Actually. it was more than
luck that enabled Lawrence to

Il don't deny that I got the
breaks last year" Brooks said.
"A pitcher has to be lucky and
he has to get the breaks to win
10 or 20 games. He has to have
a good hitting team behind him,

year." Hubbard says. Most of
the fans don't even know the
new rules were adopted. Some
Of the players don't know too
much about them, either. I've
told the umpires to be extra
tough down here in the spring
games TO warn everybody what
to expect.
The new rule says If a ball is
in the strike zone when it touches
the batter, it shall be called a
strike. whether or not the batter
tries to avoid the ball.
1t doesn't say so in the rules.
but we have agreed to interpret
it that the ball shall be dead
after it hits man in a case like
that Otherwise you'd have all
kinds of arguments about inter-
ference and obstruction )"
Hubbard says the rule he ex-
poets to give batters the most
trouble is the one that reads: "A
batter shall not leave his posi-
ton in the batter's box after the
pitcher comes to a set position
or starts his windup. If the
pitcher pitches. the umpire shall
call ball or strike as the case
may be-"
This means just what it says, /"

this f1ddling around to wipe an
imaginary bug out of the eye or

pitcher waits.
Nellie Fox and Gil McDougald
have been two Of the worst a.
that trick of holding up the
game. They'll have to get over
1t. We're just trying to cut out
senseless waste of time.
Another rule change that may
result in some confusion is the
edict that a pitcher, with NOBODY
on base, must deliver the ball to
the batter within 20 seconds
after he receives the ball. Last
year the pitcher had to throw
20 seconds after he toed the rub
Der. Catchels must return the
ball promptly to the pitcher II
a pitcher takes more than 20

Last year I put a stop watch
on the pitchers and nobody took
more than 8 or 9 seconds after
he took his position. Hubbard
says. But a lot of them fiddle
around after getting the ball be-
