Cub Chief Discovers
Cause of Lively Balls

CHICAGO, June 11-Discussing the
lively ball now in use in the major
leagues Friday. President William
Veeck Of the Chicago Cubs, curious
whether there really is any difference in
the pellet being used at present com
pared to the one of last season, cut open
a 1920 and a 1921 ball This was done
in the presence of several of the players
and newspaper men and they did not
need a magnifying glass to see that the
rubber In the 1921 ball was thicker than
In the 1920 ball
President Veeck did not stop at this in
vesti gation. He secured two more 1921
balls and cut them open. There was a
difference again. The rubber was
virtually the same as that put in the
center Of the 1920 ball, and in one Of the
balls the cork in the center of the rubber
was larger, showing that the body Of
the baseballs are not all the same.
