MAXWELL rjporta Editor. Kvcnlng mblle ledger rplIEX'D txltcr take that funny, bouncinz rubber ball out of baseball or there 1 won't be enough player left to finish tho season. There arc too many heary hitters In the big leagues and the number Is Increasing as the season rolls alone. The batters are getting their batting eyes, taking a toe-bold and trying to knock the bulb out of the lot. They are not satisfied with singles or does any one attempt to place his hits. Ifs just slnmbang with tliem and Me long wallop is more satisfactory than a dozen short ones. No matter what they soy nbout the ball, whether or not it Is made the tame as In previous years, only the yarn la of a higher grade, the fact remains that it is faster and livelier than ever before. ou don't have to dissect the tall and make a close examination. All that is necessary Is to go out to a big league game and see for yourself. The lively rubber ball is making the game a Joke. There Isn t any science In It, Seldom do you sec Insldo baseball that smart stuff which used to win pennants for brainy ball clubs. Instead, tho players go to It liko a gong of stevedores playing for the championship of Pier 8. A lead of two .or three runs means nothing these days. Nobody is certain of victory unless the other tide Is a dozen markers to the good, and then it irn't an even-money bet. Perhaps the success of Babe Ruth last year made the magnates believe that a lot of heavy hitting would make t,hc gamo more popular, draw moro spectators, increase the gate- receipts and" swell their bank balances. There fore, n fast ball was introduced so that everybody could take a whack at It. New home-run heroes sprang up over night and batters who couldn t hit the size of their hat blossomed out into .300 stars. Every day you read about a flock of home runs in tho games, and If something happens and two clubs tall to register a homer an investigation Is ordered. ' AB A result, Babe Ruth no longer is a curiosity. The fane don't A tare to see him make homo runs because so many of the other ' plovers are doing it. Last year it vas a science with the Babe. Aow it it burlesque. If he doesn't get 100 this season he is off form. Speaks Right Out in Meeting rALI clubs don't need managers any moro," raid a big-league pilot tho t other day. "Ton can't play inside baseball and you can't get a one-run lead and p a, iT-afe to In the game. You can't P'""'" and you can't draWyour infield in to cut off runners headed for the plate. Tho whole game Is turned around and the cause Is the now ball. The ball players do not like It and a great majority have expressed a desire to have thlold ball back again. Thla Is especially true of the InfleWen Those Athletes are getting bunged up every day and are nfra Id of all hard-hlt balls, which onco upon a Umo wero easy outs. Now the ball is Hkelr to take a hop end hit the fielder in the face or tear the bark off his shins. The White Sox are wearing shin guards, it is eald, to save their legs. Outfielders are getting tho worst of It also. They are forced to lean ingalnst the fences in center, left and right fields, and if a ball Is knocked out there, they haven't a chance to get the runner as he advances a base, iwo throw are needed, whfii in the old days one would suffice. Another thing is the length of the games. Even last year some or the championship contests were ployed in a little moro than an hour, but you don t find it this year. Two hours is tho time of a very fast gamo and a majority last longer than that. It's a good thing the daylight-saving law was passed. It gives the players a chanco to finish tho games without hanging a lantern On rare occasions, up to this year, a batting rally would be staged and i!no men face the pitcher in one inning. Now this Is common. Whenever a pitcher geta into trouble there Is no telling how many men will face him In an Inning or how many runs will be Bcored. Look up the records and you will nd that more runs have been scored thus for this season than in the history l the game for the same length of time. , ' VnE entire thing is all wrong. Instead of putting on a refined J aot, the game has reverted to slapstick comedy. Pitchers Arc Taking Long Chances V A ND now let'a take a slant at the poor, overworked pitchers. Those guys LA. arc taking their lives in their hands every time they step on the mound. They throw tho ball at the batter and the batter knocks It back at them. Sometimes they get out of the way. Then they are lucky V About once in every twenty-five games doc- a pitcher Inst the entire nine ijnnlngs Usually two or three are inserted beforo the battle Is over. They can't last because tho strain is too great. Not only do they hove to work on the supposed weakness of the batter, but they must be ready to jump to one ide or fall flat on their faces when a screaming liner whizzes past Tho funny thing about this new bnll is that the pitcher hasn't a chance. ttbe moguls have legislated against every form of freak delivery, with tho exception of the spltter, and only the veterans arc allowed to use that. Tho aew twlrlers coming Into the league must use tho regulation delivery, meaning Ma curve, fast ball and change of pace, nnd they aren't enough. Therefore. Py of the youngstors are foozling and taking railroad journeys to tho es. A fast-boll pitcher now hasn't a chance. His speed Is just what the bot tom want and they sock it all over the lot. If a good curve-ball pitcher steps fe. he has more of a chance. Big-league managers todny ore looking for curve Sail pitchers. They are passing up tho speed merchants and sending them back lirith the sign: "Opened by mistake." t( f J AM looking for pitchers who can throw curves, have a good slow I ball and little speed," said a scout the other day.

Roy Moore was the party who spilled the proverbial beans for Spcakor and his clan.

Slnco tho dramatic spurt of the A's it cannot bo colled anything else but dramatic for It was entirely un expected young Mr. Moore, otherwise referred to ns tho Waco wizard, has been hurling brilliant baseball. Yester day ho demonstrated to a hugo crowd at Cleveland that the early predictions made about. him arc true. He held the worla'e champlong to eight hits, no mean task with the array of Bluggors on President Dunn's payroll. Speaker himself, who is engaging in n bitter duel with Ty Cobb and Horry nellman, or tno uigers, for tho honor ot being the league s leading hurler, was forced to bow to Mr. Moore, not a blngle pro truding from tho bat of the brilliant manager during tho fracas. While the Indians were dolnir stunts for tho Mocklets, Cy Perkins nnd his pals wero performing feats of valor for the edification of the Cleveland team nnd tho fandom of the town of the world's champions. Whltey Witt came to bat four times and shot out Into the greensward n double and two singles and dug his spikes Into the plotter on two occasions. Joe Dugon had two singles that aided In the run -getting, while Welch, Porklns. Oalloway and Mooro each connected for one -base blows. Jlmmv Dykes contributed a triple that scored the winning run. The victory como in the seventh, when Witt doubled, Dykes tripled over Speaker's top piece and Welch shot n sacrifice fly Into the atmosnhcre that counted the Main Line citizen. While the Macklets were jolting the Indians, the Polls were receiving their moat terrific lacing of the current sea son at the hands of St. Louis. George Columbia Smith was the recipient of an nifty a trouncing ns has been given to any twlrlcr this year.

Winning Clubs Have Curve Pitchers fclliiK reason for the good work of the Iloston Braves Is the curve-ball pitchera I on the club. The same goes for Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Urban Faber is winning most of bis games because he has a change of pace and a Rood curve. Ratters can bo fooled tho same oa of yoro, only the majority of pitchers ican't'rcalhc It. Mo longer con they throw tho ball past the batter, and the Jgooner they get hep the better. "You can't outthink a batter any more," a pitcher told me. "All you can do Is outgamo him. Just throw the bnll up and when It comes back try fcot to be there." All of which leads to a suggestion that twlrlers should bo rated according to points a la Hughlo Fullerton. If he sticks nine Innings nnd doesn't get hurt, ho should bo given 1.000. If he lasts four and one-half innings, hand hltn .600. It would prove who were the broveot of the brave at the end of tho jwoaon. Some day a pitcher Is likely to step on the mound wearing shin guards, a chest protector and a mask. Then he will win some games and glxglc at all of the batters. Copirioht, 1)11, by Public Lrdoer Co. Bingles and Bungles .i.tll a. !,. Chicago, at New York, l'lttslnirih nt Ilrooklm.

Rickard may havo that contest in mind, all right, but up until the present time he has made no eflort to sign lendlcr. "I know nothing of a match with Leonard," said rill Glassman. Ten der's manager, today. "The last time I saw and spoke to Rickard was more than six months ago, when wo were unable to reach a favorable agreement on several matches at the Madison Squaro Garden. If he really intends to match Tcndlcr with Leonard, It Is news to me." "Certainly," continued Glassman. "'Tcndlcr is ready for a match with Leonard, Rickard, I understand, wl'l not put on the bout unless Benny comes in at tho lightweight limit. J.i3 pounds, weigh in at 'i o'clock. Well, I guesR ho won't put on tho bout unless that weight rules the bout. Of course, I'm ready to do business. Let Rickard start things n -buzzing." Tcndlcr also intimated that he was ready to take on Leonard in fact, has been for somo time. "And I'tn sure I can win tho title from him," added tho Philadelphia southpaw.

The other two matches, ho kojs, will bo between Leonard nnd Tendlcr, and Bantamweight Champion Joe Lynch and Pete Herman. "I will mntch Leonard and Tcndlcr," Rickard Is quoted in New York, "but only lu case Leonard will make the wolght and make the battle for the championship. I will not handle the right It it is not to be a championship battle. "I will hnve nothing to do with a fight between n white man and a col ored man for the heavyweight title.
