' By Henry L.‘ Farrell- (Uulted Press Sports Editor.)

NEW YORK. Oct. l.8.—When the . ajor league club owners meet this

inter to seek remedies ior any elects that might have been arr arent in the "national pastime" (ma; the past season. it is prob- ble that some reliei ior pitchers 3y be considered.

it is a generally accepH-id tact hat the restrictions placed upon pitchers by the rule enacted several

ears back to curb illegal deliveries have stopped trick pitching, and practically every other kind oi pllchlnfl’.

The bars that were raised against the, Ilse oi any ioreign sub- stance on the hall and the introduc- tion oi the rabbit-ball were design- ed primarily to increase hitting. The plans. ii they were such, euro- ly succeeded and now the rule- makers ilnd themselves in a place where they ieel they should do something to curb tho excess oi slugging.

From the statements oi many, oi the players, measures to make clouting less oi a common art were tried out during the past season when some less lively halls were put in play. While hitting was no doubt reduced, the dilllcuitios oi the players wore increased because they never knew how to play thc

ball. ,

The National League, it is under-

stood, is will g to amend the pre- sent pitching rules 1o permit the use oi resin on the fingers to allow pitchers to get a hotter grip on the ball. It was suggested that abuses oi the privilege could be avoided by -having tho umpires place a small box oi resin near the pitcher's box and sec that only s small amount would be applied oc- casionally to the linger tips. Several National League club owners have expressed their ap- proval oi this suggestion as they agree that pitchers have imposed upon them too much oi a handicap, and that the resultant hitting is hurting the game. ‘ Soon aitsr the present ruins hc- came eiiective it was realized that tho obligation oi handling a brand new ball without violating the rules was decreasing the eiioctivc- ness oi pitchers and the umpircs were instructed to remove as much gloss as possible irom the balls be- iore they were put in ploy.

The only eiiectlve way oi doing this was to wet the surface oi thc ball and this. too, had its bad ion- tilres, because the cover was soit- cued and made thc hall more cas- ily blemished and scarred by strik- ing the screen, the earth or any part oi the stands.

So many balls were thrown out oi play that thc club owners in looking over the increase in their expenses decided that something

t HasiBeenl-lSuggeisted-Thatthe Rules Be Changed andTThat an Additional Base Awarded. Batter Each Time He is

\

should he done.

Ban J ‘ . president oi the American League, instructed his umpires to be less hasty in throw- ing balls out oi play, but this order imposed upon them a flne line oi distinction in judgment as to what bails to leave in play when com- pluints were made by the batters.

While the National League is said to be ready to amend the pitching rules, it is understood that tho American dieague will not en- tertain any such suggestions. Petty politics and rivalry still exist in the major leagues and one league will not accept the suggestions made by thc other, because it might be interpreted as an admission oi bet- ter judgment or wisdom on the part oi the other.

American League club owners, have learned, at the cost oi some dough, that the intentional pass al- so needs some consideration. There is no doubt that the drawing power- oi Babe Ruth all over the circuit has been reduced by managers who preicr to have Ruth passed rather than take a chance on having the slugger swat.

No one can blame a manager who is trying to get some place in a pennant race ior ignoring the iact that hundreds oi ians are pav- ing money just to see Ruth hit. It is good baseball to pass Ruth when he has a chance to win a game, and it is but common sense ior a man- ager to regard himseli ilrst and protect his job.

The intentional pass never can be ruled out, because it is an essen- tial part oi the game and because in some cases a distinction cannot be drawn between wildness and in- tention on the part oi the pitcher. The abuse oi the practice, however, can be curbed by imposing more oi a penalty upon the pitcher who chooses the easiest way out oi a tight place.

lt has been suggested that the rules be changed and that an addi- tional base be awarded the batter each time he is passed. For lu- slanco, the ilrst time that Ruth is passed, he would go to first; the second time. ho would bo sent to second; thc third time, it would be the equivalent oi a triple, and ii he should be passed the iourth time in one game, ho would go cleur around ior a run.

Any change in the present rule, to bring about the desired results, would necessarily have to be radi- cal. Nothing else would accom- plish the purpose. '

Something should be done to give Ruth at least a iair chance lo hit as long as ians are paying their money ior the principal purpose oi seeing him hit. No one would sug- gest that the pitchers lay them in his groove just to let him hit, but it seems iair to ask that he be giv- en a chance to hit the bail.

For some moments Patrick O'- Dolan considered.

Public Has Absolute ' Honesty-He Is M and Has all the 0. Great Rider.

_ (United Press.) .

NEW YORK, Oct. 18.——Opinlon was widely divided beiore the Am- erican thoroughbred was picked to run against Papyrus, the English Derby winner, in the international championship race. .

Many turimen thought that M Own was the best three-year-old in the United States and should have been picked instead oi Zev.

Many still think so. and li the British horse should win, they will always maintain that Papyrus did not beat the best American horse.

There were no doubts, however, as to the jockey who should have the mount on the American color- bearer.

When the race was ilrst consid- ered. the name oi Earl Sando sug- gested ltscli immediately as the only rider in the country who could complete the combination oi the best jockey. and the best horse against the ioreign invader.

He is the ace oi thc staii oi jeo- keys rlding ior the Rancocas stnblo, tile largest and biggest money-mak- ing establishment on the American track. Considering the uvcrago oi “Til. second, third, etc" scored last year, Sande was sixth on thc list oi American riders, but he was the leading money winner oi the year.

Modest, unassuming. clean living and possessing all oi thc qualifica-

idol oi the eastern tracks. He is wealthy and wise. He commands a huge salary irom the Rancocas stable and when he is not up on one oi Sinclair's mounts, he can al- most name his own iee to ride for another stable.

Because the public has absolute COHfidenc-e in his honesty and be. cause he has an uncanny iaculty oi getting the most oi horses, Sande has a tremendous ioliowlng who

Considering the money he has made. the fame he has attained, and the popularity he has v-n. it might ho. trly natural that Sande should think pretty well oi him- seli. But he doesn't.

Sande is up every morning be- iore sunrise. He helps exercise and work-out the stable, irom the greenest youngster in the barns to thc leading blue-blood oi tho flock. He helps the trainers to take the youngsters when they are being taught the ways oi starting, and he works just as hard and as will- ingly as the most obscure boy on the stall’.
