MOIST BALL
in DISCARD
NATIONAL LEAGUE AGAIN TAKES
UP CRY AGAINST USING
SPIT BALLS

Chicago H.. Jan. S-Once more the
cry is heard that more batting is re-
quired in baseball. The cry emanatcs
from the National league. In Ban
Johnson's circuit it is not seriously de-
manded because Ty Cobb. iris Speak

their mighty swatting.
1t appears to be the belief among
the National league magnates that the
twirlers are too effective and too
strong defensively, which they give as
the reason for the lack of hitting.
They want to deprive the slabmar Of
some of his power, increase the attack
to produce heavy hitting and to put
more runners on the bases to add
thrills to the play
President Tener and his assicates
have already moved to take from the
pitchers some Of the effectiveness by
legislating against the use of the spit
ball. At the recent meeting in New
York it was announced that the moist
ball would not be permitted after the
season Of 1918. Two years are given
the twirlers who depend on it to de-
velop another method of hurting. The
league also ruled against the use of
resin.
Most managers in the National
league 60 not favor the continuance of
the spitbal. but believe that it is too
late now to abolish it. They contend
that it should have been barred as
soon as it became prominent, as was
done with the emery ball They do
not think the league will have much
success in prohibiting the spitball.
The minor leagues are developing
young pitchers whose principal asset
is the moist delivery. If the club
owners know they cannot use these
recruits they will go to the American
league and il will be difficult for
Tener's circuit TO acquire promising

Grain Review

Chicago, Jan. S.-Prospects of con-
tinued heavy exports and of diminish
ing stocks in the United states led to-
day to a general rush to buy wheat.
Apparently a majority of dealers be-
lieved that the outlook was for con-
tinuance Of the war, and that the need
Of supplies in Great Britain and other
European countries was becoming IN
creasingly urgent. In this connection,
bulls put emphasis on reports of the
larger number of vessels available now
to move grain. Opening prices. which
ranged from Il to CSC higher with

Much attention on the Part of bulls
was given to the full text of remarks

situation. Largely as a result Of big
falling off in the United States visible
