RCKARD HASINSD TRACK WITH OPTION Beckett Is Eliminated as an ! Opponent—Interest High & in Coming of Firpo. Negotiations will be contin- N cd today between Jack) Kearns, manager of Jack Dempsey, and several boxing promoters who; are anxious to stage several cham- pionship bouts with the titleholder and some of his challengers next| summer. Despite the six-day option Kearns sold yesterday to Tex Rickard, one of the promoters, binding the cham-! pion from accepting for a werk- week any offer that may be made by other bidders for the champion's service, it is expected that “con- versations” will ensue today. Kearns probably will confer with Harry Frazee, owner of the Boston Tted Sox, and Tom O'Rourke, match- maker for the club, which has a.li- cense to stage bouts at the Polo Grounds, and perhaps he will see Tickard again today. At any rate a definite agreement will be made with no one except the Texan.

Announcement of the proposed tour- nament brought entries from 143 amateurs of all sizes, welights and shades.

HE most difficult ,problem a manager confronts in build- ing up a pitching staff is the rookie twirler, with great natural ability and dozens of faults, who has made a reputation in the minor leagues. They must have done something to get promoted. As a result of this many of them imagine that they know it all. And you fMustn’t lose sight of the fact that youth is youth. These players are mere boys with very little develop- ment of their reasoning powers— | simply harum-scarum kids. | You can readily understand how 1 easy it is to turn the head of a boy of i nineteen by newspaper publicity and public admiration. To escape that a young man must be unusually level- | headed. "And if he is too serious and reflective he is lacking in pep and spirit. This problem, I imagine, comfronts | executives in many lines of business jas well as in sport. It s not at all uncommon for these self-satisfled young men to openly resent any coaching intended to rem- edy their faults. They don't think they have an; Type Is Quickly Spotted. This type of voung pitcher is quickly spotted by his new manager and the coaches. " Then our problem begins. We don't want to kill his overconfldent spirit, and at the same time he must be reformed to be of any value to himself or (o the club. Wilbert Robinson had a great knack of handling these young men. Jen- nings also seems to understand them. | They must be made 1o llke their in- structors and to have confidence in them. If we get that far there isa chance. Many of them, though, prove ut- terly impossible. The only thing is to cast a boy like that aside, much to his surprise and indignation. On his return to his home or his old club he makes it clear to his friends and to the newspaper men that he was not given a fair trial. And he goes right along with his faults, remaining in the minor leagues until the end of his playing days. He never understands. Most Rookles Are Willing. Most of the rookies are willing and auxious to be taught. They can be ! developed, and it is from pitchers of this type that we get our great stars. | A famous pitcher with whom we had great difficulty at first was Rube Marquard. Apparently he had every- thing. In the American Assoclation he was almost unbeatable. It was on that record that we paid $11,000 for him. I still think that the immense amount of publicity following that leal in which Rube got the sobriquet he “eleven-thousand-dollar beau- interfered a lot with his prog- ress. 1 don't mean to say that Mar- iuard was swellheaded. He was any- hing but that. It was nervousness ver living up to a great reputation that seemed to upset him. Wilbert Robinson was our coach then and T turned Rube over to him. Marquard got very fond of Robbie and by degrees the old coach was able to work him out of his faults, Marquard's Main Fault. His main fault was of putting the ball over the plate with nothing on it, as we say. Rube had trouble with his control. After whipping a few curves—and he had a beauty—and some fast ones around the batter, he would find himself in the hole. So fearful was he of not being able to get the ball over when it came down to two-and-three that he would sim- ply toss it over as straight as a string. In other swords, he had so much stuff that he was afraid to use it. | Obviously the only thing to do was to perfect his control so that he would not get In that hole. He worked very hard and under constant coaching finally settled down. In- stead of being afraid to turn one loose he got to where he could even play the corners with either his curve or his fast one. When right Marquard's fast ball had a peculiar jump to it that was a complete | baffler to opponents. It was in the| use of this ball at the right moments that he won his nineteen straight games, The point I try to make is that if Marquard had been of the swellhead type, who refuse to recognize faults, he would never have been & success- ful big league pitcher. I have seen | many pitchers with as much natural | stuff as Marquerd had who never got past the training period. Why Ruste Was Great. Very few of our present-day fans remember Amos Rusie. He was a wonderful pitcher and his greatness lay exactly in the spot where Mar- quard’s early fault developed. Rusie had tremendous speed and & wonderful curve. He could throw a curve ball almost as fast as his reg- ular fast one. Not only that, but he had the nerve and confidence to whip his curve over the plate when in a hole. As a rule, pitchers do not dare try a curve when the count is two strikes and three balls. They've got to get the ball over, and to be sure they usually use their fast one. Ruste had no such misgivin arin such a hole he would deliberately pitch his curve ball with every ounce of steam he could put on it. Usually he stood batters on their ears by that kind of pitching. Rusie, by the way, is now assist- ant watchman at the Polo Grounds. Dan Brouthers is the other watch- man. Often we get together and talk over old times. Always I have had {a deep sentiment for veteran ball- players, and I try to get them a good place any time there is a chance. Only Two’ Kinds of Balls. For the enlightenment of those who, perhaps, are not so famillar with base ball terms, 1 had better explain that in the lingo of ordinary pitching we never recognize but two P Radiators and Fenders ANY KIND MADE OR REPAIRED, installed in make. 10 DIFFERENT MAKES inuml.

All balls that are twisted out of their natural course are called curves. The outcurve, the drop, down shoot, and so on. are simply a curve ball to To us there is no such thing us an incurve. That is what we call a fast ball. Of course. 1 am assuming that the’ pitcher is right handed. A so-called incurve is nothing more than a bhall thrown in a natural way with great force. A ball thus thrown will naturally curve to a certain extent. If it takes a sharp jump, due to the speed, we call that the “break on his fast one.” In other words the inshoot is the natural course of a ball. A curve is unnatural, due to a reverse twist 1 ut on it. P Mhen” vou hear ball players speak of a curve or a fast one you will understand that “curve” means anything that takes an unnatural bend.

EW YORK, January 26—It looks today as if an attempt N to get Waite Hoyt away from the New League club will be as useless as trying to buy twenty-five American dollars with 100 German marks, now that the trade for Jakie May of the Vernon Coast League club has fall- en through. Perhaps any attempt to get Hoyt would have been a failure. The owners of the Yanks have never had any In- tention of putting thelr arms around the lad’s neck and kissing him a tear- ful adleu, although at times they un- doubtedly would have liked to put their fingers around his neck and choke him to death. It was rumored at one time they might be Induced to consider an joffer. Any owner usually can be, but it depends on the offer. Both Detroit and Chicago have a warm spot in the southeast corner of their sweaters for Hoyt. One “Detroit officlal, having listemed to & mild criti- i Hort last year burst forth. as f the New York club don't want Hoyt, there's an easy chalr on the banks of the Detroit river that will Just fit him.” White Sox Want Hoyt. Chicago has always said “Hoyt” when the subject of trade came up with New York. Chlcago likes the way Hoyt pitches when the young man is not peevish. He can pitch a heap, o far as opening the throttle and putting on steam fis concerned, but he also can exert a certaln amount of wilful per- sonality which is not always best for his pitching. It a mule showed similar symp- toms its driver probably would back- slide from the path of grace so far that it would take a block and tackle to get him right again, It the Yanks cannot get May it @0es not seem that they can afford to let Hoyt get away.
