Baseball's Kid Brother Grows Like Weed; Estimated 10 Million in U.S. Play Softball

Opinion Differs on Whether Sport Provides Training Ground for Majors.

By JERRY BRONDFIELD NEA Service Sports Editor

Baseball's kid brother has grown "ip and the 65,000,00 fans who will watch softball played this summer should be proof enough that the sport soon may be recognized as the most popular in the country. That many people, plus more than 10,000,00 active participants, can't be wrong. However, the tremendous appeal softball has for spectator interest will not harm baseball; instead, many competent observers feel it will prove a very valuable adjunct to the national game. Opinions differ as to whether softball will prove a training ground for big league baseball material, but it is agreed that softball has done so much to arouse interest in baseball as a sport that the big leagues are bound to benefit commercially.

No Stepping Stone, Sisler Holds

This, despite the fact that in many cities softball games cutdraw baseball games by thousands. George Sisler, who reputedly made a small fortune by organizing softball in St. Louis after he concluded his major league career, is foremost among those who do not regard softball as a big league talent feeder. “Even though softball requires just as much skill,” he points out, “the difference in size of the playing field, and the ball, call for a definite technique. Unless a boy has had a lot of previous hardball experience, he will find it difficult to adapt himself to actual baseball.”

Henrich a Softball Star

Heinie Groh, New York Giant scout, concurs. He says youngsters realize this, and those who have their eyes on big league careers and the fat salaries to be made therein are passing up softball for baseball. Softball players, however, have gone to major league stardom. Tommy Henrich of the Yanks and Ken Keltner of the Indians are the two outstanding examples, having played the game in Massillon and Milwaukee, respectively. A small minority, headed by Joe Cronin, Red Sox manager, contend that softball is a natural step toward baseball—provided the boy doesn’t

Softball, largely a product of the depression, received its big impetus from the fact it could be played in less room with less equipment, which in turn meant less expense, The Amateur Softball Association of America did much to organize the sport by standardizing rules, receiving sanction of the National A. A. U., and promoting the softball world series which is held in Chicago each year. Here is the finest softball teams in the land compete for what is tantamount to the world’s amateur championship.
