MAKES EFFORT TO STOP‘FLUKE' ‘ St. Petersburg Fla., March 19 — fUI'F- Ernest S. Barnard, president •f the American league. hopes to eliminate baseballs “cheap home tun" without tampering with the pi esen lively bail. Barnard revealed to a Uniter! Press representative that he had taken up the mutter optic ally with a,I Amer.i-ati League club owners, and that while as yet he had received no ready response, he was hopeful Os success. The league head said that ha had proposed that all home run . . seniors t.lcse.r . th.:>.'j.. 3sofeet to the plate be screened off. He indicated taat the uiceptance of his idea de pended on he attitude of the Nev folk Yankees. All the other own . er.-:, he said, were adverse to passng any legislation which might be interpreted as a possible blow at the Yankees. "I have asked our league to adopt a nite which would call for a 30foot screen in all home run areas wihin 325 fee of the plate and a 20-foot screen between 315 and 350 leet" Barnard said. “This would make obly the territory beyond 35€ feet absolutely free for the Home Run hit er. and would raise the four base dr ve in the estimation of the fans. ‘ This screen proposal might look j like a potential handicap for Babe Ruth. But as a matter of fact the I adoption of my idea would glorify llu h, make him bigger than ever, and male his feats stand out more resplendent ly. "You know how Ruth hits those home runs around the circuit, and 1 doubt if his total would be retimed by as many as three or four, Ru h hits hem into the street in Cleveland, where there is a 45-foot screen in right field. He hits them out of the park in Detroit, St. Louis

I thing it's lime to step in a id do something to cut down the mama. "The public wants the lively ball : w th the speed It has brought into , baseball, but it doesn't a i Hoi ks of cheap home runs And it ' would appreciate a return of some of the older sort of hitting, by all means let us not do anything to really hamper a man like Ruth." 1 The screening proposition would affec. only foiii American League parks New York, Philadelphia, St Louis and Detroit. In the lust two named cities screens already in place would have to be heightened, in Philadelphia the lower tier of the far stands would be shut off. In New i'Oi'H the iigii; left field bleuthe: uttd tire left f.eld stand would be affected.
