n YEW YORK, February IL
nj viii the new ball adopted
by the major base ball
leagues mean the passing
of the mighty men of the swat?
Babe Ruth says, Decidedly not"
and PIGGY Hack Wilson chimes in
with, I'll still be out theAe busting
the fences next year"
But at least IA American and Ma
tional League managers are hoping
that the new ball with its raised
stitches and thicker cover Gin the
National League) will spell the
last of the tactics of the two men,
who knocked the ball over los
fences last season.
Both Hack, who contributed Sc
worries to the National League
pitchers in 1880, and the Bambino
reached the height Of their power
with the rabbit ball and its coun-
terset stitches.
The Babe began his serious swat
ting i'm 1919, hitting 20 home runs
with ball that was not considered
A'lively." He reached the pinnacle,
however, 1927, driving so of the
rabbit" balls out of the American
League parks.
Just what the two sultans of the
swat will do to the new ball Is a
conjecture. Babe says it will not
stop him, because he hits the ball
clean, but it will do away with
freak home runs.
The raised seams should tend 70
increase wind and air resistance,
thus making it seem reasonable that
the new ball will not travel as far
when hit, says President E. A. Bar
nard of the Junior circuit.
The pitchers, hampered for IL
years by all sorts of restrictions, may
have something to say about what
the Ruth-Wilson combination and
other home run sluggers do with the
new ball. For several years the
hurlers have complained that the
smoothnesS Of the balls cover has
made it extremely difficult to control.
The answer of the major leagues
is raised stitches to furnish the
pitcher with better grip.
In 1880, 1866 home runs rang on
the bats of the major leaguers as
pitcher after pitcher failed to fin
afford the hurlers better grip, en-
abling them to increase the spin of
the ball and give it better curve
or break.
Will all of this stop the mighty
Babe and the hard-hitting Hack?
Ruth says no and Hack agrees.

QUINN SURE He CAN

Dodgers Take Over Pitcher Who

Says He's Not Old.

BY the Associated Press.
HOT SPRINGS, Ark, February IL
Two days ago "Old Jack" Pincus Quinn,
who dates his professional base bali
pitching back to 1908, asserted he was
not old-even in a game where much
depends on such things as stamina.
And today he had a berth on the
hurting staff of the Brooklyn Robins to
prove there were others who believe as
he does.
The oldest active player in the major
leagues was nonchalant as he talked Of
the contract offered him yesterday by
the Robins. He expected some club TO
grab him up after being released during
the Winter by Connie Mack. And he
came here to get in condition for the
training camp grind, just as he has foS
several years.
Yeah, I'll give'em fling for another
year." the old master said, and 'I be.
lieve I've got enough stuff left to show
'em that I'm not through"
Quinn declined to reveal the terms Of
his new contract, but said 1t was VERY
acceptable" He said he would sign e
as soon as it was sent to him.

ED WALSH'S SON OUT
AS MAJOR Lacquer
Goes to Louisville as Part Of White
Sox Payment for 0utfielSer
Simons.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 11-Big Ed
Walsh's boy, Ed. jr., is going to the
minors.
The son of the distinguished White
Sox pitching veteran and a pitcher him
self was sent to the Louisville club of
the American Association in a deal
completed yesterday whereby Mel
Simons, star outflelder, comes to the
White Sox. Clarence Hoffman, White
Sox outflelder, and a bundle of cash,
also went to Louisville in the deal.
Young Walsh made good start with
the White Sox in 1928, coming directly
from Notre Dame University, but he
failed to keep going fast enough to suit
Manager DOME Bush.
Simons is regarded as one of the best
prospects ever to come up from the
minors. Last season he batted .371, led
the league in base hits and was a fast,
sure outflelder.

SLABBING TO Tell
DESPITE NEW BALL
Revised Position Rule May
Aid Pitchers in Their
War on SIuggers.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

INFORMATION has been sought
as to whether the change in
4 the rule regarding the pitch
er'S position, which will be
made public in detail with the
release of the newly revised rules
some time this month, had any
thing to do with the action of the
major leagues in regard to the
bali. It is evident, of course, that
both leagues had debated the ball
before the Rules Committee met.
The members were in some doubt as
to whether the lively hitting was less
entertaining to the fans than the hit
ting of the days before the war, when
players were not asked to make home
runs, but to sacrifice and hit behlno
the runner.
The Rules Committee never discussed
the ball. One or two of the members
expressed themselves as very much In
favor of the game as it is played now
rather than a return to anything that
would deaden it. They were positive
that the patrons of base ball like 1t bet
ter as played today than they did In
the era of the very scientific game.
Yet fans thought when the SCIENTIFIC
game was being played that it was the
most marvellous game in the world
Fans Watched Pitchers Then.
Those were the days when the spec
kators arrived at the gates before they
were opened and, as they entered the
grounds. rushed to obtain seats back OF
the catcher so that they might see
ClarkSon, Cy Young, Mathewson or any
one of the other famed pitchers In
action.
The new rule in regard to the pitch
er's position does not permit anything
in excess of what was permitted in the
old rule. One of the major league
presidents wanted to permit the pitcher
to put one foot back of the plate and
step forward from that point, but the
committee would not concede it.
That experienced old wiSeacre, Clark
Griffith who knows as much about
pitching as anybody in the United
States, told the rule makers that II
they granted that concession to the
pitcher they would have the best pitch
ing they had seen on a diamond since
base ball began.
They would not acuuiesce, although
they were quite willing that a new
pitching position rule should be written
because the one in the code was wrong
If construed literally.
Old Rule Poorly WOrded.
The pitching position rule in effect
between 1920 and 1880 was not only
poorly worded but wrongly worded. The
presidents of major leagues got over it
the best way they could by putting
their own constructions on the rule and
advising their umpires how to act.
The statement that any great change
may come in regard to batting because
the ball has been made less lively is
sheer nonsense. If any change Is to
be accomplished it will be due to the
superior work of the pitchers. Other
leagues are adopting the National
League ball. The more thorough its use
in the season to come the better the
information to be had for those who
are concerned in rule making.
