Back to Horsehide of Ye Olden
Days; Watch Batting Averages in
The Major Leagues Begin to Shrink
By FRANK G. MENKE.
(Copyright. 19X1. by King Features Syndicate. Inc.)
SEP the periscope trained upon the clouting av
erages in the majors.
Watch 'em shrink from now on.
They've gone and done it changed back
the old horsehide to more or less of a semblance
of the one in play of ye olden days when four
baggers and other lengthy swats were soul-stir
ring exceptions, not ordinary
The powers that be in the diamond
world came to realize some weeks
ago that there was loo much hit
I ting that the ball was so lively and
! the ozone so full of hits that fan-
dom had become apathetic. It found
that the fans who once weren't en
thused with air-tight pitching, be
cause there was so much of it in that
era, yearned for those whitewash af
iairs of old.
And back they'll come the sling
ing duels because the manufactur
ers now are turning out the brand of
base balls that give the pitcher at
least a 50-50 break with the clubber.
Some are in play already. The new
brand will be used exclusively as
soon as the stock of "lively" ones
are exhausted.
The mystery of the lively ball
the reason for such poor pitching
and such tremendous batting is
solved in a thorough examination of
the 'ball that was in play through
the early months of the year. True,
the ball carried a better grade of
rubber, a finer grade of resilent yarn.
But that, in itself, doesn't explain
why batters, even the most mediocre,
were pounding star moundsmen for
a fusillade of hits.
The real reason is the trick stitch
ing.
In ye olden times the stitching of
the ball was on the outside. That
enabled the pitcher to get a firm
grasp, and a firm grasp meant con
trol and deceivers. An J so .300
swatters were rarities indeed. The
stitching on the "lively ball" is prac
tically buried under the cover. The
result is a globule almost as smooth
as a billiard ball. And anyone who
ever tried to throw a billiard ball
knows that control is utterly impos
sible, for the ball slips out of the
hand without any "stuff" on it.
Along about Decoration day the
bases of the ball parki came sudden
ly to realize that there was too
much hitting that the long dis
tance clout had to be curbed. It was
then, according to information that
is reliable, that the manufacturers
began the return to the old time
iiorsehide; the one which, when it
yielded -a hit, was an honest safety,
not a burlesque blow.
The first stock of the new brand
o; balls or. rather, the old ball of
1918 and 1919 made its debut in
the parks along about July 4. Since
then more and mori have come and
are being mixed up in use with the
old ones. Eventually they will re
place the "lively" ball entirely. And
then will return the days when .300
clubbers are few and far between.
It might be well to mark down
now the whanging figures that were
in vogue while the "lively" ball was
the only species of 1920 so that they
can be compared with the final re
turns in October. The figures up
to June 30, which comprise close to
half a regular season are:
American League.
Average games, 67; total homers,
220; batting average, .295.
National League.
Average games, 65 total homers,
213; batting average, .292.
On June 29 six of the 16 clubs
were racing for .300 or better. They
were: Indians. .328; Tigers, .327;
Browns, .300; Cardinuls, .310; Cubs,
.506 and Braves, .300.
Now, with half of the balls in play
of the old vintage and a rapid re
turn of balls with stitching on the
outside watch those averages sluff
back to the days when a .285 club
was ranked as one composed of hit
ting demons.

14 Local Clubs
Ask for Permits
Legion, Cornliusker Club,
Elks and Athletic Club
Seek Boxing Licenses.
Lincoln, July 29. (Special.) The
new American Legion boxing law
i.ermits seven Omaha clubs to get
permits for holding boxing exhibi
tions. Today there were 14 Omaha clubs
who had applied for boxing licenses
to H. H. Antles, secretary of the de
partment of public welfare. They
are:
American Legion Post No. 1,
Cornhusker club, Cudahy Packing
company, Theodore Roosevelt Post
No. 30, Ak-Sar-Bcn Exposition com
1 any, Spanish-American War Vet
erans. Elks, Elks (colored). World
War Veterans, Stock Yards Business
Men's association, Nonuareil Ath
letic club, Omaha Athletic club,
Knights of Columbus and Colored
Men's Industrial club.
Antles has sent application blanks
to all club secretaries to be filled out.
It may be that some of the clubs
are not eligible. However, if there
are more eligible .-pplicants than
there are permits to hand out it is
probable a conference with the va
rious applicants will be held to en
deavor to reach an amicable agree
ment on which clubs shall receive
the licenses.
Three Hurt in Game
At Gibbon; Governor
McKelvie Throws Ball
Gibbon, Neb., July 29. (Special.)
As a special attraction at the farm
r.ureau picnic at Gibbon Gov. S. R.
McKelvie pitched the first ball at the
opening of the base ball game be
tween Gibbon and Pleasanton. May
or Mickey of Gibbon caught the ball,
which Shortstop Hunter of PJeasan
ton missed with a healthy swing.
The high wind played havoc with
the game and it was difficult for the
players to judge the ball in fielding.
In the first inning Hunter, first up
for Pleasanton, was hit on the head
by one of Codner's fast ones, but
after a few minutes out he was able
to take first and by daring base run
ning scored, the plucky shortstop
continuing in the game until the
sixth inning when he collapsed and
was carried from the field uncon
scious. It Was in this same inning Pitcher
Codner of Gibbon hit a high infield
fly that was carried by the wind to
the line. In fielding the ball Second
Esseman Stanage of Pleasanton col
lided with Codner, who was sprinting
to first base. Both players were ren
dered unconscious, Stanage received
a broken nose and several bad
bruises, while Codner recovered
quickly and outside of soreness in
left shoulder will no doubt be able
to pitch again in a few days. Owing
to these accidents the game was de
dared off and will be played over
on August 21 at Gibbon.
Tony TVeleholr. local heavyweight, under
management of Al Valentine, is bo
pleased with his recent showing with
Soldier Morples that he haa asked his
manager to seek a bout with Bob Roper
for him.

Junior Net Plav
To Start August 8
August 8 has been selected for the
date of the annual junior tennis tour
ney at the Field club. The tourna
ment will be under the supervision
of the state association for the first
time and will be an open meet.
Vernon Ldwards of Council Bluffs,
local junior champion, will enter
the tourney to defend his title. Many
outstate entries are expected, while
the association is planning to bring
some Iowa, Missouri and Minnesota
junior racquet swingers here for the
meet.
All boys who did not reach the
age of IV before March 1 of this
year are eligible to enter the meet,
according to "Wally" Metcalf, who
will have charge of the tournament.
More than 2a juniors playing in
the state tourney have promised to
enter the meet. About 50 more en
tries are expected.
The meet was not held last year
because no one would undertake to
manage it. Many ot Omaha's best
tennis players have been former
junior champs, including Kalph
Powell. Will Adams, George stock
ing and Harry Koch.
Will Add Race to
Big Regatta at Detroit
Detroit, Mich.,'' July 29. An ex
press cruiser race tor boats with a
speed of from 17 to 30 miles an hour,
will be added to the gold cup-Harms-
worth trophy regatta here August 27
to September 5. This was decided by
committee here today, l he race
will be held August 28. A proposal
that a gasoline substitute be used
in the Wood-Fisher cruiser race was
vofed down.
To make the identity of the con
tending craft in the gold cup and
Harmsworth races more easily dis-
cernable to spectators, it was decided
that each should c?.rry a distinguish
ing number. Number seven was as
signed to Bolger Boy IV., of Port
land, Ore. .
Gothenburg Country Club
To Hold Golf Tournament
Gothenburg, Neb., July 29. (Spe
cial.) The Country club here has
planned a city golf tournament for
Thursday, August 4. Members have
been ordered to turn in their score-
cards before Sunday.
Set and Match Point
Notes of Interest to Ladies of the
Lob, Dukes of the Lawford and
Knightsof the Racquet.
LofVl tennis leaders are trying to get
Vincent Richards to play here In an ex
hibition match Sunday afternoon at the
Field club. It is certain that the
phenomenal youngster will be here If he
goes to Sioux City to defend his Inter
stats title, and that's doubtful.
Harold Godshall and Harry Coffin, the
Los Angeles stars, are planning to enter
the Iowa meet. It will be good practice
before the national Junior tourney In
Boston, August D2.
Joe Adams Is a popular figure on the
Field club courts, for Joe has a middle
name fit for an European king. It's a
secret, but we'll eplll It. It's "Ludvonic"
sounds like some kind of a tonic or Tan
lac. Call him "Lud" for short.
Oh, those Californlans!
"Why did thst girl call you up," aeked
Coffin after Godshall had finished answer
ing the telephone at the Field club.
"We're going out to tonight," answered
the older Callfornlan.
"Together," asked Coffin.
Carl Meyer didn't know what to do with
tha "vacation" yesterday morning because
of the rsin so he found a fair damsel who
showed him the city In her car.
Grosse. Brown and Smith enjoyed the
"vacation" by going IS holes. Brown's
score was 76 for the first four
holes. Smith averaged 13 for each hole,
while Grosse did the first three holes In
21 He just walked the rest of the course.
Purdy, Dickie Koch's partner In the dou
bles had Just missed the ball.
"You missed It," said Dick.
"How far?" asked Furdy, In all se
rlousness. The tennis players enjoyed themselves
at Krug park last night. A large num
ber of them rode the coaatera, but Meyer
Insisted on riding the merry-go-round un
til he waa ao dlsiy he thought he was
on top of Man O War.
Grosse seemed to like the dsrk ride
through the mill.
George Riley likes to referee,
times It's hard to get one to
but George always volunteers.
Godshall may not be a good tennis
player, but he sure knows how to "lag"
pennies. He won enough to take him to
Council Bluffs.
The numerous progeny of Nels Lund,
caretaker of the courts, furnish plenty of
vaudeville-like amusement for the benefit
of the gallery. No match la dull to watch
when Nels' brood Is about.

Boxing Champion
Cleveland Commission to Send
Statement of Decision to
All State Groups.
Cleveland, O., July 29. The Cleve
land boxing commission is preparing
a statement 'o be sent to all state
boxing commissions and the nation
al boxing commission tomorrow, re
versing the decision of Referee
Jimmy Gardner of Boston, and giv
ing the middleweight championship
of the world to Bryan Downey of
Cleveland. J. B. Wllderding. chair
man of the Cleveland boxing com
mission, announced today.
In a bout here Wednesday night.
Kcfcrec Gardner gave Johnny Wil
son of Boston, the champion, the de
cision on a foul in the seventh round,
claiming Downey struck Wilson
while the champion was down, fol
lowing two previous knockdowns.
The local boxing commission re
verses Referee Gardner's decision on
the ground that, according to the of
ficial timekeeper, Wilson was down
for 13 4-5 seconds on the first knock
down in the seventh round and for
11 seconds on the second, while Ret
iree Gardner counted only nine on
C3ch occasion: that Downey did not
hit Wilson while the champion was
down, and that if a fpul was coni
mittted, it was by Afartin Killilca,
manager of Wilson, when he placed
his, hand on his boxer while he was
down in the seventh round.
Roper and Wiggins
Hooted in Bout
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire.
Detroit, July 29 In the history of
legalized boxing in Detroit no con
test has been so roundly hooted as
the Roper-Wiggins affair at Navin
field last night. Close to 10.000
were in the grandstand and ringside
seats and they congratulated the
management on a shift in the pro
gram. Because of the lowering
clouds the heavy weight slapping
match was put in place of the semi
final and Barbarian, and Shevlin put
tip the last bout. This happened to
be the fight of the evening and en
titled to the place of honor.
Aside from a continuous shower
of gloves the affair between Capt.
Bob Roper of Massachusetts and
Chuck Wiggins of Indianapolis was
rot much. They had gone through
two rounds of light hits, many
misses and nothing worth while,
while other than sAcedy foot work
when the gang bffame dissatisfied
and insisted they be taken out. The
dissatisfaction was so strong that
Referee Rooks cautioned both of
them and they did do better in the
fourth.
They quarreled cn through the 10
sessions. Wiggins is the better box
er and Roper can hit the hardest.
The seventh saw them act a bit
like two school boys.
There was more steam in the final
rounds and they were performing
right nimbly at the final gong.
Now the crowd is wondering how
Roper beat Martin when Martin
beat Moran and Moran has dropped
many a fair heavy.
Old-Timers to
Play Amateur Club
Cleveland, O.. July 29. One of the
greatest gatherings of veteran base
ball celebrities in the history oJ the
diamond was scheduled here today
for a game in which the "old timers"
were to meet a team of veteran sand
lotters as a feature of the 125th an
niversary of Cleveland. It will be
the first time in years that several
of the aged heroes have appeared
in a contest.
"Nap" Lajoie, former star second
baseman, is managing the "Old
Timers" and will play his former
position,
Neale Ball, hero of one of the few
unassisted triple plays in the major
leagues, will be at short. Bill Brad
ley, who held the major league rec
ord of a homerun a day for four
consecutive days until "Babe" Ruth
broke it a few weeks ago, will take
care of third base, and "Cy" Young,
the only pitcher who ever won 500
games, was one of those to occupy
the mound.
