Tuesday s game provided a new high scoring mark for the year, with a total of 123 runs and I*l hits in seven games. Thirty-nine pitchers saw action, with Ray Benge of the Phillies and Red Faber of the Chcago White Sox the only ones to go a full nine innings. Brooklyn’s Robins and the New York Giants set the scoring pace, battling through three hours and ten minutes of wild play, with Brooklyn winning, 19 to 15. The Robins scored eleven runs in a second inning rally to come within three runs of the modern major league record of fourteen runs in one inning, v eld jointly by the New York Yankees t 1 920 i and the Chicago Cubs <1922>. Brooklyn established one record in that every player scored a run, made a hit and drove in a run during the eleven-run attack. Eight pitchers participated in the contest, the Giants using five. Red Faber, veteran White Sox pitcher, allowed Detroit fourteen hits, but eked out an 8 to 6 victory' and the Chicago team held second place. Kay Rcngr.

WASHINGTON. April 30. WELL, I see the boys have started the same old argument about the lively ball. Some of them say It has a rabbit in it, and there are others who argue that the ball isn’t as lively this year as it was last. I’ve had a dozen letters about it already.

Babe Ruth Says

The mere fact that there have been a lot of ’ J Ms 'i t close-score games this season, real pitchers' battles, i/• ■ f h has caused many people to think that the ball Isn’t as lively. But I’ve noticed that there have been plenty of high-scoring games, too. to offset that. Personally, I don i think it was pepped up last season. Nor do I think that the lively ball has had a great deal to do with the heavy hitting of the last few seasons. There are three or four things that had more to do with it. For instance, this season, I notice the umpires have been leaving balls in the game longer. They're not so particular about dirty spots on the eather, and they're giving pitchers a chance to throw something besides new white baseballs all the time. Which is a break for the pitcher. Give any pitcher an old ball to throw, let him toss up a ball that is a little bit soiled and a bit roughened, and he’ll make you forget all about that jack rabbit.

Here's another thing maybe you didn't know about. It used to be that balls were being hit down through the infield a mile a minute. This year on the Yankee infield at least, those hits haven’t been going through that way. Max Bishop, the little Philadelphia second baseman, mentioned it one day down on the bench. But come to

find out that wasn’t any change in the ball. What had happened was that the topsoil of the infield had been changed, a lot of black loam had been added and the whole infield slowed up. And I’ve got a hunch that has been done in a lot of parks. There are a lot of ways of taking the rabbit out of baseballs without changing the balls.
