JIAXWKMj Sports Udltor Krfnlnu I'iiIiIIp I.fdctr Copyright 1920, 1V I'uliln Lctlgcr Co. Taylor, Texas, March 10. JIMMY Ut'RKK, mnnoger of the St. Louis Browus, Is pulling something new in the trninlng lino down here this spring Iutead of perfecting a stone wall (Memo, which means mnn.v hours of grinding practice, he is devoting most of his time to his pitchers and hitter?. The (lingers aie on the mound every morning and afternoon, pitching to the regulars and Yi.niguns, ami as a result, the twirlers are In great shape, and the men have their ee on the ball. Of course there is borne defensive work, but most of It comes during the batting practise. That the Browns are getting some good early season pitching nnd terrific i thumping can be seen by the lop-sided scores of the games played thus far. u Burke's men do not collect n cluster of at least a dozen counters, they feel they are In n batting slump. They iertninl are soaking the pellet nnd the pitchers arts showing enough stufT to make the minor leaguers perforin iccordlng to their lowly standard The reason for the new training stuff is that the plalng field is not as smooth as it might be, and the ground is so hard thnt the infieldcrs find It difficult at this time of the year to judge the grounders properly. They do not know whether they will stop the bounding sphere with their glove or their face, v and Jimmy Burke is taking no ihances. Perhaps he has hit upon a great scheme to get a ball club in fighting trim. It certainly seems logical, for defensive plaji conies natural to n etcran infield, and the tough work is getting the pitchers and hitters in line. The noble athletes, thirty strong, arrived February 2o In this thriving city, which was discovered by Bobby Quinn. The have been working ever since, playing manj ball games with teams in this section cf .he country. Fort Worth, Houston, Kim Antoulo, Oklahoma City, Tulsa. "Wichita and Joplln were on the list, nnd those battles put the bojs In shape for the grand opening on April 14. lUfAXAHUR IH'KKB bcltrvci in making a good start and is beginning to appear as if he teoiild have his iclsh. Everything Up to Pitchers AS HAS been the cae in most camps visited thus far, everything seemed to depend upon the pitching department. This probably sounds like old stuff, but it Is up to the pitchers to determine whether or uot the Browns will have u sue cessful season. The outfield with Johnny Toblq, Ken Willlamss nnd Big Bill JacoWu is well taken care of, both on the dtjfcnse and attack, and the infield, consisting of George Slsler at first ; Joe (iedeon, second ; Walter Gerber. short stop, and Peppery Jimmy Austin at third, Is all set and ready to go. The catchers, Hnnk Severeid and Josh Billings, also nrc in good shape, so the buck is passed to the pitchers. Allan Sothoron, he of the numerous freak deliveries, has discarded all of the phony stuff and is depending on his spitter and some speed to get by this senson. He now admits bis alleged spin ball was only u bluff, and the other things he was supposed to have up his sleeve were pure Imagination. However, he looks very good, nnd will be one of the first-string pitchers the same as last year. Urban Shocker also Is showing lots of stuff, and Bert Gallia has swell control. It is up to the three veterans, ulong with Carl Wciltnan, to carry the pitching burden this year. y If they come through in good shape, the others arc expected to profit by the cafcmple. Lefty Lelficld, the thirty-six-ycar-old mound expert, also is on the payroll, and he will be seen in action this jeur. Lefty is a wise old bird and very effective against certain clubs. He alnajs has been annoying to Detroit and Boston, to suy nothing of the Athletics. lie probably will be used about once a week, and be depended upon to turn in n flock of victories. Of the new men, Dixie Davis who once had a tiyout with the Phillies and remained aboutfivc minutes with the Cardinals, looks like n future star. Dixie had a good Beason at Louisville last year and ihuuld repeat.

IlV has been plujin's ball many years, mostly In the American Association, but nexcr before has been up In the big show. In 3912 he attracted quite a little attention when pitching for Minneapolis nnd the Chicago Cubs decided to purchase him for a big armful of coin at the end of the season. The deal, however, never went through, because Horace broke his pitch ing arm and was forced to retire.

The Lcvcrettc who hod been counted out and twent off flip slate in lni'J came back and was given his chance to play in the major league. Everybody hopes he will make good. Bill Hujne, a portsider, who was copped from Tulsa last year and beat Cleveland iu the only game he pitched at the tall end of the season, nlso is among those present nnd will be closely scrutinized in the next three weeks. The same goes from Elam Vangilder, a right-hander from the ame town. He, too, pitched one game last season, trimming the White riox.

William Ifuruell, late of -loplin, probably he camea through the season to finish Imll gamri irhen needed, lie is developing into a good iclirf man but trill finisher m Little Utility Material THE Ilrowns are not very strong on substitute material , because none is needed. Joe Sbepncr, of Mobile, who took Jlinni Austin's place at third in all of the games played on the last eastern trip last jear, will be carried along this year, and John Shovlin, who played with Columbus a couple of years, also looks good' enough to stick. Mullin and Robertson nre good prospects, but probablj will be sent tfwaj for further seasoning Klmer Smith will be the substitute outfielder, nnd Pat Collins, tho twenty three year catcher, from Joplin, bus a chance to remain to relieve thriiackstops. St. Louis has a veteran club for the 1H20 pennant derby with n good hard-hitting outfield, a fairly strong infield, fair cntchtrs and a pitching staff which has an even chance of making good. Stars like George Sisler, Johnny Tobin and Bill Jacobson help u ball club considerably, and if the hurlers show any kind of form, the Browns will be up there battling with the leaders. matter what happens, Uiirac ; men look like first division prospects. ... D(fX T think they hate auii mid dieamx about icuuiing the pennant with such strong elubs as Detroit and Cleieland and thr ) ankci in the field, but Jimmy llurke has a quirk thinking, hard nghting bi-l 'tub, and icill cause lots of trouble befoie the final gonn ilnnlti mmmmimmmwmMmmmmmmmrmmwMWmMMmwmmBlm;k "WHEN A FELLER NEEDS A FRIEND CM AWiuig IMMctitm THE GREAT PACIFIER glides into his darker musings with a mild and soothing sympathy that steals away their sharpness ere he is aware.
