Tener, of the National League, said to-day lhat he will sub mit. to ihe .joint rules committee, which meets here next month, a recommen dation to increase the width of the home plate from seventeen to eigh teen inches, and send* a batsman to first base on three balls instead of four. Such a change in tho rules, he declares, would bring about the de sired increase in batting. I "I believe simply sending a batsman to first base on three balls instead of four would be too great a change, and would throw the balance too much in favor of the batsman," Tener said.
