New “Dead” Ball Gets Once Over

National league pitchers may look upon the new “dead” ball as a
• boon that will prevent batting sprees by opposing teams. These three
pitchers of the New York Giants, Hal Schumacher, left, Cliff Melton,
center, and Carl Hubbell, are shown looking at the new ball at their
spring training camp at Hot Springs, Ark. The new “dead” ball was
selected for the 1938 season in the National league at a meeting of club
presidents several months ago. At that time the American league de
cided to retain the so-called lively ball. The dead ball is expected to
reduce the advantage which hitters have enjoyed for several years over
pitchers and result in a return of base-stealing and “tight” baseball.
