Baseball Stars Explain
Why.Hitting; Is Common
Chicago.—Here are the reasons ad
vanced by some of baseball's leaders in
explaining tbe increased long-distance
hitting:
Tris Speaker, manager of the world
champion Cleveland Indians—“Ineffec
tive pitching is the cause. They have
barred the emery ball, the spieler and
all tbe Jold deliveries. The pitebers
haven’t anything left but a glove and a
prayer, and they, work the prayer
overtime.”
Ty Gobb, manager of the Detroit
Americans—“Baseball moves in cycles.
We had the cycle of great base run
ning, tbe cycle of great pitching, and
now we have the cycle of heavy hit
ting. it won't last long..’’
Johnny Evers, manager of the Chi
eago Cabs—- “It*'s the lively ball. The
balrf is so fast the players can’t handle
it, and the force that used to be used in
bunting now puts the. ball out of the
infield. The fast ball is crippling in
fielders and spoiling the game.”
John Heydlerf president of the Na
tiona) League—“Babe Ruth caused it.
Babe trade everyone think it was easy
to hit homers and now the batters
swing their hardest. Evervone takes
a full s.vitLg at the bah; .result—more
long hits than ever.”
Kid Lieason,. amuager of the (Jhi
caiiO White Sox — *‘It’s partly the fast
ball and partly the fact that the
leather has been so bad in the central
west that the. western clubs pitchers
are not in condition.. Most of the
heavy hitting,has been in the East by
eastern clubs .against, western clubs’
pitchers.”
Frank £!a«in,i president of Detroit
American League Cluhrr--ft’s not the
lively call* for there is do., such thing.
The balls are all, the same.. The hit
ting is caused by the rules prohibiting
a pitcher from doctoring the ball a lit
tle. He’d rub dirt.on it to roughen it
up a little, spat on it and do lots of
other things to enable him to get a
better grip. These things are barred
now, and the pitchers are ineffective
as a result.”
