These critics are opposed by other fans who maintain that the “indoor” game has its place and that it reaches a larger number of people of both. sexes than the hard ball sport could. Both camps “have ar- guments to support thelr claims, and all agree that the advent of the soft ball game has distinctly changed things in baseball, Baseball is about 75 years oldy and for well over half that time it has been s0 popular that sports writers have justly applied to it the epithet of “the national pastime.” Its beginnings are the subject of discussion, but the origin of soft ball is even more obscure, The two games seem to have been born to- gether in the days when balls were of home manufacturc and were made hard or soft in accordance with the size or skill of the players who were to use them. The hard ball game became professionalized and leagues were organized, so that the ball use had to be standardized, but youngsters on the.sandlots still continued to use many a stuffed sock for a ball, Bascball Goes Indoows With the growth of organized play in gymnasiums, baseball was taken indoors and was used along with basketball, ring hockey, and similar sports, Of course, a soft ball had to be used, and the manu- facturers soon produced balls of defi- nite standards to meet this need. The soft ball also came to the fore with the development of summer playgrounds, as it was admirably fitted for the smaller boys and for girls. Out of this stage the game was lifted by the men who played it in the gyms and the youngsters who had grown up with it on the play- grounds. The game was found to be well adapted for twilight sport, and thought, than demanded on the amond. 90-foot df Losing Ground Both sides agroe that the two games are best played by men who speci...ise in the respective brands and there is already some discrim- ination between them by many players. That baseball has lost ground among the youth of the country is confirmed by athletic equipment dealers, who report a great falling off in sales of bats, balla, and gloves. A local . porting goods merchant re- cently stated that the decrease in sal:s of these goods was very large, while tennis balls go so fast they ca not be kept In loc' and there is a great demand for golfing quip- ment. There is a compensating fac- and factories, churches and lodges took it up. It could be played with much less equipment and by men who could not show to advantage in the regulation variety, so that it appealed to men of ordinary ability and those who could not charge ad- misson to their games. The various leagues still have their own sets of rules, but, from the helter-skelter conditiens under which the man who argued longest was always right, “indoor” baseball has progressed to the point where at least each circuit has its definite rules. There are actually official rules for the game when played in- doors, while the twilight leagues have generally adopted the regular baseball code and made those changes which the different ball renders advisable. Popular in Leagucs Here The sport has been much in vogue in New Britain during the past few seasons. The Inter-Church league has been playing for four summers and the Fraternal league recently finished a successful first season, while a number of factories have thelr own inter-department leagues. The shops have also organized a girls' loop, and both boys and girls participate in their respective leagues during the course of the summer playground scason. The arguments both for and against the soft ball sport are hinged upon its differences from the regular game. The ball is larger, the pitch- ing is from below the shoulder in- stead of above, and the distance be- tween pitcher and batter is shorter. The ball comes over the plate differ- ently and the bat must be swung more quickly than in baseball. This, it is claimed, spoils a ball player's sense of timing the pitch and ruins his batting eye. ! Arguments Against Soft Ball The shorter distances between bases is further claimed to affect a player's throwing ability, while the lighter ball is blamed for thrown- out arms. Few hard ball pitch- ers attempt pitching in a soft ball game, for the underarm motion and |shorter distance to plate are gaid to reduce, effectiveness and even injure a hurler's arm. New Britain has many good baseball pitchers and quite a few clever indoor tossers, but only one or two have risked their wings by trying both, and it is claimed that indoor pitching is re- | | sponsible for sudden deadness in the | |arm of one prominent local player | this season. The boys who grow up in the soft ball pastime, its defamers declare, |are not hardened enougi for the reg- lular game and never acquire the | felding and batting ability necessary {for a proper showing. 1f this con- stant growth of soft ball at the ex- |pense of its bigger brother keeps up, the alarmists fear that the time will come when there will not be |enough youthful material to replace the men now playing organized base- | {ball and that the sport will die out Ibecause of lack of personnel. Steps have already been taken to {overcome this trend away from base- iball to moft ball. golf, and tennis. The American Legion, service organ- |izations, and municipalities, often lx\nh the encouragement and finan- icial assistance of the professional lcagues, have recently been sponsor- ing organized leagues which purpose to develop new material for the dia- mond. | The defenders of indoor baseball also have their arguments. They maintain that only a small percent- |age of boys are really able to become [proficient in baseball and, that soft ball is for the greater crowd who could not hope to make a showing in the other game, also for those who make only occasional stabs at plaving or who are losing their | youth and are unable to keep in con- |ditfon. They assert wi‘h some just- lification that soft ball is the faster |game, its smaller playing fleld mak- ¢ 22 MAIN STREET For Sale Five room Cottage on Clark street. Extra lot.
