Text | We suggest as new rules, that the game be changed from nine to eleven innings. As it is now played, it is entirely too quick, the games played last season by both the Philadelphia and Athletic clubs averaging only one hour and a half to each game. Eleven innings would lengthen the game to about two hours and fifteen minutes, which is certainly short enough. Give your patrons the worth of their money, and they will come again. |
