Dec. 23 Pittsburgh Pirate Manager Billy Meyer advocates the revival of the apltball III baaeball to lielp the pttchera catch up with the batteia. But the grey-hatred Buo skip per, relaxing at his suburban home here yesterday, said he didn't see much possibility of th spltter's return because "the fans want big scores." The trend In sixirta, he went on, Is Uiward big scores. "It's part of prosperity. I guess. Th public wsnts mure and more, the age of abundance. The sam thing Is happening In football and basketball." Meyer advanced three reasons why he thinks the spllball should be legalized: 1. It would Improve pitching and baaeball. 2. 11 would eliminate a lot of wrangling and speed up games. 1. It would help second division clubs to take up Uie slack and tighten the races. Meyer conceded the return of the spltbsll might open "the way tor cheating on all those old fresk de liveries. " ' But he added that a certain amount of cheating "goes on all the time." A lot of mediocre pitchers prob ably would become winners If they could uae the spltler, Meyer believes. And. says Meyer, here's why: "There are a lot of pitchers with a good fast ball who need some thing else to win. Many of Uwm have short fingers or a wrist that Isn't too supple. A guy like that can never learn to throw a good curve. Bo he must learn a irejk pitch knuckle ball, fork ball, or aom auch. and then maybe he can win. "A spltler Is easy to learn and it It were Irgsl every pitching stall would be stronger. It'a the simplest thing in the world. You simply administer a little moisture, saliva or sweat, to the surface of the ball If the moistened spot Is on the lelt side of Uis ball, the sphere will break to Uie right, and vice versa. If It la on the top of the ball.
