Are the collogos Il good field for the major league ball clubs?
 Fifteen years ago majority of the big league managers would have ridi- culed the idea,
 h those days Conni" Mack was the only leader who had faith in tho col legian as n baseball prospect.
 Ii was Mack who paved tho way for the "rah-rah" athlete when he de- Yeloped Eddie Plan. Jack Coomhs and Eddie Collins and Jack Barry into big league stars.
 All Of them came direct from the college field and made good in inc big show. They had no other baseball oX- prrirnco. or course it required 6 few years 10 acquire q major league polish and become stars.
 Mack's ability 10 visualize as to tho possibilities Of the collcgian for q time gave him the pick Of the school athletes. That time is past. Major league scouts now explore the college field as thoroughly as they

 Five College stars
 It is a rather interesting fact that iivc of the game's greatest players came direct from the college field and made good.
 In the matter Of playing second base it would be difficult matter to pick two more brilliant players than Eddie Collins and Frankie Frisch. Both are the educated type athlete,
 Collins was dug ID by Comic Mack back in l907. Eddie was then a star at Columbia University in both foot ball and baseball. Under the tutclage of Mack he has developed into one of the greatest infieldrrs of all time.
 Frankie Frisch is . graduate of Fordhnm. He stepped right into the New York Giants lineup and made good on his first appearance. He first won fame at third base.

As result of the enforcement ot President Johnson's suggestion two questions were definitely settled. IL was proved that the umpres could cut the ball expense about 30 per cent by care in throwing out the balls. Incidentally. the use of old balls tend ed to greatly improve the effective ness of the pitching. think it would be conservative 10 say that the Amer ican league pitching was 20 per cent more effective during the last two months of the season.

don't think th" matter ol cNpense is the chief Objection. Thcrc is de- sire for better pitching. something to cuuntcract fine lively ball t"nqucs- iionably the keeping or the balls in play long r time will stiffou up the pitching. That has already been proved in inc American league.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-19

During the last two months of the American league season. the umpires at the suggestion of President John- son exercised much more care in the throwing out of balls. It was an ex- pertinent to help pitching.

NATIONAL LEAGUE
 ID CURTAIL BALLS
UmpireS Ordered to Be ECOnOmi,
 cal in Their Use
(By Billy Eyans.)

I see where the National league in tends to instruct its umpires to be more careful about throwing out balls. Last season over 5,000 more baseballs were used in that organiza- ton than in 1929. In both major leagues about eight times as many balls are used in the course of a sea- son as was customary, say, 15 years back.

For perhaps five years major league pitchers have been forced to work al- most constantly with new ball. Pitchers protested strenuously, par ticulafly those depending on a curve ball for success.

It became a habit for umpires to throw out balls on the slightest pre- text Refusal to do so invariably caused delay and argument. The um- nires naturally took the easiest way cut, I don't think anyone would blame them for that, as they have enough to worry about aside from constant bickcrings over the condition of tho hall. Immediately tho battcrs went on a rampage as a result Of the lively ball and mediocre pitching.

rsych 1logy plays q large part in the thoughts Of the batsnan and pitcher. 1 hava scon both take serious obirc- lions to ball that was perfect in every way. Often ! have agreed with them that the bali was unfit. given them a new ball. but instead Of throw ing tine old bail out would place it in my pOckr. When the now ball for some reason would go out Of play would come back with thr ball 10 which both batter and pitcher had objected. and have the game go on without jhe slightest objection oa ihc pat ol either

The umpires also had another req son for throwing out II ball which did not look good to the player. even though the ball was in fairly good shapo-self-protection.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-19

The umpire not desiring to court danger the possibility of having some star player seriously injured by the ball they refused to throw out. went to the other oNtrgmc in the matter and threw out wlil reckless abandon as a matter O. protection.
New Britain herald., 1924-02-19

II so happens that on several occa- sions the batsmsn took occasion 10 object to the ball The umpire after looking it over carefully. decided that lt was if for play. Perhaps on tho next ball pitched the batsman would be hit by speedily pitched ball. lm- mediately he would insist that the poor condition Of tho ball caused the pitcher 10 lose control. Incidentally that would offer an out or alibi for the pitcher. and he would agree with the contention Of the batsman.
