GRIFFITH SAYS THREE BALLS. Bt. Louls, Mo., June 17.

If they want to strengthen batting, make it three balls, Clark Griffith, Manager Highlanders. SHOULD BE ABOLISHED — ARMOUR. Cleveland, 0., June 17. Sporting Editor, Evening World: ‘The foul-strike rule has robbed the game of many of {ts most attri tive features. It has undoubtedly hurt the’ batting, and by so dolng has taken away the opportunities for much brilliant work that would ttirfll ‘the/spectators. Heavy batting creates opportunities for sharp fielding plays, whieh are missed from the game under the foul-strike rule, The rule should be ‘abolished. W. R. Armour, Manager, Clevel: American League, DO AWAY WITH IT—M’ALEER. St. Louts, Mo., June 17, Sporting Editor, Evening World: ‘We think the publlc likes to see hitting and base running. The rules have been cut down to suc an extent and the pitcher has such an advantage over the batsman, that each team ts retired in almost one, two, three ‘order. Notwithstanding that the game may be an excellent one, yet to the public it becomes listless, and the spectators have no opportunity whatever to enthuse, We would like to see it done away with.
