“Up in Arms
ST. LOUIS, April 6 (U. P.).—Generally overlooked by baseball magnates in their zeal to build winning teams, the cash customer is about to cast off his? patient mien and demand that something be done for his own comfort, according to a survey made by Sid Keener, St. Louis Star-Times sports columnist. Besides being aware that he is in many instances imposed upon, the survey showed, the man who pays his money at the gate also has definite ideas ‘as to what should be done to make it more convenient for him to attend games. Some of them are: ’ Start the weekly games not later than 2:30 p. m, to allow spectators time to return home for an early dinner. Matinee theatrical performances begin at that time. Do not seize upon the slightest sprinkle of rain to postpone weekday games—particularly on Monday and Fridays—to make synthetic double-headers for Sundays and holidays. Eliminate crowding and jamming at entrance gates by employing more ticket sellers and turnstile operators. Inform fans in advance whenever unreserved seats are to be boosted to reserved seats at higher prices. Also specify what seats are reserved. This can be done by displaying a list of seat prices at the boxoffices. . Furnish free cushions to those in boxes and reserved seats. Score cards free to all in grandstand. Many baseball officials are considered entirely too inconsiderate of the spectators, the survey disclosed. ee

speed in 1924 was something akin to a turtle’s best efforts. Barnett rode in the mechanics seat of Miller's new front drive creation which he hopes to pilot in the annual 500-mile race here May 30. They were clocked at a 117-mile-an-hour average for three laps. Said Barnett, climbing unsteadily out of the racer: i “I was as speechless as Charley McCarthy during the whole trip. Never again.” - Barnett, who calls Lafayette, Ind. home, is making a personal appearance at an Indianapolis theater this week. bn

gentlemanly Oklahoman recovered
it in time to ‘win 22 games and lead the National League in that department as well as winning percentage and strikeouts. ‘ But even Hubbell and his rubBer arm can’t go on forever, and, as the Giants trek home, the boys are wondering what will happen when the master cracks up. Despite his outfit’s miserable showing against the Yankees in the world series, Terry stood pat, really making the National look like another minor. : And things aren't especially bright, with the Giants’ prihcipal farm, Jersey ® City, studded with such sterling youngsters as Freddie Lindstrom and. Babe Herman,
Paging a Pitcher
With Slick Castleman a big question mark, the Giants need another first-rate pitcher unless Hubbell, Cliff Melton, Hal Schumacher and Harry Gumbert are to carry practically the entire hod. Bill Lohrman of the new crop became something of a disappointment following a promising start. : Burgess Whitehead scarcely will be in shape to start at second base, due to his appendectomy. The grayhaired Lou Chiozza is filling in acceptably, and outside of that there is little new to report. The catchers are the same, Gus Mancuso and Harry Danning, save that at the outset their rankings are likely to be reversed, with the Los Angeles Hebrew taking over the first-string job. .
Patchwork Job at First
Terry once more is to go along with a patchwork job at first base, where Johnny McCarthy and Sambo Leslie continue to divide the chores. Po Dick Bartell is far and away the best ball player in the infield. Mel Oit won’t be an accomplished third baseman if he tries for as many years as he spent in right field. The outfield is all right, provided that Hank Lieber stands up in cenp ter. Bill McKechnie, who manage him for years in Boston, asserts that Wally Berger simply won't hit
unless he is played regularly. Joe
Moore will continue to get on base, and Jim Ripple won’t fold up in the clutches. Sy Speaking of the current controversy in regard to the National] League’s system of play being all wet, Terry insists that anyone who says that players do not need to learn mechanical perfection in the finer points of their craft must be crazy. : Close to the Vest “A man who can bust up a game with a hit is a great asset, but he is worth twice as much if he also can save a game by being a fine defensive player,” points out Memphis
