'A 'stopped up both In the leacuo and In the cntlro globe last teason. And ns
f tho dope appears at present tho Giants are the onl eastern tuiuad In either
v league that looks to hae a say-so In main-tent politics tho coming car.
, Considering American League affairs first, there I: no ilcnlng tho fact
that regardless of tho number of new players and their Individual worth
secured by l)ostonto plug war rents, tho outfit does not appear terlously ns a
worthy foo for tho White Sox. The team will hao to be rebuilt with
' players that whllo good ones are not suited for the opctilngi faced. Then
there Is tho managerial problem. Barrov In his previous try as a big
v , league leader was a failure, and he shows a decided Indecision and Indefinite-
ness In going about his present tough assignment. T.ilk of making .1 third
baseman either out of Schang or Mclnnls Is an exhibit which (.peaks plainly.
But should his material bo fitted In In effective ntvle It could not be expected
to bo molded to produce a dependable and smooth play iX the kind that tho
f White Sox arc sure to display.

XXto patch up sixteen gaps In tho tiring lino while the White Sox
will have tho same forces In the Held working tngUhor bettor than
ever, barring accidents, which are, of course, a hazard to be con-
1 sldercd.
Same Situation in National League Circles
IN THC American League, the. Athletics and Hed Sox monopolized the
going during tho period between Detroit's last pennant In 1900 and last
fall, Connlo'a world beaters ending their live seas-ons of hectic triumphs by
being torpedoed by Stalllngs's Huns. The Kcd Sox filled the Intermediate
two gap3 until the Whlto Sox nrrlcd last jear. In the National tho tight
has been ecn moro one-sided, for since tho Cubs crumpled or crumbled not
a westerner has had n look in. McGrnw won In 1911, 1912, 1913 and 1917,
whllo Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn, respective, filled In the threo
seasons the Giants rested.
Three teams In tho West now look good enough to ghe the Giants a
' contest tho coming season. These nre the Cubs, Cards and Beds. Kegard.
less of tho spots In tho Cub outfield nnd Infield, a pitching staf composed of
Alexander, Vaughn, Tyler and Douglas as a basis reenfoiced by the best
catcher in the business should make tho squad most formidable. With
1 Hornsby lined up and tho holdout problem virtually solved, Branch Itlckcy
is sure to have a strong outfit, and also is Matty, despite the seemingly cer
'tain loss of Fred Toney. Those .earns both will enter tho light this season
with confidence of first-division finishers and will not be afraid of anybody.
They will be prepared to start a drive rather than taking one from within
tho dugout. And many there nro who predict for John Hendricks a flno
career as a big league manager. Certainly extra efforts will be made to
come through his first season and thd former American Association success
Lwlll have able and heady backing on tho part of Branoh Itlckey.
Matty's Reds this season will bo able to show class In tho outfield and
Infield, behind tho bat and with tho big stick, while the pitching department
looks good despite tho probability of losing Fred Toney. Schneider, Iteuther
and King all ore good, whllo if Leo Mage should come through at second
before home folks a very swell Inner works would bo tho result.
AND the Beds will hae an additional impetus to win other than
Alndlvidual confidence. The Old Master has Just got warmed up as

Tigers Claim Taller Pitchers Than the Yanks
THE Tigers and Yanks have enjojed tho distinction of halng tho great
est amount of trouble In tho pitching department of anybody nllvo or
'dead. Tho pre-scason dopo has been good, but tho entire winter has been
required to dissect twirling mlscucs In tho two outtlts. Word coming from
tho two training camps shows both squads making claims for tho season
that whether they have the best pitchers or not they at least have tho tall
est ones in captl ity.
The' Yanks claim six better than six-footers. The Tigers boast of one less,
' but the claim is made that tlie perpendicular averago Is higher. This bunch
of newcomers added to Bill James comprises a group of cloud IKcis for fair,
it-report bo true. The leading member of tho show seems to bo ono Doty
Blades while the other polo recruits answer to tho names of Herb Hall, Uarl
Brooks and Eric Erlckson. Here is 1 Detroit scribe's description of tho
outfit:
"Sometimes when Blades feels In tho mood to say moro than 'how do ou
do or reply in tho affirmative or negative, ho might shed somo light on his
altitude, but If ho does not stand six feet six Inches, Vernon Castlo never
knew how to danco. Erlckson and Hall confess to six feet two inches, yet
vare obliged to tilt their heads back when either of them has tho desiro to
commune with Doty. .,.,,,.
"Blades Is a mero boy for whom the folks at home hold out high hopes
when he 'grows up. Doty Is a native of Texas, knows all about tho Lono
" Btar State and has moro than a passing knowledge of tho art of pitching.
- But If Blades wins a Job and stays with the club for the next ten jears It Is
doubtful If tho Tigers will learn moro about him than thoy know now.
"Conversation Is one of the cheapest things extant, yet from the Texan's
demeanor you would think that he was trying to get a corner of tho chatter
market by the hoarding process.
,f 9
-qtjT Doty could get. "a, Job with tho Government, should he sud.
J denly decide to forsako tho national pastime, as an observa
tion tower."

'f
T5AY CALDWELE, tho lanky Yankee, who flies off tho handlo regularly,
Xvbut who outlasts, managers arid "flocks of players In the Now York
American cast and makes a big hit- with every Incoming administrator, Is
'not a blushing violet. Ho does not bellevo In the retiring stuff and, besides
yjoelng willing to admit that he ls'ln for his best season, declares that he ex
pects to cop tho dream of every big pitcher's career, which Is to show thirty
aotchea on his gun.
Tho long one gives his reasons. The Yanks are going to bo strong
oough the coming campaign to' slam out the blngles In a way to allow him
it chance to w hi a game. He will not have to do all tho work Himself. Ho
ays there will be real fighting spirit behind him for tho first time and that
.ft'-Vthe ancient Jinxes hanging both to the outer works and pitching staff will be
j jjBlaslng. He says Ping Bodle will supply tho long-needed color to tho out
:' '?M unit Ttorrlll Tt-;iH In thn Infield. He. no doubt, flcrurra thnt hn win v.o
there with the usual color in the" box department. This Is ono department
ttiftt has never lacked the rosy tints. That Caldwell's optimism Is at least
v rMficere is proveu Dy ms parting uuiiubbiuh him mo 1 units win win me pen-
l , ,4'.int. This prophecy Is about as original as Caldwell's annual prediction as
?L Just how good he is going to be. 1
Catching Grenades Important Part of Bombing
3 ability to heave hand grenades has been oft mentioned as a point In
K favor of tho ball player as a war prospect. Outfielders liavo been ds-
' atared especially adapted for tho peculiar heave required to effectively shoot
b Iot ones into the ranks of the foe. That thero is a moro lmnortant tun.
tin 0 the grenade business still is indicated by lato reports which pronounce
Bfttehlnc grenades of more importance than heaving them. Tho thing, it
a. Is to be able to handle chances cleanly and return tho pellets into
nemy'a ranks, there to do a boomerang stunt.
Viewed from this angle catchers may be expected to. make the best
Hers. Armed wltb a big mitt the receiving work would be simple and
1 free hand the spheroid could be returned Just like handing one fo
?4sond baseman "for a putout, A muff or a fumble meaning Instant
1 neat catch and swift return is the big point. Officers are stated to
: abnpunccd that Sammeo boys will be allowed to take their gloves
I'flM trenches, which doesn't speak anything good for the Hun.

It-Connie Mnclc ere nsured of a
competent pltclilns staff there is little
doubt that ho would liae n team that
would measure up faoiably with a ma
jority of tho acgreKatlons in the Ameri
can league this year. Hut It is already
a forcKono conclusion that ho will be
weak on tho mound Kvcii with this
fact most elclent. Mack refused to bn
held up by a pitcher that mlRht be of
somo penlco to him this year. Tills
was nono other thin Itubo Rcliauer.
Schaucr Wants Too Much
Ilefore the team left Philadelphia.
Mack announced tli.it he did not expect
tho blc twlrler to report here, but of
fered no explanation as to why lie would
bo absent. Last nlslit, however, In dis
cussing his pitching lKMsilillllloH, be In
adtertently droppid tho ic-mark that he
mlRht hac hail onu moro cilKrienced
man on the stalf had he been wlllinK.l
iu hiaiiu 101 .Liiauci h upmanus, l-resseu
for a detailed account of the differences
between him an the pitcher. Mack re
luctantly, recited tho Incidents which
led tu .Sehauei's refusal to fclcn a con
tract .ccordIw? to Mack, the big pitcher
and he had aurced upon terms by coi
retpondence, with the amount of salary
ho was to recele determined Mick
sent SUiaucr .1 contract with tho llgure
inserted. Much to his surprise, ho re
celled In a phoit tlino u letti-r from
Schauer In which the latter stated th.it,
after trolnu oer tlie hltuatlon with his
wife, ho had como to tho conclusion
that ho would not play this jear for
the money named In the contract, which
he returned.
To Figure in Trade
Mack Immediately notified Schaucr
that ho was through with him and that
he could not play with the Athletics
at any ilgure. He never has heard
further from him, but ho btated last
night that ho would not bo surprised
to s-eo him walk Into tho hotel heio
any day. While his services still be
long to Mack, it la moro than likely
that ho will flguro In 11 trade, either
with un American League club or be
sent to the minors.
Mack has been annojed Immeasurably
by tho failure of Gregg to report or even
advise him of the cause of his absence.
Yesterday tho tall leader's mind was set
at ease bv receiving a wlro that tho
veler.in pitcher had left his home last
Friday and was duo In Jacksonville most
any hour. Ills arrival will completo the
entire squad of twenty-one plajcrs
After the batting practice yesterday
afternoon Mack lined up his regular in
field and gave them twenty mlnutch' drill
In stopping grounders and throwing to
tho bases. It was revelation to a small
crowd to see Gardner, Dugan nnd Khan
non handlo tho ball. Tho two youngsters
did not spare their arms In the least,
both shooting tho ball around the
diamond In mldseason form. Gardner,
the wise old head, did not permit tho en
thusiasm of the minute to overcome his
better discretion. Ho stopped everything
that camo his direction, but was careful
of his throwing arm.
Substitutes' Are Poor
Following tho practice of the regulars
the substitute Intlelders took the field.
The difference In tho work was so
marked as to appear almost ludicrous,
The exhibition given by Davidson, Dykes
and McCray-nas a convincing proof. If
any evidence was needed, that Mack will
not have a capatle substitute Inflelder to
take the place of any regular If for any
reason tho latter is out of tli game.
McCray, who came here on tho recom
mendation of Outfielder Walker, Is a Joke
of the crudest type. There are half 9
hundred semlpros In Philadelphia this
mlnut.e who are moro promising than
McCray as a fielder. His real form de
veloped with a single afternoon. He will
not do and must return to the mines.
DavldBon, the former Drown University
boy. Is the best of the subs, but he Is
far from being a finished product.

Gavvy Leads Attack
Gavvy Is the principal nffensivo player
on tho team, knows baseball inside and
out. Is a brainy plajcr and has a fac
ulty of keeping tho plajers. keyed up
to thet fighting point at all times. He
follows Pat Moran's bystem to the letter
ami always is working hard to win. It
will be dllllcult to replaco him.
There was excitement galorn in this
summertime metropolis yebterday and
today. In addition to tho Cravath epi
sode two other events kept tho natives
from falling Into deep (dumber. The
first icel was furnished by Charles
Lincoln Herzog, tho ehamplon holdout,
unil tho other was a rainstorm Tho
inhabitants of tho fried-ham belt will
talk about It for years.
Herzog appeared on the field In a
riillllo uniform jestereMy and expected
to bo shown a good tlmo for a week or
so. Instead, ho foozled after ono short
hour and w.ir shown the gate. Ho was
presented with tho well-known tinware,
and the ax was admlnlstcied below tho
collarbutton Ho was canned, bounced
and -otherwise chased oft tho plaiciound.
and ho promised to bo a regular specta
tor 111 mo ruturc.
Charles Lincoln Smiles
But tho stormy petrel of tho National
League should worry. Ho has been
cnaseu by experts In his tempestuous
careertoid Is now hardened to it Ho
accepted the tlnwaro with a smile on
his Bunburncd face, expressed deep sor
row that he would not be nble to mingle
with tho bos at play and took his
marbles to another sandpllc,
Herzog's retreat came about In a
most peculiar manner. Ho was told that
ho could pracUco as long as he liked
whllo tho team was here, und acted
accordingly, Mike Dee, tho hardest
working mun In tho world, Kavo him a
now suit and turned him loose. Then
Hcrzle took his place with tho rookies
and soon traveled out to second base In
in most nonchalant manner. It was en
tirely unconscious on his part, and when
ho got thero ho remained. ,
Whllo ho was digging them out of tho
sand 'and playing his usual brilliant
game, President Baker appeared on the
scene. Our president thought well of the
new man at uecond until he learned
who It was and then thero was a change
of feeling, as they say In the clubhouse.
Herzog was summoned and told that
the National League would get very sore,
or something like that. If It became
known that he was working out with the
Phils. Holdouts are not all popular.
Baker explained, and until ho obtained
permission to cavort around an alien
diamond everything was off, Including
the uniform.
Herzog Regular Fellow '
Here Is where Charles Lincoln Her
zog showed that he Is a regular guy and
a very brainy person. "He smilingly
thanked President Baker, said he was
ngnt, ana explained that ho. had no
tea. rounds the knockout king walloped desire to start anythlnr In the rood old
BUI ooBoneni. out couia not. even score m. insuc.
Ing, recalcitrant holelout second base
man In the best possible condition when
ho Joins tho club if ho ever Joins It
Herzog is likely to bo on tho Job In a
short tlmo surprising tho natives every
day with his btcllar play.
"1 want to work with Pat Moran,'
said Herzog, "becau' I have known him
a long time and admire his methods of
training a ball club. Pat has given mo
valuable advice In tho past and I also
havo been able to help hlm. Wo get
along lino together and I havo been
looking forward to this training trip
ever Einco I camo down hero last De
cember.'
We cannot forget tho rainstorm. Down
here tho heavens seldom leak during
tho winter season and tho old residents
of St. Pcto point with prldo that urn
brellas nro used only to keep oft the
sun Today, however, a veiy healthy
cloudburst butted In on tho tranquil
city and had tho tame nffect as if
Niagara Kalis began to pour down on
tho town.
Even Natives Amazed
The good citizens wero amazed and
rushed for cover before they were
drowned. Out at thn ball grounds the
morning prfc.otico was cut short and
tho afternoon t-es-blon started an hour
late. At that, Pat Moran gavo tho men
a severe workout and had them fly
Ing signals of distress before ho called
a halt.
This morning thero were many stiff
joints on tno bquael and It was a hard
ship to go through tho practice. The
men expect to bo hardened In a few
days, however, and tako their medicine
without flinching.
But to return to tho rainstorm. It
is the custom down, here to give away
copies 01 ine uauy newspaper ireo to
1110 passers by every day it rains dur
ing the season, which lasts until April 1,
They gavo the paperB away yesterday,

It was reported today that Cy WII
Hams, the outfielder, obtained from the
Cubs In exchange for Dode Paskcrt.
had quit baseball nnd decided to remain
on his farm. Pat Moran knew nothing
of Williams's decision nor docs any
one cisa connected with tno club. All
they know Is that ho has been offered a
contract at tho same imoney he re
ceived from Chicago last year, and the
contract lias not been returned.
Williams has not written to the Phllly
office nor has ho signed tho papersv Ho
has not announced his Intentions and
until ho does the management of the
local club cannot discuss the case.
if Williams makes good m threat
to retire it Is possible that the Paskert
deal will fall through and Dodo' will
como back to Moran. There Is a chance.
However, that Pat win take another
player In exchange, preferably a south
paw pitcher, for the Phils are weak on
mo mound ana more pitchers are
needed.

centrifugal force pump which insures perfect, cooling
under all circumstances.
2. The Ball and Biill carburetor and "hot spot"
make fuel economy certain.

the springs" with consequent flexibility and smooth
ness. 4. The new Sludebakcr rear axle is semi-floating
and carries the load on Timken bearings.
