Fate’s Blow at Cincy and Addition of Pitchers May Aid Giants in Race

JVI’GRAW COUNTING ON NEW HURLERS 10 DELIVER GOODS Loss of Manager Moran Blow % to Reds' Chance for Pennant. ' BY HENRY L,. FARRELL United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, March 10.—Fate’s blow against the Cincinnati Reds in the death of Pat Moran and some good luck on their part in finding a couple of fine young pitchers have placed the New York Giants back in a dominating position in the National League. It is impossible to tell now what effect the loss of a great leader will have on the Reds, and it is just as uncertain what Dean, Mauen and Bradshaw will do when they have to pitch to fnemy batters. Moran's death may mean the loss of the pennant to the Reds. The success of their late manager was not due to any system of management, but to individual genius, and it will be impossible for any one to step right }into his shoes. May Work Differently

Tt might be that the death of Moran will get the Reds even stronger together and that they might be inspired by desperation to go out and play better than they might have under normal conditions. With the best pitching staff in the league, the Reds would have been picked as the favorite for the pennant by many critics if they had not lost ihelr leader. Perhaps the veteran pitchers will work just as well for another manager, but the young pitchers cannot because there is no other man in the game quite so skilled as Moran was in handling and developing pitchers. Three Good Ones When John McGraw took tui'nty pitchers to the training camp he said he ought to find at least one good one because he had bought nearly all the good ones in sight. Reports'from the training camp indicates that he has found three youngsters who will Be carried with the team —Wayland Dean, Ernie Mauen and Joe Bradshaw. Complete Results of H. S.

Catcher Krueger Shows Up; Fitzsimmons May Start Against Cincy, By EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor j PLANT CITY. Fla., March 10 > Ownie Bush's Indians rested on the'r I oars over Sunday.

Milwaukee at Toledo. long auto trip was planned and It was prevented by an all-day rain. It was a longer shower than the athletes from the North have been accustomed and ground in the Plant City territory was saturated. Manager Bush was ready to increase the pace of the practice grind today if the sun got back on the job. The Tribe's exhibition program opens Thursday when the Cincinnati Reds are due here for a battle and Bush is anxious to make a showing against the big leaguers. Wants Scrub Game He probably ■will start Fltssimmons on the mound against the Queen City aggregation. Bush desires to divide the squad and play a scrub game before meeting the Reds, hut the twirlers have been slow “coming around” and he has been reluctant about asking them to cut their curves loose. Baseball Commissioner Landis will not be here for the Cincinnati-Indian-apol:s game Thursday. He wired Vice President Smith Sunday he had canceled his Florida tour of the training camps. Krueger on Hand Catcher Ernie Krueger reached camp Sunday and was to don the togs today if weather permitted. He played winter baseball in Cuba and won’t need much practice to get in shape. Pitcher George Smith pleased Manager Bush with his actions in practice Saturday. Smith took a turn on the mound in batting practice and showed a deceptive delivery. He throws from his "i)ip pocket” and batters are sure of finding him troublesome, according to Bush. Throwing from the “hip pocket" means the pitcher has the ball hid den completely while in the act of delivery. All players are In camp now with the exception of Christenbury, Whelan, Petty and Dixon. New lowa Director Bp United Press lOWA CITY, Ta.. March 10.—Paul E. Belting, member of the University of Illinois physical department, has been elected director of University of lowa Athletics to succeed Howard Jones, resigned.

mN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT THE KAISER WARNED HE WOULD TAKE NO NONSENSE FROM AMERICA AFTER THE WAR. WE SEE WHERE ED WALSH IS ATTEMPTING A COME BACK. • • • One of the things that make spring football endurable is the fact that Mr. Camp doesn’t follow it up with an All-American team. * • • Pancho Villa says he will not defend lus title until summer, but fails to specify what summer? • • • Maybe this bird Vanderlip, with his gift of gossip, was the guy who first started the report that Eddie Collins was going to the Yanks. * * Until Mr. Sinclair indicates whether Fall or Daugherty will ride Zev in the next international race, we shall endeavor to curb our bet; ing inclinations.

Michigan City showed unexpectedly smooth team work and won out at Lafayette. Logansport and Frankfort displayed the best form at Lafayette, while Franklin and Bedford looked best at Bloomington. Anderson and Fhelbyville proved the class at Richmond. Rochester and Liberty Center appeared best at Ft. Wayne. The first game of the tournament Friday morning at 9 o'clock will find Frankfort and Franklin in a contest that appears right now to be a tossup. Franklin has come strong at the end of the season, and has a great defense as exhibited in the regional.

BUSH LEAGUER OF OLD TYPE IS RARE BIRD NOW Pegler Discovers Wild Specimens Scarce in Florida Training Camps—Jack Hendricks Says His Say, By WESTBROOK PEGLER United News Staff Correspondent LAKELAND, Fla., March 10.—Florida is a roomy State affording many natural hiding places for the bush leaguer who eats apple pie off his knife and learns to drink his coffee from the saucer so the handle of the spoon won’t put out his eye.

He may be sloshing around Tampa, St. Petersburg or Winter Haven, where Johnny Evers has been flapping the most outstanding chin in the United States at the early crew of the White Sox. Reds Disappointment Clearwater, also, will be a good place to search for the bush leaguer In his natural state, unmarred by fine manners, because the Brooklyn Dodgers, who are training there, always go a little deeper into the bush for their recruits, and consequently catch them a little wilder.

Pegler Looks ’Em Over Westbrook Pegler, noted writer and humorist of the United News Service, is in the, Southland making a round of the baseball training ramps. His articles will appear from time to time on the Sports page of The Times.

But the Cincinnati Reds have been a disappointment and the Cleveland Indians here at Lakeland had nothing very wild to exhibit. Jack Hendricks, temporary manager of the Reds, said he believed the perfect busher was extinct, but everybody agreed that if there were any in the major leagues this year, Uncle Charley or Connie Mack, whose Philadelphia Athletics are training over in Alabama, would be likeliest to have them. They have been rival collectors for years, sometimes sending their agents to hamlets far removed from any railroad. The greatest prize, of course, is the shoeless busher and the sight of one limping over the pavements of a city learning to wear shoes is very distressing to true lovers of wild life. Naturalists have been demanding a, national law to protect bushers, claiming that many of them have been injured through the carelessness of hotel waiters in serving them spoons with the cofTee. Perfect Ones Scarce “I am in favor of such a law,” Mr. Hendricks said. “I view with alarm the extinction of the natural busher. I haven't seen a perfect one for years. Nowadays the recruits come into camp wearing white collars and followed by wardrobe trunks and the first thing you know, you're standing in the hotel some night wondering if your recruits have plenty of chewing tobacco and one of them will sail by you in a dress suit on his way to the country club with the daughter of a judge or somebody. "We once had a busher on the Indianapolis club who broke a leg trying to get Inside the pillow bolster on the bed, thinking it was some kind of a sleeping sack. Now’ they ring for the vaiet to come and turn down the covers ” Young Mr. Gene Staley of Seattle is one of the new type of busher. The Cincinnati club bought him two years ago, but he xefused to report to camp that year. Garry Herrmann, owner of the team, absent-mindedly swallowed a whole liverwurst and nearly choked when Staley’s telegram was read to him saying: “I shall not report this year, as I am not yet capable of winning a place on your team."
