Text | [from a column by Caylor] A player who can make a batting average of 250 per cent. and knows how to steal second base and always attempts it, is worth two of the 350 per cent. “sluggers” who need several other sluggers to help them make a run. Let the committee on the revision of rules work out a plan of scoring that will give full credit to meritorious base running and they will do the cause of professional ball playing a benefit that will bear immediate fruits. If such a system had been in vogue last year there would be no wondering by the laymen how St. Louis and Chicago won the championship from the “sluggers. |
