And then again, if his present pace is a fair yardstick, he may be better. Surely his present record of seven tri-| umphs, four shutouts included, against a lone defeat, would tend to indicate that he has found something to take the place of the blinding speed with which he used .to handcuff American League slug- gers. I doubt if you could convince the present crop of sluggers who have faced Lefty that he is not the pitcher he was.

HE HAS won SEVEN GAMES FOR THE RED SOX WHILE LOSING ONE 2upe BALL IS A BIT SLOWER. &8U7 IT'S SHMARTER Whether the addi- tional experience gained is enough to compensate for the loss of strength and speed is an open ques- tion. In Lefty’s case apparently it 1s. Still Cuts Locse When the old fireball was burn- ing a path down the middle, Grove didn’t give much thought to try- He didn't have to. And, too, for a strong-armed young fellow there is an extra thrill to throwing them past a batter. A wise old veteran once remarked that no hurler really learns the art of pitching until the old salary whip turns up sore. And there seems to be a lot of truth in that. Don’t get the idea that Grove is a decrepit old man with hardly enough speed to reach his catcher. He is anything but that. There have been occasions this spring when, finding himself in a tight spott, Lefty reared back and let fly with one of his old-time smoke balls. According to some of the batters who watched the pellet speed by he still can pour them in just about as fast as any other pitcher in the circuit. He wouldn't dare try throwing many of them in a game—Lefty knows that only too well—but it buoys vp his con- fidence to know that th-re are still a few fast ones left in the old arm Grove will be a real miracle man if he reaches the 30-victory mark this season, or even approaches it He's making his hay before the summer sun gets too hot and let- ting the other fellow do the wor- rying. Lindstrom Leaves In contrast to Lefty Grove, take the case of Freddie Lindstrom Freddy is half a dozen years young- er than Grove, has taken good care of himself and should have TH' DEVICES O SATAN--- By Pap - HIS COMEBACIC LAST YEAR WAS % NO MERE ‘FLASH 3 IN THE PAN'’ years left ed ‘up the he w many useful baseball And yet he has to sponge. He announced t through with baseball out on the Brooklyn Dodgers. Big league ball players don't as a rule do things that way. They hang on for dear life just as long as they can, at times when it means no end of effort and physi- cal discomfort to keep going. The probable answer is that Lindy never cared to play ball as badly as all that. It's no secret—and never Yas been—that Lindstrom always be- lieved there was only one good job on a ball club . . . that of busi- ness manager. Of course he would like to have a fling at managing a big league team. But that would only be as a stepping stone to the business manager’s desk. He realized tiat his days as a/ regular were over, and nolt caring to ipend most of the time on the | d ar "AHOY!. heard the good news?” have you STRAIGHT WHISKEY Distilled by HIRAM WALKER PEORIA, ersy LLINOIS STRAIGHT WHISKEY TH' FURSE ERBOULT 22 WHO VE BLATTIN' “fORE BRAINS 0UT_ABAAT KOSKIKURLS ELKS TO WIN OVER LEGION | | ikt [McAlister Has Tough Time' 4‘ on Mound — High { Lights of Contest | “Hot Weather” Koski found the | {Legion hitters easy meat last even- ling and heaved them in there “easy |like” for seven innings to take a {seven to one win for the EIks.| Koski had everything under con- |trol, issuing not onme walk, and| mun fine infield support led au‘ |the way. ‘ | Jim Elliott, Elks’ second-sacker, ! was the hero and the chief victim | {of the game, collecting a homer off the store roof in center field, | a single and was hit by one of | McAlister's pitches in his three turns in the batter's box.
