Camouflaged Bat Declared Illegal Goose Goslin Uses Substitute Club to Annex Two Doubles and Single Chicago, April 13—(}—‘Goose” Goslin’s camouflaged bat is a prison- er of war. The black striped club, designed by Secretary Johnson of the St. Louis Browns and enthusiastically endorsed by Goslin in the belief it can puzzle pitchers and infielders, was banned Tuesday by Umpire Geisel when the Brown outfielder attempted to use it in the first inning of the White Sox game. Goslin insisted he had a right to use it, but lost the argument. So he picked up another bat and revenged himself by hammering out two dou- bles and one single, “Still think the bat is legal and am going to appeal,” he said Tuesday. “But that other bat I used—where has that been all spring. I like that one, ORL too. I got three hits with it for a starter.” In two years of hurling in col , Charlie Griffin, University of Michigan southpaw, has won 15 games and lost only three.

Perhaps you would not agree with William Henry (Bill) Dinneen of Syracuse, N. Y., on this subject but at least he has thoroughly good grounds for any opinion he cares to utter about baseball. Way back in baseball's button shoes days, Bill was the ace right- hander of the Boston Red Sox staff. |Connie Mack once told me that Bill ltry boy, thought the city was a pretty |T@nked among the great pitchers of |good place after all today. any day, any era. He started with the Boston Braves in 1901, reached his greatest heights with the Red Sox from 1902 through 1906, and wound up his career with three years on the Browns’ lot in St. Louis. For years now Bill has been call- ing them in the American league. He has seen great ball players come and go. As well as anyone, then, Bill has a right to name the best he has seen, They were, he says: “Babe Ruth, Earle Combs, Bob Meusel.” PALS HAD TO GO There was probably @ wrench as Bill, still as husky and as broad- shouldered as when he burned them down the alley for the Red Sox, passed up a great outfield from the town and club of his greatest fame. “A lot of folks say,” Bill admits, “that there never was an outfield to beat Tris Speaker, Duffy Lewis and Harry Hooper in the days when the Red Sox were world’s champions and there's no arguing them down. They were a magnificent trio, perfectly maiehed hitters, fielders, throwers, “But for my personal ball club give me the Ruth, the Combs, the Meusel of 1926, 1927, 1928, when the Yankees Were about as great a team as baseball ever saw. “They could outhit Speaker, Lewis and Hooper and they were three great ball hawks. If there was any weak- ness in the three it was Combs’ throw- ing arm, never very powerful But, for the long throws he had on either side of him Ruth, from deep right field, with a magnificent peg, and Meusel, from left, with an arm that Was as strong and as accurate as any T ever saw. “Meusel looked lazy out there some- times but that was his style. He roamed around with so little effort that it looked as though he wasn’t trying. There weren't many balls that got away from him, though. Sometimes he dropped what looked like an easy chance. No other left fielder in the league would have been near enough to get his hands on it.” TWO STILL AROUND Ruth and Combs still are good enough to be paid close to $100,000 iege | together for the 1932 season. With the fleet Ben Chapman patrolling left field like a wild antelope, the Yankees still have one of the strong- est outfield casts in elther league, taking everything into consideration. ‘They pack @ .350 punch, put together.
