Al Simmons, voted the most valu
able player on Connie Mack's
Athletics, ranks-third, seven points
away from Heilmann.
Whilf the two veterans had ffroat
years at tho bat, the youngster
Simmons, in his second year as a
big leaguer, really had a shade on
both of them.
Simmons, plnylng in only three
more games than Heilmann made

chuinp.und. totaled A3 more bases.
Inoidentlly he scored 25 more runs.
.Since Simmons played In 3ti more

A report from 1 'resident Heyd- :

preceded consideration of the
playing rules. Mr. Heydlcr point
ed out that this total was 245 doz

than were put into piny in I!t2ii.
TlnJ league's position with re. ;

mlttee of the major and minor !
rubs. Commissioner l.andis hal
been requested to call a meeting oi
the rubs body in February. j
"We recommend," Mr. Heydlcr ,
expluhied, "that tho rosin be used
under the direction of the umpire.
It will make for better games and
cut down the rapidly mounting to
tal of balls wo are being required
to use. We have, come to the con
clusion that failure of the pitchers
to get a fair grip is the root of our
troubles."
