New ball adopted by the league owners is calculated to take the home run out of the hands of every body, including the Batboy, and re- store it to legitimate sluggers. Have to Hit It.
 That is, the new ball with it's heavier, looser cover still will rs- spond to good. old fashioned smack on the nose but will not leap over the centerfleld fence when caressed by anyone wearing fannels and spiked shoes.
 In addition to the heavier. less resilient cover. the new ball will have the raised stitches of years ago, which will give the pitchers more 10 grip when uncorking their deliveries to the batter. In recent years the ball manufacturers have spent a ways a1l means of reducing the stitches tc a minimum. The result of their 'abors was ball that of- fered a pitcher just about as much to grip as does well-oiled door knob.
 The higher stitch ball should prove a boom to veteran pitchers who have lost some of their speed and strength but still possess their skill and cum ming. Such pitcher as Adolpn Luque of the Robins, say. The old timers will be able to curve the ball around a batter's neck and a ball curved around your neck is hard to hit. as everybody knows.
 Pitchers are not the only ones who will welcome the less Jack Rabbityy" ball: For infielders, ,.s- pecially third basemen, who. be- cause of their proximity to the plate were in constant dread of losing an ear, or even a leg. will hail the bail with delight. Armed with a guar antee that the ball travels less quick ly than light, the more bold third basemen may even apply for life insurance, something they dared not

do when Jack Rabbitt' was whist ling through their whiskers. If the American league does not see fit to adopt the same sphere as the National, there is bound to he a conflict when the world series rolls around. This probably would ne settled, however, by using the Na- tional ball when the National club was at home, and vice versa.
 Some Results.
 Failure of the two leagues fu adopt q uniform ball also would tend to dampen the rivalry between Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson. home run kings of the American and Ma tional, respectively. For the Babe, were he to hit more circuit clouts (patented) than Hack, would cer. tainly be reminded by National leaguers that he batted against a more lively ball than his. rival. The same goes for pitching records. bat ting records. and all the other thousand and ane records the statis- ticians manage to put together.
 In addition 10 adopting. the new ball the owners approved the 1851 playing season, calling for the open ing game on April 15 and the clos ing one on September 27.. The lat ter date, by the way. is the earliest in 22 years

When the cops are lined up on op- posite sides it sure develops into a tough battle. Rowley's trafficmen directed by Walter Ahearn could not quite keep up to Pracny's patrol mo- tored by Johnnie Mates and dropped l three games. Mates accounted for the second game himself by going out on a strike and spare. Jack Reilly and his mates started off with all kinds of marks but MOn- aglans gas house gang gradually Overcame the lead and walked off with two games.
 It was a tough night for John McGurk. His only ambition for the season was to take over Verriker's team, but it just happened that Ver- ] riker must have been in the same mood, for it took all three games, hitting the lumber for 1926 with , only four men present. Better luck
