WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1928, WOULD HAVE TEN PLAYERS ON TEAW Pitcher Would Not Bat Accord- ing to Suggested Rule Change New York, Dec. 11 (M—National League ofticials are in favor of 10- man baseball teams with pitchers who are just pitchers and nothing more. What's more they will take their plan with them to Chicago for consideration at the joint meeting with the Amerlcan League tomor- row. John Heydler, just re-elected for four years as president of the Natlonal League suggested a radical change in the rules whereby weak- g pitchers would have some- body eise to do their batting and base-running for them. While his club gpwners inclined a favorable ear, Mr. Heydler explained that he “elt the rule change would speed up baseball and at the same time, obvi- ate the necessity of having so many pinch hitters. Said Mr. Heydler: “With a few exceptions all pitch- crs are weak hitters and weaker base runners When they come to bat they literally put a drag on the game. No one expects them to do anything, and they simply suspend the action of the play. “Now it is my idea that this could be eliminated with the adoption of a rple permitting a pinch hitter to do the batting tor the pitcher each time the pitcher's regular time at bat came around without forcing the re- moval of the pitcher from the game. this, of course, is only a suggestion and there doubtless are several de- tafls that would have to be worked out later. ¥or one, I think {t would be best of the same pinch hitter did jall the batting for one pitcher and that this batter be designated by the mianager hefore game time. “With the adoption of this rule we would do away with the necessity of reeing a pitcher removed who may be pitching very well but has to make way for a pinch hitter because his team is in need of a run. “It certainly would increase the action of the game and climinate wuch of the delay caused by the chinging of pitchers. During the past scason in the National league, pitchers were removed for pinch hit ters about 600 times, and in mo: cases they were taken out not he- cause they were pitching poorly but because their turn at bat came at a critical moment when a good hitter was needed.” Mr. Heydler pointed out that the good-hitting pitchers could be per- mitted to take their regular time at Lat if managers so desired. Provided the suggestion meets with American league favor it is pos- sible that a special meeting of the rules committee would he called in time to place the suggested change |Glen Wright, rule need not he compulsory so that | |Harry Riconda, utility inficlder, to in effect before the 1929 starts. ‘The officials may look with favor upon the plan but it scarcely is like- ly that the pitchers (hemselves will do very much loud cheering over it Under modern heavy artillery condi- tions, pitchers usually are confront- od with eight good hatsmen anyway without making it worse by adding still another. The sight of a rival pitcher coming to the plate gives hurlers one of their few opportu- nities for rejoicing. Mr. Heydler's radical was the spice of an otherw meeting of the National le After re-electing Mr. Heydler at an increase in salary, the magnates Leard that Natioual leagne attend- ance in 1928 was around 5,000,000, a decrease of 400,000 over the previ- ous year; that Philadelphia, Ioston, Pittsburgh and Chicago showed los es and New York, Brooklyn, Cincin- natl and §t.

They discussed the advis: bility of closing the 19 Oct. 8 rather than the tentative date of Sept. 29. Also they formally awarded the 1925 pennant ‘o St Louis. It was decided that pitchers will be forced to use a white ball, um- pires being ordered not to rub the ball in soil. The magnates voted to continue the “‘most valuable player” award, although discussing possible changes in the method of making the selection. They elccted a new board of directors under the rotation sys- tem. It was decided that hereafter balls hit outside the park, whether into bleachers or not, will be ad- judged foir or foul at the spot that they leave the ficld. DPreviously ball, hit outside the b but no into a stand, was ruled fair or foul according to wh by the umpire. season suggestion he “white hall” rule was ordered because of a prom- | ise by manutacturers that hereafter the balls will be made without gloss.
