Rickey Comes Out Against the Curbing of Home Runs

CARD BOSS SAYS FACTS SHOW FANS FAVOR LONG HITS vViolently Opposes Efforts of Johnson and Griffith to Establish Zone, By XhA Berrice ST. LOUIS, Feb. I.—Branch Rickey, manager of the St. Louis Cardinals. is dead set against any plan i that will curb home-run hitting. President Johnson of the American League, Clarke Griffith of the Washington Club, and many other big men of the game, believe the home run has become 30 cheapened that it has lost its zip. Rickey doesn’t .agree with them. He says the fans, by their attendance, have proved they like free-hitting games featured with home runs. The St. Louis leader says every club in both major leagues made plenty of money in the last two years. This, he asserts, is without precedent in major league affairs. With tho game showing such popularity and prosperity Rickey eitnnot i figure why it should be choked by! eliminating or making more difficult! the one thing that has popularized the= sport—home runs. "The fans seldom make comparisons of the fielding ability of rival players." says Rickey. “It is always ! the hitting. “Last season fans the country over ' were wildly excited over the homerun race in the majors as to whether j Ruth would be displaced or overcome i the handicap of a late start. “You never heard the fans do any f raving about fielding averages “Leave well enough alone, is my j attitude on the home-run question.” INTERESTING GAMES ON TAP IN FRATERNAL LOOP Teams Getting More Evenly Matched as Season Advances.

Easy for Hank Hank Severeid, star catcher of the St. Louis Browns, holds two unusual records. One relates to catching foul files, the other to throwing out base-runners. Foul Hies are the bane of every catcher. Weakness in going after fouls Is a fault of a majority of big league receivers. During his entire major league career Severeid has missed only one foul hall. That Is a most remarkable and unusual performance. His record of throwing out forty one men out of forty-three who tried to steal on him in consecutive games Is equally out of the ordinary.
