 magnates see no reason to view the
 home run epidemic or its cause, the
 lively ball, with alarm. Quite the ! contrary. in fact. they are quite will iEg to admit the ball is lively, per-
 haps . little livelier than in 1928; furthermore, that the customers as
 wtll as the players like it.
 In substance, this is the word brought back by John Arnold Heyd- Ter. the National leagues chief ex- I ecutive. after trip through the
 western part of the circuit that in- cluded session of the club owners in Cincinnati.
 After an exhaustive anaylsis of the whole lively ball situation the Ma tional league club owners, Mir. Heyd- Ter said. have concluded that noth- ing needs to be done about it, what ever They find ready explanations for the big increase in home runs in the rise of group of new sluggers. Essentially they consider the ball no
 different than last year. but if it is at all livelier it is due to a slight change in the cover hy which, through a new process, the surface is roughened by the manufacturer
 For the past few years. our prac- tice in the National league has been to have the umpire take the shine
 off the ball by rubbing it in moist earth" said Mir. Heydler. The pur-
 pose of this was to speed up the
 game and save the time lost by play CTS tossing around and rubbing a
 new ball to take off it's slippery new
 ness.
 r. 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 tho batters white
 balls to hit at nearly all the time.
 Also the ball is drier and when hit
 squarely, may carry farther by com parison with one that has been mois- tened or otherwise partially dead ened.
 "The combination of this and the
 fact that many players are taking a
 bigger cut at the ball probably &C.,
 counts for the increase in home
 runs. This Is especially true of the

Campbea eoun,a Plan. Appeal
 h Dealh, Sentence Passed on Man
Exeeaaea l1aiiksly to Be Carrisf Out July IS, sincs Hish Court Does Not Meet Until Fall.

Elizabeth. N. T.. June IL (UP)- ceunssl for HsaFy Colin Campbell prepared teAsy ts appeal from . verdict of . jury in the court of oyer and tsrminer that the defend- aHt was guilty of murderinx Mira. NilArs1 Mowry.
 Although Justice Clarence Case esutsncsA Campbell to die in the electric chair July 1t. it appear sA unlikely that the sentence would 0e carried out before autumn at least. The court of errors and ap- paals. to which Francis Gordon. counsel for Campbell. must file his appeal. does not meet until fall. 70 1t was apparent that the appeal au- tonatically would serve as a stay of execution.
 Jury Out Four Hours
 The jury was out for four hours yesterday. returning with the verdict at 3:50 p. m.
 They returned twice. once to ask to have testimony of two physicians re-read and ths other time to seek m interpretation of the legislatures provision that life Imprisonment could be eustituted for death in first dasrse murder cases. The court rs- fused to have the physicians tssti- mony read and also declined to put m interpretation on the legislatures provision.
 Throughout the trial Campbell's eounsel had never sought to deny that his client killed Mrs. Mowry after marrying her ligamously. The fense was based on the fact that Campbell allegediy did. not snow what he was doing when he shot the woman, set fire to the body and left it in the road near Cranford, N. J. Campbell. when on the stand, in sisted his mind was blank when he killed the woman from whom he had obtained $1.oo0.
 shows No Emotion
 The slayer took the verdict with out emotion. His eyes dropped as the jury filed in and he never rai5- cd them when the foreman ah- nouncei the verdict of guilty. Mrs Campbell appeared to be on the verge of tears.
 II must see him." she said. push lrg to let closer to her husband.
 Court attaches refused to let her talk to the condemned man.
 Campbell probably will be taken to the death house at the state prison in Trenton tomorrow.
