RumOr Has 1t
Lively Ball Is
To Be Slowed Up
By NEA Service.

by NEA Service.
New York, March 8.-Wil the
baseball be as lively this year as
last?
Despite the fact that the scheme
for coming home runs by increasing
the regulation distance to 800 feet
failed, it is said that most of the
club owners are agreed that the
home run is becoming too common.
The liveliness of the baseball is
made possible by the material used
in the production of same, and the
manner in which the yarn is wound
around the cork center.
No change has been made in the
cork center. 1t is identically the
same as when home runs were rare.
The lively ball has been made pos
sible by far better yarn and work.
manship.
1t would be an easy matter to tone
down the ball by simply winding
the yarn trifle more loosely or cut
ting down on the quality of the
yarn.
1t is said that the home-run fea-
ture was taken up at both major
league meetings. The feeling was
that it should be curtailed.
1t won't be very long now before
it will be possible to judge as to the
liveliness of the ball. Major league
