By the Associated Press. EW YORK, October 25.—Though subjected to heavy bombardments from batsmen during the 1923 season, pitchers in both major leagues recorded an unusual list of brilliant performances. Two no-hit games, an array of one-hit and two-hit performances * and new strike-out records were turned in by National and American League moundsmen. “Sad Sam” Jones of the world champion Yankees and Howard Ehmke of the Bostou 1 Sox accounted for the most spectacular box work of the season in a single week in September both blanked the Philadelphia At} s without a hit or a run, twenty-nine men facing Jones, while twenty-cight stepped to the plate against Ehmke.

The difference mets down, large- 1y, to lightness on the left foot at the ton of the back swing. If you could observe the top-notch play- ers in slow-motion pictures, as I have, you would readily see that every ome of them has n knack of shifting practically all the weight over to the richt foot just as the clubbend xtarts back. You would also see that the clubhead goes strotzht back along the ground anywhere from eight or ten inches to twice that distance before it starts its upward sitde. You would sece, too, that the clubhend ia even with the handx during this start of the back swing, never ahead of the hands.

How Foot Ball Is Played By SOL METZGER- COUTS of foot ball teams that have earned a place in the game would be wasting time trying to get the signals of future opponents. Furthermore, it is absolutely impos- sible for them to hear the signals from the places they seek high up in the stands. We doubt very much if any scouts ever try to get oppo- nents’ signals. Surely, if they fear an opponent to the extent that they will play crook- ed to defeat him, it is reasonable to suppose this opposing team is better coached, and that it will, therefore, have a system for changing its sig- nals during a game. The matter of changing_signals is not aifficult with a'team. It can be done at a moment’ notice during a game without causing the least bit of confusion. We know of only one instance in foot ball wherein a scout ever brought back a signal. The story was told us twenty years ago. A scout for a cer- tain team in Texas learned one sig- nal used by the Texas University team—the run of the Texas right end around the other end. When thi team played Texas, it had been coach- ed to run to the end attacked when this play was called. It just happened that Texas had changed its signals and that the old signal for the run of the right end now meant a direct buck through the line of the back on that side. When the signal was called the team on de- 92| fense rushed to its right end to stop the play. wrhile the Texas halfback —_— e N X Radiators and Fenders 10 DIFFERENT MAKES RADIATORS ANY KIND LADE OR REPAIRED.

THE QUESTION. bo scouts ever get the sig- nals of foot ball teams they watch play? went down the other side of the fleld for a touchdown. Playing signals is poor foot ball. Any coach will tell you that he has all he can do to get his own eleven to know their own signals. If an at- tempt is made to coach his team in i the signals of an opponent, his own a.tack will suffer, Attack is the main issue in a game. Without it no eleven can win unless it is very lucky.

Records of the past four open cham- plonships show that Jones has com- piled a grand average of 5-17 strokes per round, leading all rivals, professiohal and amateur alike, over the span of competition. His nearest rivals are Jim Barnes and Walter Hagen, who, over the same stretch each have averaged 75 1-16 strokes, while Jock Hutchison is next with a mark of A Jones made his debut in open play in 1920 and finished eighth, with 299 strokes.

N EW YORK, October 25—Miller Huggins will be just as well satis« fied to stand pat on his World Champion Yankees next season, al- though he would not spurn the services of another left-handed pitcher and an outfielder who hits from the right-hand side of the plate. That was the gist of remarks made yesterday by the mite manager as he began packing his trunks and cleaning up his affairs in this city prepara-~ tory to a getaway to Cincinnati. “What do the Yankees need?’ he sald, in answer to a question. ‘“Well, chiefly a southpaw to help out Herb Pennock. Next, a right-handed hitting outfielder who can step up to the plate and sock the left-handers. That isn't casting any aspersions on Whitey Witt, who played fine ball all season long: But I néed 2 man who can be pushed into the line-up and produce if Witt should go into a slump. I certainly | wished T had one in the world series when we had the bases full and Witt coming up. I had to use Bush. As it turned out Joe did the best possible thing by drawing a base on balls. “But I'm not worrying about replace- ments for the Yanks—not thinking much about it yet. Whatever trades are made will be started at the Ameri- i can League meeting in Chicago in De-| cember. For the present we won't do anything. In fact, we may do nothing all winter, for I can afford to stand pat on the Yankees. The catching, pitch-| ing and infleld is O. K., and the out- field needs only the addition I have mentioned.” May Yet Land Jakie May. Huggins sald he had‘given no thought to the case of Carl Mays, who may be waived out of the league be ore April. Huz intimated that he is still “interested in Jakie May. the southpaw star of the Vernon club of | the Pacific Coast League. It i pos-| siblo that May will be the left-hander who will collaborate with Pennock next season. Huggins has great faith also in his two young pitchers, Oscar | Roettger and George Plpgras, These boys are comers, and they wili get more work next season than lagt.” he promised, For_the present the Yanke tain will repose at ease in his Cincinnati, where the eager citizens will wine and dine him at & dinner on November 10. Later Huggins intends to go to Milan, Ind., and play golf a take life 5 the manager of a world champienship team should take life. He so will be at the league meeting in Chicago to meet Col.

John McGraw probably will leave on his Atlantic ocean boat trip No- vember 13. A week over and a week back and two weeks in Europe will compose the McGraw junket. Ife will be back in_ mid-December to attend the National League m ng, and ru- mor hath it that the meeting will see McGH making €ome of the most startling changes in his line-up that a ager ever made. “Watch for a big shake-up in the Giants,” one base 1 obeerver re marked. “This will be the busie winter McGraw has spent in some years, He is going to stick closer thap ever to headquarters, and 1, for one, look for trades_involving some well known Giants. McGraw was dis- pleased by the work of several play- ers in the world series, and probably his_eyes were opened to the real mediocrity of his pitching staff. Some of the athletes have been marked for the auction block. that there won't be many salary In- creases for the Giants this winter.” To all of which McGraw makes no reply, unless it be that he hopes the boat trip will be enjoyable. The Glant manager is not in the habit of tipping his hand. Keliy’s Play Best In Serles. Miller Huggins, by the way, agrees with McGraw in one thing at least— that George Kelly's stop on Ruth's terrific ground smash and his throw to the plate to nip Dugan in the first game constituted the best individual felding play of the world series. “For speed, skiliful fielding, throw- ing and, above all, thinking, that was he star play of them all,” says Miller. was also by a Giant. 1 vef Frenk Frisch, who did wonderful work to catch a hard fly over his head in the first game and then turn in time to catch Ruth at plate. “And the third best play was that of Jom Dugan in the third inning o the second game, when McQuillan bunted and caught him flatfooted Joe rushed in at top speed, scooped ! and threw in one motion and nailed McQuillan, who is a fast man. What a play that was!” Belicve Sisler not Play. George Sisler's chances for getting back into the game next season are not considered bright by local base | ball men, who have been informed! by underground sources that the peerless first baseman’s evesight is s bad as ever. After a distinct im- provement during the summer, Sisler had = relapse, according to this in- formation, and still suffers from dou- ble vision of the worst type.
