Text	Henry Chadwick, in a recent article makes a suggestion worthy of the attention of all base ball managers. It refers to the method of preliminary practice now in vogue. Mr. Chadwick rightly contends that the present system is all wrong. He recommends the adoption of a new method of preliminary practice at match games which would admit of balls being pitched to the practicing batsmen. This would afford just as interesting an exhibition of fielding, and one more varied in its attractions for the spectators than is possible under the existing method of fungo batting practice. Mr. Chadwick thinks that were the batteries to take turn in regular practice, with the batsmen in position, new points of play might be tested to great advantage in the battery work as in the batting.
