Baseball Stars Explain
 WhyHitting Isl Common

Chicago.-Here are the reasons ad7 Vanced by some of baseball's leaders in explaining the increased long distance hitting:
 Iris Speaker, manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians ''Ineffec tive pitching is the cause. They have barred the emery ball. the splitter and all the .old deliveries. The pitchers haven't anything left but glove and prayer, and they. work the prayer overtime"
 Ey Go6b, manager of the Detroit Amer.cans-"Baseba ball moves in cycles. We had the cycle of great base run- ming. the cycle of great pftching, and now we have the cycle of heavy hit ting. It won't last long,
 Johnny Evers, manager of the Chi cago Cubs-'1t's the lively ball. The balA is so fast the players can't handle it, and the force that used 50 be used in bunting now puts the ball out of the infeld. The fast ball is. crippling in- felders,and spelling the game.'' !. John Heydler, president of the Ma tional League-'B Babe Ruth caused it.. Babe made everyone think it was easy to hut homers and now the batters swing their hardest. Everyone takes B full swing at the ball; .result-more long hits than ever."
 Kid Gleason, manager of the Chi cago White Sox-''It's partly the fast ball and partly the fact that the weather 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.,'
 Frank Masin.e president of Detroit League Gu ub-r-..lt's not the lively ball.. for there is no. such thing. The balls are all. the. same- The hit- ting is caused by the rules prohibiting a pitcher from doctoring the ball lit tie. He'd rub dirt on it to roughen it up 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"
