Farrell, • United Press Staff Correspondent New York, April 16. —Decrease of ' the number of early season home runs leads several major league managers and players to believe that some of the "rabbit” has been taken out of' the ball. They do not believe that the theory of better pitching excuses a reduction of 100 per cent slugging from a corresponding period last year. In the first two days last season, major | league batters scored 20 homers. 15 in the American League and five in ' the National, and so far there have been only ten this year, nine in the 1 National League-and one in the American League. Some American league men see themselves vindicated in the figures for the stand they took that a pitcher would not be made more effective by using resin on his hands. Most of National League pitchers, taking ad- j vantage of the modification of the freak pitching rule have been rubbing 1 resin on their hands and yet they ■ have been outhit, 9 to 1. National League men however, de-' fend the change in the rule on the ground that no conclusion about it's merits can be reached without more of a test and that it will take a season to prove the case. Most of the ball players in thef southern training camps said they had observed no change in the ball but it was explained that most of the halls used down south were left overs from last season. Rabbit Maranville, veteran Brooklyn shortstop, who has been distinguishing himself this season wth his brilliant fielding, expressed the opinion that some of the. hop has been taken, out of the ball. "You can't tell, though,” he said. "No two of them act the same but. they are coming down a little bit more like the old style ball.” Major league officials never have | admitted that the ball was enllvenel to suit the craze for slugging staled by Babe Ruth and they deny any knowledge now tha tthc ball has been changed again. +++++++++++++ +++ 4 BASE BALL STANDINGS + + + + + + 4-4-* + + + + + + * + NATIONAL league W.
