A Lille Of Both

Whether the lack of hitting
can be charged 10 the dead ball
or TO the lack of power hitters
Is question open 10 debate.
! is probably a combination of
the two. From all evidence,
Mr. Babe Ruth 10 the contrary.
the dead ball has had some
thing 10 do with the lack of
hitting. Yet, it is possible TO
hit the ball far.
Ray Mack of the Indians
proved that with his home run
AZ Briggs Stadium Sunday.
There was nothing wrong with
that circuit drive. II was a
solid drive lined into the lower
deck of the left field stands.
Oddly. il was Mack's first hit of
the season after more than a
score Of fruitless trips TO the
plate.
There is this 10 he said of the
dead ball-it makes a home run
something apart from just an
other extra base hit. While they
boosted thrills. home runs, eSpe-
cially in the spring, were getting
more or less common. Certainly
some Of the fly balls that
dropped into the stands in the
right field al Yankee Stadium.
the left field in Fenway Park,
Boston, and in other parks were
not great accomplishments.
And pitching duels, fast base
running and shorter games, for
a change will probably be rel
ished by the fans

II All Depends

"Is the sacrifice hit 10 be the
regular policy Of the Tigers
O'Neill was asked.
"Not necessarily So" the new
manager explained. But with
the dead ball and low hitting
one run has been a big run In
games to date. Perhaps, later
we will return 70 the hit-and-
run. But, we won't use the hit
and-run exclusively. There are
times for the sacrifice and we
mean to make use of IT."
With much of the power
gone, ONeill believes that the
American League fans will see
LOT of "old-fashioned baseball
this year. live ball or dead ball.
As we have seen already"
O'Neill pointed out. "there is
added emphasis on pitching. de-
fensive play and base running"
All of which should enhance
the chances Of the Tigers,
team which 10 date has re-
vealed good pitching and de-
fensive play generally. Afeld
the Tigers have turned in
specially good brand of play,
achieving an errorless ball in
no less than five of the nine
games played. Over all they
have totaled only five miscues,
never more than two in a game.
Three of the errors were wide
throws.
