NEW BALL TO STICK DESPITE LOW BAT AVERAGES

Senior Loop Magnates Discuss Pellet Today Some Owners and Managers Favor Switching to American League Type, Which Is Not as ‘Dead’ as National, but Change Is Unlikely. BY DIXON STEWART United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, June 24.—Unlike the “balloon” golf ball, the new “dead” baseball is credited with bringing an improvement to its game, and when National League magnates meet here today in their annual summer session they are expected to officially indorse the 1931 spheroid. There is considerable opposition to the “dead” baseball, but whereas golfers are in open revolt against the 1931 golf ball, no baseball magnate will admit fostering a fight against the new baseball. Several nlubs, notably Brooklyn and Pittsburgh, have had little succ&s with the new ball, and would welcome a return to the “jack rabbit” of 1930, but :he sentiment of the magnates is predominantly in favor of the new tall.

PETROLLE SET NEW YORK, June 24.—Justo Suarez of Argentina and Billy Petrolle of Fargo, N.

President John Heydler has compiled data w’hich will afford comparison of hitting and pitching for this season as against performances in the 1930 campaign. Admittedly the new ball has resulted in a general reduction of batting averages, and is none too popular-with the hitters. The league average is off .025 from the mark at this time in 1930, with no team showing an increase, and the twenty leading individual hitters show an average decline of .054 from their percentages at a similar stage of the 1930 season. Home run hitting has been cut 33 1-3 per cent. Heydler and a majority of the magnates and managers believe the reduction in hitting has been more than offset by a general improvement in pitching and fielding. The balancing of offensive and defensive strength has resulted in a return of ‘ inside” baseball and close games, and the popularity of the change is attested by increased gate receipts. With the public enthusiastic over the improved competition and elimination of cheap home runs, there is little likelihood that the magnates will consider any change in the ball. Some of the ov/ners would favor a switch to the ball now used in the American League, which also has raised stitches, but is not as dead as the National League ball because of its thinner cover, but it is almost certain that no change will be made. The American League is expected to fellow suit and adopt the heavier coyer for 1932, thus making the bails in the tw’o leagues uniform. By United Press NEW YORK. June 24.—The effect of the “dead” ball on National League club and individual batting averages is shown by the following statistics: CLUB BATTING v Tm "!- , 1931. 1930. Loss.

Lowly Reds Chill Fast-Stepping Braves by Sweeping Twin Bill

BY LEO H.

But they have been hoboes, too, for when

32 College Golfers Start Match Play in Title Event

BY GEORGE KIRKSEY tailed Press Staff Correspondent OLYMPIA FIELDS .Chicago. June 24.—With the field reduced from 119 to 32 after the thirty-six-hole qualifying round, the real battle started today for the national intercollegiate golf championship. By nightfall the survivors will be reduced to eight as a result of the first and second rounds, eighteen holes each of match play. Yale grabbed off most of Tuesday's honors, winning the team championship with anew low total of 610. The team title was decided on the basis of the four low scorers for the thirty-six-hole qualifying round. Jack Reese of Jamestown, Pa, who was graduated from Yale last week, won medalist honors v/ith 7373 —146, three less than his two nearest competitors, Randall Ahren, Detroit City college, and Sidney Noyes Jr., of Yale. Yale also led in qualifiers, placing four men in the championship round. Princeton, Michigan and Illinois each qualified three. A bit of sportsmanship on the part of Phillips Finlay of Harvard, conceded to be one of the best golfers in the tournament, kept him from qualifying. Tommy Aycock Jr. of Yale. Finlay’s partner, gave Finlay a total score cf 83 for Tuesday’s round. Finlay corrected the score on one hole, where he had taken five strokes, but was credited with

Stribling in - Fast Drill Challenger Takes Title Tilt Seriously; Schmeling ‘Fears’ Him. By United Press GEAUGA LAKE, O, June 24 For the first time in his life Willie Stribling is taking a prize fight seriously. The Georgian has made a business of fighting for ten years, but he has been wise enough not to get painfully conscientious about the outcome of any one of his 294 ring engagements. The international argument with Max Schmeling July 3 is different, judging from the challenger's workouts. In his appearance Tuesday night, Stribling showed himself a very determined and efficient ring strategist. He opened the workout against Frank Crawdey, speedy Philadelphia scrapper. Crawley displayed a dangerous left when he was not too busy covering up to avoid the challenger’s own left. Maine Works Today By United Press CONNEAUT LAKE PARK, Pa., June 24.—Max Schmeling fears Willie Stribling, and therefore is taking no chances in his preparation to defend his heavyweight title against the Georgian July 3. While the champion claims supreme confidence, ne certainly is not overconfident, and occasional remarks during the training sessions reveal his respect for the challenger. Schmeling gets a keen satisfaction out of each workout against sparring mates. He was anticipating six rounds with his paid catchers today after tw r o days of rest. He will rest Thursday, and complete his sparring engagements with workouts Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

they meet Philadelphia or Cincinnati, it doesn’t seem to be in the books for them to win. Particularly have the Reds, holders of last place in the Standings, been annoying to Boss McKechnie’s men this season. Cincinnati made the Braves look like hoboes Tuesday and captured both ends of a double-header. It might not have been such a bitter pill for Boston followers to swallow, except for the fact that the Braves had just finished splitting even in a six-game series 'with the pacesetting St. Louis Cardinals.. It’s

only four, and had an 84 to tie with three others for the last position. He lost out in the playoff. Two Notre Dame stars qualified. Larry Moller, 1930 runner-up, had 155, and William Redmond, 153.

Risko, Galento Sign for Top Prelim Battle

By United Press CLEVELAND. June 24.—Johnny Risko, Cleveland heavyweight, will fight Tony Galento, Orange, N.

RACING BILL PASSED By United Press MONTGOMERY, Ala., June 24 A bill legalizing horse racing and mutuel pool wagering in Mobile county, Alabama, was sent today to the state house of representatives with the approval of the senate, given by a vote of 16 to 5.

ssphine Rockwood of I. C. C., was back of tha leader ten strokes after a bad round Tuesday. Tha spirited battle waged by the young players, when Miss Dunn had been expected to walk away with the honors, has been the outstanding feature of the tourney. But Miss Dunn forged her w r ay back into the pinnacle position Tuesday after winding up in fourth Monday* She was Just there strokes over women’s par on the out nine Tuesday with a 41. being over one stroke on each of the first, third and sixth holes because she missed short putts. Miss Adams, Monday’s leader. took a 42 for the nine. Miss Dunn overtook both Miss White and Miss Rockwccd on the “out” nine and set cut from the tenth tee to overcome the young Meridian Hills player. How well she did it is told in the score card which gives her a 40 on the back nine just two strokes over women’s par, while Miss Adams took a 44. The champion’s putter was working and she was making some splendid recoveries after an occassional missed shot. Although Miss Adams fired another consistent round of £6. the same as Monday, it couldn't match the 81 of Miss

One Hit

By United Press CLEVELAND, June 24.—Willis Hudlin, Cleveland pitcher, allowed only one hit in pitching the Indians to a 10 to 0 triumph over the Boston Red Sox Tuesday. Webb's single in the second inning marred a perfect contest for Hudlin, w ? ho did not allow a Boston runner to advance beyond first base.

only when the going is the toughest that the Braves are at their best. They did little but go through the motions Tuesday when they dropped the first game to the Reds, 2 to 0. Red Lucas allowed but three hits while Sherdel wasn’t much of a puzzle for the Reds. But the Reds weren’t satisfied with one victory so they scored another, this one 8 to 4 in a contest that w r as called at the end of tjoe sixth inning because of rain. Larry Benton mastered three Boston hurlers in the aftermath.

The defeats dropped tlie*Braves to within a half a game of second division as the other National League teams were idle.

The drive was a towering fiy that barely carried over the low barrier in right, near the scoreboard.

Both second sackers were busv Tuesday Sigafoos of the Indians accepting eight chances and Marauardt of the Blues the same number. Treadawav at third contributed a great plav on Montague's bunt In the eighth, taking it with one nand to get the runner bv a perfect threw. Marauardt made a long run for a near hit bv Grjffm tn the fifth. It was deep down the right field foul line. Pick also covered much ground catching up with Walker’s drive in the ninth. The K. C. left fielder sprinted far over to the line to make the catch. Manager Zwilling of the Blues has an entire new infield since the K. C. boys visited here in April. He obtained Monahan from the Indians. Marauardt from the Boston Red Sox. Akers from Detroit and Treadawav from Chattanooga. Outfielder Dugas was obtained recently from the Pirates and catcher Padden from the Yankees. Akers is taking the place of Brower who graduated to the majors.

Irish Gridiron Coach Enters Mayo Clinic By United Press CHICAGO. June 24. Heartly (Hunk) Anderson, Notre Dame’s senior football coach succeeding the late Knute Rockne, was en route today to the Mayo clinic at Rochester to be treated for serious sinus trouble and a general breakdown. Accompanied by Mrs. Anderson, he passed through Chicago Tuesday night and made the change of trains in a wheel chair. He was in intense pain from the sinus attack. Mrs. Anderson said he had lost fourteen pounds in the last five days. Anderson had been treated daily for the last five weeks. Just fifteen months ago, Rockne was returning from the Rochester clinic, where he had been treated for a leg infection that threatened his life. He recovered only to meet death several months ago in a Kansas airplane wreck. Anderson’s breakdown, friends said, was due to worry over his work.
