Ban on Freak Ball
Pitching Benefits

When the rule makers In the big
leagues abolished freak pitching, in
Guiding the emory ball, the licorice
ball and the paraffin pellet, In order
to increase batting. they builded bet
ter than they knew. IL the argument
that the public wants free hitting is
true. the public surely should be
satisfied with what happened In tho
way OF numbering pitched balls last
season, for never in the history of the
big leagues has there been such a
continued orgy OF swatting, clouting.
pounding and wallopinE as was
dished up for the delectation Of the
fans.
All smuggling records went to smash,
according to a bunch Of figures pre-
scented by /. f. Sanborn In the Chi
cage Tribune. And yet 1t is to be
pointed out that the really good
pitchers In the big circuits. tho Cow
eleskies. the Alexandsrs. the Shaw
keys. the Grimeses and the Shockers
didn't como to any real harm. Tho
high class pitcher, who has always
used his head as well as his arm and
didn't rely on artificial means to fool
the batters. came thru about as in
former years. But the middle class
and the boys lust getting In in box
work sot theirs and got II hard.
1t appears that in the American
League last season there were 1928
games in which a team rolled up a
total OF fifteen or more hits, In 1919
there were only sixty eight such
games. In the National League in 1920
there were ninety-one contests or
over. while In 1919 in that circuit
there were only forty-nins such
games. Looking over these figures we
see that this is an increase OF nearly
100 per cent in smuggling.
Apparently no one team had any
monopoly in these big score and big
hit games. The Yankees had big
lead in home runs, going over tho 100
mark. but this was due to the aid Of
Babe Ruth, who single handed polled
out fifty-six home runs. Still. with
out him, the Yanks beat all previous
team records in four-baggers.
A manager OF one of the big league
teams. when questioned as to the big
hitting sprees, said they were caused
by the poor quality OF reserve pitch
ing material carried by the majors
last season.
Il don't believe the abolition Of the
emory ball or the shine ball or those
other freaks had much to do with
The hitting" he said. The battsrs
simply had 1t on some Of the pitch
ers. The stars usually got by. But

HUGE POSTAL DEFICIT.
5urlsson Rsports SECOND Largest
Shortage in History OF Service.

Washington. Dec. desperation Of
the United States postal service for
the fiscal year 1920 resulted In a de-
iIcit OF $17,270. 4s2-the second larg-
est in the history Of the service
Postmaster-Gene Esurleson shows
In his annual report to the president
in which expenditures Of the post
office department are placed at $464,-
322, 609 and revenues at $437. 1b0, 312.
The postmaster general charges con-
gress with direct responsibility for
the deficit, explaining that the ex-
penditures included approximately
s33, $500 paid as a war bonus to
postal employees and stating that but
for this there would have been a
surplus of $1s,427.917. Mr.. Burleson
Says he declined to approve the
bonus action OF the legislative de-
partment, adding that he had offered
suggestions of another plan for COM
pensating the employees which would
have served the purpose without at
the same time giving blanket In
crease In pay to "thousands who were
already amply compensated"
| For reasons that can be readily
understood" ne continues, "the leg.
islative department rejected the sug-
gestions made by this postmaster
general and hence is directly respon-
| sible for the deficit which inevitably
followed the indefensible action.
The postmaster general feels con-
strained to point out that II a prompt
halt is not called and such policy is
persisted in. there will be deficiency
for the next fiscal year Of approx
mately $4,000. 600 and the postal es-
adjustment will cease to be self sup
porting, as 1t should be and will be-
| come a constantly increasing burden
upon the general treasury"
| Reference also is made to the de-
cision OF the interstate commerce
commission, granting the railways
additional pay aggregatirg $s,103,8S9
for carrying the mails. This served
likewise to Offset increases in postal
receipts. Mr.. Burleson declares.
Parcel post revenues. Mr.. BurIeson
estimates aggregate approximately
s15o,00o,000 or s1o,0Oo,000 more than
in the previous year. Postage on
second class mailings produced $685.
t07,s41, an increase Of more than 49,
100000 over 1919.
There has been an Immense in
crease" In the amount of mail handled
free by the postal service, Mr.. Burle-
son declares, adding that "the free
mailings of members of congress and
the various establishments Of the
government under the franking
privileges" cost in handling and
transportation approximately $780,
900.
The volume of mail of all kinds
likewise has increased. the report
shows. and Mr.. Burleson urgently
recommends the esta blishment Of
greater plants, especially in New
York and Chicago, where the stu,
atoms are represented as particu-
larry acute. fifth Of all of the
second class mail matter handled
originates in New York City and Mr.
Burleson recommends the construc-
ton there of three great buildings,
costing in the aggregate about 3o.-
100000 together with a tunnel con-
nection between them to expedtate
the handling OF mails. He also rec
ommends the construction Of one
large building in Chicago.

Picture Machine
as Athletic Aid

The use OF the cinematograph as a
trainer of track athletes promises 70
be In general use in this country
within the next five years, according
to Lawson Robertson. coach at the
University Of Pennsylvania. Robert
son witnessed a number of expert
ments on the use of the cinemato-
graph in connection with track work,
and he asserts he was amazed with
the possibilities of the machine.
|, One of the most difficult things to
teach the aspiring track and field
star is form. Sprinters must reccg-
nize form, otherwise they handicap
themselves in getting away from the
tape. Weight men must observe the
rules OF form, otherwise they ara
handicapped, and So it goes thru the
entire gamut OF track and field
events.
Mr.. Robertson says with the use
of the cinematograph, 1t will be pos
slble to take the picture of some
noted athlete who has the proper
form. then throw the picture on the
screen slowly, giving those interested
chance to study every move.
Movies Of some af the contests at
the last Olympic meet at. Antwerp
will prove valuable for presentation
to prospective track and field can
didates. In the jumping, for in
stance, every move Of the jumper
from start to finish Is shown clearly.
In the pole vault the pictures are es-
pecially interesting because they
show the proper form In going over
the cross bar. form that is quite
difficult for most novices to attain.
Mr.. Robertson says there is still
room for Improvement in picture
making for the purpose OF teaching
athletes, but these needed improve
menst deal largely with minor de-
tails and they will certainly be
worked out within the next year or
two. The well-known Penn track
mentor was solicited to assist in the
work Of perfecting the pictures for
reproduction as part OF a training
campaign.
The Penn coach says the nominal
cpst OF motion picture outfit for
such work will make the proposition
more allurinE to smaller colleges and
even high schools. than any ADVANCE
In coaching methods during the past
quarter Of century.
