ect and the Mucstlon Is how arc matters to be remedied, ror wnerc aro

As things stand at present, the main Item of speculation is as 10 now

and Mamaux may hate more stulT than ho was ablo to show .Saturday.
but that was an admittedly awful day for pl'chlng. (Jrlncr. who has been
4ut of the big ring for the last ttvo seasons, showed a reliable form of ic
llef work against the (Hants, but It remains to be -seen If ho Is a real big
league regular again. Humor has It that the big blond ttvlrlcr fell by
tho big league wayside when the emery ball was "verbotcn." Both tlrlncr
and Grimes hao the reputation of being freak pitchers, but the season Is
too young to establish their present effectltcness. They must be way aboto
par, however, to make even a respectable showing If they uro forced to
continue to play behind the present Dodger lluc-up.
There Is yet another Interesting speculation point, and that relates to
Daubert. Jake's bum leg had him bufruloed lat jenr. but he looks lively
again xmd gels around in old-time form. But tho .lako of old could not do
auch a much in muklng u real baseball team or even an Inlicid out of
the present material.
AND a good deal more rcbts upon Jake's crippled member than
its vdsslo'e effect upon his worth to his team this season.
Ills assertion that it was cured by dancing will be eagerly scruti
nized for results.
Mcuscl Was Hitler, but How About Williams?
THOSC who have seen "Irish" Mcuscl flourish his trusty willow and
tako a free whack at the ball will not bo surprised to learn that ho
Jilt 'for .311 in the fast 1'aclflc Coast League last season, and that ho poled
out seven homers. They will be surprised, however, that Ills home-run
olouts were so few and doubtless will conclude that left-Hold fences In
that circuit are much nearer the home plate than the right-field palisades.
That such a ffiico situation Is more than likely the ease Is shown by
ft glance nt the ofllcial records of that league when It is noticed that an
other batsman made inoro than three times as many full-distance wallops
as Dode I'askert's successor. Meilscl's master walloper was Ken Williams,
a left-hand hitter, who played In the .outfield lor 1'ortland, and who made no
fewer than twenty-four. Williams also lilt a couple of points higher In gen
eral batting average.
Naturally, Williams had 11 chance at tho big show this season and was
heavily relied upon by the .St. 1-ouIs Brovvns to inject wnnc hitting Jazz
Into the Fielder Jones line-up. That this dream was 11 sad one a ;cgulur
vVecghman nightmare Is Indicated by tho fact that Williams got his
papers and had to put aside baseball and throw away Ills chance of big
leaguo society to fight the Kaiser.
Suggestion for Museum for Wagner Relics
THE number of requests coining to Honus Wagner from the boys abroad
beeklng baseball equipment of nny kind has revived tho Idea among
Pittsburgh fans of preserving all possiblo relics of the great plajer and
ustabllshlng a baseball museum In that city In memory of Its baseball Idol.
Tho present thought comes editorially from Sporting News, and Is as
follows:
"Badly as the soldler'boys may need that equipment, it Is suggested
that If Hans has any old gloves or bats ho used to use they should bo
preserved In some sort of a baseball museum as mementos of the game's
best-loved player. Such n plan was proposed In Pittsburgh bcveral years
ago and now that thcro is' danger of tho kindly old German disposing of
his relics maybo the plan will bo revived.' A Hans Wagner society doubt
Jess would send the soldier boys a score of gloves or bats for every one
that Hans will turn over for keepsakes. Can nny ono Imagine a moro In
teresting or revered relic thaji 'the glove Hans Wagner wore,' preserved
in aorno baseball shrlno for future generations of fans?
"Wagner himself will be seen no moro on the diamonds of the circuit
ho graced so long. His permanent retirement Is now accepted as a fact
and nothing could coax him back to the game. -Annual Wagner banquets
will bo features of the winter season In Pittsburgh doubtless for years to
come, when Hans will make his appearance as the honored guest and make
a. few remarks in Jits own inimitable way, but the great body of fans will
not see his face again,
QOMETHING should be dono to preserve his memory and per
lO haps the Pittsburgh Stove League Is the proper organization
to inaugurate the movement."
Reds Need Hitler Like Gavvy Cravalh
TWO largo weaknesses developed in Christy Mathewson's r.ed line-up
during spring training. One of these was pitching deficiency and the
tber lack of clouting of the Cravath variety.
For years the Reds have been In dire need of a man llko Cravath
a slugger who could hoist huge files that would ppp over the short fences.
flKot in many seasons have the Ileds owned that sort of a hitter. At Ited
Jnd Keld. with its long stretches of garden territory, home runs have to
be earned, and the prime requisite of a batsman Isn't ability to lift tho
, looping fly, but to drive them hard and low, along the outfield grass, Instead
s'of.hUrh In air.
Nevertheless, a club should bo prepared to cope with geographic and
Jandscapq conditions- A bitter who could put them over short fences, on
trt fly. even if he only played at New Vork, JJrooklyn, Chicago and Phlla
dlphla forty-our games per season -wduld be well worth his pay to the
club, and would Jtavo been, worth a lot of money these many seasons. A
like Cravath, for instance, would havo collected probably fifteen extra
for the Reds each summer, una nrtcen games would count tre-

There was a strange thing hap

This Is dangerous for the fighters.
