Majors To Use Livelier Ball In Next Season
The major leagues plan a livelier ball to offset star departures for military service. Browns VP William O. Dewitt said a sample with cork and synthetic rubber center and lighter stitched cover proved more durable and was used in World Series games in St Louis. Cardinals officials recalled a special consignment marked for World Series use, showing pitchers can suppress hitters regardless of ball type. Bill Dickey hit the only homer in the World Series at Sportsman's Park, delivering a 2–0 win for Spurgeon Chandler over Morton Cooper.
