Time and time ben dur- ing the past two Years the scoring at local ball games has been of the joke variety with the batters getting all the best of it.

Fielders can’t make perfect Pays on all hits; many times e balls are hit too hard tw handle and many times the ball takes bad bounces whicn ‘should be scored as hits. But often hits were counted up when boots should have been chalked up. If the records are to mean any- thing they ought to be stricter in the matter of scoring. According to the baseball writers, starting this crusade, the scoring in the Giant- Yankee world series was a regular Santa Claus affair for the hitters. id also speed up the field in order to avoid boots. am try harder for their bingles| ine referee in order to report to bin and he recognised by him a wou!
