FOSTER. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, May 14.—~Most ball Players, if they could round into ting average around 431 would think they were hitting ‘em pretty good. But not so Rogers Hornsby, who has just concluded a fortnight with his fellow members of the St. Louis Cardinals. “How's the batting?” the writer asked Hornsby shortly before the Cards struck camp in Gotham, “Tolerable—but I haven't got ‘hold ef one right this spring,” replied thé most famous member of Branch Rickey’s clan. He stuck to that story in spitg of the fact that he had just rapped out a home run and in spite of the fact that he stood just one remoyed from the top of the National league bat+ ting list. ‘This team isn't within-20 points of where it ought to be batting. I ought to be hitting .500 myself, the way. they are throwing them up to me, hut I am a little slow getting hold of ‘em, George Sisler, of the Browns seems to be having « pretty good time batting again, Ll keep slong with bim if I don't have an accident, He may lead the — left- handers and. I may. lead the hight: handers before the season is ove “Is the pitching better or worse than usual this yeay?" Hornsby was asked. “Both, Some better, some worse. Take ‘em all together and I'd say that nothing much has been handed out yet except here and there in the cases of young®ters, of whom you can't be just sure, We've got one. This young Rehm. When that boy gets going, he will stake his way through the National league, all right. And we've got a couple of kid left-handers that are likely to do their part.” % American League.

Connie Mack, sometimes referred to as the elongated boss of the Athletics, is usually a quiet, reticent gent. Evidences of an exuberance of spirits are usually confined to a slight chuckle and a lingering grin. But in the quietude of his hotel room you may hear Connie these days actually singing: “HALE, HALE, THE GANG'S ALL HERE.” And he has reason to be oh, so awfully joyful, LEAGUB.
