NEW YORK, Dec. 12. National Langim officials are .in fiivor of 1 0-mtm baseball teaniH anil liitchera who tiro just thut unci nothing', more. . What's more th?y will tajte their plan with them to Chicago for consideration Ht the 1 joint meeting with the .American League tomorrow. John A. Heydler, just re-elected an president of the National League for four more years, sug gested a radical chungo in tlio rules whereby weak-hitting pitch-, ors would have Homebody else to j do their batting and base-running for them. While his club ownera inclined a favorable ear, Mr. t Heydler explained that he felt the! rule change would speed up base-1 ball and at the same time, obviate1 the necessity of having so many . pinch hitters. Mi. Heydler pointed out that the rule need not be compulsory ' so that good hitting pitchers could bo permitted to take their regu lar turn at bat if managers so desired. Provided the suggestion meets with American League favor it iH possible that a special meeting of the rules committee would be i-alled in time to place- the sug gested change in effect Uofore the season starts. The officials may look with favor upon the plan, but it is scarcely likely that the pitchers themselves will do very much loud cheering over It. Under ihoiIphi heavy artillery conditions, pitch ers usually are confronted with night good batsmen nnyyay with out ma k ' n g it worse by adding Ft 111 another. The sight of a rival pitcher coming to the plate gives hurH-rs one of their few oppor lunities for rejoicing. j . Mri Ileydler'-s radical suggestion was the spice of an otherwise routine meeting nf the National league. A full blood Cherokee Indian (and a 100 per tent man is Hob !
