IS BATTING DUE ID
 FALL OFF IN 1924?
Fans Expect 10 See More Base Running and Winning Pitching
By Billy EFans)

Is batting due for slump in the majors
 Will base running again become d prominent factor in winning ball games?
 Are major league pitchers to regain some Of their lost effectiveness with fewer new balls being put into play :
 These question are being raised by training reports from the south. The major league pitchers are a unit in believing they will be far more ef- fectiyn by not being forced to use new balls almost constantly.
 The belief of the pitchers that they are certain 10 be more of a puzzle has caused many of the managers to opine that base running will again figure prominently,
 All of which makes it seem that batting is to suffer.
 For five or six years slugging has featured the national pastime. A comeback on the part Of the pitchers would add bit of variety 10 the sport unless it should be too pronounced.
 Working with an old ball is decid- cd advantage to a majority of pitchers in the big show.
 The spitball pitchers, alone. prefers . brand new one. Take Stanley Cove'- eskie, star of the Cleveland club. for instance. Often he has requested me 10 throw out slightly marred ball that other pitchers would welcome.
 Coyeleskie tells me that he is able 10 get a much better break on his splitter with new ball. However, tho spitball pitcher is thme exception, and there are only few left.
 The thought is that any old ball that is not badly iefaced, should be kept in play until the unpircs believe its use is dangerous 10 the batsman.
 cnrye-ball pitchers suffered morc through pitching legislation than any other class.
 It is much easier to throw n curve when pitching an cid ball. Tho break of the curve hrgely depends upon tho grip or purchase the pitcher is able 10 get on the ball.
 A new ball is sad news 10 a curve artist. since the smooth surface makes jt a difficult matter for him 10 firmly grip the ball.
 In addition, the rule preventing T pitcher from using resin was also n direct slap et tn, curye-bali pitcher. Resin was used for inc purpose Of helping the grip.
 Pitching new balls deprived Of resin as well. has made the life of eursn- ball pitcher q tough one for several years.
 Tho oll ball rule is sure 10 help pitchins, regardless of any other effect 1t may have on the game. There Is only ono danger Itmay cause some Of the twirlers Co go back to the trick stuff. which is easily made possible when working with an old ball.
