as result of the strategy Of the
pitchers. 1t seemed as if every pitch
er almost over night began to pay as
much attention to move toward
first base as to the actual pitching.
Balks and half balk moves by pitchers
began to be common practice among
the major league pitchers. 1t got SO
that any time a pitcher failed to catch
y couple of runners mapping al first
he wasn't working his best. Incident
ally these near balk moves threw a
scare into the base runners, so that
instead of getting their usual lead off
first base they cut it about half the
distance. That. of course. greatly
minimized their chances any time they
went down to second in attempt to
steal The practice of using illegal
moves to first got to be as bad as has
the use of trick deliveries.
President Johnson of the American
League was one of the first to see
base running was suffering as a result
OF these illegal moves. Prior to the
opening of the season he sent a bull
letin to his umpires calling their at
tention to the use of so many illegal
moves. President Johnson went even
further. he called attention to the
pitchers who were violating the balk
| rule. about thirty pitchers being in
| cluded. He made it plain to his UNI
pires that if they didn't enforce the
rules. he would get officials who
would. That bulletin brought quick
! action. Balks galore were called. and
| inside of six weeks practically every
pitcher who had an illegal move had
discarded it. Base running improved

trick pitching. Remove the evil and

hoy MARVEL IN SPR|NTS
Australia Has Ten-Second Entrant
for Olympics in P. J. Heath,
School Lad.

Australia has an out and out boy
wonder for the sprints. and if the
athletic reports from the land of the
kangaroo prove to be reliable. the new
aspirant for fame is bound to startle
the universe. His name is p j.
Heath. In the Australasian interscho-
lastic championships recently he sue
ceeded in covering the 100 yards in
10 seconds, really wonderful time for
a schoolboy.
The style in which the youngster
scored his victory was most striking
At sixty yards he had the field SO well
in hand that he dropped his arms and
won easily by more than three yards
and a few of those who had watches
that registered tenths of second
claimed that Heath showed better
than "evens" for the century
AS to the method Of getting over
the ground. it is said that the youth
full kangaroo leaves nothing to be de-
sired. He is powerfully built chap
and strides long and low. thereby los
ing very little energy reaching for the
stride.
According to the sporting exchanges
from the land down below Heath
already is assured a place on the Aus
tralian team which will compete in
the Olympic games in Belgium next
August. He belongs to the same
family as Rod" w. Heath a Davis
cup lawn tennis player.

viii elimination of trick pitching help
batting? That is what many critics
are debating. Many think the pitchers
if prohibited from using the freak de-
liveries so popular for some years. will
invent some new wrinkle that will es-
cape the ban placed on the so-called
trick deliveries.
There is no doubt in my mind as to
the effect of the elimination of trick
pitching. 1t is bound to help batting.
l don't believe it will greatly increase
the number Of 800 hitters. although 1t
is certain to add a few points to the
average Of most batters. 1t is bound to
result i'll more free hitting, which, after
all. does not necessarily mean base hits.
There will be more hard hit balls. more
and pop flies. The harder hitting must
necessarily call for better fielding, which
is also sure to please. There is no
prettler play than brilliant running
catch by an outfielder. With freak
pitching eliminated. it is certain the out
fielders will have more work to per-
form
Some are skeptical as to the enforce
ment Of rules that may be made to
eliminate trick deliveries. To bring
about such a decision it is only neces-
sary that the umpires adhere strictly
to the rule. and that they be backed
pitchers who, they are positive, are still
using trick stuff Presidents johnson
and Heydler are the type of men who
will so indorse their umpires.

merely in powerful hitting. but in the
proper apportionment of good hitting
with such a knack as gives the right
amount of 'underspin' to the ball. One
of Prof Tait's calculations was
to the effect that in certain circum-
stances a man who impaired backspIn
to his ball when driving it might get
carry of about thirty yards more
than that obtained by another man
who hit as hard, but gave the ball no
'underspin.
My readers will appreciate the value
of an added thirty yards to their
drive. On some holes it might mean
lowering their game full stroke.
though in more cases it would give
them the advantage of mashie shot
to the green. while their opponent
might have to have another full shot
20 get home.
According to Prof. TAFT. the ball that
is properly driven is not only not con-
sciously aimed upward. but it is not
hit upward. Such ball for some
distance after it has left the tee. 1ol-
lows a line almost parallel to the
ground, and eventually rises as re-
suit of the underspin that Is forcing
it upward all the time.
And let me repeat here as emphasis
for nv readers Prof. Taits point made
nthe first article-that the erect OF
this "underspin' is to hold the pail
in the air" a longer length OF time,
thereby giving it plenty of opportu-
nitv to travel the full distance result
ing from the velocity of its hight In
short the "underspin" given to
driven ball is means OF neutrallz-
| ing the effect of the ,,s"rospheric re-
! sistance and gravity.
Evening star., 1920-02-23

Speaking of "underspin. James
Braid says: THE basis of the investi-
cation made by Prof. TAFT as stated
that when an object is poised in still
air the atmospheric pressure upon it
rs equal at all points; and. further.
that when a ball is made to rotate
in current of air that side of the
ball which is advancing to meet the
current is subjected to a greater
atmospheric pressure than the side
which is moving in the direction Of
the current
"Simp!ified and applied to golf this
means that when ball is sliced it
spins from left to right and that
there is then greater atmospheric
pressure which forces the ball toward
the right. But when the ball has
been pulled from the tee the spin is
in the opposite direction. and there
fore. the extra pressure Of the atmos-
phere is also from the opposite side,
with the result that the ball is press
ed to the left. When the ball has been
topped the spin on its front side is in
a downward direction so the extra air
pressure is downward also. and as in
this case the force of gravity is pull
ing in the same direction the down.
ward movement of the ball is very
quick and sudden. Lastly, when the
spin given to the ball on the tee is
the kind that makes the front side
move in an upward direction, t.. is
to say 'underspin.' the balance of the
atmospheric pressure tends to lift the
ball upward and in a contrary direc-
tion to the force of gravity.
"A very little thought will show
that the result of this must be to
keep the ball longer in the air than
il would remain If there were no 'un-
derspin.' since ii is the force Of grav
ity that pulls everything down. and
all the time that the ball is in the air
! IL has some of the velocity that was
impaired to il on the tee acting upon
il until the other forces, chiefly air
resistance. exhaust it.
at will be seen, therefore. that
pulls. slices. and balls that fly well
all arise from the same cause, the
! relation of the ball. and that the diff
| ference Is the direction of the rota
| tion which Is settled by the kind OF
! stroke that the golfer makes.
