Throw Out New Balls.

The result has been the rejection by
umpires of many balls which have been
pitched only once or twice and are prac-
tically new and perfect The reason for
rejection Is that little rough spot on the
cover. Even II the umpires do not dis
card such balls, the players insist on
having it done. For that reason alone
dozens Of practically new base balls are
wasted every day in the two major
leagues. They cannot be repaired and
used again by any process yet discov-
cred.
Club owners whose plants are Of con-
crete construction throughout are the
chief sufferers President Comiskey Of
the White Sox asserted recently that an
average of twenty base balls per game
was being used up at his grounds. e1-
elusive of those stolen by spectators
A dozen used to be the average per
game.
Manager Mitchell of the Cubs COM
planned Of the same thing. but was in
clined to blame 1t to the poor quality Of
the base balls. He declared It required
an unusually large number Of balls for
the Cubs eastern trip. on which they
used them only during their own prac-
dce. The rules compel the homo club
to furnish the balls used during q
game. you know.
Moreover. the reflex Of the emery ball
is slowing up the games. Every little
while a batsman or manager will stop
play and demand that the ball be in
spected frequently q whole committee
has to pass on the appearance of the
pill before 1t finally 10 thrown out or
returned to the hurler.
