In spots the pitching has been good but it has lacked consistency. Quick to realize this fault, Man- anger McGraw attempted to put over several deals with other National League clubs, before the date set as a time limit on all such transactions. Pitcher Watson of Boston was the only big league twirler he was able to secure, McGraw is strong for left handers.

Two star left handers is just twice as good, according to the theories of McGraw. For a number of years Art Nehf has played the role of star southpaw of the Giants. Nehf is.now a veteran in a baseball sense, nearing the end of his career as a big leaguer. Strong For Southpaws McGraw, realizing he needed pitch- ing strength—left handers in par- ticular—set out to get it. With the major leagues closed to his’ bank roll, he shifted his attention to the minors. Recently from the Milwaukee club of the American Association he pur- chased a southpaw, Dennis “Kew- pie” Gearin, Likewise he is said to have closed a deal with Baltimore of the International League for Robert ’ Staff AND DENNIS GEARIN “Lefty” Groves, the strike-out king of that organization. Gearin has al- ready reported to McGraw. Groves isn't due until the close of the year, but may be handed Over. if. McGraw is hard pressed. Gearin is one of the smallest pitchers ever to make the big show. He stands only 5 feet 5 inches. That makes him_.cven.smaller than wee Dick Kerr. Scouts Like “Kewpie” When not on the mound, the “Kew- pie” is available for outfield duty He is a good fly chaser and a good hitter. .His batting average in 60 games last year was .350. Scouts who have seen him work declare he is certain to be of con- siderable help to McGraw. The Brewers picked Gearin up from the Oakland (Cal.) team in the Pacific Coast League. They paid $750. McGraw is said to have given Milwaukee $15,000 for him. Manager “Kid” Gleason of the Chicago White Sox recently ‘tried to put over a deal for “Kewpie,” but couldn’t see the price Milwaukee had set. “Gearin doesn’t impress because of his size,” says Gleason, “but he’s a most promising recruit. “He has speed, considering his lack of stat- ure, and a great curve ball. He is a fine fielder. You really have five infielders when he is pitching. “For a time McGraw may be forced to pick the spots for Gearin. And if he does, ‘Kewpie’ is almost certain to be of valuable assistance to the Giants in the closing stages of this year’s pennant race.” His Fielding By NEA Service Cleveland, Aug. 17—One hardly can overlook Joey Sewell when com- piling a list of the stars in the base- ball firmament for 1923. The former Alabama University er, besides putting up a stellar game afield, has been smacking the old apple on the proverbial nose. At present he is not far removed from the swatting leaders. Unless he hits a bad slump, he’s almost cer- tain to finish well above the .350 mark, A pretty good. average in any league. This Sewell’s fourth season in the majors, though in reality he has only been in two complete campaigns. Joey came to the Indians in August of 1920, almost directly from the col- lege us. Obviously the jump was a big one but at that it was no bigger than the job he was asked to fill. Cleveland then was sorely in need of a shortstop, And a good one at that. At least if the’vacancy was to be filled as capably as it had been for years past. Ray Chapman, the hub of the Cleveland infield, not long before had met a tragic death. The Indians, in the thick of the pennant fight, re- quired a chap who could jump into Ray’s boots without too much of a rattle, To Joey Sewell went that tough Sewell Ranks With Best of ShortStops In Both and Batting assignment. But Sewell, a green, i experienced youngster, surprised even his admirers. Cleveland won the pennant that season—the only flag it ever copped. Now young Joey Sewell may not have been the “man of the hour” in that case, but he at least aia his bit for the cause. Since then the ex- ecallegian has come to the front rapidly until now he ranks well up in the list/of the best in the shortstop field, while at bat he tops them all. Sewell’s all-round work this sea- son has without a doubt been one of the features of the American League campaign. Lacking in the spectacular. and ‘minus that individual brilliancy oth- er players in the big show’ possess, Sewell’s work does not come in for the amount of praise it deserves. Nevertheless, he’s playing a nifty article of ball, and is proving a most valuable asset to the Speaker en- tourage. Joey Sewell never may .reach tae heights sua) ged by Honus Wagner and some Mne other star short- stops of yuan days, That might be asking too mych. But if performances to date can be taken as.a criterion, he is almost certain to emblazon his name in big letters on hasthalt! jor cre he bids adieu to‘the ‘ brush his hand along the surface of the putting green in order to reach such a decision? Player has such a right provided he brush his hand along the green away from the line of his putt, Is. it/permissible to concede putts to an opponent as a mark of sports- manship. Such a thing is permissthle, and very often done, but it not con- ducive to good golf, and isn’t neces- sarily a mark of sportsmanship. In any. sport the unexpected ones changes: the result. Conc putts eliminates the chance or the the unexpected to creep in. better to play every hole to fhe limit | and always insist on the’ putts hes ing made. _, . ‘h __Puzaling Plays is Tt is the lagt half of the ninth, the score is a™tie, a rather weak batter wp, and a runner on third "| base.
