Here is a novel suggestion on batting increase, offered by Tom Gunning, of the Athletics--”The number of innings should be reduced to seen, and the number to be put out in each inning be increased from three to four. This increase in the number to be put out would give a better chance for the bunching of hits and circumvent the now frequent and non-interesting scattered hitting. With four men to be put out a man might make a sacrifice without throwing too much responsibility upon one man.
