(By Associated Press)

CHICAGO. Dec. 30.-Ban Johnson,
American league president today eX-
planned the reasons for the Jack Tab-
bit" baseball of the 1921 season which
tipped from the bat with such start
ling speed. The lively ball which
some players say was responsible for
some OF the sensational batting last
summer, had been attributed by por-
ton of the fans. to some sort of in
side baseball intrigue.
The real cause, said Johnson, was
simply that manufacturers were again
able to secure good yarns for the
spheres. When the war made if i'm
possible to use the better yarn, a
cheaper grade which was substituted
he explained. and wrapped more
tightly than had been the custom
When better yarn was again available
the manufacturers, failed lat first. TO
so back to the old method of winding.
Another cause. he added was that
the rubber covering of the cork cores
was sometimes uneven in thickness so
that when the batter connected where
there was good depth of rubber, the
ball streaked away in sensational
fashion.
