GIVE REASONS
 FOR INCREASE IN HOME RUNS
CBy Associated Press)

CHICAGO LGly Here are req sons advanced by some of baseballs
 leaders in explaining the increased long distance hitting:
 Iris Speaker. manager of the world champion Cleveland Indians: "Inef. fective pitching is the cause. They've barred the emery ball, the splitter and all the old deliveries. The pitchers haven't anything left but the glove and prayer and they work the prayer overtime"
 Ty Cobb, manager of the Detroit Americans: Baseball moves in cycles. We had the cycle of great base running. the cycle of great pitch2 ing and now we have the cycle of heavy hitting. It won't last long
 Johnny Evers, manager of the Chi. cago Cubs "Its the lively ball The ball is so fast the players can't han GIc it and the force that used to be used in bunting now puts the ball out of the infield. The fast ball is Crip- bling infelders and spelling the game"
 John Heydler. president of the Ma. tional league: Babe Ruth caused it. Babe made everyone think it was easy to hit homers and now the batters swing their hardest. Everyone takes full swing at the ball; result, more long hits than eyer"
 Kid Gleason. manager of tho Chi cago White Sox: "Its partly the fast hall and p~r'ly the fact that tn" weather has rnon so bad in tho cnr- ral west that the western clubs pitchers arc not in condition. Most of tho heavy hitting haa been douo in the east by eastern clubs against western pitchers"
 Frank Navin. president of the De- troit American league club: "Its not the lively ball. for there is no such trinc. The balls arc all the same re hitting is caused hy the rules prohibiting a pitcher from docto"ing to roughen it up a little, spit on it to roughcn il Il pa little, spit on i' 0nd do lots of other thing 10 en@hlo him to got better grip. These thin@s are barred now, and the pitch ora arc ineffective as result"

It doesn't seem so very long ago that we sat by the r!ngside in the hot sun at Reno to watch Jim Jeffries and Jack Johnson fight it out for the big honors.
 That was on July 1. 1910. The grim reaper has taken a heavy toll from the world of sports since that time, however.
 That hot day at Reno we saw many a face that was missing at Jersey City.
 Among those who have passed away are Big Tim" Sullivan, the stake holder; Billy Jordan. the announcer; ; Billy Delaney, who was Johnson's chief handler; Nat Goodwin. Bob Yer. non, Frank Gotch, Tom Corbett. Eddie Smith. Mike Murphy, the great train CT; four great writers. ". w. NaIgh- ton, H F.. Keough (Hek), Jack Lon don and C. F..

 Before the battle, the movie men lined up big bunch of sporting celeb rites in the ring for a pose. In that lineup were men who were or had been champions in their respective classes. Tommy Burns alone survives the lineup.

MCLINTIC DENIES HE TOLD
OF PRESSURE BY PACKERS
Herald's Account of House Filibuster Read
Into Record by Oklahoman.

The one-man filibuster conducted
in the House during the past three
days by Representative McClintic,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, with the
announced purpose of keeping a
quorum present for the transaction
OF business, produced results yester-
day when Representative Knutson,
Republican whip, telephoned Repub-
licans and Democrats alike. urging
their attendance upon the floor.
McClintic partially broke his ST.
lence as to the cause of his warIike
attitude when he read into the Con-
gressional Record the article printed
in The Washington Herald yesterday
morning, in which his flibuster Is
attributed to the belief that a pack
ers' lobby had been instrumental in
preventing his assignment to the
Committee.
He absolved the members Of the
Committee on Committees from any
that the charge of infiu-
ence by a packers lobby had been
inspired by him, but suggested that
where there is lot of smoke, there
must be a little fire"

can see no reason why an honest
packer. would not be willing to have
hic business regulated in order that
1t might receive future protection.
Il am in favor of the regulation
of the packers, but / do not know
whether they have brought any
pressure TO bear to keep me out Of

progress of the House. and the only

the regular way, and because / want
to cut out some of the abuses TO
which I have called attention"
McCHntiC resumed his filibuster
later in the day when he demanded
a separate vote on all amendments
to the diplomatic and consular ap-
preparation bill. His insistence upon
a quorum for the purpose forced ad-
jOurnment without vote.
