Only Exterior Affected

Compared to the ball which
has been in use for the better
part of the last decade, the ball
adopted now by the National
League is veritable dodo.
This new ball, with its heavier
covering and stouter stitching,
is expected to do away with
trick home runs. 1t will bring
back the old-time pitching duelS
that used to mark the days Of
Christy MathewSon and Miner
Brown.
The quality of the yarn and
other fabrics is to remain the
same, only the covering of the
ball being affected. But the
batter will have to meet the
ball closely and wallop it with
force if he hopes to send it
hurtling over fences for home
run hits.

Just before the holidays, the

dealing q shock of about twelve

Now the National League has
outlawed the so-called rabbit

American League will follow
suit, further curtailing batting
rampages. Since both the
American and National League
ball are made in the same fac
tory at Philadelphia, and since
each has been using identically
the same article of merchandise
in this respect, there is every
likelihood they will both be
utilizing the same sphereoid
before the next season is over.

Fouls Hurt Punching
Jack Dempsey, the Old Mauler
himself, deplores the passing Of
body punching from things fistic.
Many reasons are advanced for
the decline of body slugging-an
art we'll known to the old masters.
Probably the best explanation
hinges around the epidemic of
foul claims, made popular by
Painting Phil Scott, Jack Shar-
key and Max Schmeling not

Once the leather singers are as
sured that they can strike below

will return.
And once more the boys will
start pegging away at vital spots.
Consequently, bigger and better
mixing will be assured from gong
