Number of Promising Youngsters Unearthed
by Both Local and Other Teams Much
Recasting of Clubs This Year
"VTOW tliat tlio tumult und Bhuutlhg of tlio buring trulnlug .season nro
over nnd tho big seuson ltlck-oft Is iiupctulliig-, sumo Interesting; player
developments uro worth rcv-lowlng. Few flashes unions Kid players hao
been discovered, liut thlftlug from 0110 club to another lit the grontoHt trad
ing season tho game has known has niado much food for speculation us to
how tho clubs will lino up for regular pasllmlug and how tho new combi
nations will work out.
Tho undoubted sensation of tho teuton ea.1110 from tho (Jiunt training
camp ut Marlln. Itoss Young Is the young gentleman's name, and his work
In tho outfield as successor to Davo Robertson has made all hands forget
tho hard-hitting Norfolk medico and has placed him as a Louo Star natlvo
eon in the galaxy of Texas notables of tho diamond along with Trls Speaker
land Rogers Hornsby. Young has shown hitting, base-running, throwing
and insldo stuff of unutuul brilliancy and has been awarded tho responsible.
Job of lead off man.
Next to Young tho work of young Walter Hollochtr has stood out promi
nently, llollochcr received un even heavier dote of ovcrpubltclty than did
Young, but ho has conic through bis to far and has mado Chicago scribes
following the Cubs ga?p with his vcrsutlllty und all-around work. Aside from
hitting well and Holding In sensational style, he has shown baseball brains
in a pinch on more than one occasion. Ho won u game from Waco tho other
day by quick thinking and swift legwork In ttarlng homo from second 011
an lnflcld double play.
Sidelights to Giant and Cub camp training work havo been tho work
of Jess Barnes, tho big former Bravo pitcher mixed up hi tho Hcrzog deal,
and of King Lear, former Athletic. .Barue3 has caused all tho critics to
predict that ho will be ono of tho great right-handers this year, while Lear
seemingly haa won a regular berth at tho Cubs' hot comer over Deal. Much
Interest in Cub circles naturally hus attached to Klllefcr and Alex, tlio
latter particularly on account of latebt developments which threaten to tear
him from the Wecghmun cast and pockctbook.
(T1HL2 Yankees' condltlonlns woik has been the occasion of much
- interest, both on account of tho new blood from other teams
nnd a hustling new manager to succeed a long line of tllvvcrs and
failures.
Local Teams Show Some Promising Newcomers
"TYOTII local camps in Florida turned up somi material that listens well
- for tho reconstruction work of thowo teams. Connlo Mack's star card
eeems to bo Pitcher Scott Perry, a giant nioundsman who has been up
before, but who never has had opportunity to show his real hand as n big
league boxman. Perry's work caused viewing scribes to pronounce him In
every way lpe to repeat the great year with Atlanta two seasons ago, when
with a fifth-finishing team ho won twenty-six games. Davidson and Kopp
also appear unusually promising, while George Burns, in u homo uniform,
has shown a form Hash Just like ho did when he broke In with Detroit.
Among Phllly recruits nt least two bo.MUcii nnd two outtleldera look
mighty good. Mutbel proved to bo a bear with tho stick nnd In other de
partments of play, whllo Pickup undoubtedly will bear close watching during
tho maturing process. Davis and Hogs both appear excellent prospects.
Tlio former, who led ull American Association hurlers last yeur and holds
tho strike-out record of all leagues, was 111 and unublc to produce, but
uhould como through strung In regular pluy when he fully recovers. Hogg,
former Southern Leaguer and lately of thu Coast League, seems certain to
havo a dependable lino ot goods. He Is u late startir, but hustles unco ho
has a full head of steam on. us his ncferd ot llftccu straight for Los Angeles
; at the end of last season Indicates.
Stallings's Brues have shown nothing worth mentioning cither In tho
way of new material or old stuff. Cleveland and Detroit will bo. Irlually
Intact with tho exception of tlrst base. Marty Kavuuuugh has been resur
rected from nowhere for the Indian assignment left open as u result of tho
drafting of Joo Harris, while Lew Dressoir. of Pt. Paul, will titcklo tho
breach left by Jennings's trading of George Burns to tho Athletics. Bresson
has been given the lead-off assignment and has been going good.
THE Dodgers have shown ordinary form In training camp and
appear to bo placing chances upon two long shots. Ono ot
tlieso Is Jako Daubcrt's leg and tho other, comeb.-ui: puxslullltles
in tho box. Mamaux, Grimes und Uriuer, new pitchers, liuo suf
fered from the bad-season habit und their ability to return Is u
big gamble In tho season's llgurlng.
New Faces Put' New Life Into Yankees
THE Securing of Ping Bodio and Dcrrlll Pratt has mado apparently a new
team of tho' Yankees, for tho training work of Muggins's sqdud lias been
most promising. Ping bus added the long missing color and wullop to tho
outfield and Pratt, by his all-around good play, which ho has shown etlll is
in him, is bound to plua up tho historic chasm at the keystonu point. And
youngsters who have attracted much uttcntloii arc rescrvo catchers Uucl
and, Hannah. A number of young pitchers look good.
Like tho Rod Sox and Yunks, tho St. Louis Browns have a shullled
line-up which promises at least Interesting speculation. The reconstruc
tion process will bo thorough and tho livo Yankee players secured In two
deals will ail get a tryout. Gedcon is working at second. Malsel ut third
and Hendryx in tho outfield, while Pitchers Shocker und Cullop will bo
given plenty of opportunity to show what they are" worth under now colors.
Tho most Interesting development In tho Brown situation, howover, relates
to tho proposed comeback of Pitcher Urover LouUeruillk, lait season with
Tplcdo. His initial effort in the opening gamy of the series with the Cards,
howover, would Indicate that he at last has gained his ncrc, and that'3
TvUat ho has ho long needed to make him a real star.
Christy Mathcwson Is In a peculiar position this season. Ho has been
forced to lot go Ills regular second baseman In tho effort to round up
pitching talent and only succeeding in drawing a holdout, Uddlo Foster,
In this deal. Also ho has acquired tho leading twirler from tho Texas
League, Snlpo Conley, In tho effort to replace l'red Toney, und now Toney
la stated to bo ready to play. Mathcwson faces u most dllllcult situation,
for without Toney hU general offense will not measure up to last year's form
and with him ho is likely to find that ho has committed u bad break, for
tho recent charges involving this player's patriotism and which still aro
aUvo with an added 'indictment on another serious criminal charge inako
him a most questionable prospect.
INTEREST in the Washington team rests in tho apptaranco m
tho line-up of Johnny Lavan. Johnny has been going good,
but the loss of Sam Rice, tho club's only .300 hitter, was a scvero
' blow to Griffith's plans. No new blood is likely to mako tho Car
dinals, Mllier'fl ehoos to bo tilled by Botzcl, last season's utility.

Is Belter Artist With Pen Than With Gun
A LABORER can, paint signs on a ftmcc, but it tultes an artist to paint
pictures with language. And' It takes a real "bug" on any subject to
be eloquent, for tho pep und tho fooling must be behind tho spoken word.
There, is a trapbhootlng fan out Chicago way who can shoot well, but who
can tell about it better thun he can shoot, und his uumo Is T. A. Marshall.
YOU may not have caught tho spell of tho "sport ttllurlng," but jou will
