Spalding and Brothers, the manufacturer, admitted today that the baseballs sent out for the opening of the sear.on did not measure up to standard.

Better Ball Promised But, in a prepared statement issued from the office of President Ford Frick of the national league, Coleman said that the fault had been discovered and that the batters would have a better ball at which to swing in about two weeks. Coleman explained as follows: "In the manufacture of baseballs a layer of rubber cement is applied between layers of wool. Under war conditions this cement is made from re processed rubber. The cement used on the baseballs turned out by the factory in recent shipments has proved of inferior quality. Instead of providing resilience the cement hardened to a point where the wool was affected.

This deadened the ball." To correct the fault, Coleman said a new type of cement has been tested and accepted. "Balls using this new cement Mr. Burke, who in 1933 was rc nuloH In ho Iho oldest mayor in the i tally was scored the i APWaMfr.Wwiy '-ytfy-A'A. H'. ''ff'A.

He said the committee will hear testimony next Tuesday from Chairman Donald M. Nelson of the war production board and Secretary Ickes, who is petroleum administrator for war. Chairman Gillette (D-Iowa) of a senate agriculture subcommittee said the clash ought to result in a resignation, or resignations. Gillette said that if charges made by Patterson and echoed by Ickes are true in substantial part, then Jeffers "ought to resign from his office or be forced to do so." "If they cannot be substantiated in principal part," he said in a statement, "those responsible for making the allegations should be ready to offer their resignations."

Baruch said "My only pals are the men who are doing the fighting and the dying." If he did make a restudy, he said. it would be "both fair and ruthless." He pointed out that the Baruch report itself suggested that the rubber schedule should be reopened from time to time in the light of changing conditions.
