regular attendant at the meet ings of the ontario association and has a number of trophies to show for his skill at the game over the years are pitchers improving or have batters lost their drive never before within the mem ory of the current crop of baseball experts have so many lowhit games been pitched at this early stage of the major league season scarcely a day passes but some club is shackled with a one two or three hitter there already have been a no hitter a double one hitter and so many other brilliant performances that one begins to think that there must be some obscure reason for these figures chalked up so early in the sche dule baseball manufacturers claim they have done nothing to the horsehide with the exception of raising the price since rabe ruth hit sixty home runs
