DUBUC WILL BE BIG WINNER

Ed Spencer, Tiger Backstop, Predicts Jean’s Slow Ball Will Puzzle Pacific Coasters. Ed Spencer, who has had plenty of experience in the minor leagu.es and especially in the Pacific Coast circuit, says Jean Dubuc will be a big winner for the Salt Lake dub this season. “Dubuc’s slow ball will fool those Pacific Coast leaguers,” declares the Tiger backstop. “The air is so rare in Salt Lake City that it is almost impos-

sible to get a curve on the ball. The pitchers simply buzz them through, trusting to throw them by tho batters. “Dubuc will be a different turler. A slow ball, such as his, is unknown on the coast and it will float past the batters. He will do a lot of I wouldn't be surprised to see him bat above the JOO mark.”
