NEW YORK. Jan. 5-—The Na- tional League cornpromiscd today with the American League on standardization of the baseball- like s. husband who wants to go to the mountains compromises with his wife who wants to go to thc seashore.

The National League accepted the speedier American League ball in toto.

While the specifications decided upon are those cl the ball used in the American beaguelsst season, the final "happy ending" of a prob- lem that has plagued Major League baseball for many years was a pert triumph for the National League.

While the American League manufacturer. Tom Shibe, continu- ed to build a sphere to suit slug- Itrs of the Babe Ruth. Jimmie Foxx, and A1 Simmons type. slow- er than the "menace" ball but still fast. the National League thicken- ed its cover, loosened the winding. and added slightly to the stitching so that pitchers got. s. better grip.

The new standard ball, therefore. is actually a sort of medium be- tween the Jackrabbit oi the Am- erican League at its fastest and the reaction ball oi the National League at its slowest, The p511 l; nine to 9 l-8 inches in circumfer- ence and should weigh five to 5 1-2
