But, somehow | or other, Hal managed to weather| the storm and this season has been living up to the promise he showed when he came up in 1934. Trosky was often nominated as the logical candidate for the slugging, crown vacated by Babe Ruth on the| strength of his prodigious slugging | in 1934, Hal’s first season in the big show. But the following winter layoff seemed to have robbed him of his ability to hit. Or, perhaps the American league hurlers got togeth- er and compared notes on the rookie. At any rate, Trosky's bat was any- thing but potent when the 1935 season started. In desperation Hal| tried every remedy or suggestion offered by well-meaning friends and relatives. He shifted back and forth across the plate so often that he was all tangled up. NEVER GAVE UP Just another morning glory who faded when the early enthusiasms of his freshman season faded, just| another freshman gone stale, he was | labeled. But Trosky never gave up| trying. And when Steve O’Neill took over the reins late in the pennant race Hal began to show signs of life again. This spring Trosky looked like the Trosky of 1934. Home runs have been rattling off his bat—he’s pres- sing Jimmy Foxx in the race for the 1936 home run title. And in the important “runs batted in” column you will find Trosky topped only by Bill Dickey of the Yankees. The DiMaggios, the Lewises, the | Brubakers, the Mizes and the other first year men who are riding so high as freshmen had better watch their step. The list of freshmen stars was equally as | year's freshman crop are for the {and.appreciation for the many acts SHOWED TWO SEASONS AGO 1935 as in 1936. And just over last year's roll today Cy Blanton won 20 games for the Plratés Tast season, his first ini the] majors, and led National League hurlers in effectiveness. Compare that with his 1936 record of being unable to complete a single game so far. Clyde Castleman of the Giants won 15 games while losing six last season. He has been tak- ing his share of the bumps this year, and has only one victory to! recommend him. glance PITCHERS PASS OUT The National League in 1935 was proud of its crop of freshman pitch- ers—fellows like Roy Henshaw, Or- ville Jorgens, Ed Heusser, Fabian | Kowalik and John Pessulo—yet they have failed to live up to the prom- | ise they showed. Terry Moore, Lew Riggs, Alex Kampouris, Phil Cav- i aretta, Jose Gomez and Mel Al- | mada are having a tough time hold- | 'ing on to the jobs they won last season . | The situation in the American League is no different. John White- head, Vernon Wilshire, Joe Sullivan and Vito Tamulis were sensations | on the mound a year ago, but today | they are lost in the crowd. Tamulis | has returned to the minors.? “White- head, Sullivan and Wilshire have shown little this spring The outstanding members of this most part infielders and outfielders. Few first year moundsmen have | crashed into the spotlight as they did a year ago. So there is a pos- sibility that a greater percentage will beat the sophomore hoodoo. - e REILAND FOR SEWARD | E. J.
