He got plenty of experience, but not all of it of the heroic type that was necessary for the big league, and when he made his first try in ® major league game he fizzled. It wasn't because he lacked speed, or curves, but he had no con- trol of the bal! and the batters on the Cleveland team—for that was the one against which he began—wouldn’t go after his wide curves as they had been doing in the small towns In Indiana.

The fans are divided in heart inter- est between eagerness for new faces in the old green diamond frame and loyalty to the old ones.

The rookie that shines best In the pre: Vminaries lack the heart to make the major league grade while the less flashy prospect may develop latent qualities that will make him a winning ball player. 1922 Youngsters Make Good. Will the crop of new talent be as generous in 1923 os that of last year? That {s a question often asked, but the answer cannot be given correctly until next fall after a season's test under big league fire, There was an unusual harvest of future greats in 1922, and it is doubtful if it can be equaled this year, partly because conditions will be different. Opportunity will not be as large a factor in the development of new tal- ent this year as it was last. The big leagues had not recovered in 1922 from the lean rs directly follow ing the world war, when mightier events than pen nts ocecupled the minds and time of the youth of the land. The aging of the veterans went right along just the same, but the, development of young players was reduced to a minimum and some who had made good in the majors did not return to the game when they were discharged from service. That gave the recrults of last y a chance to fill regular positions in greater numbers than ever before and proved the contention that the con fidence that goes with a regular job helps many a rookie to make good It 1s impossible within brief space to catalog and comment on all the young players who broke into the big tent last season, and no two people probably would agree on the exact dofinition of making good. But it 's ossible to name a score of lads who made places for themsclves in the ranks ‘In 1922, and it !s doubtful if the coming season can equal that showing. Yational Gets Best Break.

What surprises has 1923 in store? obec mn Perch. | Although the big pike perch known | asthe wall eyeq or wall eyed pike, is! the most popular member of the pike-perch group, there is another of | that tribe in the upper Mississippi ley and in the great lake region. This {s the sauger, also known as the jack, sand pike, gray pike, or rattle- snake pike. Ths little plke-perch grows to a length of twelve or fifteen inches and ‘ts paler in color than its big brother, the wall eye. Its brassy sides are marked by several black or blackish splotches, which are the rea- son for its being called the rattle- snake pike. The sauger doesn't make splash as a game fish, nor good to eat as a wall eye. You can take it by still fishing or trolling and sometimes it will rise to a small fly, Taken on tackle that you would use for crappies, very light rod, line, and small files, you can have some fun with it. But with so many scrappy and good sized game fish in the middie west it is not surprising that the sauger has not been given much attention. We once caught a twelve incher by accident and can’t say that it gaye us a big thrill.
