That again left Burt Shotton,

has two starting leftfielders and
no centerfielder. Shotton thought
that problem was fixed when
Chandler okayed use of Brook

as starter.

6-1, 3-6, 6-1.
This is the third straight year

It also is the third Wimbledon

Playing sparkling tennis, Miss
Brough cleaned up the first set
in just under Is minutes, break
ing Mrs. duPont's service in the
second and fourth games.
Mrs. DUPONT, with service
breaks in the second and fourth
games. raced to a SO lead in the
second set. She dropped her own
service in the seventh game, but
closed out the set at 6-3. Miss
Brough netted two simple returns
In the last two games.
At that point with set each,
the crowd Of 10000 packing the
center court got ready for some
fighting tennis for the first time
in the match. But Miss Brougil
polished it of in a hurry, shortly
after Queen Mother Mary arrived
at the royal box.
The Californian started the
third set by winning her own serv-
Ice. Then the champion broke
Mrs. dupont, allowing only q
single point.
Game Goes to Deuce 8 Times.
Miss Brough made it three love
after a game that went to deuce
three times. Mrs. dupont won her
only game in the see-saw fourth
game which went to. deuce eight
times with each having advantage
point four times. Miss Erough
finally won it when Mrs. dupont
returned long volley into the net.
Queen Mary presented the tro-
ply to Miss Brough.
Today's Wimbledon schedule
was a big one for Miss Brough.
After playing in the singles

players seem to be swinging
from the heels now. in contrast
to the old days" said a bat maker.
So what is the case for and
against the 'lively baseball" 1950's
biggest sports argument:
A. G. Spalding and Bros. says
the ball is just the same as it has
been for years. They grant a
slight deterioration in quality dur
ing World War II, which means
there was a pickup afterward.
But their tests show little change.
Some Answers Presented.
Then what accounts for the
present outburst of homers?
Baseball pays off on homers.
The sluggers get the big salaries.
So everyone goes for distance, US
ing light bats that permit light
ning-fast swings-the kinetic en-
ergy business.
2There have been an increas-
ing number of shackles put on the
pitchers. The spitters and the
emery balls were outlawed. The
instant a baseball gets scuffed in
a big league game, out it goes
and with it goes the pitchers
chance to get a firmer grip. This
years enforcement of the balk
rule is just another mental hazard
for every pitcher. just thinking
about it takes a little steam off a
pitch.
3-Parks have become progress
sively smaller. Box seats have
been built closer to the playing
field. Fences have been short
ened.
FINALLY. the baseball is back
to its pre-war quality. The speci-
fications are unchanged but the
materials are up to standard
again.
Argument is Interminable.
The argument over the lively
baseball began back in the 1920s
when Babe Ruth was setting his
home run records. and probably
will last as long as baseball.
Those who think the ball isl
about the same but that we now
nave more distance hitters than
formerly, ask these questions:
Why, if the ball is SO muchl
Iiyelier, hasn't a home run been
nit into the bleachers Of the Polo
Grounds. the big Giants park?
Rowe, Detroit pitcher,
did it in an exhibition game Is
years ago. but no one has come
near in a regular game.
Why hasn't a ball ever been hit
out of Yankee Stadium, another
mammoth park? Jimmy Foxx
belted one into the upper left
field stands. almost over the roof.
Even Joe Di Maggie has not hit
one that far. Why aren't record
homers being hit in other parks?
Those who blame everything on
the ball point to recent fungo-
contests. Back in 1911
the record was All feet 8 inches. |
set by Ed Walsh. Ruth cracked
out 421 feet 8 inches in 1881 and
Walter Driver of Melbourne. Aus
5ralia, hit SOB feet 3 inches in
L945.
Then on May 19 of this year
Robert (Wimpy) Jones of the
University of California belted the
,all 511 feet 8 inches.

Last of a Series.l
By Ted Smits

AsSocloted Press Sporfs soifof
NEW YORK, July S.-All right
90 maybe the 1850 baseball isn't
any lvelier than the 1910 or 1896
baseball. Then what accounts for
the outbreak Of home runs, triples
and doubles?
To solve the mystery, how about
considering the bat?
Not that there Is anything
wrong with the bat. It is just be-
ing used differently-and more eff
fectively. And it gradually has
become smaller.
Here is an amazing thing. One
might think that the bigger the
bat the more distance a man could
get with hitting baseball.
Such is not the case. The dis
tance, or force. that is given to
an object is covered by a little
formula out of high school phys
les. This says: Kinetic energy
equals one-half the mass times
the velocity squared.
Note that squared" That's the
key word.
For example, if the mass in this
formula was expressed by the
figure i've, and the velocity by the
same figure. then if you increased
the mass to six you would have
only slight increase in the dis
tance q ball would go. But if you
Increased the velocity to six, you
would have very considerable in
crease. Because five squared is Is,
while six squared is So. It is as
simple as that.
A Matter of Speed.
Or put it another way, you can
get q lot more distance on hit by
swinging a small bat very fast than
by swinging a big bat somewhat
slower.
That is why before a game a
fungo bat is used to knock balls
out to the outfielders for practice.
This is very slender bat. Armed
with it, even the weakest hitter
can belt one 800 feet with ease.
ancidentally. it could not be used
In game because it would break
under the force of a pitch).
An athlete in another sport who
remembered his school textbook is
Chuch Kocsis, Michigan Walker
Cup golfer. He lightened up his
golf clubs and therby got more
distance on his drives.
Actually if a baseball player
came up to the plate with full-size
bat permitted by the rules of the
game there would be pande-
monium-and it wouldn't be-
caused by his hitting.
The rule governing bats has
been in the book since the earliest
days and it permits something
that looks like a telephone pole:
s.The bat shall be round. not over
23z inches in diameter at the
thickest part, not more than AZ
inches in length, and entirely OF
hard, solid wood in one piece.
Major Leaguers mostly use a
bat IS inches long, 2A inches
thick.
Big Bat Got Small Hits.
The big bat of rs years ago was
wonderful for punching out a
single. Now what is wanted. is
a slender, light bat that can be
whipped around at terrific speed
-imparting. thereby, tremen-
dous velocity to a baseball.

makers. note a trend toward light
