N YEw YORK, June II R.-
Base ball magnates see no
reason to view the home run
4 epidemic or its cause, the
lively ball, with alarm. Quite
the contrary, in fact, they are quite
willing to admit the ball is lively, per-
haps a little livelier than in 1928;
furthermore, that the customers as
well as the players like 1t.
back by John Arnold Heydler, the
National Leagues chief executive. after
a trip through the western part Of
the circuit that included session Of
the club owners in Cincinnati.
Due to Stand Pat.
After an exhaustive analysis Of the
whole ''lively ball situation the
National League club owners, Heydler
said, have concluded that nothing
needs to be done about it, whatever.
big increase in home runs in the rise
of group Of new sluggers. Essential
" they consider the ball no different
from that of last year but If it is at
all livelier 1t is due to slight change
in the cover by which, through new
process, the surface is roughened by
the manufacturer.
For the past few years, our practice
in the National League has been to
have the umpire take the shine of the
ball by rubbing 1t In moist earth"
said Mr.. Heydler. The purpose Of
this was to speed up the games and
save the time lost by players tossing
around and rubbing new ball to
take off its slippery newness.
Now the manufacturers do that for
us. They have a process that takes
off the shine and makes the surface
of a new ball easier to grip.
This gives the batters white balls
to hit at nearly all the time. Also the

ball is drier and may carry farther
when hit squarely. by comparison with
one that has been moistened or other
wise partially deadened.
THE combination of this and the fact
that many players are taking a bigger
cut at the ball probably accounts for
the increase in home runs. This is es-
pecially true of the Phillies, where play
ers like Klein, O'Doul, Hurst. Whitney
and others of that club are all taking
a full swing. Why. I see players nova
and even and o. Imagine one Of the
old-tiners doing that!
by contrast. what I saw Of the Chi
cago Cubs indicated they are not try
ing to break any home-run records.
Hack Wilson was the only player
noticed taking full swing consistently.
So you can see 1t averages up. Our
figures show that the most marked in
crease in home runs has occurred at
the Polo Grounds and at Baker Bowl,
the Phillies' park. Both have good tar
gets for the long hitters.
Enjoy Heavy Hitting.
IT think the fans nowadays enjoy the
heavy hitting and that they would pre-
fer an exciting, free-slugging game to
a close pitchers battle We still have
lots of good pitching Our figures show
that less than Is per cent Of the re-
suits go into double figures. But the
so-called lively ball gives the hard
hitting club more of a chance against
the team with superior pitching and de-
Tense"
Mr.. .Heydler's figures, incidentally,
throw little light on why the Yankees
are so far behind the Athletics in the
American League race. Last year, when
the Yanks were far out in front them
selves, they had amassed AZ home runs
up to June 5. On the same date this
season their total was only Is circuit
blows and their standing in the race
correspondingly lower.

Crackers. something Grifflth had as
sured Atlanta fans he would endeavor
to do. It seems that under base ball
law the Nationals have lost Campbell
altogether, as the Saints had nothing
whatever to do with the interest the
washington club held in Atlanta at the
time the deal was made, and that they
have no claim at present on the services
of Gard. This is something for Judge
Lands to settle, as Griffith reasons the
Crackers now are not entitled to Gard,
and he will ask that the pitcher be
turned over to washington.
Grifith also is to seek the return OF
the $1,000 given Spiller last week as
binder when the Washington club
agreed to take over the Atlanta prop
erty. AS Spiller is unable to transfer
TO the local organization what 1t had
agreed to purchase, the washington
president holds his club should be reim-
bursed. And this Is not something for
Judge Lands to settle.

He was informed through long
distance telephone from the
Georgia capital by Edward B.
Eynon, jr., secretary of the Wash
ington club, that the deal was off.
Eynon and Joe Engel, scout of
the Nationals, who was to have
become president of the Crackers,
had been in Atlanta since Tues
day endeavoring to close the deal,
negotiations for which had been
carried to such an extent last
week by Griffith and other repre-
sentatives of the Washington club
that both organizations an
nounced the transfer of the fran
chise and all physical properties.
THE hitch came yesterday, when,
upon investigation, 1t was discovered
the Southern Association has ruling
that no club in organized base ball will
be permitted to purchase franchise In
that league without the act being ap-
proved by a three-fourths vote of the
league directorate. President John
Martin of the Southern Association
informed Secretary Eynon he was posi-
tive the directorate would not approve
of big league ownership of any club in
the circuit.
Knew Nothing Of Rule.
Grifith says Rel Spiller, Atlanta
club owner, did not let the Washington
club representatives know Of this rule
when negotiations for the transfer were
conducted last week. IF he had, the
Washington club would not have, under
any circumstances, considered taking
over. the Atlanta franchise" the Wash
1ngton president declares.
Now the washington club is to
abandon its farm ownership idea for
the present, although it is likely to
cast about for some minor league hold
ing before next season rolls around. In
the meantime the Nationals probably
will continue their farming" agree
ment with the Birmingham club of the
Southern Association. although Presi-
dent Griffith makes no positive state
ment to this effect. The Washington
Birmingham accord has been helpful to
both clubs, however, for several years,
and with no owned minor club the Ma
tionals might not fare so well outside
of Birmingham.
The abrupt termination of the nego-
tiations for the transfer of the Atlanta
franchise leaves the Washington club
in the lurch in a deal effected only
wednesday with the ST. Paul club of
the American Association and the
Crackers. When Griffith returned Arch
Campbell, pitcher. drafted from st. Paul
last Fall, to this club Wednesday it was
with the understanding that the, Saints
were to turn over to Atlanta Joe
Giard, a left-handed hurler To get
Giard for Atlanta Griffith sold Camp
bell back to the Saints at less than the
draft price.
This was done, of course to help the

1t is significant that the socialist
party glories in the approval given
its leading candidate by this big
business outfit. The Jewish Daily
Forward in its Monday issue plays
up the endorsement of the Citizens
Union under three column head on
the top of the first page. The For
ward attempts to conceal the real
nature of the Citizens Union,
speaking of it as a "non-partisan
body" and "a very moderate civic
organization" but the workers will
recognize this endorsement for what
it is, a reward for the strike-break-
ing activities of the socialist party
in the struggles of the workers in
the needle trades, textile, mining,
and other industries, recognition
of the services of the S. P. to the
naturalization and war plans of
American imperialism.
The Communist Party and it's can
didates take pride in the fact that
the Citizens Union statement con-
tains no reference whatever to the
Communist ticket. 1t could not
praise the Communist candidates.
And it would not condemn them,
knowing that the workers would
consider condemnation from such a
source a testimonial to the revolu-
tionary and working class character
of the Communist Party. The mill
tant, class conscious workers will
rally in the coming election to the

sents the interests of the working

gplained, firstly, by the fact mat
Pepper is right wing opportunist
Whose line differs from the basic
Zine of the Comiltcrn, and that he
tried to organize an opportunist fac
ton within the Communist Interna-
tional. Peppers double dealing
aimed to conceal his fractional
scheme. Pepper submitted a state
ment to the Executive Committee of
the Communist International with
reservations) accepting the E. G..
c. I. decisions on the American
question but persisting in saying
that he wasn't in New York during
the Fifth Convention of the Com
munist Party for the purpose of
carrying out the opportunist line in
America.
Considering these facts, the Inter
national Control Commission re-
solves to expel John Pepper from
the Communist International for re-
fusing to submit to E. c. C. 1. in
structions, for deceiving the Ameri-
can Party and the Communist Inter
national, and for his role in the
Communist Party of America where,
together with Lovestone, he led a
majority faction and instigated his
followers to carry on fractional
work, with the. object of enforcing
this opportunist line.
