Major League Batters, on Slugging Spree, May Run Up New Home Run Marks National Loop Hitting Peps Up With Return of ‘Live’ Ball: Each Circuit Has High Home Run Average in Cold Weather Games. BY JACK C'IDDY I nits and Prm Staff Cormpondcnt NEW YORK. April 24.—Major league batsmen, staging one of the preatest early-season slugging orgies •in baseball history, today start blasting away again toward anew league home run record, refreshed after a twenty-four-hour respite. The symphony of swat booming in both circuits, aided and abetted by the uniform 'live" ball, menaces the all-time league heme run record of 892 established by National League players in 1930. That sensational record was one 1

reason why the National League in 1931 shifted to the "dead” pellet. John Heydler's circuit used tins ball for the last three seasons, while the American division continued with the live one. Now the dynamite sphere is back in the National and the batsmen have picked up where they left off. They are trying to improve the 892 mark, and American sluggers keep pace. National batsmen have driven out 28 homers in 21 games, and American wallopers have hit 27 in 20 The National 28 is more than four times as many as was made in that circuit during the flrsf 21 games of 1933. while the American 27 is a fair increase for the corresponding 20 games Last season. In rolling up 892 homers in 1930. National sluggers averaged 1.44 home runs a game. The cold weather averages in both circuits are only slightly below that this year, 1.33 in the National and 1.35 in the American. Unless the ashwielders are hitting far over their heads, these averages should be bettered during the hot weather when the balls dry out and carry farther. Os course, improvement of pitchers will counteract this somewhat. At any rate, it seems that anew American League home run mark is in the making. The record for that circuit, 708, was established in 1932. This was an average of 1.1 home run per game, or less than the current 1.35 in that division.

U. S. Golfers May Use Either Ball in Cup Competition Walker Team to Practice With American and British Pellets. BY HENRY M’LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent ABOARD S. S. CALEDONIA, At Sea, April 24.—Members of the United States Walker cup team are pleased with the United States Golf Association's decision to permit them to use either the American or British golf ball in their matches at St. Andrews. Francis Ouimei of Boston, team captain and spokesman, expressed his appreciation and pointed out that it might have an important bearing on the tourney. When the team sailed Saturday, it was uncertain whether the association would permit use of the smaller British ball. "We will gauge our selections by the weather,” Ouimet explained. “Our boys probably will use the American ball unless the course Is swept with wind. In that case, the smaller British ball would be preferable, since it offers less resistance and is less likely to be,carried from its course. During our practice sessions we will play with both balls.” The players had some driving practice aboard ship today. A driving stand was erected on the upper stern deck. Ouimet has nearly a bushel of “clucks," which will be driven into the ocean.
