Mize Blames New
Ball for Hitting Slump
ST. LOUIS (UP) Take it
fiom Johnny Mize, slugging first-
baseman of the St. Louis Car-
dinals. that It wasn't excess
weight that kept him from hitting
his hatting stride until late last
I season—It was the change in the |
National League ball.
Mize, who gave Ernie Lombardi
of the Cincinnati Rede a close bat-
tle for the league's batting crown
despite his late start, has gone
into training at a local gym to
rid hifhself .of excess weight.
The big first-baseman works
out daily with his teammate. Out-
fielder Terry Moore. Mize said he
hopes to make 1939 his best year
in the majors.
"It wasn't the oxtra weight I
carried last spring that made me
slump so badly." Mize said. "I
believe it was thA change in the
ball that helped the pitchers more
than most people believed.
"During the 1937 season 1 bat-
ted the same way all year,” he
explained. "That is. I stood far
back from the plate and hit ’em
where they pitched ’em. I got base
hits all around the field. I tried
the same system last spring,
though, but it didn't work.”
Mize said due to the change
made in the National League ball
the pitchers had more stuff on the
ball
"I had trouble hitting pitchers
who were duck soup in 1937," he
sayi. Finally, when I was out of
the game for a few days, I de-
cided to change my stance.
"Almost every time at bat I'd
shift in the box and try to figure
what I'd throw if I were doing the
pitching. I found this effective. As
soon as T started shifting around
and making it. a little tough on
the pitchers, my batting average
picked up.”
