BEN DAVIS,

Ball Players Honor Lists Shocking Joe

Stars of Old Aren’t Getting Votes, Williams Says; “How About Sisler?

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Jan. 23.—Up to now eight candidates have been definitely accepted for baseball’s hall of fame; these eight——and others to be accepted later—are tao be immortalized in bronze at Cooperstown, N. Y., scene of the first baseball game

ever played. These eight are Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Christy Mathewson, Hans Wag‘ner, Walter “Johnson, Tris Speaker, Nap Lajoie and Cy . Young. And certainly there can be no quarrel with these selections. They are Williams and since the balloting for this year was restricted to players active since 1900 (but not active now) their glorification becomes all the more logical. - To be included inthe Cooperstown shrine a player must receive a minimum of 151 votes. That only eight of the vast army of stars who have played the game since the turn of the century were able to command the necessary qualifying total is something of a shock. What about, say, George Sisler? Or Hal: Chase, if you prefer. Personally I feel Sisler was the greater first baseman of the two—which is the same as saying he was the greatest of all time. He may have been a few faint degrees below Chase as a defensive man, but in all other departments of play he was superior, He was a better hitter, a betler baserunner and a better team play< er, besides which he was better than a green hand around first base. He bad a lifetime average of 344 for more than 2000 games, and he swung agaist both the turtle and the rabbit ball. He used to steal third base more often than anybody in either league and thus was more

often in a position to score on a fly

ball. Had Gift for Hitling

Another thing, Sisler had a gift for hitting triples. For some reason it seems to be more difficult to hit triples than home runs. On second thought this is not hard to understand. Short fences make home-run Litting relatively simple. A triple, must of necessity be hit inside the park. This puts it up to the player's speed to a large extent. :

‘Sisler had speed and he made the |

most of it in rounding the bags. He hit 224 triples as against 115 home runs. Cobb was another fast man; he hit 297 triples and only 118 home runs. Sisler’s record for triples was better than Cobb’s when you figure it out, because Cobb played in 1000 more games than Sisler. Though not so vociferously acclaimed by the customers, the triple is probably a rarer batting exploit than the home run. Ruth hit 714 home runs and only 136 triples in the 2502 games he played in the majors. This, however, may not be significant because Ruth was being paid to hit home runs and he was generally firing for the fence.

How About Bresnahan? .

But we were talking about the star who have as yet failed to quafify for the hall of fame. How about Roger Bresnahan? The old Giant catcher received a grand total of 43 votes in the recent roundup -—and to repeat, a player must receive 151 to crash the gate. How many catchers from 1900 on would you name above Bresnahan? Who were -the star catchers the period developed? Johnny Kling, Jimmy Archer, Ray Schalk, Steve O'Neill, Bob O'Farrell, Gabby Hartnett, Mickey Cochrane and a few others. Bresnahan didn’t have to take his mask off te any of these. Besides he was fast and a crafty hitter. McGraw used to stick him in as leadoff man, so you can be sure he wasn’t a Shanty Hogan. Grover Alexander polled more than 100 votes but was still shy a considerable number. Old Alex, who was fated to come to such a miserable status in his twilight hours, was one of the great pitchers of our time. Eddie Collins, strictly an American Leaguer, thinks he was just about the greatest—which must be considered high praise from a disinterested witness.

Writers Cast Votes

The voting is being done by baseball writers and it may be they are being influenced by moral considerations. In any event Joe Jackson’s name does not appear on any of the ballots. Nor for that matter do the names of any of the Chicago Black Sox. Accepted solely as a baseball player, Jackson would have to be included in any hall of fame. Few men had a keener batting eye than Jackson. Few could get the bat: around to meet the ball as fast. Few were harder to fool. I have seen Jackson half-fooled on a fast ball, shift his stance in a twinkling and hit ‘a curve off the fence. Walter Johnson will tell you Jackson was the hardest man he ever tried to get out. Jackson Always Puzzle “I could throw my fast one past Cobb, Crawford and Lajoie and those fellows, but Jackson was always a puzzle,” said Johnson. Cobb once accused Johnson of bearing down against him and not doing the same thing against Jackson. “But if anything I tried harder against Jackson,” insisted Johnson, “because he always seemed tougher.” OF Well, I don’t know what-the point of all this is, except that possibly the old stars who aren't receiving ‘the votes they apparently deserve ought to get in touch with Big Jim Farley. It’s plain they need a campaign manager, or something.

tonight. > The Bulldog defensive machine will be badly handicapped with the two sophomore guards on the injury list. George Perry, regular guard, has been out of practice all week with a ‘badly injured knee. It is doubtful whether he will see ac-tion-at all in tonight's contest. William Geyer, the other guard, has been forced to take things easy in scrimmage games this week because of a badly bruised elbow. He may be in the-starting lineup. f.aural Poland and Chester Jaggers, two sophomores, have been seeing much action at the two guard postions and both will probably enter the game against the Hilltoppers. Poland comes from Brownsburg, Ind. where he played ball in high school. This is Jaggers’ second year of basketball as he did not enter the hardwood” sport while in Male High School in Louisville, Ky. The Butler mentor sent the Bulldogs through a light offensive workout last night as he wound up preparations for the game. The final game of the Marion County tournament will be played as a curtain-raiser to the ButlerMarquette contest.

Times Special VALPARAISQ, Jan. 23—The Valparaiso: basketball team today prepared for strong defensive drills

throughout the week after receiving a 59-35 setback at the hands of Western State Teachers College of Kalamazoo. : The Valpo team took a brief lead during the early part of the game but the Teachers retaliated by taking the lead and keeping it during the rest of the game.

NEWS

NEW CHEVROLET TRUCK MODELS ARE ANNOUNCED

Increased Power and Better Load Distribution Feature 1937 Series.

Chevrolet announces its 1937 commercial cars and trucks, completely redesigned in chassis and bodies. All models have a new six-cylinder valve-in-head high compression engine of increased horsepower placed farther forward in the chassis to make room for longer bodies on the commercial cars, and improved load distribution on the 1%. -ton models. -The new engine develops 78 horsepower at 3200 r. p. m., an increase of six horsepower over the previous model. Torque is increased from 155foot pounds to 170, maintained at its maximum over a wider range of engine speeds, from 850 to 1550 r. p. m, corresponding to road speeds of two miles per hour in low gear to 27 miles per hour in high gear with the Chevrolet four-speed transmission. Full pulling power is thus available through the normal range of operating speeds of a heavily loaded truck.

All Steel Cab

On both the commercial car and the 13%2-ton truck. models, the cab and the panel bodies are of all-steel construction, including seamless, one-piece tops. The load platform is constructed of wood, which is quieter and more durable than steel for this use. Cabs and bodies are more streamlined, an effect intensified by the new sheet metal design which has been improved in appearance by the adoption of some of the distinctive features in the Chevrolet 1937 passenger cars, but with exclusive truck construction. The hood top extends forward to the new radiator grille, which bears a new emblem. Full-crown, massive fenders run into newly patterned running boards. Headlights are long and tapering. The wheelbase of commercial car models remains at 112 inches, but the forward position of the engine permits the addition of close to 12 inches to the load floor length of panel and express bodies, while increased rear tread makes possible an increase of 27% inches in load floor width, In the 1l-ton models the change in engine location is utilized to move the load center farther ahead of the rear axle, effecting improved weight and load distribution, which provides more equalized stresses in the frame, more uniform tire wear—front and rear, and greater effectiveness of the front wheel brakes. The 1!:-ton models are in two wheelbases, 13115 inches and 157 inches. Both the commercial cars and the 1% -ton trucks have -chasis frames of new design, increased in strength and rigidity. The engine rear support now serves as a. frame crossmember.

Springing Changed Springing, also, has been changed on all models. The new front springs have the berlin-type rear eyes, which are wrapped by the second leaves. Front-spring slope has

‘| been ‘eliminated to effect improved

steering geometry. In the commercial car models the rear axles are virtually unchanged, except for the increase in length in the housing and drive shafts, to give the wider rear tread. The rear axle of the 1'%:-ton model has a new housing of the one-piece, seamless steel type, which replaces the former malleable iron housing with seamless steel tubes. The new rear axle has improved differential case mounting, stronger axle shafts, and new rear wheel hubs.
