AMPA, Fla., April 1.-—While the training base here toda T base ball commissioner, can do about Although the judge's meeting with several of the Harrismen here Tuesday was something of a secret affair, well substantiated rumors of what tran- | spired during the session indicate the effort to have the American League in vogue among National League hurlers.

Apparently, the judge has been qQuietly investigating the matter ir 1 of the American League clul camns in this State and has learned that wl- wiost every pitcher gets the powder on his hand by some hook o crook. He ought not to have had much trouble discovering this, for the resin bag has been seen on or nearby every American League Club beneh many times, according to men closely identi- Ged with the game. That American League pitchers were employing resin last year was no secret. They did not use it openly, but there always was a supply at hand for a champlonship game. The same condition prevailed in the Na- eynal League, so that organization de- €ided to let the public in on the secret and adopted the rule sanctioniug its use. Rule Is Opposed by A. L. The American league at its meeting in February, however, took a decided stand against the adoption of the rule that had heen formulated by the senior major cireuit and minor league representatives and the judge at the meeting of the joint rules comrnittees 3ut, evidently, the stand of the Amerfcan League officfals has not had any effect on the playing personnel of the league, Those pitchers who had been using resin have contfnued pring tr: ing games.

Such underhand practice is adbhor- rent to the judge. it has been said He wants everything in the playing of the game to be above hoard and there is every likelihood that he wil fight for the adoption of tho resin bag by the American League. Of course, the league is not comyelied to accept every rule formulated by the joint rules committee. It suid at its meeting in Washington in February that it could take a rule or leave it not in so many words, but that was the gist of its argument.
