A majority of the local softbullers who have played both baseball and softball, however, maintain that an athlete can play both and there is u natural step from softball into buseball for the youngster who plans to make a career of the latter. Along this line the following article, written by a well xnown eastern sports writer who has made a study of the controversy, is pre- sented: 8 BV CON HAIllltSON never can tell wh.it happen in a softball - game.

The ball is larger and the distance between base is shorter, but the mechanics of the game remain the same "The big complaint In the past has been against the pitching, where, to all appearances, every advantage has been with the hurl-e- r instead of the hitter. The ball comes over with such speed that of the old phrase eye, mind and muscle must he just that or the batter walks back to the bench. "Softball pitchers, despite the underhand delivery, have learned to perform astounding tricks with the sphere. Pitchers like RochesFrankie ters "Shifty" Gears, Brauer and Fred Konrad of Cleveland, and Ed Figelski of Detroit average three games a season, along with an imposing string of one. and no-h- it s. The speed at which the softball comes down the third base line, or to short, is a revelation. No big leaguer ever need a better eye or surer hands on a double play hall than the inner defense in a softball game. h "Opinions, however, differ on softball. Joe Cronin, manager of the Boston lied Sox, waxes very enthusiastic about the game. "It can very easily be a nat ural step to real baseball, he claims Of course there's the matter of becoming adjusted to baseball once the change is made, but it certainly goes a long way toward preparing a boys instinct and ... Fundamentally, Cronin continues, I ran see where the two sports can be very much the same. The differences in rules arent enough to prevent a boy from becoming proficient in both, and if he has natural athletic ability he should he able to make the jump to baseball without too much difficulty provided he doesnt wait too long." "Mickey Cochrane, on the other hand, cant see the similarity between softball and baseball. " Its a good game for the kids in crowded cities granted, says Iron Mike. 'And it's inexpensive and great exercise. But mark my words there'll .be very few graduates of softball who wind up in the big leagues.

NEW YORK. July 22 (I..P Don't say anything, because the Brooklyn Dodgers might remember they are the original daffiness boys and realize they are playing the best ball in the National league today. Down through the years the Dodgers have furnished the comic iclief for the major league. The fact that Brooklyn has stood for their zanies so long lends substantiation to the statement that is the best baseball city in it America. Grime Alters Team There is an old saying that "once a Dodger, always a Dodger," when but Manager Bureligh ' took over Brooklyn man the start of at the 1937 agership season, he said "Nuts, I was a Dodger once and they never hooked me up with a.l th .t nonsense. The daffiness boyj aru dead. Acrobatics, clowning, playing and loafing are strictly cut." Grimes' men have won eight out of their last 10 games all against first division c ubs. They were in seventh place On July 12 before they knocked the New York Giants out of the league had. This victory pulled them into sixth ahead of St. Louis. Th.-- moved into Pittsburgh and took two out of three from the Pirates. Cincinnati was knocked out of third place when the Dodgers won three straight from them. And, against the Chij cago Cubs Brooklyn won two out of three to climb ahead of Boston into fifth place. Camilli Hits One The one they lost to the Cubs was a 2 decision in the first game of a doubleheader yesterday. They were held to five hits by Clay Bryant, but came back to score a 0 shut out behind the two hit pitching of the veteran Luke Camilli's Hamlin. Dolph home run in the second inning was the only tally of that game. The Pirates nosed the Philadelphia Phillies 4 to hold their 14 game lead over the Giants. Lee Handley's triple that cleared the loaded bases in the ninth was the winning punch. The Giants kept pace by beating St. Louis 2 behind the five-hhurling of Carl were' Hubbell, Cincinnati-Bosto- n not scheduled.

Ileal Upset The real size of the upset is teen in the fact that Clark Auto lost to Safeway last Monday Stores, a team that had won only one game to that date, by a score of 15 to 7. The result is even more nf an upset when it is pointed out just how much the game meant The champs to Logan Laundry. needed that victory to stay in second place and well up in the race with Loganknit, their most bitter rivals. As a result the Launders dropped to third place, a haif game behind Morning Milk of W'ellsville, conquerors of Hyrum Lions, 9 to 8. The Clark Auto victory also enabled Loganknit to stretch its lead to a game and a half by virtue of a 3 victory over Valley Market. Two other games during the evening saw Heb's Pig Stand climb into a tie for sixth with a 1 victory over Grant's Bike, and Wellsville cnalk up its third win of the half with a record count of 39 runs against 10 for Safeway Stores.
