DIFFER AS TO .CLOUf|NG
Restrictions on Pitchers, Lively
Ball and Other Reasons
Are Put Forth,

Here are reasons advanced by some Of
base balls leaders in explaining the in
creased long distance hitting:
Iris Speaker. manager Of the world
champion Clevelapd 1ndians-'Ineffect-
i've pitching is the cause. They've bar
red the emeJy ball, the, splitter and all
the old deliveries. The pitchers haven't
anything left but glove and a prayer.
and they work the prayer overtime"
Ty Cobb. manager of the Detroit
Americans-"Base ball moYes in cycles.
We had the cycle of great base running.
have the cycle Of heavy hitting. 1t won't
last long"
Johnny Evers. manager Of the Chicago
Cubs-'It's the lively ball. The ball is
SO fast the players can't hahdle it and
the force that used to be used in bunt-
ing now puts the ball out of the infield.
The fast ball is crippling infielders and
spelling the game"
John Heydler, president Of the Ma
tional League-"Babe Ruth caused cit
to hit homers. and now the batters swing
their hardest. Every one takes full
swing at the ball; result. more long hits
than ever" ;.
Kid Gleason, manager Of the Chicago
White Sox-'It's partly the fast ball
has been so bad in the central west
that the western clubs pitchers are not
in condition. Most of the heavy hitting
has been in the east by eastern clubs
against western clubs pitchers"
ican League Club-"It's not the lively
ball, for there is no such thing. The
balls are all the same. The hitting Is
caused by the rules prohibiting pitcher
from doctoring the ball a little. He'd
rub dirt on it to roughen it up q little,
spit on it and do lots Of other things to
enable him to get better grip. These
things are barred now, and the pitchers
are ineffective as a result

Caught on the Fly

NEW YORK. June 24.-Harry Court
ney will be sent against the Yankees
in the inaugural of the set this after
noon. He probably will draw Carl
Mays as his box opponent. Courtney
recently has shown more effectiveness
than eat any time this year. His fine
batting also earned for him the, chance
to appear as a pinch yesterday.
He failed to produce as an emergency
performer. but is a dangerous sticker,
at that, and may be factor on the
offense in his own battle this after
noon.
Earl Smith finally came through in
an emergency yesterday when he pro-
duced a double that cashed a pair of
mates. Bingles have been far and few

TIGHTER BALL
Pitcher Meadows Says That Sphere
Is More Snug and Smoother
Than Before.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 24.-Lee
Meadows Of the Philadelphia Ma
tional Leogue pitching ftaff is of the
opinion that the manyk home runs
this year are not due to superior work
Of the batsmen. but to. the fact that
the base balls are wound tighter and
are more snug and smooth.
II was talking with Babe Adams" ."
Meadows is quoted as saying. Adams
said the ball was never as hard to
curve as this year. Being tighter
wound and tighter covered makes the
ball more resilient, and the fact that
the pitchers handicaps have been in
creased is. in my opinion. the cause of
the home run epidemic. It's the same
for all the pitchers. There is nothing
unfair about it."

mental lack of organization throws each
woman on her own resources and she
must therefore meet her problems essen
TALLY as an individual.
No German women seem able to talk or
general conditions without bitter reference
to their past sufferings. Difficulties and
deprivations since peace was declared
have kept alive and vivid in their minds
the accumulated horrors of those four end
less years of fighting.
Practically without exception they insist
that the war was forced upon Germany and
that their enormous sacrifices were made
in defence of the Fatherland. This Is an
interesting example of what national psy-
chology can do. No one here, man or
woman, is in the least penitent. While
acknowledging that Germany did not win
the war, they do not act like beaten peo-
pie. They are convinced that it was owing
to the whole world taking up arms against
them that they lost, and not because they
had an unrighteous cause
There is, however, much sentiment left
to-day in certain quarters, not German, for
seeing that Germany has fair play. They
feel assured that she can pay her indem-
nifty, and pay easily, If she is not throttled
1t is not without reason that the Chancel-

American boys-13,O0O there are in the
area. And because of the kindness and
consideration of these soldier boys to the
native children the parents have become
tolerant and even friendly to the Ameri-
cans
II the members of Congress who peri
odically demand that the "boys should be
brought home from the Rhine could come
here open mindedly and see those boys on
their job they might possibly find new
war cry.
No troops have ever shown signs of more
perfect discipline or looked in finer health
and condition. Their satisfaction with
this phase of foreign service is very evi-
dent.
Another side to be considered is how
long there would be peace in this valley
should the British and American forces be
withdrawn. Looking at 1t selfishly, it Is
to Americas interest, If for nothing else
to do everything possible to avert another
outbreak OF hostilities.
This army and the spirit Of it's admins
tration form the keystone that is holding
the whole fabric of the occupation together
by trying to prove that idealism and al
truism are, after ALL the most practical
things in the world as applied to human
affairs.
1t is the minds of the people that are at
war to-day. There is the same bitterness
as there was between our own North and
South after the civil war. Lincolns in
spired words at his second inaugural echo
down the years and should point the way
in Europe to-day as they did in America
in 1864.
The New York herald., 1921-09-18

During the war the greatest organiza-
tion of women in Germany was the Ma
tional Women's Service or Ndti0nGIe
Fereinigte FrduendieRste. Practically every
woman served in it, 1t cared for and OBJ
tained employment for those whose hus-
bands were in the army established day
nurseries and ran soup kitchens. AS the
war progressed it spread it's activities in
every direction.
AT present the women's chief field Of ef
fort Is among the children. Undernour-
ished for years, a great proportion of them
are the prey of ricketts, and tuberculosis
These women of the Rhineland are simple
and home-loving and care first and foremost
for their families
1t was pointed out the other day by a
German woman writer that Enthusiastically
the viewpoint of her country women is
separated by great gulf from that of her
sisters in England and America.
1t is not so much a matter of character,
although that has to do with it, as 1t is of
development and progress. Primarily she
has very little of that element that has

No Doubt About Suffering;
Middle Glass Hardest Hit

That they are suffering here, especially
the middle classes, cannot be disputed.
Those hit hardest are the professional
men and school teachers. The salary tax
is 10 per cent. on everything below $4,000
marks a year, and is then graded upward
like our income tax
Among many sad cases to be encoun-
tered is that Of a professional violinist

q wife and six children. The present price
OF childrens shoes is from $50 to 200
marks a pair and other necessities In pro-
portion. Such situation seems almost
desperate.
The wages Of those who work with their
hands although they are very low, appear
to suffice to keep them alive. Strikes
among them are not iufrequent and have
been successful in many cases in raising
wages.
Under the stress Of bitter necessity the
women have such struggle to keep their
children clothed and fed and their homes
habitable that their outside activities in
organized work and in the field of politics
are largely in allegiance.

classes play golf and tennis to a limited
extent, but as a general thing athletics are
still regarded as being out of their sphere.
Not only has custom served to limit her
activities to the immediate horizon Of do
mesticity, but the Government policy for
generations has been in that direction.
The well known mandate of the late
Emperor that women's interests should be
confined to the three K's-kinder, kuche
and kirche children, cooking and church)
has been no idle bit Of ALTERATION but
has been sustained by Government policy
There is a deep but almost passive re-
sentiment among thinking women toward
this state of things. They feel that they
have not had fair treatment from the men,
who have been their masters for so long.
The average German woman of every
class works hard, is thrifty and devoted
to her family, but her mind has not been
broadened by an active share in public
affairs. She has meekly accepted the role
of subordination prescribed for her, and
this suppression has resulted in violent
reaction. The very few women who have
emerged from this passive subsection have
become extremely radical. This act mill
tates against their influence on the immo-
lille mass of conservative women.
1t Is generally conceded that this funda-
