[from the Pittsburgh correspondent] The phantom hit is no more and, as “Gentle Jeems” Galvin remarked, “They ought to take the next feller that says anything in favor of a base on balls being called a base hit down to the trough and allow him to stay in until he dies.” It was never popular here and the change gave universal satisfaction.
