PICK YOUR OWN DEFINITION
What Do You Mean> a Strike?

la continues. when I first
came into the Am eric n
Lea que, there weren't any
crouch hitters to speak Of. All
of the good hitters stood
straight up and, if they were
big men, they had a big strike
zone. When a hitter crouches,
though, his armpits come down
to about where his waist would
normally be. That takes four
or five inches off the top of
his strike zone"
Strike Area REDEEMED
Maybe the hitters have
changed, but so have the rules.
The date was December 81,
1919. The old rules said a
strike was a pitch not lower
than the batSman's knees nor
higher than his shoulder.
Then came a change to re-
define the strike zone as the
space over home plate which
is between the batter's armpits
(not the shoulder) and the top
of his knees when he assumes
his natural stance.
That trimmed the strike zone
Ia bit, and more homers than
ever were hit. In 1919 the ma
jor leaguers belted 1,705 hon.
ers. The next year the total
zoomed to 2,073.
But the pitchers, even with

stool against the wall after a
particularly painful defeat.
Burnside recalled an instance
during a party when the Giants
were in spring training in 1856.
One of the Giants executives
who was known to have q few
was holding up the bar when
Burnside walked UP and asked
for a ginger ale.
Another one Of the milk
shake boys, eh?" the club Of
fetal said. Dark overheard the
remark and said. Let the kid
alone. He can drink what he
wants."
1t can be reported exclu-
sively by this correspondent
that the Senators figured In a
major deal yesterday. Manager
Mickey Vernon and Jim King,
the lefthanded hitting outfield-
er, were involved in q straight
player swap for Danny O'Con-
nell and Ed Brinkman. No
cash was involved.
Before each game, after the
starting lineup takes batting
practice, the 'irregulars" hit.
They have two four-man
teams. One team will bat,
each player taking a cut, until
it has made three outs. No
body catches the balls, but If
they fall in baSe-hit territory,
they are judged hits. Other
wise they are outs.
John Schaive was manager
Of one team of himself, Vernon,
King and Schmidt. The other
team managed by O'Connell
was Danny. Brinkman, Joe
Hicks and Bud Zipfel. Vernon
hit with them to even up the
teams.
Schaive's team had won nine
days in a row. with Schmidt
and myself we Just had too
much power for those banjo
hitters," Schaive said mod
eStly.
There was nothing else to
do but break up our team"
Schaive said. 1.-THE games had
become too one-sided." So as
long as the present starting
lineup is intact. the irregulars'
teams will be righthanders
against lefthanders, Schaive,
O'Connell, Brinkman and
Schmidt against Hicks, King,
Zipfel and Vernon.
The only difficulty Is that
with Schaive and O'Connell on
the same team, there are bound
to be some clashes as to who
Is boss.

what it is in baseball. Just
what is a strike?
The home plate is II inches
across at the top. If a hurler
throws a curve, how much OF
the ball has to cut the corner
to be a strike? The whole ball
or just a tiny bit of it?
ANY part of the ball over
any part of the plate" Berry
says.
Pilot Sees No Change
1t may be clear what the
rules say (they haven't
changed since 1949) and what
the umpires say they do, but
what is happening in practice
now? Are they calling EN- less
so batterS enjoy more?
There's no widespread agree
ment.
Il think the umpires are
calling strikes the same way as
they have for the last 1C
years. says Bob Scheffing, the
manager Of the Tigers who also
piloted the Cubs in the Ma
tional League.
Furthermore" Scheffing
adds, II can't see any differ
ence between the two leagues.
Mickey Vernon of the Sena-
tors, who served time in both

der. now a coach with the In
dams, says he believes each
umpire has his own peculiari-
ties. Some are so-caIled low
ball jumps, others will give you
the high ball. But I think that
over the years they are basic
ally consistent in what they
call. The trouble is that a lot
Of pitchers don't have the good
control and are consistently
just a little off"
One of the best Of the mod
ern pitchers. Jim Burning Of
the Tigers, may have summed
it up most aptly.
THE strike zone hasn't
changed as far as I'm con-
cerned." Burning says. Its al
ways been too small for the
pitchers"
What about the long games7
Burning smiles. The games
were long when I got here"

leagues. too, has a slightly Diff
ferent version.
Il don't think the strike zone
has gotten any smaller" Yer
non says. but I think the
pitchers get the low pitch more
in the National than in the
American League.
The theory here is that the
American League umpires, US
ing the big chest protectors,
can't follow the low pitch as
easily as the National League
jumps, who wear a lighter pro-
tector inside their jacket.
THE umpires in both leagues
work from the same rulebook, "
Berry insists, and they call
them the same. I've worked in
World Series games and
haven't seen any difference"
As Players See II
The players have their own
ideas. A veteran like Gene
Woodling. the former Senator
now with the Nets. has an in
tereSting observation.
Il think some hitters estab-
lish the pattern. If guy
doesn't swing at too many bad
balls, I think eventually he'll
get that reputation and get the
benefit of close calls. 1 think
some players, like Eddie Yost
and Ted Williams, and even
me. will get a break on a pitch
now and then"
An old pitcher like Mel Har-

and for the first two weeks of
the season last year before he
was traded to the Reds. It has
been six years since Pete Burn
ide was with the Giants, and
they were in New York at the
time, but he roomed with Dark
during one spring training at
Phoenix.
IF it's q close race to the
end Of the season." Smitty said,
the team managed by Dark
will win the pennant."
Why? He was asked.
II don't know, I can't put
my finger on It," the big
catcher said, but there's some
thing about the guy. He has
some kind Of magic about him.
The guys that he manages will
Just play a little bit harder,
and win 1t. II they can stay
close"
That's considerable praise
coming from a player who was
traded away by Dark when the
season was only two weeks old.
Burnside said he didn't know
anything first hand about
Dark's ability as a manager,
but he figured when he knew
him several years ago that Al
was going to be a manager
some day.
He is one Of those rare in
dividuals who emanates leader
ship" the articulate Burnside
said.
He is an astute baseball
man." Burnside continued"
and he will gamble just
enough to keep the other club
loose. I'm sure some of Leo
Durocher's baseball knowledge
rubbed off when they were to-
gether. And Eddie Stanky's,
too"
Burnside recalled that when
Dark was playing for the
Giants he lived every minute of
every ball game. Hes a very
dedicated person." Pete said.
I'm not too familiar with
the Giants personnel except for
their established stars, like
Mays, Cepeda and fellows like
that, but I believe that Dark
will be the difference in a close
race"
Somebody, mentioned that
Dark's personal habits do not
include drinking or smoking
and that he abstains from ours
ing except in rare instances. He
might have had a few blue
words to say earlier this year

Some wit. probably q left
handed pitcher, once said that
the dictionary lists six defini-
tons for a strike and that
each umpire still has his own.
Frequently a charge makes
the baseball rounds that the
umpires aren't calling 'em as
they used to-that the strike
zone has shrunk even more
than the dollar.
Fact or fiction? It's a bit of
both.
One thing for sure, baseball
games, like the movies, are
longer than ever. Some say it's
the souped-up ball. the lighter
bat. the constant changing of
pitchers and the batters taking
too much time.
Say Zone Has Shrunk
Those aren't the reasons

Dodger pitcher, Ralph Branca.
said as he rushed into print re-
Gently with his theory. THE
umpires are responsible. If the
umpires would call a strike as
the rules provide, the hitters
would start swinging and the
game would be speeded up ire
mendously. A pitcher can't get
a called high strike in either
league any more"
Follow this line Of thinking
and this is what happens:
Some say the strike zone has
shrunk to the point where it

Bogart believes that there is

recognize that this has always
been the case.
