Playing the Field

■With Billy Evans-

OHYSICAL assets alone consiclereil, “Lpfty” Grove of the Athletics is the only southpaw I can recall who compares with the late “Rube” Waddell. Connie

Mack, who developed both star lefthanders, is inclined to the belief that at times Grove has a faster ball ball than Waddell ever tossed. I am positive that no pitcher ever showed me a faster ball than Grove did in the first four

Evans,

innings of the opening game of the season between New York and Philadelphia. " (> ‘'Throw your fast one past him” has long been the slang of the ball field for keeping the batter from hitting speed. It is more or less a ■ figure of speech with the athletes. However, in the opening game of the season, that is just what Grove did against a club noted for its ability to murder speed. The righthanded sluggers in the Yankee line-up for a time were as soft ijor Grove as the heavy-swinging lefthanders, Ruth and Gehrig. ■ It was the greatest four-inning Exhibition of pitching I ever ex•pect to see. It would be physically impossible for any pitcher to show more stuff. BREAKS SPOILED PITCHING ®N the fifth Grove got some bad breaks, wilted slightly and the Yanks scored four runs. A limilar situation brought over four lore in the next session and Mack’s reat southpaw was on the way to ne showers. “l’m certainly glad Grove is on jour side,” remarked Mickey lochVane, who was catching him, after both Ruth and Gehrig had whiffed, as well as four others, f “He’s so fast I just can’t close yp quickly enough on him.” Coclibane was using a fairly new glove 4nd this, coupled with the great Ipeed he was handling, made it difficult for him to hold the ball. • As Grove mowed the Yanks down 4’ith monotonous regularity during §ie fl"st four innings, it didn’t seem as if the New York club would be able to score all summer against such pitching. And then, almost in in instant, a break and a few hits gave the Yanks four runs. ' The hasty departure of Grove from the mound was most unfortunate after his sensational work .'in the early innings. He deserved a better fate. # | NOTHING IN RESERVE mT is just possible that the sudden rout of Grove in the opening game of the season, sj,t a time when lie looked like a million dollars, will serve as a lesion from which he should profit. I As I called halls and strikes, moststrikes, the idea occurred to me |bout the third inning that no hu(Vian being could put so much stuff <?n every ball and weather nine or fncre innings. ; The lesson that Grove no doubt ■ learned, if not. then one that lie ‘must learn, is that he should pick .spots in his ball game to ease up, 'thereby saving himself. I In the opening game of the season against the Yanks Grove was putting all his stuff on every ball pitched. In the crisis be had nothing a little bit better to offer, in order to stem the onrush of the Yankees. ' The lesson that Grove must learn la to conserve his stuff. He can cut down 20 per cent on bis fast ball Jvhen there is no need of using it (tnd . still be just about the fastest pitcher in the game. , Grove must learn the lesson that jevery famous pitcher finally learns -before reaching the top of liis ; game, the conservation of liis i physical assets.

Brewers 'Away to Strong Start in A. A. Flag Campaign. BURWELL IS VICTORIOUS Bill Defeats Blues in Series Finale, 5-4. By Eddie Ash Jack Lelivelt’a Milwaukee Brewers, packing a terrific punch, came up from Louisville today to open a four-game series with the Indians. The Cream City pastimers were elated over their feat of bumping off the Colonels and every indication points to a tough round of battles for the Betzelites. However, the Indians hope to perk up some, now that they have won their second game of the sea-

son. The Tribe achievement was earned at the expense of the K. C. Blues Friday, 5 to 4. amid snow flurries and with frigid weather prevailing. Tribe Defense Improves It was a' wellplayed contest, despite the raw atmosphere, an and, .strange to relate, the home athletes

k

Burwell

did not commit a single “boot.” Bill Burwell the chucking and he went the full route. The struggle was a close one, and the few loyal frost-bitten fans present felt well repaid for their visit to Washington Park. President Thomas J. Hickey of the A. A. was among the brave spectators and he had kind words to offer in appreciation of the hustle displayed by the athletes in the face of the, return of winter. Typical of Burwell But for the fact he allowed nine hits, more than he usually grants when “right,” it was a typical Burwell contest. Bill fielded his position in brilliant style and got two hits, one driving in a run. He had five assists and two were on sensational stops of grounders difficult to snare. Larry Kopf “came up” with some dandy stops in the short field also and he punched one run over with a sacrifice fly. Tom Sheehan was the losing hurler. the Indians nailing him for eight hits and five runs in the six fnnlngs he operated. A couple of K. C. helped the home team's scoring, for which the rooters offered thanks. Breaks like that have been going the other way. McGowan. K: C. center fielder, drove in three of his club markers. He drove out a sacrifice fly in the second inning to score Hauser and in the eighth he lined a home run over the low right field fence with Pick on ahead. It was a solid smack —right on the nose. Denver Grigsby, a bench warmer, pinch hit for Sheehan in the sev-’ enth and singled Nicholson home. Hargrove pitched the seventh and eighth for the visitors and was not scored against, two double plays being clicked off behind him to help him look good. The Blues executed three twoply killings, much to the dismay of the Hoosiers. Elmer Yoter accepted three chances at third, two coming in the ninth. Reb Russell banged out three singles and crossed yie plate twice. I-lolke's two Hits, one a double, had much to do with the Tribe victory. Managpr Betzel obtained two hits and a walk, scored one run, drove fa one and stole a base. Snow was falling when the Friday contest started and some more flakes fell as action ceased. Rain checks gave way to snow checks. The two field umpires officiated in overcoats, and Magerkurth. at first base, also wore gloves. The I*olar Bear League! And by the way. the Indians jumped over the Senators in the A. A. standing. Louisville dropped another—seven consecutive defeats for the champs! , Minneapolis. Columbus, St. Paul and Toledo decided against playing in the winter league and they vacationed Friday. Knowing the Indians were in a slump, hoping to profit thereby, the K. C. Blues got fooled Friday. The Tribe officials didn't care to mingle with the harsh weather and had the power to postpone the contest, but as a matter of sportsmanship the K. C. bosses were consulted. “Aw, let’s play,” the K. C. management urged; “we all need the work.” And the Indians won. There are pop-eyed arguments out around Oriental and Washington St. Ownie Bush has a wrist watch. It was presented him at the Pittsburgh home opener. He received a traveling bag and rosea, too. which is “jake” fa the old East End. But that wrist watch, that’s out of our line. For three years Bush piloted the Indians South- with knickers in his trunk. And in the trunk the knickers stayed. The peppery East Ender had a great home opening. The attendance was a record breaker by 2,000. despite a heavy rain that delayed the start of the game thirty minutes. And his club is leading the National League.

LARGE CROWD WATCHES WALLACE BEST LOHMAN Local Light Heavy Slams Toledo Veteran All Over Armory Ring—Other Legion Scraps.

Roy Wallace, Indianapolis light heavyweight, was in top notch form Friday night and slapped and cuffed Joe Lohman, Toledo veteran, around the ring for ten rounds in the main go of the American Legion boxing show at the Armory. Lehman kept “in a shell” for seven rounds and then opened up only to find Wallace slipping right and left jabs over. The fight took a vicious turn in the last round when Lohman fouled the local pug. Roy, leaned on the ropes for a moment to ease himself, came right bade and the final forty seconds of fighting found the many fans standing on. their feet cheering wildly as the two went at it hammer and tongs.

Major League Comment

Bu United Press Lee Meadows pitched the Pittsburgh Pirates to their seventh victory of the season and strengthened their grip on first place in the National League. Meadows gave the Cincinnati Reds eight hits, hut kept them so wellscattered they produced oi)ly one run while the pirates were bunching their nine hits with sacrifices and walks to produce three. This was Friday's only game in the National League, weather conditions causing postponement of the others. In the only game played in the American League the YVashington Senators defeated Boston. 7 to 3. It was the eighth defeat in nine starts for the Red Sox. Howard Freigau has been restored to his position at third base in the Chicago Cubs line-up. He was benched at the opening of the season in favor of Riggs Stephenson, an outfielder, formerly of Indianapolis, whose hitting . strength was needed but Manager McCarthy now feels he needs a steadier head at the so-called “hot corner.”

EVANS IS ENTERED IN RACE Daring Dave Named to Pilot Le Cain’s Car in 500Mile Classic. Dave Evans today was nominated to pilot Jack Le Cain’s Duesenberg entry in the International 500-mile rsce at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway May 30. Evans, who has had several years of high speed, has been one of those also-rans who are covered by only a few of the outlaying rays of the calcium that shine on a dyed-in-the-wool victor. His mounts never have been up to the caliber that his frequent bursts of brilliant driving deserved. But w-hen Jack Le Cain, himself a veteran speed pilot, began to cast about for a driver for the car he has entered in the Indianapolis event, he couldn’t get Evans out of his mind. He scoured the A. A. A. lists for the performance records of the drivers, and w-hen his long search ended Evans was nominated. “I’ve watched all these youngsters for many a year,” w rites the veteran Le Cain, who manages the mile-and-a-quarter board speedway at Salem, N. H., “and Dave Evans has that undeveloped spark of victory. I know if he has a real car under him he w-ill finish in the money. My car will be in the finest condition and I will supervise Evans’ run on the track from my seat in his pit.” Evans has participated in one race this year, the 250-mile contest at Culver City, Cal., which was wone by Leon Duray, and Evans was leading that contest until seven laps from the finish when he threw a rod and was forced to his piis for the remainder of the day.
