E PASKERT IMPROVED BATTER SINCE HE , CHANGED FROM OLD STYLE i.i- .in SSktMortfn Has Taught Centre Fielder How to , f Punish Curve Balls as Well lt as the Fast Ones Vjf Its AL-t, In -the name. If ono does not bellovo It all ho has to do Is to use an Illustration, a striking example which we havo right at home. IC Ty Cobb, Tls Speaker, Benny Kauff, Eddlo Collins, Frank Baker, Joo Jackson or a few others of the famous slugging brlgado of baseball como to this city or any other city for that matter and start whaling tho ball to all corners of tho Held tho fans go wild. They declare that whoever happens o be doing tho clubbing Is the great est ever, but If some lesser light breaks up game after gamo ho merely gets a lino or two extra, whllo tho fans inslut that ho Is going above his normal gait. Tho case of Dodo rnskort, tin Plillly centre fielder, is an excellent example of tho truth of this statement. Tho fans and rival players nro mystified at tho sensational work of Paskcrt and his hard hitting to all fields. Throughout the winter tho player-scribes and other critics In commenting on tho outlook for 1016 insisted that tho Phillies would havo to strengthen tho outfield It they wanted to bo In tho race, and suggested that a hard-hitting centre fielder bo signed to replace tho aged and weak-hlttlng Paskcrt. "Whllo Paskcrt fitted In perfectly with the machlncllko play of tho Phillies last season, Manager Moran also, real zed that tho outfield would havo to bo strength ened. Ho took an entirely different way of strengthening this department than tho critics figured would bo necessary, and Dodo Paskcrt Is still In centro flold, but Is a different player. Recognized as a Great Fielding Player Paskert has always been rated as ono of tho greatest fielders In tho game, and at times has boon a hard hitter, but last year Dode's hitting was woefully weak. It -was certain that ho must bo replaced unless ho could Improve a great deal In batting. Baseball sharps snld that it was Impossible for Paskert to Improvo. They claimed that ho had been In tho league almost 10 years and was too old to bo taught now tricks. Manager Moran differed with tho critics, and at tho training camp at St. Petersburg changed Paskerffl stylo of batting. Tho previous spring Moran changed Luderus' style, with tho result that tho Phllly captain was topped only by XArry Doylo In tho National Lcaguo batting averages. Luderus was a dead right field hitter until last spring, and was a mark for pitchers who could keep tho ball on tho outside corner. Moran nwltched Luddy's Btylo to such an extent that ho now gets tho majority of his hits on balls on tho outsido and Into left field, though In can still whale tho ball into right. Paskort's caso was identical, although ho hits from tho opposite side of tho plate. Paskert was ns much of t. left field hitter as Is "Stuffy" Mclnnls, hut ho could not hit curvo balls on tho outsido corner llko the Mack star. Ho killed fast ball pitching unless tho pitcher had good enough control to keep tho ball right along tho outsido corner all tho time, but when ho got In a holo Dodo was a mark tor curvo balls. Overcomes His "Curved Ball" Weakness At St. Petersburg thi3 spring Manager Moran showed Paskert where his stylo was at fault, and convinced him that ho never would be ablo to hit curvo ball pitching if ho persisted In trying to pull them Into left field and swung as hard as ho always had in tho past. Pat made tho pitchers feed Paskcrt curvo balls In batting practice and showed Dodo how to just push them into right field. Tho handicap of habit which had grown on Paskert in his 10 years of major league-playing was overcome by ambition. Paskort picked up Moran's Idea as quickly as Ludcrus did, which accounts for his hard hitting this spring. National League pitchers who had been feeding Paskert balls on tho outsido with great success for years were mystified nt tho sudden reversal of form. A large percentage of Paskert's hits this season havo been to right field, and Invariably when he has gone to tho plate In a pinch ho has hit safoly and to tho right side of tho diamond because tho pitchers weropltchlng to his old weakness, but found tho brilliant centro fielder prepared for this stylo of pitching with his now method of clubbing. Paskert is a player who worries when he Is not hitting and his general work Buffers. Whon ho la hitting Paskert fields as only he and Speaker can, while his Insido play and baso running improvo BO por cent. A good start means a good season for Paskert, as ho does not v;orry '"hen he falls Into- his first batting slump If ho has gotten off well, and local fans can expect a wonderful season for tho veteran. If Paskert plays tho brand of ball wo think he will show this season tho Phillies' chances for tho pennant aro 25 per cent, better, because that is Just about tho value of one hard-hitting outfielder to tho team as lt lines up today. Another Pitching Star Uncovered by Mack Another of Mack's young twlrlers came through In splendid stylo yesterday, and. beforo many weeks roll by the fans will begin to realize that Connie Mack has fooled the critics who predicted that he could not develop pitchers. Yesterday Elmer Myers, the lanky recruit frcm Raleigh, of tho Carolina League, had the Red box at his mercy, and aided by a little help from his teammates with the stick, pitched tho Mackmen to their first victory of tho championship season. Myers held tho Red Sox to four hits, three of whlc"h were made In tho last two Innings, and ho would havo blanked the world's champions If the game had been close enough to have warranted .Lajole making a play to tho plate In preference to clinching an easy out at first. The youngster's feat was remarkable when ono con siders that the Red Sox switched their line-up about so that thero were seven left handed hitters facing Myers, whoso main asset was a sharp breaking curvo ball. "When wo eay that Myers will pitch better ball than yesterday beforo the season has advanced much further it may seem like exaggeration, but tho lanky lad will have a better fast ball In a few weeks. Some of the fans were Inclined to believe that Myers weakened In the last two Innings when the Red Sox found him top three hits, but such was not tb.o case. He merely lost control of his curve ball momentarily and was forced to lay the fast one straight over the heart of the plate. First Sign of Real Enthusiasm Since 1914 The general play of tho Mackmen was better than at any time this season, and tho large crowd which attended, more through curiosity than anything else, went home greatly pleased. Beforo many Innings had been played tho fans, who were inclined to be pessimistic, ware cheering loudly. There was more enthusiasm shown at yesterday's game than any played at Shibe Park since the world's series with tho Braves In 1914. Tho enthusiasm of tho Tans seemed to put new life In the Mackmen. They played with more dash and displayed better flgjatlng spirit than has been seen since the heyday of the old machine. Perhaps today the pitching will be poor and tho team will not look good, but any team that can show the form the Mackmen did yesterday Jias a chance to finish in the first division In any league If it keeps right on fightlne when things are breaking bad. Veak hitting has been the greatest drawback to the team to date, and has been more of a handicap than the erratic fielding. Even with the fielders making costly misplays at times the Mackmen have beon able to hold their opponents to low scores In four of the six games lost, but with light hitting found It lmpos. Bible to break, Into the winning column. Witt Handicapped by Southpaw Pitchers Yesterday everybody clubbed hard but Witt and Oldring. The latter hit three balls hard, but could not get them safe, while Witt was bothered consid erably by another southpaw, In the long run lt will prove a good thing for Witt to face so many soulhpawu early In his career, as It will cure him of a weakness Aealnst left-handed pitching whlcn may have cropped up later. The whole team appeared to be Instilled with the spirit which wins In the long- run. Even Lajole was trying to steal bases, while the other men were on their toes all he tune. The hit-and-run play, a lost art in 1916, was again In evidence, and while Jaqk Barry broke it up two of the three times it was tried, the other-attemrjt was successful unit reaultnri In n run. As for the Red Box. they looked no better than they did in the series between the two teams In Boston. It la a team with a wonderful pitching staff, but this ftaM Is going' to be taxed to Jts limit to carry the rest of tho club along, A little lthck with the pitchers will wreck Carrlgan's chance for the pennant Tommy Qulnlan, the former White Sox outfielder, who Is playing with Salt tabs. Ctiy, of the Paclfto Coast League.'was hit In the head with pitched balls three times la, one game, and declared that he did not feel the blows. We suppose he will become Indignant if he is called a "stone head" some time later In the season. The pitcher was Jack Ryan, of Los Angeles, a giant who has terriflo peed.

The object of these meets Is to bring out tho latent nblllty of tho second string men and to give tho varsity men a good workout beforo tho relays and dual meets. This morning's meet proved that Doctor Orton's policy was producing the desired results, for In splto of a heavy trnck there were several icmarkablo performances. Harrison Frazler, a freshman, sprinter and former St. Paul's School nthleto, proved himself equnl to any of tho varsity sprinters when ho registered tho hundred yard dash in 10:3-5 seconds, which was tho best Friedman, tho winner of tho varsity event, could do, nnd also ran Katz, also of tho varsity, a dead heat In tho 220 yard dash. Al Crano when ho won tho t20-ynrd high hurdles convinced Doctor Orton that he will bo a valuable man In tho coming dual meets although hardly good enough to placo In the lntercolleglatcs. He will ho used only in tho high Jump In this meet. Scudder's performances in running tho varsity SSO-yard run In the fast time of 2 minutes flat, was easily tho -feature of the meet, considering the -slow track. Doctor, Orton killed two birds with ono stone when ho held the trials for tho freshmen one-mllo relay team. DImer Smith, tho former Mcrcersburg Academy star, was placed 10 yards behind scratch, but caught the field on the straightaway und finished fifth without exerting him Belf. Ho Just breezed along after that and let Walker, Drennan and Clayton fight it out to tho finish. Wnlker won out by a narrow margin, with Brennan and Clayton close on his heels. These three together with Smith will compose tho freshman one-mile relay team and are picked to win the event in tho relay games next Satur day. Summaries: 440-yurd dash Won by Walker: Becoml.

It uill net he biographical or Mntintlcnl. hut rnther In the nature nf rnmlom oh hrrtationM on some nf the mi)H and achievements of our Icudlnc golf nturs. There are freak plays In baseball, freak turns In boxing nnd freak episodes In football, but probably no gamo has as many freak happenings ns golf. Scotia's ancient pnstlmo Is as full of freak shots ns como golfers aro of alibis, which Is sufllclcnt quantity to last for qulto a spell. A Notable Two You can never tell from tho drlvo just what Is going to happen. In a tourna ment played at the Nashville Country Club ono day, Goodloo Llndsey, an old Vale golfer, topped his tee shot at tho tenth hole, ordinarily a drlvo and a pitch. Ho decided to uso his hrnsslo on tho sec I ond shot, ns ho was some 200 yards away I from tho green. A wide hook followed. nnd tho ball sailed out polo across tho street, bound back of hounds, only to htrlko a telecranh nolo ncrnns tho ntrert. j bound 6ack upon tho green and drop In mo cup tur a .. A Freak Record Ono of tho freakiest shots wo ever saw was at the East Lake Course, Atlan ta. Iteynolds Tlchenor, playing from tho fifteenth tee, sliced his drive. The ball sailed out Into a parallel fairway, where another golfer was In the net of plnylng a full mldlron shot to tho 12th green. Greatly to this latter player's nstonhoi ment. Just as his club head was s-Vut t'x Inches from lib own ball, a flyln missile struck the Iron blado at the proper spot and sailed 150 yards up tho courso. Ills own ball bad not moved, and yet ho hail distinctly seon n golf club leave his club and sail merrily upon Its way. The an swer was that ho had struck Tlohonor's ball lnthe nlr nnd the Impact had de flected tho blade from Its original target. You Never Can Tell No, you can never tell what will happen In golf. A few days ago Oswald Klrby was playing In a four-ball match at Engle wood. His Becoml shot struck on the green, but trickled Into a trap Just be yond. In attempting to get out his ball struck tha sldo of tho trap and dropped back Jam up agalnBt It. Not only this, but It also dropped neatly Into a deep heel print. "There is no use in trying to play this shot out," he remarked, "for It's abso lutely unplayable" At which point ho gave the ball a careless wallop with tho niblick without even taking a stance for the shot, when, very greatly to his amaze ment and to the profound annoyance of his two opponents, the ball hopped blithely out and trickled Into tha cup for a par 4, Another Englewood Shot Even rarer than this Is the story of a shot that fell to tho lot of Harry D. Cash man at the eighteenth hole at Englewood. This hola is 170 yards in length. There la a high bank to the right, and still further to tho right of this bank, 20 yards from the green and 12 feet above lt on a plateau, is a thick green hedge. Cashman's tee shot, sliced, struck upon tha plateau to tho right of the green and apparently disappeared from sight In tha emerald hedge. Then, Just as Mr. Cash man was in the act of uttering a number of profound generalities regarding golf In all Its branches, tho ball began to trlckla out of the hedge, caught the slope, trickled down tha steep bank and slid gracefully Into tha cup for a very useful 1, The ball evidently struck a section of the hedge on its way in and bounded out from an unplayable position Into tha cup, saving a matter of 4 strokes. Colonel TV, B. Hanna relates tha story of another most remarkable occurrence. On a Kansas - coursa a certain golfer hooked his tee shot Into a shallow ditch, only four or five Inches below the level surface. As he was looking at the ball and debating what club to use the ball suddenly flopped Into tha air out of tha ditch upon tha level turf above. What mysterious force had suddenly developed? Tha answer fololwed a brief moment later when a toad hopped from tha underbrush on his way to further security where his day dreams would not be broken by any queer white objects resting upon his spine. "Wo will never forget an Incident con nected with a shot that Walter Hagen, open champion In 1914, made at Green. FESTIVE DOWN AT THE SHORE, YOU CAN ofiS& le&mm RICE wlch last spring. This holo wns 450 yards long. Hit cen got a long drive and then played a full mldlron to tho green. When Amcc Smith, Jerry Travers and Fred Herrcschoff had played tho threo balls were found short of the green. Hut Hagen's ball was not In sight. Standing by tho corner of the green was a stranger, not only to the courso hut to golf. "Looking for that first little white ball that camo up?" ho asked. When as sured thnt such was the object of the Kparch, ho remarked casually, "Well It dropped In a little hole thero by tho stick standing up," pointing to tho flag. The fact that Hagen had played a 460 yard hole In 2 by sinking a mldlron shot from 200 yards away had loft the visitor strangely cold. Evidently lt meant no thing at all In his young life, as ho walked dejectedly away without further comment.

Pennsylvania's one-mile relay team la picked. Tho choice of this team has been the talk of tho campus for tho past month, In fnct, lt has been n puzzlo ever slttco tho Indoor season started, but today It Is Bottled, nnd barring accidents, tho tram wilt bo Kaufman, Lennon, Lockwood nnd myself. This will bo tlio order In which wo will run, ntso, Lockwood did not rui In tho trials, but bo wilt be ono of lh quartet. Ills running for tho past tjircfi years nnd so far this spring will bo enough to convlnco every ono of his nblllty W bold down tho third relay. .Too Is tho original hnrd-tuck track man. Possessed with a very light bodj nnd n nervous disposition, he seems to nlways have atvleast two setbdeks dur ing tho year. First, ho threw his arm out In New York, nnd second, bo was taken sick on Thursday nftcr running, and had to go to tho University Hospital for a day or two. I do not think this will hinder him from running on next Satur day, for his condition Is not very serious, merely an upset stomnch. Chances Bright Our chances against Harvard look brighter, with theso men running as they did In yesterday's trials. Should Lock wood not bo ablo to run, Dorroy, who only finished n ynrd behind Kaufman, will tnko bis place, and wo will still have a lighting chance. I lmngtno tho choosing of Robertson as assistant to Orton Is a great surpriso to every ono, and I want to explain our reason for so doing. Tho committee felt that with the Inrgo squad which wo havo Homo men worn suro to ho slighted with only ono coach; Ynlo nnd Harvard both havo two men In charge, so wo looked over tho good men nvallablo, nnd found Kobcrtson tho most desirable, duo to his wide ltno,wledgo of trnck and field events. Itobertsdn has no specialty, as have most coaches, but Is equally good In $rack nnd field conchlng; also ho was belloved to be tiie ono who could best fit into the conditions nt this Into date and show the best results. This Is not, understand, a trial for Robertson, for wo do not expect a man to comb hero nnd show anything In one month. Robertson has not nor nny one elso been picked for next year. Praises Robertson IlobcttHon can help Doctor Orton a great deal should ho ho hero this spring, and tho only thing to be done to get him la his ratification liy the Faculty Commit tee on Athletics. IIo will llvo In tho train ing house with tho men and watch them closely on proper sleep, food, etc., which Is an essential thing nt this tlmo of the year. Today tho freshmen ttiuls will bo held with tho preliminary meet The two and four mile, teams will also bo selected today. With tho relays ono week nwny, Pennsylvania's chances look mighty bright. Due to Joo Lockwood's Illness, ho will not ho allowed to run In tho short mcdloy. relay on Friday; his placo will he taken by Frank Dorsey, who will run tha quartor. Lennon nnd Kaufman will run tho furlongs and I will tnko tho half mile. News comes from Boston nnd Now Havon that tho Harvard teams aro very good, especially tho one-mllo team. Har vard wants to avengo tho defeats met at our hand Inst spring nnd last win tor. I do not know how much better the Harvard team Is then It was last win ter, but It should bo a gre,nt deal better outdoors. These mon, with tho exception of Bingham, were poor indoor runners, whilo we were nil accustomed to Indoor tracks. This, of courae, gavo us a shade over them, so It now remains to be seen whether we can prove as good outdoors. Catcher Haley to Join Buffalo BOSTON. April 2-J.
