Mission "If th B",,C1 Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Says: Softball Hurlera , Given Advantage By Shorter Throw There will bo ao more of those he&vy-dugglog, wild -eyed clouting Afftlrs in Medford's Commercial soft bell league, which opened Its aecond half schedule last night. Team man agers assured themselves of that ny unanimously voting to decrease th'j distance from which the hurlers fire their underhanded deliveries by two and a half feet. From now on, pitch ers will work from 3714 feet out In stead of 40 feet. When local enthusiasts got together this spring to launch the present highly successful soft ball season, It was decided to pattern the game ac cording to the rules of the National Softball association, which call for 40-foot pitching distance, 10 men to team, and restricts base-runners from leading off their base. On tho face of things, those rules appeared as good as any. However, the first half, which end ' 1 1 The Associated Press Reports the News of the World MEDFORD MAIL) TRIBUNE MEMBER of the ASSOCIATED PRESS ed last Thursday evening revealed a dearth of pitchers capable enough to prevent the distant fence, from taking an awful beating and score keepers from getting writer's cramp from marking up basehlts and tallies. With the exception of very few bat tles. It was a matter of standing up there at the plate and belting the apple to distant territory, the result of which were encounters that more resembled track meets thsn ball games. , Casting about for a remedy for the lop-ilded battles, some of tbe boys got to studying the rules of the Oregon State Softball assld atlon, and they had tbe answer. That organization rules that pitchers shall heave from 37 ....feet (37 feet 8' Inches to be exact), which swings the balance of power to the pitcher Instead of the hitter, and eliminates tbe free-hlttlng affairs. However, the Oregon State Softball group also allows base-runners to lead off the bags, and uses nine mea Instead of ten. In fact, the rules are modeled us near as possible to those of baseball. This department wonders whether, now that the locals have made the big move In shorten tng the pitching distance, they hadn't better shoot the works and enact aU tho state rules. The way It looks to us, decreasing the pitching distance will not only give the pitcher the upper hand, but practically put the offense In a straight-jacket. Although the major ity of fans like tighter and lower score games than they have been seeing the first half, they, undoub' edly. won't like encounters In which Report Me and My Cause Aright' li2l - - '-I ....... , -Effirf&!:. These words sum up the ardent desire of every man to be fully and accurately represented before his fellow men. To report every cause aright is the task of The Associated Press. Its trained staff of 80,000 patrols the corridors of the world to get the news to get it accurately and report it impartially, with all possible speed. It performs this task daily with marked success through the coopera tion of its 1360 member newspapers. TM mi. aatlM I au im the batters are mowed down by strlkn outs and too many fielders wltn monotonous regularity. With that roving shortstop out there behind the infield, in addition to the shortened pitching distance, it looks like the defense will have too great an ad vantage. In other words, the local soft bailers seem to be going from one extreme to the other. To date, the balance of power has lain entirely too heavily with the offense, and from now on It will rest Just as ex tremely with the defense. To reach a happy medium, why not eliminate the roving short stop and allow base-runners to take their lead. According to the state rules, the runner can't steal bases except on a wild pitch or passed ball, but by being allowed to lead off, the offense is bene fitted by the fact that base-runners are able to advance further on base-hits. For Instance, with a runner leading off first base, a long single will at times en able him to score. When he Is chained to the bag. his maxi mum advance Is limited to third base on a single.
