORK, November 6.-Talk
nj about changing the rules for
another base ball season has
given some fans the impression
that rule exists In regard to rating
pitchers. There is none. Each major
league president may have his pitchers
rated as he thinks advisable, although
both of them would gladly welcome q
sound formula.
OF course, If one major league presi-
dent preferred one method to another
he would be at liberty to use 1t, and 1t
"a doubtful II 1t would be advisable to
incorporate any method in the rules.
It would be better to offer 1t as sug-
gestion, unless the majors determine
upon some plan and insist upon its OBJ
servance.
Section IL of rule IS defines an earned
run. That definition is the result OF
advice given by President John A.
Heydler of the National League, who
suggested the present method after
others had failed to produce one that
was satisfactory His suggestion was
copied into the rules.
In rule So, which determines the
summary of a score, there Is no provl-
sion for earned runs. That Is the most
humorous omission in the present code
and its absence has just been noted.
There have been arguments about earn
ed runs ever since there has been base
ball. but it never occurred to any one
that the compilation OF earned runs had
not been provided for.
The blank forms for major league
purposes provide for the earned runs
and the usual compilation always has
been made, but the rules do not provide
for any record of them after explicitly
defining what they are. This will be
attended to at the revision of the rules.
In connection with pitching records,
It has been suggested that no pitcher
be given credit for a game won unless
he pitches all through the game. That
Is to be the standard Of skill. In adj
dition to that there is to be q record
Of winning innings for each pitcher.
On the face of the suggestion 1t seems
as II 1t would result In involved reck-
onirg, but it would not. 1t would be
quite easy to keep the winning innings
and the losing innings and give credit
for complete games only, whether the
games be stopped by rain, be games OF
the customary nine-inning length or
extra-inning games If a pitcher can
not finish a game, he Is not to receive
credit for winning it. Nor is a pitcher
who finishes two innings Of game on
the winning side TO be given credit for
winning 1t.
A plan to permit a pitcher to remain
In a game and have a batter bat Tor
him once II the game has gone as far
as seven innings, the pitcher to return
20 the game and finish 1t, is meeting
with much favor in the East. The
pinch hitter would be replaced by the
pitcher when the team takes the field.
This would give good pitchers a chance
to win games from which they. might
be withdrawn in case Of tie and would
not muddle either the pinch-hitting
plan or the present pitching system.

GRADE / D CROSSING.
IS DOOMED

Plans for an underpass to elimi-
nate the grade crossing Of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad at
Butternut Street Northwest, have
been recommended by the co-ordi-
mating committee, which is COM
posed Of Federal, District and
other interested bodies, it was
announced at the office Of Public
Buildings and Public Parks today.
The final plan is to change
the direction of Piney Branch
Road so that it will lie approx
mately midway between Fern and
Butternut Streets. Piney Branch
Road will go under the railroad.
Fern Street has never been ex-
tended across the tracks and will
not be. Butternut Street proba-
bly, will be ended at the tracks,
traffic from the two streets be-
ing diverted through the Piney
Branch underpaSs.
This plan will be submitted for
approval of the Park and Plan
ming Commission and the District
Commissioners before its final
acceptance.

Liquor and unemployment had
come near to wrecking the little

M st. N. W., when Judge Robert

up family rift.
Mrs. Newman had charged her
husband, Frank. 40, of the same
address, with threatening her life
as well as their children. The
tiny little woman looked un-
believably small and frail as she
grasped the witness stand tightly
to steady her. She told the judge:

The Judge then asked:

affirmative the judge remarked
of reading that a local paper had

ishioners are occupying the same

after day they heard the same
Word Of God preached as it is
now being preached to them, the
same denunciation Of the world
and flesh and the devil were
made to those whose names peer
at one in the dimly lit veStibule
as from some mortuary chapel
and vault of the dead.
And who shall say, they may
be filled with their spirits to-
morrow and the grave for the
nonce shall give up its dead and
