(AftHocfutt-d IMtkb Him its Writer) NEW YORK, Fob. 4. (Pi Major league butwmn who kIuk KOd iGtiO balls over tho fennes or into tho bleachers last ne.-iKon, will Imvo a new and "(lender" ball to awing at thin year. Itoth the National and Ameri can lenKUoy havo decided that the homo run barrnKo haa none tnv enough and a change In tho bull'H phyKlcal aspect. Is tho result, - In tho National league, the bait will hnvo a thicker cover and heavier stitches, in tho American league, tho cover will be the hjuiio but tho stitches will bo heavier, (if yen JNtrlicrH limik. Not only will thoNO cluinK''n take Homo of the liveliness out of the ball, major league officials1' confidently expect, but also will Bivo tho pitchers a better grip on the ball and thereby Increase their effectiveness. The pitchers, hampered continu ously by all Horts of restrictions, have complained for several years that tho smoothness of the ball's cover lias made It extremely dif ficult to control. Tho thicker Htitchcs planned on the ball should ko far toward solving that difficulty. ' - Proponents of tho lively hall and tho frequent home run need have little fear that theee changes in the s ball's construction will bring about a return to tho days when a dozen home runs were good enough to win a league championship. Change Not OniMlc. Tho changes are not drastic enough for any radical decrease in hitting. Officials of both leagues do bellevo, however, that the changed ball will rcniilt In greater pitching efficiency, a decrease In tho number of "trick" homo runnj hit nnd a slump in tho Inflated hatting averages of the last few years. Last season, for lnlane, 1(1 players In tho majors hit H5 homo runs or more. Hack AViison of tho Chicago Cubs led both league with ft 6 and Iiabo Itulh of the New Yolk Yankees wast runner up with 4!.
