Rarely does a “rookie™ a regular in his first year. break in Usually he sits on the bench the greater part | of the season, occasionally filling in as a relief pitcher in a game that} seems lost. — Herman Pillette of the Detroit team of 1922 was one of the few ex- ceptions to the rule. Pillette came to Detroit in a deal with Portland, whereby the Tigers secured Pitchers Johnson and Pillette. Johnson was reckoned as the star—Pillette as the raw recruit with promise. Conditions, on the Detroit team last year were just the reverse. Pillette was the outstanding young pitcher of the major leagues. He won 19 games and lost 12. Late in the season he seemed to be suffering | a bit from overwork and wasn't quite so effective. Pillette had a big year, so did Charles Robertson of the Chicagu White Sox, who achieved undying fame with his no-run-no-hit game, in which not a player reached first. | Pete Donahue, in his first complete year at Cincinnati, was the big noise among the young pitchers in the Na-, tional. While the work of the trio of} pitchers mentioned was high class, still I can recall no recruit pitcher who made such a sational debut or enjoyed so big season as did Pitcher Harry Krause with the Ath- deties in 1909, In 1908, the Athletics finished sixth with a percentage of .444, just three points in advance of Washington, that finished seventh.

Boston, Mi: | Chance, during Boston, intimated that he would like to put over a deal with Washington for Roger Peckinpaugh. It was when Chanc® managed the |New York club that Peck came into | jhis own as’ one of the greatest short- |stops in the majors.

Frank Chance Would Like To Get Roger \ Peckinpaugh For Red Sox A man- ager can build an infield around a good shortstop, but with a weak man at that position he is decidedly up against it.

KEELER RECORD HARD TO EQUAL “Wee Willie Keeler left one world’s record behind him which: has already stood for a score of years and may never be equaled. Making 200 or more base-hits is some feat if you only turn the trick one season. Keeler for eight con- secutive years, from 1894 to 1901, made 200 or more hits, His low mark in the matter of hits during that batting streak was 214 made in 1898, while his best effort was 243 safe bingles made in 1898, Until last season when Rogers Hornsby made 2650 hits, Keller’s mark of 243 was also a league record, Ty Cobb during his career, has eight iimes ‘made 200 or more hits during a season, but not in succes- sion. STAR PLAYER TO REPORT EARLY No ball player in’ either major league takes better care of himself than Stanley Harris, star second sacker of the Washington team. Harris,always fit, never carries an ounce of superfluous flesh, and right now is easily the best setond base- man in the American League, Collins excepted. He is the logical succes- sor of the White Sox star. Next to baseball, Harris likes his golf. During the playing season he cuts down the golf game, but in the winter goes in for it strong. Inside of a week Harris will be at the training camp of the Nationals at Tampa, la., despite the fact it will be many weeks before the other players report. Harris likes golf and Tampa, and spends the greater part of his win- ter there. He will be fit when the Nationals arrive. DEFEAT GLEN.ULLIN.
