The latest sug- gestion is the institution of some scheme to check the batters, lower the number of long hits made and shorten the games. Advocates of the reform contend that the fans demand it; that they have tired of long games in which large scores prevailed; that extra base hits, particularly home at Jersey City, world-wide as it is, nowhere is. keener than among the ball players, many of whom are dyed- in-the-wool fight fans like George McBride, who never overlooks ag op- portunity to see a mill.
