Cruising in Sportland

THE lost art of sneaking up a base by the theft ioute may do a comeback if the manufacturers of the new baseball are not spoofing about the lessened resiliency in the sphere. Anyway, some managers are preparing for changes in the attack and have ordered sliding pits for their training camps. Not for years have many of the athletes been forced to undergo the punishment that comes with the hit-the-dirt practice and the veterans whose bones have warped will be calling for the old snake oil again. The sacrifice bunt also will be important if the sluggers are checked by the pellet with the thicker cover and raised stitching, and the one-run lead of bygone days will mean something, if you take the word of the horsehide manufacturers. Fast ball pitchers are unlikely to benefit a great deal, but the curve bailers are figured to cash in by obtaining a better grip before cutting loose. a tt tt t: tt tt If the elongated Jim Weaver, rookie pitcher from Baltimore trying out with the New York Yankees, fails to make good during the workouts at St. Petersburg, it’s only a short distance to Sarasota, winter quarters of John Ringling’s circus. Jim, no doubt could land a job holding up the Ringling tent. He stands 6 feet 7 inches and also could serve as tonsil inspector for the giraffes. We can just about guess what the hotel clerk phoned to the housekeeper when he surveyed Weaver up and down—- “ Twin beds for Mr. Weaver’s room, placed end to end.”

Adam COMOROSKY, the “Polish Express,” one of the heroes ol the pennant-winning Indianapolis club of 1928, has not signed his Pittsburgh contract for this year and Manager Ens is getting some parly grief. Comorosky led the National League in triples and sacrifices in 1930 and also was well up in runs batted in. Paul Waner, another Pirate slugger, is still confined to a St. Louis hospital as the result of a leg infection received while taking a winter swim in Florida. tt tt tt Dale Alexander, the Giant of the Detroit Tigers, was sent to training camp with the batterymen and was required to indulge in mountain climbing for several days before he was permitted to handle a baseball. He was late finding his stride last year. The hikes through the wildwood, up hill and down, blistered his feet, but Alex stuck to his “dogs” and cut off about twenty pounds. He stands 6 feet 3 inches. tt tt a JOE HAUSER has signed his 1931 contract with Baltimore and apparently is destined to remain in the minors. Collecting sixty-three home runs last year to lead all leagues in circuit swats, Joe felt certain the majors would give him another trial, but the Milwaukee German was given the go by. Joe might try buying the scouts a few dinners. _ tt a a Heinie Mueller, former big league fly chaser who operated in the International League in 1930, told
