I\ . h . f It dn By PERCY H. WHITING. Amunp the minor reforms due in baseball none in more nec- esNar.v than’a reform Tri lhe seorinp rules, and e.s'peeiallv in the method of scoring “gamea won and lost" againat the pitchers. In the Southern an arbitrary rule hax been adopted to de cide which of two pitchers on the' same team gets credit for a game in which two perform. If the team ia ahead when a pitch er ia taken out, the game goes to him if it ia won, and ngninat the other man if it ia lost. If the team ia behind when the pitcher ia taken out and the game ia lost it goes againat him and if it ia won it goes to the credit of the man who relieves him. On the face of it thia rule ia fair enough hut time and again it hna worked i. hardship on the pitchers. Suppose A and H go in as rival pitchers and along in the second inning the score is 5 to 4 in favor of A'a team. Then if A is taken out and C substituted and C goes ahead and pitches wonderful ball to the end, never allowing another run, nnd really stops the advance of It's team nnd wins the game in seven and a half innings of hnrd work the credit for the game goes to A. Cases like the one mentioned here could be multiplied several times, for the possibilities of injustices are many under the Southern l.ciiguo method of scoring "games won nnd lost.” I. K. Stillborn, the Chicago hnselmll expert, writes to Sporting News along this same line as follows; I suggest that the American Ix-ague adopt the Improvements which have been Introduced in the official score sheets of the National league. The present American League score blanks, which follow the old lines, cull for a small amount of information to be recorded when two or more pitchers take part In a game. Alt that Is re* tpilred of the official scorer In addition to the usunl summary Is to set down tho number of Innings each pitcher worked, tho number of times at bat against each, the number of ruiiH and number of base hits made ofT each twlrler. Now this Is Insuffi cient information on which to determine which pitcher won or lost s game. The National 1-eague score blanks call for all the above In formation to lie tabulated, nnd la addition the official scorer Is re quired to fill out a space calling for information as to the ex act situation when the change of pitchers was made. If, tin the middle or an Inning, the number of men out and the number of men on bases are recorded on tho blank. With this information the secretary cun make n fairly close guess In most cases, as ttt which pitcher deserves credit or blame tor a victory or defeat. There are situations, however, in which even that falls and ll Is further required of the acorers lhat, when such occur, the scorer express In the proper space Ills opinion of the mntter. In this way the secretary always has the facts ss nearly as- ns possible as If received from his own observation and If the scorer's opinion Is wrong he enn check it up and correct It by the data lit front of him on the blank. The met hod in use in the National League seems the only rn- ttonal one and ought to he adopted in the Southern Lt-aguc. So ought a number of other improvements in the scoring s. Even the major leagues are behind in this. The Southern moguls should talk the matter over at their meeting and then let Clark Miller, secretary to the president and the league’s ex pert on seoring questions, make out n hunch of rules which cover the situation. The present seoring rules in the official rule hook are a joke. And while humor is all right in its place that is not the place. * WANT LIMIT ON PLAYERS SbnUI to Tho Gforglnn. Jnrkxonvlllf. Flu..
