¥ SPORTS: 'BELIEVED PEP REMOVED FROM THE NEW SPHERES Found Balls in Boston “Soggy and pead," but Recent Shipment to St. Louis Shows No Change Has Been Made. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. T. LOUIS. July 11.—It would seem that the report about the powers S that be, concluding the alleged “rabbit ball” was hurting the game, had ordered discontinuance of the use of “better-materials” in the manufacture of the spheres, is the bunk. Washington players claimed that in the series at Boston, where close games were the order, the new shipment of balls nsed there scemed loose, soggy and dead, in comparison with the balls in use all season prior thereto. When they came here and were licked a couple of times, with the enemy rolling up a dozen runs in each battle through an abundance of bingles. including many for extra bases, and inquiry disclosed that none of the new balls had as vet been put in play, the Griffs thought they had discovered something.

While two baggers, three baggers and home runs have showered like meteors this season there has heen unusual uniformity in their fall upon the diamond. Going back over the games from the 1st of April it is found that the pace which was set by the big league batters at the start of the season has been zealously kept up. Nine days, for Instance, which were selected in April and nine days taken at random in May and June, compared with nine days in-July, show neither increase of effectiveness in pitching nor any marked variation in batting. It is history that pitchers get better as the season progresses. but it may be added that their greater steadiness and occasionally greater speed usual- Iy begins to manifest itself in July, and reaches its height in September. That the average for pitchers has been so steady to date would seem to indicate that the ball has but little to do_with the batting. Don't forget that Ruth made fifty-four home runs | 3!in 1920 and there was no hullabaloo kicked up about the ball then. It's the same old ball and be it added the same old pitchers with a little em- phasis on the old, for the hurlers. Enough games have been pitched with hits limited to not more than eight to show that the pitchers can predominate over the batters if they have the skill and the strength, and if they haven't lost their knack of curving the ball. ANZACS HAIL GLOAMING AS RIVAL TO MAN 0’ WAR A speed marvel of the turf which is being heralded as a rival for Man o' War has been discovered in Australia.

The Australian horse is the mid- dle-distance champion, Gloaming. Begin Racing at Fort Miami.

CHICAGO, IIL, July 11.—Youthful golfers predominated in the first qualifying round today of the twdenty-second amateur champion- ship of the Western Golf Association at the Westmoreland Country Club. Comparatively few veterans aside from Chick Evans, defending his title for the fifth time, entered the contest of driver and iron over the 6,504-yard links, thickly beset with nearly 200 bunkers of varying de- &rees' of nastiness for the unwary ‘player. Hot. dry weather made the course exceeding fast, so that well placed drives and long irons ran well toward their goal. but hurried misdirected balls toward yawning gulf from which the players had difficulty in extricating their new standardized pellets, used for the first time in America in a national championship.
