SPORTS. Pittsburgh Pirates’ Pitching Staff Is Declared to Possess Unusual Power DOE FINE PITCHING IN NEXT CAMPAIGN Wood Regarded Promising Southpaw——0ther Hurlers Considered Clever. BY JOBN B. FOSTER. Yanks Will Train At Huggins Field NEW YORK, December 19 (#).— ‘The New York Yankees are to have a constant reminder of their late manager, Miller Huggins, during their Spring training season at St. Petersburg, Fla. Word was received yesterday that the park at which they train, for- merly Crescent Park, has been re- named Miller Huggins Field. In addition to training his team there each Spring, Hui lived at St. Petersburg and owned consider- able property there. 'EW YORK, December 19. One of the major league managers, expressing his opinion as to what may happen in the base ball race in 1931, observed that Pittsburgh has a pitching staff that is potentially the strongest in base ball. This manager had been watching ‘Wood of Wichita all during the 1930 season, and when he found that Pitts- burgh had a hammer lock on Wichita players he was sore at heart. He says Wood is the coming left-hand pitcher of the National League. The Glants thought they had a coming left-hander in Bill Walker, and it is not sure that may not arrive even yet. ‘The failure of Walker to succeed may be one of the reasons why Dick Kinsella failed to remain with the New York Club as a scout, because a large outlay ‘was made for Walker. Has Flock of Hurlers. Por pitchers Pittsburgh has Bednar, who also was with Wichita and who also 18 good: Brame, French, Grant, Kremer, Swetonic, Willoughby and Wood. There are some younger pitchers, too, but those who have been named are play- ers of a fixed value. It Wood continues to improve he should pair up with French as a prob- able winner and between them they can dole out all the left-hand pitching that any team needs. French should be bet- ter this year than he was last. The set- back thathegotin 1929, when he was ill, had to be overcome in 1930. He was given enough work last season, but he did not always get the best batting support. Grant has been brought over from Rochester. International League man- agers seem to think that he will pull through. It is Swetonic who is most praised by outside managers. He had just started in 1930 when he was overtaken by ill- ness and was practically lost to the team all season. When he was able to play again he seemed not to have lost any of his skill. If he starts the coming season and his strength is good, he will be apt to forge to the front as a win- ! ear. ‘Willoughby Good Prospect. ‘Willoughby finished well with the Phillies in 1920 and in 1930 he was of Do use to them. He simply couldn't fmprove. Pittsburgh took him over in the trade by which they obtained ‘Thevenow, and there are base ball men who have a notion that Willoughby will | - @0ome popping into the front of the stage one of these days. He is strong and | has pitching qualities, but can't con- trol the ball. Control can be learned. Barney Dreyfus, owner of the Pirates, believes he has a good pitching staff, the best outfield in the league, and a better infield than he had last year with the addition of Thevenow. TECH GRIDIRONERS HONORED AT FETE Rev. Councilor Pays Tribute to High School Champions and to the Game. “Tt is the squad we are honoring, not #he individual player or players,” said Rev. Homer J Councilor of Calvary Baptist Church, the principal speaker at the dinner given in honor of the 1930 Tech High foot ball team, public high champion, last night at McKinley. The function was given by the alumni “T” Club. It was the largest grid dinner in the school's history, more than 200 being present. ““Those subs, those boys who keep the * bench from flying out there on the field Dr. Councilor characterized the foot ball ‘fleld as the greatest school of ethics. Elmer Hardell, Tech coach, who was :::enw with remembrances by mem- of the squad, also emphasized the value of athletic training. He called the sports columns of the modern news- pever the cleanest part of the paper. rdell said he hoped to have 100 on the McKinley grid squad next fall. There were 54 on this season’s squad. Henry Lepper, president of the Alum- Bi “T” Club, was toastmaster and the other speakers included H. C. (Curly) Byrd, University of Maryland director of athletics; Assistant Coach Warren Spencer, Capt. Sydney Kolker, Louis (Uncle Louis) Mattern, Maj. David Brewster of the Marine Corps and J. Kip Edwards. Music was furnished oy the music department of the school un- | der direction of Miss Florence Keene and Mrs. Bella Thompson.

Kolker, Jack Rhodes, Ralph Bell, Alfred Reichman, Samuel Lank, Jack Baxter, Luther Goldman, Allison Mei- keljohn, Steve Hatos, George Wohl- | farth, John Gormley, Richard Nelson, | George pehe Bachs and Carleton Edwards and Manager Paul Bobbitt.
