St. Louis Browns Must Bolster Up Their Third Comer for 1923 Pennant Race

RUMOR IS II FOHL IS AFTER CHARLEY DHL Los Angeles Coast League Star Has Had Major Experience —Record Is First Class. By NEA Service ST. LOUIS. Mo.. Jan. 12.—Third base must be fortified if the St. Louis Browns are to be a pennant contender in 1923. Bobby Quinn, who runs the Browns for Phil Ball, and Lee Fohl, who does the managing, are well aware of that fact. Frank Ellerbe filled the position very acceptably last season until forced to retire because of afl injury to his knee. It later developed that Ellerbe's trouble was merely a return of an injury suffered playing football during his college days. For three months Ellerbe nursed the knee back into condition, but in all probability it will slow him up considerably. The heads of the Browns are working on that assumption in feeling that third base is the one position on the team that is not up to snuff. The veteran Eddie Foster, who filled in so brilliantly, says there isn’t a chance that he will try to play the bag. Foster insists hi 6 legs simply •will not stand up under the strain. Rumor has it that the Browns are dickering with the Los Angeles team of the Pacific Coast League for Charley Deal. Last season Deal had a better fielding average in the Coast League than Willie Kamm, for whom Chicago is reported to have paid 3100.000. Deal has had major league experience in both the American and National Leagues, and would be a valuable man for the Browns to have around.

the longest hit In the world to the team at bat. However, there is a bit more of the glamour to the home-run wallop that ties or wins the game. In my twenty years of baseball, I have seen any number of timely) home-run drives. I have seen games won in the ninth with the sacks filed and four runs needed to win, when some slugger drove the ball over the fence. I have seen extra-inning games, some of them slugfests, others pitchers’ battles, decided by a homerun drive. To my way of thinking, there never was a timelier home run than that delivered by Frank Baker in the third .game of the 1911 world series. New York had won the first game of the series, 2 to 1, despite the fact that Chief Bender struck out eleven men and allowed only five hits. The Athletics evened up the count by taking the second game, 3 to I. A home run by Baker in the sixth inning, scoring Collins ahead of him, decided that game. Marquard was pitching for New York. He pitched low and Inside to

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

N BASEBALL there is nothing more precious than a timely hit when a couple of runs are needed to win and the bases are loaded. At such times a single looks like

Baker on the ball he hit over the fence. Such pitching to Baker is usually accompanied by fatal results. During the series, Marquard and Mathewson, star pitchers of the Giants, were also writing daily accounts of the game for the newspapers, Possibly the players never saw what was written. •* The day following the second game Mathewson, In his story of the defeat, took Marquard to task for pitching in Baker’s “groove”—low and inside. The article caused much comment. Mathewson, who pitched the first game for the Giants and won, was McGraw’s pitching selection for the third game. Going into the ninth inning he enjoyed a 1 to 0 lead. Collins, the first man up, was retired and things looked mighty rosy for a Giant victory. Then the unexepected happened. With Baker up and the count two balls and a strike, Mathewson was unfortunate enough to get a slow ball. Inside and low. Baker hit the ball Into the rightfield stands at the Polo Grounds for a home run and the score was tied. The Athletics won out in the elenventh, 3 to 2. That one pitch was the break of the series, the Athletics winning four games to two. NEXT: The Greatest Pinch Hitting I Ever Saw.

BILL BRENNAN AND JOHNSON SQUARE All Fighting Fireman Has Edge, but Late Addition to Heavyweight Class Is Tough. By HENRY L. FARRELL • United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 12. —Experience, that grand old thing which does more than fists in the ring sometimes, is expected to pull the Chicago war horse, Bill Brennan, intact out of the pit tonight with Floyd Johnson, the vaunted wonder from lowa. With the knowledge that he has picked up in a long run down through the resin dust, and with a jaw that has been able to take the kick of a mule in the past, the worst the friends of Brennan think can happen is the lose of the decision. Brennan isn’t the best fighter in the world and he never was, but his courage never was questioned and his endurance has frequently been attested j to. Twice he has met the great Demp- j sy. The first time Dempsey hit him I on the jaw and broke his ankle, and j Bill had to retire. On the second oc-! casion Brennan stayed twelve rounds! with the champion and thereby made | a world’s record that no one else has approached. Bill Has Slipped Brennan can’t be as good tonight as h® was two years ago when Dempsey came into the ring badly trained and In terrible condition. Bill is some i older than he was that night and Bill! doesn’t like to train himself. He has J been In the ring only once or twice since and he wouldn’t be working now if the boxing commission hadn’t told him he could never get another loser's end with Dempsey. Johnson isn't a great heavyweight. He may be some day but he is being rushed forward with terrific speed and if ho succeeds he will be one of the few who reached the top without taking it by degrees. He is a fast young fellow, he can box a little and he has a good left band. He puts the entire weight of his body behind it getting almost its much good out of it as a regular southpaw. Sitting at the ringside with Tex Rickard tonight will be Jim Corbett, .Jess Willard and Tom Gibbons. Rick- | ard is going to introduce Jess and | Tom as the next opponents for Dempsey. *

There is one lad in Indianapolis who is studying up on Dixieland geography. He’s going to take a trip there in two months and he’s going in league style. Needless to say this chap is going to be the envy of all the kids in the Hoosier capital. He is Arthur Quiesser, 16, catcher, and he is going with the Indians on their spring trip to Bogalusa, La. Arthur is the son of Oscar Quiesser, secretary to Police Chief Rikhoff and an old ball player himself. Arthur caught for the Indianapolis Maroons last summer and worked out many times with the Indians.
