NEW TQBK, Feb. I l — (U .f.)
— Pans are' led to believe by
winter gossip that heavy hit
ting, eo pronounced in the major
leagues during ' the last fOnr,
years, will be decreased by the
repeal of the rule prohibiting
the use ot resin on the hall.
The Increase In slugging was
blamed on the rule prohibiting
the use of any foreign substance
on the ball and the change In
the construction of the ball to
make It more lively.
The magnates, In spite of
many reasons to believe other
wise, Instated that the bell was
built thtTsatne as It was beforb
Babe Ruth started driving them
out of the parks and that the
game was not being changed
to suit the commercial market.
Players insisted all along' that
the ball had a lot of rabbit In
it and they expressed the fear
that some of the Infleldors
would , bo killed If something
was not done to curb the heavy
bitting.
Late last season there was a
very noticeable decrease In bit
ting and the players said that
the bell bad been changed again.
Among those who noticed a dif
ference wag Rogers Hornsby,
manager of the St. Louie Car
dinals and the champion batsman
of the National League.
"I know that the ball during
the last month of the season
was not as lively ' as the one
used earlier In the year but I
don't know the reason,” he

In the game and that baseball
was losing some ot Its most en
tertaining features. Base run
ning, for instance, became a
lout ext as there was no reason
to risk a player's limbs in sneak
ing a base when the chances
were/ good that he could be
knocked In.
Perhaps this is the reason for
the change tn the rule, designed
to relievo some of the handicap
imposed upon the pitchers but
ft remains to be seen how much
of a benefit it will prove.
Practically all of the players
— and they are the best quali
fied to express an opinion—
believe that the'use of resin will

few of them believe that resin
will take the life out ot the
ball.
