In doing away with intentional delay the rule has been a pronounced success, but the records show that in recent the batting lias decreased in strength, until last season the pitchers had a.

greater advantage than ever before. President Johnson of the American league, who is a close student of baseball, ho is opposed to changes in the present playing code, and I'm pile Hank.O'Day, who suggested the foul-strike rule, supports Johnson in this contention. 'ther baseball men, including Comiskey, Connie Mack, Chance, Fred Clarke and Clark Grillith. hold similar opinions as far as the suggestion to reduce called balls to three and to increase strikes to four is concerned. But all of these men are busy thinking over th proposition which involves the renewal of the raised pitcher's box.

Tills change was not suggested until recently, and it has found so many advocates that at the meeting of the Joint Rules Committee til" the big leagues it will doubtless receive seri Jackson and Fuller CHARLES H. THOMPSON 1012-14 S. Main St Bdwy. 1B47 Horn. Knox DOERR-iJROW 1205 South Olive St.

Bdwy. 1784 Homa F47IJ Motor Company's collection of cups and trophies for which they have been patiently awaiting for some time. Immediately they were unpacked, and a stand made in the shape of a riuarter of a circle. This stand, when finished necessarily took up a big space in the park, as it is to accommodate one hundred trophies. The Show Committee objected to it.

on tho ground that being so large it would obscure too much scenery. Their ultimatum was that the cups must be exhibited on tables. This, from Howard's view point, would make what he believed to he one of the handsomest exhibits look like a bargain day sale. It nearly broke Howard's heart, and he finally prevailed upon the august body of the Show Committee a compromise in that he cut the stand in two parts which would be placed far enough apart to allow the car which has won a number of the victories to be shown between. Jack Eagle, who formerly was an automobile salesman In San Francisco, is now connected with the Howard Motor Car Company and Is to handle the Oldsmobijo line.

The raised box has been generally overlooked, but the rule permitting it has been violated in so many instances that the matter is now widely discussed. With the mound built up so that the top of it Is two feet higher than the home plate and the three, corners of the diamond pitchers now have a tremendous advantage. Those who employ speed a greater part of the time are enabled to intimidate batsmen by hu-lirg tho ball dowr hill with terrific momentum. They are in a position to sea the corners of the plate better, and in that way can keep control of the ball with more effective results. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

By putting the pitcher on a level with the batsman It is argued that the latter would go to the plate with more confidence, and that the hitting there itcbell GREER-ROBR1NS COxUPANY. 1501 South Main St Bdwy. 6410 Horn. 22313 Golden Mate Uarage, 2122 W.

The pitcher would be unable to enjoy an unfair advantage and would be forced to exercise more care In his delivery. It is pointed out that such men as Mathewson, Coombs and Johnson would not have so many batsmen at their mercy and that with more hitting the games would lie livelier from the spectators' standpoint. Baseball men who have looked into this matter Insist that there i no good reason why the pitcher's box should he raised at all, unless it is for the purpose of keeping the hitters in subjection. When the hex was on a plane with the plate there was plenty of tirst-class pitching, but the records show that the batting was heavier and that runs were more plentiful.

The raised box. It is said, was originated by the old Baltimore of fifteen years ago and it has been a growing evil ever since. That the average manager believes i hat the success of his team depends chiefly upon the effectiveness of his pitchers is shown by the fact that twice the number of twiilers are carried nowadays than was the case in 193. Then three or four lirst-class pitchers were sufficient, whccis nowadays a major league team is not considered well equlppd unless seven or eight boxnicn are on the payroll. The Brg'ime'it that good pitchers make' a winning team is illustrated by success of the Athletics, winners of the recent world's series.
