{ 190 MINOR CIRCUIT APPLICANTS STORM BiG LOOP PORTALS Connie Mack, Philadelphia Ath- letic Manager, to Take Dozen New Pitchers WILL GET EQUAL CHANCES! Majority of Hopefuls Are Pitch-| ers and Outfielders From Smaller Clubs Chicago, Feb. 4—(?)—There will be no depression this year for the rookie hopefuls who seek bigger and better pay days in the ranks of the American League. Help wanted signs, dangling from every club office in the league, have attracted 130 applicants of all shapes, sizes and records. All of them have been welcomed with open arms. 1 Opportunity is everywhere for| ‘those able to deliver. Even the un- successful ones are certain of | thorough chances and subsequent em- ployment with minor leagues. | Asks For Pitchers Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics will take a dozen or more young pitchers to the white elephants’ training np. George Earnshaw. he is taking a trio of rookies along for observation anyway. Pitchers are the crying need of Joe ‘McCarthy and his New York Yankees, too, Eight experienced hurlers will try out with the Yanks, including four from the International League and one cach from the Pacific Coast League and American Association. ‘Two young outfielders of great prom- ise, Myril Hoag of Sacramento and Fred Walker of Jersey City, also will get a chance and are expected to stick. Detroit, seeking more punch at the bat, has grabbed off several fence busting outfielders, depending on its 1930 staff and optional players for pitching largely. Chicago and St. Louis needed in- fielders and went after them. The Browns picked up three young sen- sations from the Texas League, Burns, Storti and Levey of Wichita Falls, and two good minor league | | catcher prospects in Young of Mil- | waukee and Crouch of Wichita Falls. ‘Will Have New Talent The White Sox, experimenting with good looking youngsters for a change instead of writing out six figured checks for established stars, have a flock of young talent that brings a smile to the face of the “old Roman,” Charles A. Comiskey. Cleveland needed first string pitch- ing aid and bought Fay Thomas of Sacramento and Craghead of Oak- land, both with experience. The In- cians also picked up two third base- men, Detore of New Orleans and Winegarner from El Dorado, one of whom may replace Joe Sewell. Wash- ington had a great pitching staff last year but will try out a few young- sters and give three infielders, includ- | ing first baseman Joe Kuhel of Kan- | sas City, a chance. Boston, cellar | team last year, will take almost a Score of rookies to Pensacola. Three of them—Catcher Muddy Ruel, Pitch- er Wiley Moore and Pitcher Johnny Briltheart—can hardly be classed as rookies as they have been up before. Of the 130 recruits, many have ‘been up before but most of them are new to the majors. Stanton Cage Quint Defeats Hazen Hawks Hazen, N. D., Feb. 4.—Stanton’s independent cage team won its 11th consecutive victory when it defeated the Hazen Hawks 16-14 here recent- dy.

Majors Asked to Play Night Tilts’ Minor Loop Clubs Want Pre- Season Games With Big Leagues Under Arc-Light | Chicago, Feb. 4—(?)}—‘Ghosts” haunt the major leagues. Almost every club president and manager this winter has been be- sieged with requests and demands that their teams play a share of “ghost” or night games during their spring exhibition baseball season. And almost to a man they have balked. The Cubs, White Sox have had their share of worries over the requests as have the rest. Recently, the Pirates heard the Cubs planned to stage several night games on the West Coast with the Pirates as opponents and it took President William L. Veeck of the Cubs some time to convince Barney Dreyfuss that it was @ false alarm. Other minor league clubs, operat- ing in parks equipped by arc lights, have attempted to get major league ciubs to play night games with little or no success, Helene Madison Has Two More Records Seattle, Feb. 4—(P}—Helene Mad- ison, Seattle, had two new world’s swimming records and two new 4merican marks to her credit Wed- nesday. In one race here Tuesday night the high school girl shattered her own 440-yard and 400-meter records and the American short course figures held by Martha Norelius, New York. Miss Madison’s time for the 440- yard distance was 5 minutes 31 sec- onds, compared with her former world’s mark of 5:39 4-5 established at Miami, Fla., last year. She also automatically broke the American short course figure of 5:48 4-5 held vu. Martha Norelius for those dis- neces, Satans Triumph half.

In the American League, the cover will be the same but the stitches will be heavier. Not only will these changes take some of the BR ad out of Ged ball, major league officials confidently ex- pect, but also will give the pitchers a better grip on the ball and thereby increase their effectiveness, ‘The pitchers, hampered continu- ously by all sorts of restrictions, have complained for several years the smoothness of the ball’s cover has made it extremely difficult to control. The thicker stitches planned on the 1931 ball should.go far toward solv- ing that difficulty. e changes are not drastic enough for any radical decrease in hitting. Officials of both leagues do believe, however, that the changed ball will result in greater pitching efficiency, a decrease in the number of “trick” home runs hit and a slump in the inflated batting averages of the last few years.
