DIAMOND PLAN
National League Head Sug
gests Pitchers Do No
Batting' Tenth Player
Would Hit and Run Bases
for Hurler.
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.

Tradtj winds have blown Jess Petty
into a Pirate uniform in the same
gale that deposited (ilenn Wright,
lute of Pittsburgh, in Brooklyn.
Wright, one of the greatest
shortstops in the mnjors two years
ago, will do his batting and field
ing for Uncle Wilbert Robinson
at Rbbets field noxt summer, while
Petty is pitching his left-handed
slants for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
This trade, completed yesterday,
sent Harry TElconda, utility infield
er, to the Pirates along with Petty.
Wright and Petty both have been
classed among the "bad boys" of
baseball. Wright played u good
share of the 1 !HI7 season on the
Pirate bench, while young Dick
Itartell cavorted at shortstop. Pet
ty, long disgruntled at Brooklyn,
was suspended at the height of the
pt season for breaking trntntnu.
