baseball, may be revived this year,
Max Carey believes. II the new and
less lively ball adopted by the big
leagues fulfills its purpose OF re-
storing the more scientific features
OF the national game.
For years, youngsters and vetsr-
ans alike have been swinging from

There has been no purpose II

Consequently, scientific features Of
baseball that were stressed when /
went up TO the Pirates from South
Bend around 1910, as understudy to
Tommy Leach, have been neglected.
When ! was breaking in. base
running was one OF the first things
taught to me. Batting, too, vs.
more Of a science. The so-called
defensive hitters. such as Johnny
Evers, Burt Shotton and the late
Higgins, have vanished altogether
in the slugging era.
All Sluggers
Nowadays, lead off men, like the
rest, 60 Zip TO the plate to take q
healthy cut at the ball, instead of
making the most of waiting or de-
fensive tactics. Then. If they got on
base. they wait there for a long hit
to bring them in.
Few base runners today can
compare with old timers like Cobb
or Collins or Wagner. In the Ma
tional league. Xxi Cuyler and

With slugging cut down by the
new ball, more attention probably
will be paid to all around coaching

up to the big leagues woefully lack

For example. most OF them think
they have TO be born with ability
to hit curve balls. The tEct Is they
