The answer to it, T am told by, John Arnold Heydler, the league'si chizf executive, is that O'Doul fin- ally discovered he had to shorten| and control his swing to adjust himself to the antics of the less lively ball “O'Doul started out swinging as| hard as he did against the old bail | and quickly found himself in| trouble,” explained Heydler. “As soon as he shortened his swing, he began to get better results, but he | had made the mistake while in his slump of trying to swing even harder, } “The smart batters have over- come most of the difficulties cre- ated by better pitching and more varieties of pitching now evident in our league. It is because of the advantage gained by the pitch-} er, through the use of the new | ball, that T decided ‘to abolish the | quick return.’ This deception was | unfair to the batter and I found | little objection to barring it. | To the man who believed it was just as much the responsibility of the batsman to be set for anything | as it was for the pitcher to slip*‘ a fast one over, I put this question: ‘Suppose, with the tying or winning run on third, your siar batsman is suddenly caught unprepared by a| quick third strike? You are liable | to have a riot on your hands.” » Eyc-Catchers Two of the young newcomers to National League company who caught Heydler's eye on his West- | ern trip were Vince Barton, the outfielder obtained by the Cubs; from the coast, and Groskloss, the Pirate second baseman who made the big jump from Amherst Col- lege. | Groskloss has caught the fancy, of the followers at Forbes Field,! where they have passed on the merits of many a good infielder ¢ince the palmy days of thes great' Honus Wagner. & The Pirates at | one time had Joe; Cronin, now the premier shortswp} of the American League, if not of| both major circuits.
