ball will be ushercd in next season
critics agreed today following decision
of the National League to permit
pitchers to use resin on the ball to
get q better grip. The American
League is expected to follow this lead
at its Wednesday afternoon session
with ratification at the Thursday
joint meeting.
The resin will be used under the
direction of the umpircs." President
Heydler Of the National League said
in discussing the move.
I'VE took this ste not only to give
the pitchers a little break for which
they have been clamoring ever since
the freak deliveries were banned a
few years ago, and also to conserve
bascballs.
USE 10000 BALLS.
1T Is an astounding fact that i'll
tine National League last summer
there were used 40,1G4 baseballs. more
than $500 in excess of our 1924 uses
and 20.000-imaginc it.-more thar
we used in 1920.
Holding the pitchers down did it.
We had TO watch them closely for
trickery and thousands of balls werc
thrown out of the games by umpires
Il believe that the failure Of pitch
ers to get fair grip on the ball has
been the root of all our 'doctoring'
troubles"
The resin will be carried in small
sacks by the umpires and passed out
TO the pitchers on request.
EARLIER FINISH.

ird as favoring hating its season the

NEBRASKA AND
NOTRE DAME
IN SPL|TUP

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Dec. 9.-CP)
The University of Notre Dame and
Nebraska have broken off athletic re-
lations after a conference between Of
ficials of the two schools.
While Knute Rockne, Notre Dame
athletic director. would make no fur.
ther statement. Coach Ernest Bearg of
Nebraska said in Lincoln that dis
gruntled gamblers, who lost on the
17-to-0 defeat of Notre Dame Thanks
giving Day, were primarily respon'
sible.
HOSTILE SPIRIT.
Reports here said a hostile spirit
had existed between the schools for
several years and had been famed be-
fore and after the 1925 game by treat
mcnt accorded Notre Dame players by
Lincoln, Neb., townspeople. Refer
ences. regarded as discourteous and in
sulting, were made to the Notre Dame
men in poems placardcd in windows OF
Lincoln business houses.
Bearg denied that the players had
been insulted or Inundated, and point
ed to Rockne's assertion before the
game this year that the ovation given
the team was the greatest Notre Dame
had received.
THE whole affair, to my mind, has
been brought about by deception work
cd on the persons who lost heavily on
the game" said Bearg. Il regret that
Notre Dome officials were influenced
but it is that school and not Nebraska
that will have explaining to do when
the facts are known"
