FATE 'AT THE-HELM. Late at the Play.

Of cours_e, the playinggt rules have been continually altered`? p to favor the pitcher. As witness, the reduction in the number of balls t and strikes, the shortening of the ` distance to the. pitcher s box, the 2 fou1-bunt. strike, and so forth. It I may be very interesting to some to 1 watch a few-hit game, but the major- 1 ity of fans prefer to see free batting, ` ,1 and would like to have-the restric- 1 `tions loosened up a little. Talking` 1- about pitching feats, I remember - once-in I887-in the old Interna- t tional League seeing Ed. Crane, with Ed the Torontos, strike out 16 of the .t- Hamilton players.
