Arguments to Be Settled Soon as Franklin and DePauw Fives Clash Friday

YANKEES WOULD LIKE 10 OBTAIN FALK FROM SOX j• ' Huggins Strong for Chicago Outfielder —Chance May Hold Onto Him, By NEA Service CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Bib Falk, White Sox outfielder, may figure in a deal that will take him to the New York Yankees. Huggins named Falk as one of the players he desired, when a trade between the Sox and Yanks was the big topic in baseball a year back. The Yankee leader is still strong for Falk, believing he has great possibilities. Despite great natural ability, Falk has failed to come up to expectations as a White Sox. Rumor has it he has been dissatisfied with his berth. Falk came to the White Sox as a pitcher, direct from a southern college. Because of his ability to hit, he was converted into an outfielder. While Huggins has plenty of outfield material, he would be more than willing to take over Falk. In return, however, he hasn’t much to offer but and the Sox are looking for P™Chesbro With Washington Bn Times Special NEW YORK, Feb. 7. —According to reports in local baseball circles today, Jack Chesbro, former big league pitching star and baseball coach at Harvard University, has reached terms with Clark Griffith' and will coach the Washington twirlers this year.

4[' r lL l ’ I HERE are too many throwers and not enough pitchers.’’ That is I the way Frank Chance, who will manage the Chicago White Sox 1 * I this year, summed up the swat situation that has run rampant in the major leagues for several years. One afternoon last summer we had been discussing a tough game the Red Sox had lost the day previous, largely due to the fact the Boston pitcher had played right into the hands of a pinch hitter on the opposing team. Known as a batter who likes a fast ball, letter high, the pitcher proceeded to deliver Just such a balL The pinch hitter broke up the game. • • • • “In the old days every pitcher put considerable thought bark of each hall. He tried to work on the batter from every angle. The lively ball seems to have destroyed the pitcher’s sense of proportion,” continued Chance. ,•• • • PAVING gone through the various stages that played a part in the career of Chance, 1 was able to appreciate his size-up of the pitching situation. I can well remember when every • major league club boasted four pitchers of almost equal ability. Most of the clubs had four second-string pitchers who were almost as effective. In those days there were no soft spots. The batters were compelled to look at good pitching day after day. It’s different now. Perhaps the New York Yankees is the only major league club that can present a pitching staff that compares with those of the old days. Teams opposing the Yanks have their work cut out. Good pitching explains why the Yanks have won three pennants, finally topping it off with a world series. • • • * The “Old Master” was the name conferred on Chrtety Mat hews on because of his crafty pitching ability. He knew every trick of the game. Os the modern day twirlers few work with better judgment than Urban Shocker off the Browns. • * • • | LD-TIME players will tell you that Christy Mathewson wasn’t hard I to hit with the bases empty, but with the bases loaded he was usually’ invincible. Shocker is much the same type pitcher. He works easily, always has something In reserve. With nothing at stake he often takes a chance on some good hitter and pitches right into his “groove.” just where he likes them. In the old pinch, however, the same batsman is worked on most carefully Shocker adjusts his pitching to the existing situation. * • * One of the best bits of pitcliing I evw have seen was put on display by Shocker In a game against the Yanks. He struck Ruth out four times out of five times up. Each meeting was a battle between a great slugger and master pitcher, with Shocker having the edge that particular day. , “Ruth has made me suffer for those four strikeouts,” say* Shocker.

Maiden’s Theory on Pitch Shots By JOE WILLIAMS KEA Service Staff Writer

A""l I,L great golfers are not great teachers. Stewart Malden does not rank with the Vardons of his day as a player, but as a teacher he comes close to being without peer. The diminutive At-

lanta professional developed, among others. Hobby Jones, present open champion, and Alexa Stirling, who shares with Beatrice Hoyt the honor of being the only woman to win the national title three times. Maiden has no radical notions about the elusive science of guts. He teaches the game in much the same manner as it was taught to him years ago in Scotland, cradle { of the

ancient putt and drive game. Malden does maintain, however that every player can not swing a golf slick exactly the same, due to physical differences. Perhaps one of the reasons why Malden has been such a marked success as an instructor is that he builds the game around the individual rather than the Individual around the game. Both Jones and Miss Stirling are skilled iron players. When you see them play a full pitch to the green you see the handiwork of Malden. The full pitch from a distance of say, 90 to 130

BYRON, SINGING UMPIRE, TO RETURN FROM COAST Unique Figure Among Baseball Officials is Slated for Job . In international League, Bill Byron, one of the few unique figures among umpires, is to return East. For a number of years Byron has been umpiring in the Pacific Coast League, going to that organization when he retired from the National. He has signed a contract to work in the International.

Byron Is known as the “Singing Ump.” When the athletes rave he hums little ditties to the players. The words are of his own making and usually suit the occasion. When in the National League Lord Byron and John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, engaged in many a wordy tilt. Once they came to blows. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to who really won the decision. Byron is nothing if not original He always liked to Jest with MtGraw. Prior to the start of every game the umpires and managere agree on ground rules. In a game at the Polo Grounds, just as Byron was ready to start the game, after holding the usual conference, an airplane flew low over the field. Turning to McGraw, who had almost reached the bench after the conference at the plate, Byron shouted: “Two bases on any batted ball that hits the plane, John.” Ground rules have always been a part of the game, but Byron was the first umpire to ever make air rules.

yards is one of the trickiest shots in golf. It can be a valuable stroke saver or a wanton stroke waster, depending upon the result. Let Maiden tell you how he plays the shot. "The

MAIDEN

played In the manner thus described, will stop with astonishing abruptness once It lands on the green. This Is the natural result of playing a shot with the weight in a somewhat forward position. “The ball and the clubhead meet while the stroke is moving downward as well ns forward. This produces a shot of comparatively low flight and more than ordinary backspin. The shot should he played boldly and it will do no harm to take a thin layer of turf with It.”

Soon all doubt must end. All arguments, no matter how convincing, must give way before the actual result after the final gun cracks in the big De Pauw gym Friday night. Everybody There Everybody that can get in will be on hand to see the struggle. And to the early basketball bird belongs the perch. Others not so thoughtful must stand up and still others —those real unlucky ones who can’t get in, will hear only the cheering and the whistle, or maybe read about it next day. Standing room will he sold at the game after the seat holders are taken care of. It's going to be some party. There has been a. feeling right along that if Franklin is going to get defeated this year it would be by De Pauw on the Methodists’ home floor. IF Franklin is going to lose—that IF is a small word and in many fans’ minds that is De Pauw's chance. It's just a chance, that's all. Franklin in Form Franklin is going at top form right now, i, seems. If they are playing In the style of which they are capable; if, in other words, they are "on,” De Pauw at its best cannot boat them—neither could any other team. And the Baptists are very liable to be at the peak Friday night. That gang has a faculty of delivering in the pinch. There is no doubt but that the main spring of the team is Fuzzy Vandivler. So many things have been written and said of that player it seems useless to discuss him further. But It will not hurt any one. least of all Fuzzy, to state again that he is an artist, a genius at basketball — just as much so as a great painter, a great author or any one else who carries a certain line of endeavor to the very heights. Same Old Gang The whole team Is too well known to discuss its personnel here. The same old gang will be In there. Ballard and B. Friddle will alternate at flror guard. De Pauw's fine team will line up with Laughlin and White, forwards; Johnson or Wilis, center: Irvin and Hirt, guards. It Is a powerful resourceful quintette with every thing a five needs. If it were not going up against a ream ,that so far has proved unbeatable the Tigers would be the favorites. As it is De Pauw goes Into the game the under-dog It may give them the very fight and punch to do that which has never been acompllshed—the defeat of the present Franklin College five. But the fans are saying that they won’t. There you are.

Game of Shifting Theories By NEA Service PHILADELPHIA, Feh. 7.—Golf is a game of changing thoughts and shifting theories. Once you were supposed to put all the power into a shot with your left hand. Today it is the right which provides the main force. They used to tell you the club head preceded the hands by a matter of inches in driving from the tee. Slow motion pictures show that the hands actually precede the club head. In days gone by the run-up approach was considered the only practical way to get close to the pin. Then came the bunkers and multitudinous traps. Now if you can’t play a high pitch approach to the green you are all out of luck. . What nextt i

BONEHEAD THROW BY ELSCH SLOWS HIS MAJOR START Bad Play Seems to Have Taken Heart Out of Sox Outfielder, By XEA Service CHICAGO, Feb. 7.—Often some minor incident shapes the career of a major league player, either starting him on the road to success or failure. At the opening of last season the Chicago White Sox banked strongly on Outfielder Elsch to come through. He had been a star in the Western League, a speed merchant who could hit and field. Gets Good Start Elsch was banked on as a regular and Immediately got his chance in left field. He started out in good style and was winning high favor with the bleacherites in his section when something happened. * In a very close game, with the Sox leading by a narrow margin, Elsch caught a fly ball for the second out in the first half of the ninth Inning. Having lost track of the outs, and believing that his catch had retired the side, ending the game, Elsch turns and threw the ball into the bleachers. Only Ope Leaving Elsch then started for the clubhouse, but stopped when he realized he was the only player going in that direction. Fortunately no visiting players were on the bases at the time, as a result no damage was done through tho “boot,” otherwise the play would have gone down in baseball history with other famous “ivory stunts.” That one slip caused Manager Gleason to lose faith in Elsch, likewise it seemed to destroy the recruit’s confidence. He was later taken out of the line-up and never regained his place as a regular.
