Here Is The Reason For All
This Flood of Long Hitting

The illustration shows cross sec
tons of balls used in the American
league this season and for the past
two years. The reason for the in.
crease In long hits is apparent.
They're making home runs in the
big leagues like Casey used TO.
The fame of Buck" Freeman as a
home run hitter, is destined to fade.
for young men on various teams are
making home runs regularly.
The reason is that hvelier ball is
used this year than last season. The
American league ball last year differ
ed from the old ball, because ii had a
center of cork, surrounded by rubber,
instead OF solid rubber cork.
This ball was not satisfactory
Pitchers said II did not hold it's shape
in the face OF hard hitting so the
manufacturers tried again. They re-
duced the cork core and increased the
thickness Of the rubber. The result
is lively oall that recalls Brother.
hood days.
In 1910 the cork center was an inch
and a quarter in diameter. The rub
Der was mere shell. This year the
cork is about half inch in diameter
and the rubber considerably thicker
This change Is the secret of the in
creased hitting. The new ball gets
away from the bat faster and acts pc
culiarly when hit upon the ground.
bounding faster than its predecessors
and in unexpected ways. The in
creased hitting will prevail doubtless
until pitchers devise something TO
overcome the handicap.

DOPE BY
TIP WRIGHT.

The mental salaries OF men con.
nected with baseball are higher than
the Singer building.
The difference between the money
paid and the sums said to be paid
would keep large family of the
bread line until helfrozeover.
Maybe Mathewson, Brown, Walter
Johnson, Evers, McGraw, Chance and
Ban Johnson do receive from $1,000
TO $4,000, as you have read, and
then again, maybe the author OF
these stories dreams when sleeping
on his back.
When | read of these stories about
an upto-date individual grabbing off

phrasing: Officer, he's loose again! -
The only human beings who really
take these yarns without the use OF
other are fans who are so nutty the
squirrels bark when they pass.
You have heard OF the $4,000 sal
aries OF McGraw and Chance; OF the
$4,000 remuneration OF Ban John
son and doubtless have asked your
self, is II on the level?"
And then you promptly forget it.
As a matter OF fact you don't care
whether they get the moneyor work
for the love OF the game-which they
don't.
AS a matter OF fact a large element
OF doubt exists in regard TO baseball
salaries, In the minds of the men
who are close to, but not in, the

| heard a famous baseball leader
say that Johnson received $4,000, not
$4,000 year. and that the latter
figure was given out for the public
to swallow.
