RED CLARKE, one of the greatest outfielders of all time, j made a tour of the major league baseball c-amoe this spring in i the interest of a firm manufacturing baseball paraphernalia. Oiarke, who has b&n actively out | of baseball for some years, was im- i pressed by three things—a lack of good pitchers, a. scarcity of good j throwing outftelders,and the scant attention paid to base running. • • ♦ According to Clarke, “of all the camps he visited. Manager Miller Huggins of the New York Yankees was -the only one w-ho seemed satisfied with his pitching. • • • Hi ---I FPARENTLY during the Al past five or six years the de- . ■ velopment of worthwhile pitchers has not been in keeping with the rest of the game.” says Clarke. "I saw only a limited number of pitchers who had established themselves within the last half dozen years. “The pitching staffs are largely made up of fading veterans, stars in their day who have passed their peak, anS promising recruits.” • • * There is no denying the correctness of Fred Clarke’s sizeup of the pitching situation. Most of the managers frankly admit a weakness in this department of the game. * * * 4<f j | N the old days, the outfleldI ers in spring training paid 1— l almost as much attention to their arms as did the pitchers. They constantly strove for accuracy in their throwing. "In only a few of the camps did I see the outfielders do any practice throwing to speak of. “Base running also seemed to be overlooked as an important feature

be developed info a capable fly chaser. Allen’s strong point is the fact he can bat from either side of the plate. With Bush's decision to carry four outfielders, It may become necessary to use Tom Whelan as coach in order to avoid trouble wlwn the player limit rule goes into effect the middle of May. Bush is fairly well satisfied with his squad, but he is still desirous of obtaining another pitcher of mainstay qualities. Guy Morton is the hurler he wants, but he Is beginning to lose hope of getting him. The Tribe pilot also let it be known today he may be forced to scout for another infielder later on. Break Camp Tuesday The Indians are now in their sixth week of spring training. Tuesday night they will break camp here and arrive in Indianapolis shortly before noon Thursday. Christenbury was granted a leave of absence Saturday and he will rejoin the squad at Indianapolis. Krueger and Allen will go to Indianapolis direct from Deland, Fla-, their home city. All other members of the Tribe party will make the trip North in a private car attached to the Swanee River Special. The Indians were to take their usual workout today and on Tuesday they will go through the paces once more before the journey home begins. Colonels’ Plan Owner Smith tbday received a letter from President Hickey advising him the Louisville club has suggested the player limit be boosted, but with restrictions. The Colonels want permission to carry two extra men above eighteen with the proviso that one be a player without previous professional experience and the other a player who has not seen service above class D. Smith and Bush have a few questions to ask Hickey before announcing the Indianapolis vote on the measurs.

Warming Up With the Tribe By EDDIE ASIi

LANT CITY, Fla., April 7. When the New York Giants L- m -at the Chicago White S<>x In Indianapolis, April 11, liwiianapolts fans will see the Giants as they lincl up against the Indians in two battles staged In Florida this spring. The Hoosiers defeated the Giants in Plant City and lost to the McGraw outfit at Sarasota. Billy Southworth is leading off in the batting order for the Giants tjiis spring. He plays centerfleld and bats left-handed. McGraw obtained Southworth In a trade. The New York boss believes Southworth will make him an ideal lead-off hitter. In Young, the right field veteran. Indianapolis fans will see one of the most graceful batters in baseball. Bill Terry may be used in part o' the game at first base when the Giants tangle with the Sox in Tnui.inapolis. He managed the Toledo club last season and McGraw says Terry is the nearest man to Babe Ruth when It comes to getting distance in drives. Indianapolis fans probably are familiar with the records and skill of the other regulars McGraw probably will use against the Box. He has a new outfielder on his roster whom he likes. The new man is Wilson, bought from the Portsmouth (Virginia League) club. Wilson Is built like a fire plug and batted .388 last year. Travis Jackson is holding down the shortfleld berth, but there seems to be a difference of opinion among big league experts over Jackson’s ability to fill the shoes of Dave Bancroft. Owner Smith of the Indians wades right lr. when the fish is ready. On a recent trip to a nearby stream the Tribe players made a bumpei catch. A fire was built and Oudelder Allen and Jerry Gates, Plant City Sportsman, acted as cooks. -The supply was plentiful and Owner Smith did not stop eating until he had charged into the finny heap for the eighth time. Fred Fitzsimmons committed the costliest misplay in connection with Tribe fishing Jaunts'this spring. He

INFIELD WEAKNESS MAY CAUSE TROUBLE FOR COBB Second and Shortstop Positions Uncertain on Tiger Squad —Stoner and Whitehill Are Mound Possibilities, By HENRY L. FARRELL - United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April 7.—With a good second baseman the De- | troit Tigers would come very close to winning the American : League pennant, Ty Cobb said last winter. Cobb failed to swing a deal for Jimmy Dykes, the young Athletic, and Connie Mack beat him to Max Bishop, the Baltimore star, by exactly six steps. Unless he puts over something in a few weeks Cobb will have

to rely on Del Pratt again to field what he considers his greatest weakness. Pratt is not a youngster, although he is still a fair player. He has been playing brilliantly this spring, but it is not likely that he can continue the pace all season. Rigney Not in Shape The Tigers got a very bad break when Rigney, one of the coming young shortstops, reported at the training camp with a very bad hip. It was reported recently that ho would not be able to play In the early season games. If Rigney can not play, Cobb will have to call upon Haney as a substitute and he will be in two holes Instead of one. Blue is a good first baseman and Bobby Jones is a good third baseman, but a good infield has to have something more in the middle than the Tigers have. It is an old piece of baseball wisdom that a good club has to be strong through the center. The Tigers will have a fine outfield as the team seems to run to fine outfields. Detroit has always had one or two star gardeners and In Cobb, Heilmann and Manusch they have three really great players. Stoner and Whitehill The pitching staff is a doubtful factor, but it has potential strength. Stoner and Whitehill, two youngsters, are being looked upon by Cobb as sure winners. Whitehill made a brilliant debut last season when he practically pitched the club into second place In the American league pennant race. Johnson, Pillette. Dauss and Collins will he the regular workers of the staff and if Johnson and Pillette work Into the form expected of them they will win a lot of games. The Tigers have plenty of punch and fair enough pitching prospects, but they have an Infield weakness that may be worse than it was last year.
