RULES COMMITTEE is
AGAINST MOIST BALL
Change Making the Pitcher Work
on own Merits Likely to
be Passed.
International News Service:

International News Service:
NEW YORK, Nov. 29.--The moist
ball, now used by numerous pitchers
in the major leagues, has been the
cause Of so many costly fielding err
rors that the rules committee may
legislate against it just as against the
emery ball. The moisture which
remains on the ball after it is hit
from the bat often causes the field
ers to throw it wildly. and more than
che manager is in favor Of abolish
ing the wet toss.
The use Of slippery elm and
licorice makes it even more danger
out for the fielders to handle. Rosin
is another substance generally used
by pitchers which may also be pro-
hib,ted. There is a strong tendency
among the rule makers to put a stop
to all sharp practices in pitching,
and make the pitchers work solely
on their own merits.
