It's all up to Rickard. " Dempsey signed the Rickard con- tract. in Hot Springs several days ago; when he and the New York pro- ' moher met there.

Now that the teams are resorting to strategy. bringing back some of the inside stuff that has been stored away for many seasons, speed once more comes to the front.’ In this, connection I might add. that I regard Walter French of the Philadelphia. Athletics, the fastest man in the American League. There are better bass runners be- cause French has yet to master the art of getting a big lead. However. no player in the American. I doubt in the majors; can step to first or circle the bases as tastes French. The former West Point star ath- lete runs close to the ground and travels much faster than his style would make you believe. 0 O C Fatal Fault A weakness around second base. either upon the part of the player guarding that sack or the shortstop, is a fatal fault to pennant chances. L‘vcry pennant-winning ball club in the history of tire game has fea- tured a snappy combination around the keystone sack. Inexperieucs in big league ways is a. big handicap to players holding down such positions. Both the New York and Detroit clubs of the Amer- ican League have ‘recrults playing the all-important positions. No matter how great the ability of the player‘. one cannot expect him to step into the ‘dlflicult positions of shortstop or second base and deliver in his first year. ' While inexperience may handicap both clubs some this year. they are preparing for the future. 0 O 0 Collins Best. “Kid" Gleason, who has been identified with the bi sgues more than two score seaknounces fiddle Collins as thvr second- baseman of all tim .

CRESCENTS AND PASTINIES WILL PLAY SUNDAY Hard Fought Game Ex- pected—Warm Brothers Oppose Buschbaum Brothers. The Cross "his will tlash with the Pastimes. at Staples Held. Sunday. This game will bring together two of the fastest amateur teams in this section and a. real hard fought hat- ile is looked for. "Chic Buschlmum and Larry Buschbaum will form the battery for the Crescenis and Dick and Henry Warm will do the honors for the Pastimes. The. Buschbaum and Warm Brothers have, been going along in fine style this season. it will be. a. case of two brollicm against two brothers. 14 games played. then started a win- ning spurt that brought their mark to the .500 point 12 victories against us many defeats. In figuring the Athletics a pen- nant-contender. the pitching ability of Rommel, Gray and Harries was given much consideration. Yet in the first 12 victOrles scored by Mack's team, his trio of star twirlers turned in only two wins. 0 0 0 Pitching Wisdom I doubt if there is a smarter pitcher in the American League than Urban Shocker of the New York Yankees. Shocker's pitching repertoire in- cludes everything and he mixes the varied assortment up most deftly. “Pitch to the small end of the bat." is Shocker's favorite bit of ad- vice on how to succeed as a pitcher. In other words. Shocker simply means pitch inside. make the batter hit the ball on the handle rather than at the cud oi the but. It is practically impossible to gel. distance to any hall that is pitched inside, to the small cud of the but. 0 O 4 Great Record. "Lot Alphonse do it." That was a. byword last war on the Baltimore club of the Interna- tional League. champions of that organization, when some extraordin- ary bit of pitching was dcsircd. And, dt‘spito thu handicap of :1 handle like Alphonso, Pitcher Thom- as of the Baltimore Orioles won 32 games for Jack Dunn, three more than his closest rival. George Earn- show of the same club. Here are some of the feats Thomas put over for more. Worked in more games than any other pitcher in the league—~56. Worked 28 complete games.
