Fourth Mat Fall

BOSTON, october 90 (P.-Aroused
~ wrestling fans forced a fourth
fall in the main bout of a mat show
last night after the referee had been
pelted with bottles and chairs and
squad Of police called.
Sahib Sebig of Turkey had taken
the deciding fall from George
Linnehan Of California with a flying
tackle when the near riot started.
Referee Joe Boston had ruled
that Linnehan was not to use the
flying tackle because his opponent
was unfamiliar with this style of
wrestling. When Sebig felled Lime
han with a flying tackle and was
announced the winner the uproar
started. After quiet was restored
fourth fall was decided on and
Linnehan was returned the winner.
Sebig won the first fall with
Linnehan taking the second and de-
Gliding fourth.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
LIKES n. |. SPHERE
Mas Better "Feel" Than Own
Thinner Covered Pellet,
II Is Claimed.

y YEw YORK, October %
M There is every prospect
4 Y that the American League
in the 1892 season will use
q base ball that is made exactly
like the National League ball.
william Harridge, president of the
American League, intimated this
week that such step would be
taken at the leagues Winter meet
Ing.
This means that the American League
ball, which has the same raised seams
as the National League ball. also will
adopt the thicker cover used on the
latter during the 1891 season.
Base ball men generally will applaud
such action by the American League
10 will re-establish uniformity OF rec
ords and put an end to comparisons
that vary with the degree Of partisan
ship that fan may have for par
tacular league.
1t is not good policy 10 have q diff
1erent type of base ball used In leagues
of the same classification. Nor does
that statement cover all the ground.
The base ball should be uniform in
leagues Of all classifications To play
golf successfully, to play foot ball sue
ccssfully. to play polo successfully, the
ball must be as nearly perfect and OF
the same dimensions for everybody as
q can be made.
No Change In Materials.
Over and over again, as the home
run batting Of the period between 1920
and 1880 began to increase, 1t was
asserted that the makers Of the ball
had increased its liveliness. The in
ference was that they made 1t with
different materials than they had been
using They never did anything OF the
kind.
1t Is sad that John J. Mc0raw
started the agitation for a change in
the National League ball. The game of
the sultanic swat cid not suit him
McGraw was schooled in a one-run-an-
inning game, and he could not bring
himself to favor base ball in which q
fungo nv over short field could upset
several thousand dollars worth Of man
In the Spring Of 1891 each league
had its own ball. The difference be-
tween them was so imperceptable that
the average person who played a game
probably would not notice 1t. In
league schedule of 1874 games between
experts the latter could notice it. If
an American League pitcher had
handled the base ball Of his league for
two weeks and suddenly were given
National League ball to pitch, he could
tell the difference in the feel"
Little Real Difference.
How little real difference there was
between the American and National
league balls had its humorous side ex-
hibited in the 1891 world series, for the
Athletics batted the National League
ball with more effectiveness than they
did their own, and the Cardinals had
the greater success with the American
League ball This result spiked most
OF the gossip about the great differ
ence" between the balls, something that
never existed.
II also acted as an argument in favor
of q uniform ball. As the National
League ball stood the wear and tear
of the 1891 series very well and gives
little better "feef' to the players who
use It, there Is q strong tendency to
use this type Of ball In both leagues
next season.
