4 By HBNRV, L. FARRELL (United Press Sports Editor) 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 r •k ' • 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 Increase the control of pitchers especially In hot weather bnt few of them believe that resin will take the life out ot the ball.
