KEAoecvce E)LLL J" ILtATIO NO. 7-MOST UNUSUAL DEBUT I EVER SAW

fHK debut of any recruit pitcher in the majors is the big event of his baseball I have seen a number of recruits come and go. Often the debut of certain recruit pitchers marks their finish. Some meet with remarkable success, others have only ordinary lurk, and for a great many It is a calamity. The most unusual debut I ever saw a recruit pitcher make in the majors was put on by Kay Keating, who for a number of years was a valuable member of the New York 1 ankees’ pitching staff. Keating was a spit-ball pitcher, and he had ° varied assortment of moist deceivers. The umpire who called balls and strikes with Keating doing the pitching always had a busy day. The first time 1 ever saw Keating 'was in a game a! St. Louis. The Browns were leading by a lop-sided score. A Yankee pinch hitter was sent In to bat in the eighth inning for the pitcher, and Keating was delegated to work the last half of the inning. Gossip had been going the rounds that Keating had a choice lot of foolers, but lacked control. Before the inning was over I was positive that gossip was correct for once. Keating walked the first man to face him. the count being three balls and two strjkcs when the final pitch went wild. The next batter struck

FRANKLIN COLLEGE TURNS TUCK OKI BUTLER QUINTET Old High School Champs Have Retained Plenty of Their Basket-Ball Knowledge. By VEDDER CARD Those youngsters representing Franklin College proved themselves old in the wisdom of the basket-ball court Friday night at Tomlinson Hall against Butler and won out, 26 to 22, in a fine exhibition of the net sport. It was basket-ball played to its highest degree of skill by two different types of teams that were (evenly matched. The huge crowd saw a typical college contest of Hoosier hardwood ;y fists—the kind of a battle that Indiana fans believe is played nowhere else in the world. Franklin plays at Do Pauw tonight and meets Wabash at Crawfordsville on Tuesday. It is a terrific schedule. Butler takes on Notre Dame at Tomlinson Hall Monday and Earlham at Irvington on Tuesday. Four of last year’s Franklin High School champs were in the visiting line-up Friday, along with Griz Wagi er, the former prep coach, and all of them showed they had lost none of their cunning. Franklin College will win a number of games, not because the players . are any better basket shots, but because their superb footwork, which is really partly headwork, gets them shots that anybody could drop into the net. It is a short passing game.

Friddle at center counted most nf the points with five from the field, but he just happened to he the man there at the right time. The great ! work of the other members helped j to get him the ball. Vandiver showed ! Ins own version of the dribble. He dribbles like Bo MeMillin runs in the open field—with a change of pace and j a deceptive feint and pivot. Little j Ballard, thin, and not looking more j than 16 years old. fought like a tiger j throughout the contest. Burl Frid j die at back guard was a stone wall i ur.tii he went out on fouls. Hooker was the Butler star and j got more shot-- than all the rest of the five put together. ll*' was not • “on.” however, and the ball rolled around the hoop and would not drop j in. He got four from the field. Griggs | to.-sed in eight free throws out of, twelve. The summary of the game j snows that Franklin got three more ; field goals than Butler. Wally Mid dkswoi th play> and a tine defensive I game, lie is better than ever this! season, as he is not fouling so much, j Boh Nipper played well while he was j in, hut hung on too much and went j out because of fouls.
