NATIONAL LOOP MAGNATES APPROVE ‘ANTI-HOMER’ BALL

Heavier Cover, Higher Stitch to Aid Hurlers World Series and Statistics Conflict Looms If American League Bosses Fail to Adopt New Sphere; 1931 Playing Season Set.

BY HENRY MTEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Feb. 4—Those National League baseball fans ■fc’ho love nothing so much as the Right of a spindly-legged athlete breaking up a game by “bunting” a home run over the fence or into the bleachers may be a trifle disappointed In the 1931 season. For the new ball adopted by the league owners Is calculated to take the home run out of the hands of everybody, including the batboy, and restore it to legitimate sluggers. Tliat is, the new ball with its heavier, looser cover still will respond to a good, old-fashioned Gallagher and Johnson Scrap Tops Mitt Bill By United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 4—Jose Santa, the giant Portuguese who meets Knute Hansen in a ten-round fight at the Chicago stadium tonight, bemoaned the fact today that, despite his size, he is not to headline the show'. Informed that the scheduled feature bout between Tony Canzoneri, lightweight champion, and Goldie Hess, had been canceled, Santa entertained hopes that his 260-pounds of weight and his six feet seven inches of height would entitle him to become the main attraction. Tills illusion was dispelled Tuesday night when Matchmaker Nate Lewis announced the feature bout would be ten rounds between Marty Gallagher, Washington, D. C., and Larry Johnson, Negro heavyweight of Chicago. NET - DRAWINGS MADE Two Local Teams to Compete to 115-Pound Tourney. By Times Special ® HUNTINGTON, Ind„ Feb. 4.

smack on the nose, but will not leap over the centerfield fence when caressed by any one wearing flannels and spiked shoes. In addition to the heavier, less resilient cover, the new ball will have the raised stitches of years ago, which will give the pitchers more to grip when uncorking their deliveries to the batter. In recent years the ball manufacturers have spent a great deal of their time devising ways and means of reducing the stitches to a minimum. The result of their labors was a ball that offered a pitcher just about as much to grip as does a well-oiled doorknob. The higher stitch ball should prove a boon to veteran pitchers who have lost some of their speed ar.d strength but still possess their skill and cunning. Pitchers are not the only ones who will welcome the less “jack rabbitty” ball, for infielders, espe- ! daily third basemen, who, because | of their proximity to the plate, were in constant dread of losing an ear, or even a leg, will hail the ball with delight. If the American League .does not see fit to adopt the same sphere as the National, there is bound to be a conflict when the world series rolls around. This probably would be settled, however, by using the National ball when the National club was at home, and vice versa. Failure of the two leagues to adept a uniform ball also would tend to dampen the rivalry between Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson, home run kings of the American and National, respectively, for the Babe, were he to hit more circuit clouts than Hack, would certainly be reminded by National Leaguers that he batted against a more lively ball than his rival. The same goes for pitching records, batting records, and all the other thousand and one records the statisticians manage to put together. In addition to adopting the new ball the owners approved the 1931 playing season, calling for the opening game on April 15 and the closing one on Sept. 27. The latter date, by the way, is the earliest in twentytwo years. DOOLEY SHOOT WINNER Jack Dooley won the weekly shoot of the Crooked Creek Gun Club Tuesday, breaking 49 out of 50 targets. Unbanhowar and Mclntire were second with 46. Logan won the handicap event with a perfect score to twenty-five attempts.
