Babe Ruth SAYS:

BV BABE RUTH ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., March 22. THE Athletics were scheduled to play in St. Petersburg the other day and rain spoiled the game. So a lot of them, including Connie Mack, came over to our hotel for a few hours and we all got to punching the bag the way players will. I was especially interested in something Connie said. "Babe,” he told me. “You can talk all you please, this is r young player's year. If we win the pennant it will be because some young fellows came along to help us. If you fellows win it will be because some of your rookies came through with a bang, if a dark horse gets the most from young ball players, they'll win it.” nan I hadn't thought much about the rare from that an*le bnt I can **• where Connie I* right. Tate the A’a tor Instance. Connie ha* aboot the me old team to shore In there again this year, but some nf those old fellows have berurs to slip. Some "f the pitchers are weaker and there's a bad spot at second base and short. If Connie is to win the pennant, he'll hste to ret rreat reserve work from McNair and William*, hi* two younr InArlders and he'll have to ret some pitchfur out of younr MahafTrv. ft U a “We’ll have at least two new men playing regularly this season in Cooke and Chapman. And if the Yankees are in the pennant race we'll have to have help, too, from some kid pitcher, who right, now Isn’t known beyond his own home town. I don’t know who it will be. There are four or five pretty good looking pitchers in our camp right now and it might be any one of them. But one thing you can bet on. If the Yankees win next fall, you'll be hearing a lot of nice things said about some young fellow who right now has never seen his name in a big league paper. nun Go rlrhl on down the line. The Tigrrs *re counting a lot on Funk, Rngell and Horsrtl: the White So* are deppndlnr a lot on Jollv; the Browns look for rreat thinrs from yonng Rick Ferrell and the Indians are counting much on Ferrell and a couple of kid Infielders. Connie was right. Its a younr ball plr#yer's year, and the team that wills. all other things being epual. will be the team that has the best luck with its voung fellows. ana IT’S a funny thing about rookie players. Somehow they seem to me to be much younger than they were when I broke in. Maybe it’s because I’m much older myself—but as I look back or. it all the rookies in my days were grown-up, hard-boiled men who had been knocking around in the minor leagues for a number of seasons before they ever got a big league chance. Nowadays. the rookie classes are made up of kids from colleges and schools, kids from right off the sandlots and the country diamonds. Fifteen years ago the a/erase ace of young ball players, up for a big league tryout, was 22 or 23 years. Today the average age Is about 20 or 21 years and I guess there l3n't a single big league team hi the country but has from one to a half dozen kids under 20 years old. ana In the old days mai agrrs used to figure that no kid could plav big league ball unless he was at least 22 or 23, and tliev wouldn’t give a vouneer ptaver a tumble. Today they don't pav so much attention to age. In the last two years I imagine there have been more players under 20 break Into the loigue bo* scores than there was ill fifteen years of baseball before that. a a a And it's a good thing for the team and for the player. I never did believe much in the old idea of devtloping kids in the minors. I believe the system is to bring the kids into the big leagues young, teach them the tricks of the business, and then turn them back to the minors for a couple of years to praettee the things they've been taught. k n o But I’m getting away from whst I Marled to write ihout. n u a THAT is that this looks like a young players’ rear. And the Yankees and the Athletics or any one of the other veteran teams will be in for trouble if some club comes Sion? with three or four good youne players to fill in the weak holes of last rear. nan Connie Slack predicts a dark horse trouble maker in our league this year. lie thinks It will be the White So*. I don’t know about that. Rut 1 do figure trial at least three of the ,-lnbs will be better off ♦hi* year than last and at least two of ♦hem ought to be right on thr heels of the A sand the V.inkecs through most of the season.

INDIANS TURN IN SECOND TRIUMPH OVER DETROIT

Len Koenecke Smashes Two Homers, Single to Lead Tribe in 10-4 Win

Young Southpaw Swatter Drives in Five Runs; Cvengros, Hall Scatter Thirteen Tiger Hits; Coridenites Show Defensive Power; Piay Cardinals Sunday. BY EDDIE ASH Times Sports Editor SARASOTA. Fla . March 21—What the slate of Florida lacks in feet abene sea level, the Indians of Johnny Corriden are supplying in the way of placing the city of Sarasota on a high spot on the spring training oaseball map. Their achievement in walloping the Detroit Tigers again Friday

at Tampa, 10 to 4, has caused most of the diamond sharps inhabiting the sunshine belt to puzzle over the methods Corriden uses n keying up his athletes to a point where they perform like major leaguers. On Sunday in Sarasota the Tribesmen will take on the St. Louis Cardinals in their third big game of the spring and the fifth contest played, if the two practice tilts with the House of David barnstormers are counted. Bill Burwell and George Payne are almost certain to see action on the Tribe mound Sunday against Gabby Street's National leaguers and perhaps Claude Jonnard also will operate if he recovers from the illness that prevented him lrom facing the Tigers Friday. The Indians had the crowd with them at Tampa when they showed up the Detroit pastimers and outfielder Len Koenecke was gazed upon as a hero. The southpaw swatter crashed out two home runs and a

off both Prudhomme and Sullivan. His round trip drives soared far over the right field fence and moved the lans to give him a big hand. Mike Cvengros pitched four rounds for the Indians and Lefty Hall finished, and though Detroit gathered thirteen hits, the Tigers found difficulty in solving the southpaw offerings when hits meant runs. Cvengros permitted six hits, fanned two and walked two in four stanzas and Hall was touched for seven safeties, struck out five and walked one in five innings. The young lefthander also had a wild pitch, but refused to lose his courage and in the ninth struck out Fat Fothergiil, veteran right-handed hitter, on a fast one that caused Fothergiil to swing so hard he fell down. Double Play Thrills A sensational double play, Warstler to Sicking to Monahan, in the seventh, saved Hall much grief, for Rice followed with a double. Alexander hit into the two-play killing, and it was a thriller because Warstler executed a dazzing stop of a violent drive hit to his right. The Indians went through the fracas with only one error chalked against them, while the Tigers made four miscues. Fast fielding more than once pulled the Tribe hurlers out of dangerous spots, and Manager Corriden complimented his squad on the defensive strength it exhibited. Cvengros got in the hole on Uhle in the second and grooved one that the Tiger hurler parked over the left center field fence, scoring Rogell. Tigers Go Scoreless Indianapolis jumped off to a onerun lead in the first inning. Detroit came back with two markers in the second and the Corridenites knotted the count in the fourth on Monahan's double and Cvengros’ single. In the fifth the Tribe .damaged Prudhomme with a vicious attack to count four runs, and in the same round the Tigers scored twice. Thereafter Detroit was blanked, while Indianapolis scored a seventh marker in the seventh and Koenecke boosted the total to ten when he crashed out his second homer in the eighth with two mates on base.

Paul Wolfe

ONE of the hardest working rookies in the camp of the Indianapolis Indians at Sarasota, Fla., is Paul Wolfe, former ThreeI League star, who is trying for the utility infield berth with the Tribesmen. Wolfe has shown plenty of speed in workouts at second base, but his best performances still are overshadowed by the spectacular play of the veteran Eddie Sicking, who apparently has a strangle hold on the keystone sack position. Wolfe also is clever wtih the bat, and probably will see action in several of the Tribe’s games during the season.
