The batting question has been sprung in the Western Association where the National League or Spalding's dead ball is used instead of Keefe's Players' League or Reach's American Association ball. The heavy batting clubs naturally object to a ball that does not give a fair showing in favor of the batter, and the management of some of the clubs are inaugurating a vigorous kick on the official ball. The Denver, St. Paul and Sioux City clubs have been especially active in the effort to secure some change, either in the ball used or in the rules, that shall favor the batter.
