Under existing baseball law
the offending twirler is not pun
lShed unless, in the opinion of
the head umpire officiating at
the game, the beaning is inten-
tional.
Griff thinks that regulation
Is only about so per cent effec-
tive and is imploring President
Harridge to sponsor an edict
which will embrace an auto
matte suspension for any Incl
dent Of bean-balling.
Writes to Harridge
He has taken the matter up
in correspondence with Mr.. Har-
ridge, and admits as yet he has
been unable to sell the Ameri-
can League president on the
innovation which he advances.
But the Old Fox is not to be
dissuaded from his purpose
and proposes to take the matter
up at the winter baseball meet
ings.
Griff paused from his after
noon game Of pinochle long
enough to discuss his latest
Notwithstanding out the beam
ballers altogether.
"It isn't fair to the batter
nor his family to subject him
to injuries which may easily be
Of a fatal nature" he empha-
sized today.
Extraordinary Measure
He continued:
"My idea of an automatic
suspension for such offenders
may seem very severe, but we
need some action Of an extra
ordinary nature in order to
force pitchers into the kind Of
control which will keep the ball
away from the batterAS head.
II don't believe any pitcher
Intentionally hits q batter in the
head, but do believe some Of
them try to excite batters by see
ing how close they can come to
beaning them without actually
doing 50. That's how batters
get Drained.
ut is such tactics which are
no part Of baseball and against
which l am starting q campaign
that I eventually hope to see sue
cessful.

which automatically suSpends
without pay every pitcher who
