AL SIMMONS OF ATHLETICS IS SENSATION Ranks With Game's Greatest Hitters Despite Queer his habit of pullitg away from. the plate with his left foot, seemingly making it impossible for him.to fol- low through with his swing, was de- cidedly unorthodox for a good hitter. Despite the fact that Simmons pull- ed badly, he hit better than 300 his7 first year in the majors. Often bad- ly out of position, and apparently much fooled by a fast-breaking curve, Simmons would hit it hard to right field. cs He’s Real Star Now In addition to his unorthodox style at the plate, Simmons also had other rough spots in his makeup. He didn’t always make the proper play. Cer- tain experts questioned his smart- ness. The 1926 model of Al Simmons ar- rived over night. From an unpol- ished busher, he stepped into the big show this year a-real star. Simmons still pulls at the plate but that means nothing to Connie Mack and opposing pitchers. “Just one of those natural hitters whose style is not graceful but most effective, You know Hans Wagner was far from’ the poetry of motion when at bat,” says Connie. For the first 50 games of the pres- ent season, practically one-third of the campaign, Simmons boasted a 400 batting average, just 100 points better than his mark of last season. Simmons first attracted major league attention because of his bat- ting: Today Simmons impresses you as much by his work in the field and on the bases as at the bat. I consider Simmons a smart ball player. He always throws the ball BISMARCK PRS SEs eS - a 2 Billy Evans Says | Ir iomadeats Ame COLLEGIANS IN DEMAND Two famous: college baseball sta: have ended their days as “rah, rah’ athletes, Shortstop Walter Gautreau and Pitcher Owen Carroll of Holy Cross. It is only natural they should be in demand by major league clubs Both intend to take a fling at the professional game. Carroll, according to report, has been the property of the Detroit club of the American League for several years. The story is that he was placed under contract two years ago when he gave evidence-of being quite a pitcher. ecently Mpnarsy John McGraw of the New York Giants made Car- roll an offer. It is said the amount was considerably in advance of what his Detroit confract ‘calls for. Naturally Carroll would prefer to play for the advanced figure. It is said that an effort is being: made to break the Detroit connectio# ‘on: the grounds that Carroll was a minor when he entered: into it. This contentfoh is similat to the case which involved George Sisler, when Pittsburg of the National St. Louis. of the Americ: League were fighting for his services. CASE OF CARROLL Sisler, it seems, was only 17 when to the proper place in the games I officiate and what a wonderful arm he has. Reminds of “Happy” Felseh On the bases he is very fast and uses good judgment. In the field he makes great of his spged. No outfielder in baseball can cover more distance. Style at Bat BY BILLY EVANS Last season at this time, Outfielder Simmons of the Athletics was, known as “Foot-in-the-Bucket” Al. This year the same young man is the sensation of the majors, the most improved player in baseball, and one of the outstanding reasons why the Athletics are out in front in the American League. A year ago the experts doubted whether Simmons, because of his ung usual stance, would be able to con- ently hit major league pitehing. He is a right-handed batsman and Ine many way his style in general reminds one of “Happy” Felsch, when that player was starring for the Chi- cago White Sox. The*rise of Simmons reads like a tale from fiction. He has been play- ing professionally only four years. In his second year he led both the Texas League und American Associa- tion in batting. It would occasion on great surprise if he topped the American League batters this year, Simmons is destined to be another Star of the Cobb-S ype, a col- orful player, a distinct asset to the American League. he agreed to go to Pittsburg. Later he signed with St: Louis, then under Branch Rickey, who had coached Sis- ler at Michigan. .°)) * ? Pittsburg's claim to Sisler was de- clared void and he was made the property of the St.-Louis club. Since Carroll is conceded to be the greatest college pitcher of the last decade, it will. be interesting to see what disposition is mage’ of his case. He is a pitcher worth fighting for. Jack Barry, former star shortsto| of the Athletics, now baseball coach at Holy Cross, is strong for Carroll. Some time ago while discussing col- lege stars with me he commented as follows on Carroll. “Carroll is a finished pitcher. He can step right into the majors from the college field and delivef. He has everything a big league pitcher should have.” Like most major league clubs, De- troit can stand another good pitcher, incidentally, eMGray could uge him, ) THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1925 —vs.— é- HAZEN as some of the veteran Giants are going none too well. ANENT MINOR STARS The failure of the minors to de- velop big leaguers in proportion to the demiand has caused the scouts to pay close attention to the colleges. Within the next two weeks at least 20 college stars will join various major league clubs for a trial. Prominent among these-is Captain Eddie Fatrell of Pennsylvania. He is & shortstop and comes to the New York Giants. While there is little chanee of him bteaking into the lineup, McGraw is strong for a capa- ble secondary defense. It is understod that Gautreau of Holy Cross, considered the best col- lege second-sacker in the east, is the roperty of the Philadelphia Ath- etics and that he will be sent to Portland of the Pacific Coast League fot a year of seasoning. Such a pro- cedure worked out in great shape with Catcher Gordon Cochrane, who statted for Boston University. He it one year at Portland and is now rated one of the best catchers in the American League. Hvly Cross is famous for turning out big league stars.
