Playing

the Field With Billy Evans

j _ USING his head, coupled with J I remarkable natural ability, 1 - I made Ray Schalk the greatest catcher of modern times. Now, as manager of the Chicago White Sox, Schalk apparently intends to use that same head just as extensively in furthering the success of his team. I have reference to the trade he recently made, which brought the veteran Roger Peckinpaugh to the Sox. Schalk is nothing if not smart. Realizing the departure of so great

a star as Eddie Collins left a big hole in the infield, he set about to remedy the fault. Roger Peckippaugh, to play shortstop was the answer. “It suits me fine,” said Peckinpaugh when I asked him what ho thought of the trade that sent him from Washington to Chicago.

“I’m far from being through. I am glad Ray Schalk has the same opinion. I intend to lhorg than justify Uhe confidence he has in me. “The old legs may not be as strong as they weVe ten years ago, but they’re still good enough to cover the ground between third and second for at least two years more.’’ WILL HELP INFIELD r - "TO my way of thinking, ChiI I cago made a. most advan--1 | tageous trade, one that will supply a much needed want through the addition of a veteran star- Not only will Peck’s presence serve to strengthen thednficld, but it is bound to react to the good of Bill Hunnefield, one of the most promising youngsters to break into the majors in years. Last season Humicfield played slier!. second and third and did mighty well In each position. He likes second base best, and with Collins gone and Peckinpaugh slated foe shortstop, the stage is all set for him to play that base. Hunnefield, with Peckinpaugh at to coach him, is bound to be a much improved ball player. He has the ability and the confidence. All he needs is polish and Peck will help him acquire It. PECK'S FOURTH CLUB 2TL") HEN Peck joinsf Chicago he VY/ will be playing with his fourth American League club. 1-Ie started with Cleveland in 1912, was sent to New YOrk the following year, then traded to Boston, but immediately was turned over to Washington and now goes to Chicago. He has been playing in the majors fifteen years. In 1925 Peckinpaugh was voted the most valuable player ill the American League, a signal honor to a veteran performer. A remarkable. fielder and a dangerous batsman. Peek possesses a punch at tiie bat and in the field. During the past twenty years the American League may have had as dependable a shortstop as Pock, but certainly none more valuable.

SENATOR OUTLOOK IS FAIR Columbus Sees Improved Team Under New Owners and Manager. Bu United Press COLUMBUS. Ohio, Feb. 10.—The Columbus Senators will be the American Association at Hie opening of spring training next month. With the perennial tailenders under the ownership of the Cincinnati Reds and anew manager and a flock of now ball tossers, there is little in advance of the season on which to figure the Senators. On Player Hunt Ivy Wingo, who took over the management of the club when Garry Herrmann purchased the Columbus plant, has started out looking for players to fill the stack of uniforms on hand. Three additions already been made. Johnny Rawlings, formerly with Pittsburgh and other major teams, is certain to strengthen the Buck’s infield materially. He will play second base. Then to balance the outfield Wingo brought with hint from Cincinnati. Hal Sullivan of the Reds. Stripp at Third Joe Stripp, a third baseman, from advance information, will fit into the line-up from the first day in training. The Senators last seasdn generally were conceded to have a little better than the average in the pitching department, if the hurlers had received anything approaching field support. The Cincinnati ownership is willing to spend some money to make a winning ball club and prospects for the Senators are brighter than they have been for many years. I

BAMBINO* FEELING SLIGHTED Ruth ‘Threatens’ to Quit if Yanks Don't Boost His Salary. i /ft/ United Pres* HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Feb, 10.— Baseball may have to get along without its “Sultan of Swat,” in the 6uire, Babe Ruth declared today. The famous home run king said he would return, unsigned, the contract he has received from the New York Yankees, and that he might “quit baseball altogether” unless the club offers more liberal terms. The contract sent him called for $52,000 this year, the same amount he received last season, Ruth, who is in Hollywood working on a moving picture, said. “I think the New York club used exceedingly poor judgment in offering me the identical sum that I received for last season,” the Babe declared, “and I have no intention of signing on such a basis. “I don't care to mention how much I expect to get for my services, but if the Y'ankee management refuses to tneet ny terms I may geS out of baseball altogether, “I don’t know what I will do if I quit baseball, but I'm not going to worry about that until I see what the Y'ankee management does.” KNUTE PLANS NEW PLAY Notre Dame .Mentor Works on “Surprise” Mode of Attack.
