Playing the Field P With Billy Evan; ; aN considering the pennant chances of a major league ball club, regardless of its strength at the bat, in thp field or on the bases, one invariably gets back to the pitching yitaff as the big question mark. During my tour of the big league training camps, 1 didn’t find a single

manager who was willing to stand pat on his twirling corps. True, some of the pilots were better satisfied than others, but not ono would have turned down the addition of either a star southpaw, right-hander or both. Jack MeCallister of the Cleveland

Indians wasn't worrying about his pitching, yet he was hopeful lludlin would come up to expectations. He is the husky right-hander who showed so much promise late last fall. Connie Mack enthused ov'or his pitching but added there is always room for another good hurler on any staff. * WASHINGTON’S ST AT l S 1 | IVE the Washington Club high class pitching and it will i___ be one of the strongest clubs in the majors. In all other respects yt is a great aggregation. ™ The Washington pitching staff is made up of a rather unusual combination, fading veterans and rising yokngsters. The injury to Walter Johnson was a terrific handicap. It temporarily put out of commission a dependable veteran. If the old-timers hold up and the youngsters come through, by that I mean, say two of the many rookie pitchers Manager Harris has under contract, Washington will bo mighty troublesome. Getting such a break is asking considerable, A similar condition exists in the ranks of the New York Giants. It's a mighty pert ball club that may want for consistent pitching.

mills is my seventeenth season in the National League and I have often been asked how much longer I expect to remain. My future is uncertain, just like it is with all pitchers.

I have passed my 40th birthday. Judging by the way I feel today, I expect to be pitching big league, baseball for at least five moreyears. I believe I will, barring accident. But pitching arms are not guaranteed- against injury. I have been very fortunate in this re-

This was several years ago while with the Cubs. 1 had pitched a tough game in Cinclnnait on a hot day and we caught an early train for Pittsburgh. While sleeping I knocked the covers off my arm and going through the mountains a stiff breeze blew through the berth. I woke up tlie next morning with a kink in the right elbow. It was very stiff but instead of having it massaged .1 rubbed some olive oil on it for two days. Then I found a warm spot at the park and in pitching for fifteen minutes the sun just burned out the kinks. I have had but one serious injury. I blame myself for this, too. While

HORNSBY MUDDLE UNSOLVED Giants Threaten to Take Case to Courts —President Heydler Firm. Jiu United Frets NEW I’OKK, April 9. — With baseball teams returning from their southern training camps to open the championship season on Tuesday prospect of legal warfare today threatened to involve the National League in a serious muddle. Acting In behalf of their new second baseman, Rogers Hornsby, the New York Giants will go into court on Monday to seek a temporary injunction restraining the league and its president. John A. Heydler, from interfering with Hornsby’s appearance in tlie New Y’ork line-up. Decision lo take the case to the courts followed a conference of National League club owners in Pittsburgh, which failed to unravel the tangled stock situation in which Hornsby is the central figure. The star infielder owns 1,1 67 shares of stock in his old club, the St. Louis Cardinals. For his holdings he demands $lO5 a share. Sam Breadon. president of the Cardinals, has offered S6O a share. It will be the Giants against the field. The seven other clubs of the senior baseball circuit are lined up solidly behind President Heydler. The National League, hoping to avoid legal recourse, the ramifications of which might disrupt the organization, offered a . compromise price of SIOO,OOO for the block of stock, Breadon to pay $75,000 and the league and the New York club tlie remainder. The offer was refused and Hornsby advanced a counter-proposal. He said he had an offer from a person, indisclosed, of $87,000, and suggested the New York and St. Louis clubs, together with the league, make up the additional $3Q,000. The club owners vetoed this proposal.

pitching during batting practice to a young fellow named Vogel with the Cubs, we reached the end of our time. I had pitched my last one, when Vogel asked me to give him one more. I did, just lobbing one up to him. I started walking to the bench when I heard the crack of the bat. The ball was sailing for my face. I put up my right hand and the ball crashed against my wrist. Fortunately there was inly a minor fracture and I was out only two weeks, the longest time in my entire cart er. I know a number of star twirlers who like to fuss around the infield when it isn’t their day to work. I have never approved of such methods, although I have at times puttered around some outfield position. A pitcher must have both hands in good shape to do his best work, the pitching hand in particular. A sore spot ,or a bruised or sprained linger, often doesn’t interfere with the play of an infielder or outfielder. The same condition would be a great handicap to a pitcher. The balls are hit too fast in the infield for a p’liher to try to handle them. Then there is always a chance, that after making a play and fumbling the bail he might step on it and suffer a leg injury. The accident that almost ended the career of Eddie Collins happened that way. It is usually the case that something happens when a pitcher gets careless as In my case in pitching to Vogel. A pitcher cannot afford to, for he must “baby” his hands.

Farrell Gives His A. L. Size-Up

By Henry L. Farrell United Frees gtatt Correspondent NEW YORK, April 9.—With five new managers handling clubs in a league that has been reorganized almost entirely, a prediction of the outcome of the American League championship races involves more than the ordinary risks. It would be a simpler and a more pleasing process to act like the bookmakers and establish two clubs on the same odds as the favorites for the championship. Accepting the responsibility of being wrong—and very wrong—the standing of the teams in the American League next October looks like this: Philadelphia Athletics. New York Y'ankees. Washington Senators. Cleveland Indians. Detroit Tigers. St. Louis Browns. Chicago White Sox. Boston Red Sox. BRAZIL BEATS MANUAL Brazil track team defeated Manual Friday afternoon at Willard Park, 57-41.

Action Provided at Legion Show

Billy Peterson, Detroit, and Emil Baksic, Gary, former amateur champions, Friday night at the American Legion boxing show at the Armory, staged what came close to being one of the best matches ever held in tlie city. Almost identical in height, weight and build the middleweights unleashed vicious right and left-hand blows that brought cheers of approval from tiie fair-sized crowd. Peterson gained an edge in a number of rounds, sufficient to put him slightly ahead on points. Wallie Patterson, Columbus, who was matched against Kewpie Trimble, East Chicago, should learn that making faces at one's opponent, together with jumping up and down, never would win a fight. The honors were even. Alleni Watson of Indianapolis knocked out Jimmy Hall, Indianapolis. in the second round. Hank Graham and Bob Lewsador went six rounds to a draw. Young Nasser and Frankie Colderbank fought four fast rounds to a draw in the opener. It was a good card.

Christie played very little ball in 1925 and last year remained out of action altogether.

A few “dont’s” for putting are: Don’t move or sway the body. Don’t turn the head to follow the ball. Don't try to stab the ball, that is, hit it and stop tlie putter immediately at the impact. A good point in establishing a line for your ball to follow to the cup is to pick out some object on the way and try to make the ball roll over it. Practice these points and watch your score decrease this season.

Betzel’s Tribe Placed Next to Colonels in Potential Strength. RECENT DEALS FIGURE Guessers Place Hoosiers Second, Milwaukee Third. By Clark B. Kelsey United Press eitatf Correspondent CHICAGO, April 9.—The ball clubs that bloom in the spring may become tlie ripest melons at the end of a long summer’s campaign, but indications are that the American Association teams will end tlie season in this order: 1. Louisville Colonels. 2. Indianapolis Indians. 3. Milwaukee Brewers. 4. Toledo Mud liens. On par for fifth place—St. Taul Saints and Kansas City Blues. 7. -Minneapolis Millers. 8. Columbus Senators. This conclusion was readied after the United Press had taken a poll of sports editors in the cities having Association clubs, after consultation with league officials, after a thorough study of the teams' rosters and after striking an average on the league experts’ opinions. Nearly every sports editor who was asked to vote on tlie pennant winner named the Colonels as fiotential champions of the circuit, despite the records, which show that few clubs capture the flag three seasons in a row. Bruno Betzel, who accepted the responsibility for the Tribe at Indianapolis when Ownle Bush went to the Pirates as manager, recently acquired Outfielder Brickell from Pittsburgh, in addition to Outfileder Walsh from Buffalo and Outfielder Anderson. Though losing Catcher Hartley to Boston, Betzel still lias a supeiiietrodyne receiving set In Bob Snyder, Ernie Vick and l’aul Florence.

At Milwaukee, Manager Jack Leli* velt lost a prize in Fritz Schulte, who was sold to St. Louis, but plugged up the gap with Frank Wilson, who lacks Schulte's mechanical genius, but possesses more fire than the Flying Dutchman. Pitcher Dave Danforth signed this week, deserting the hold-out ranks. R. J. Connery, owner of the St. Paul club, Is confident the Saints are as good as any in the league, and boasts it is the best he ever has had. Casey Stegel at Toledo has a formidable outfit which will be made stronger with purchases, tt is siyld. Edward (I)uteli) Zwilling’s Kansas City Blues got Joe Hauser when they lost T)ud Branom. Unless Hauser’s housemaid's knee bothers him lie should be a tremendous boost for the Blues. Mike Kelly’s Millers seem to lack something, and they are capable of making errors when errors are valuable to the opposition. Just what the Columbus team will do under Ivy Wingo remains to be seen. The Senators may not bit their stride until later in the season, but with Wingo at the helm, it is quite likely that they’ll step on some shoulders to keep out of the basement.

Games will start at 3 o’clock. Rabbit Maranville, Heinie Groh and Eddie Murphy are some of the vell-knowns with the visitors. Rochester is called the Txlbe in the International and perhaps there will boa lot of redskin chatter heard out on West Washington St. over the week-end. Cold weather held tlie Betzelites idle Friday. The feature exhibition battle with Cincinnati was canceled and the Reds went home to meet the Cleveland Americans today and Sunday. i Manager Betzel held a club meeting Friday and discussed signal* for the opening A. A. game with, St. Paul here Tuesday. Indications point to Burwell or Schupp drawing the mound assignment in the important struggle. The Indians will spend Monday In practice and otherwise preparing for the Tuesday opener. Outfielder Johnny Anderson, formerly of Louisville, wired he would report Sunday morning. He is the right-handed hitter obtained from the Hollywood team of the Coast League. He has been working out and is in shape. Jimmy Walsh, right-handed batting slugger purchased from Buffalo at a big price, notified the Indian officials today he had accepted Indianapolis’ terms and would reach this city late Sunday or Monday. He batted .388 for Buffalo Jast season and drove in 131 runs. In the A. A. last year Pat Duncan drove In 123 runs to lead the league in this respect, and Bunny Brief drove in 122. Therefore it is evident Walsh can cfash the bail. Over long distance phone today Walsh told Vice President Smith it would take him only a few days to get in shape. All he needed, he said, was to throw a few and take a few daily batting drills and he would be ready to enter the line-up. \ A. B. C. MEET Dwyers and Zavokos Make Strong Pin Bids.
