A—14 K From the Press Box Ouija Board Shuffles Hurlers for Blades By JOHN LARDNER, Special Correspondent of The Star. NEW YORK, April 2¢ (NANA). —Put yourself in the shees of a big league manager (without bothering to change your socks; this is just for & minute). What would you do in e case like this? You are two runs behind in an early inning, your starting pitcher having just walked three men in a row to force in the second run. The bases being full, with nobody out, you send your starter to the showers and call in another pitcher. He performs the remarkable feat of re- tiring the side without a further score—owe pop foul, one double play. This second pitcher goes through the next two innings unscathed, giv- Ing only one hit. Meanwhile, your own team has been scoring, and the count is now 5 to 2 in your favor in the sixth inning. Your pitcher begins his sixth in- ning duties by yielding two con- secutive two-base hits, for one run. The score becomes 5 to 3, and there is a man on second with none out| and the bottom of the batting order coming up. Blades’ System Unique In Modern Baseball What ‘would you do? Would you yank the pitcher? Or would you leave him in there? I think 9 out of 10 managers would leave him in there, especially if (as in this case) he’s a good man. But Ray Blades of the St. Louis Car- dinals didn’t even hesitate the other day. He yanked the pitcher—Max Lanier—and furthermore, he used | three additional pitchers before the ball game was over, with the Cards| beating the Chicago Cubs, 5 to 4. That is the Blades system, umque{ in present-day baseball and, as _far as I know, in baseball of any period. Blades doesn't wait for trouble to happen. Four or five pitchers is a good day’'s average with him, even in winning, and those pitchers will be the best he has. He doesn't hesitate t6 throw his ace in there in a late inning to pitch to one man and to yank his ace at the start of the next inning in favor of an- other pitcher. ffey There is something to be said in | favor of this system. When danger | threatens, there always is a fresh | man throwing his fast ball or his| curve, as the case may be, to head | it off. Working only two or three | Innings & day, these fellows are ready for daily or at least thrice- weekly duty. Scheme Might Shatter Pitcher's Morale On the other hand, the system has its drawbacks. If it were flaw- | less, every cne else would be using | it, while the fact is that nnbodyi else does. | It makes it impossible for the manager to construct a regulari routine for his starting pitchers. It| may destroy the confidence of cer- | tain pitchers to be hauled out of there when they think they are doing all right. And—foremost—the manager exposes himself to chance. The more guesses you make, the more often youll be wrong. The | more bets you make the more you | can lose. That is why most base- | ball managers—and most gamblers | —prefer to stake their chips on one | proven combination, to stand or fall | with in. ¥ | I'm not discussing the case simply because Young Lanier was this de- | partment’s choice for rookie-of-the | year. After all, Lanier got credit | for winning the ball game, and de- servedly. At this rate of exchange, | He’'ll win many another, though, of course, he’ll lose a lot of them too. But the question is, can pitchers who are in there for a short stint| every other day, as Cooper, Lanier,} McGee, Bowman, and Davis are apt to be for the Cardinals, ever realize their full value as pitchers? No Spirit of Cri In Blades’ Shuffles For the dyed-in-the-wool relief men, like Jack Russell and Dusty Shoun, it's another matter. But the men I speak of are starting| pitchers by designation. No pitcher in history ever went the route every | time without allowing an occasional | run, without getting into tight spots. For most, this is the signal to bear down, to win if they can. For Cooper, Lanier, McGee, and Bow- man, it means the showers. And with no offense intended. Blades repeatedly has told his hurl- ers that he does not yank them in a spirit of criticism. He merely is playing the game his own way. If they are satisfied and learn to do their best pitching under such circumstances, that's fine. If not, we Cardinal rooters may not get the pennant we were Sort of expecting.‘ I can't say Bladfs didn’'t warn us. | “I've got some good pitchers, and | I'm going to use them plenty,” he told me last month. “They’re no good to me on the bench. The secret of winning in baseball is to have the right pitcher out there in the box at ihe right time.” Maybe so, aybe so. I only hope that Raymonhd is consulting the right kind of ouija-board.

Fisher Ace on Mound Conquering Tigers; Raiders Game Trim Roosevelt in 10th; Lincoln Parkers Show Power Beating Tech By ROBERT HENRY. Central, Western and Eastern were riding atop the interhigh base- ball heap today as Tech dropped from first place and Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson moaned in the cel- lar. All except Central had reason to worry as weaknesses cropped up. In winning from Wilson, 12 to 0, at Central yesterday. Central ap- | peared safe for some time to come. The defending champions, evidently stronger than last year, need not be apprehensive as long as Billy Fisher is on the mound. All Billy did yesterday was hold Wilson to three hits and fan 15, to inflict on the Tigers their second straight interhigh shutout, Buddy Webb of Tech having blanked them last week. However, while Western had trouble beating Roosevelt in 10 in- nings, 6 to 5, the Red Raiders ap- peared likely to improve. Eastern, winner over Tech, 6 to 3, faces Cen- tral next Tuesday in what should be one of the series’ best games. Cen-" tral last year beat Eastern in the playoff for the title. Western displayed plenty of moxie in overcoming Roosevelt in the last four innings. Coach CIliff Moore, who has all but four lettermen pres- ent from last year, was pleased over the showing of his boys in spite of several errors. Nance O. K. on Mound. Moore started his best pitcher, Carmel Nance, and that veteran left hander came through in fine style, striking out 11 and giving as many fairly scattered hits. Ready to relieve Nance were Joe Nimmon and Johnny Burke. In the infield were Bob Leach, | heavy hitting first baseman; Bobby | Cockrell, a new and promising sec= ond sacker; Hal Mitchell, veteran and clever shortstop. and Jimmy Karas, a first year third baseman and like Mitchell a basket ball star. All showed to advantage. The catching was handled capably by Ted Bright, who took the place left vacant by Jake Hilleary. Bright gave Pitcher Nance plenty of pep talks and belied his frail appearance with a display of excellent throwing. Patroling the outfield were two rookies and one veteran and while the stands in right field made play- ing of that position difficult, Byron “Dutch” Trunnell, last year’s reg- ular, handled it well. Bernie Cady in center and Joe Withers in left had trouble at first, but settled down. Both should hang on to their newly | won jobs. The game was a pitching duel | throughout, both Nance and husky Eddie Vermiliion of Roosevelt show- ing lots of stuff. Nance, however, had slightly the better of it and de- served to win. A bad throw to first by Karas with Bright on second al- lowed the winning run to score. Withers seemed an easy last out on his roller to the Riders’ second base- man, but Tom Howard could not quite handle Karas's throw and | Bright scampered home. R'velt. AB.H.O.A.

Gettlng back to Central and Fish- er, who was the day's star, it will require a clever team to beat‘the Vikings. The power they showed three weeks ago against Briarley Military Academy, when they won, 24 to 0, in five innings, was not a fluke evidently. The praise Coach Jack Ray has showered on his nine this spring will be justified if his boys continue at their present pace. While Fisher was mowing down the enemy in big league style, his | mates rose up in the early innings to win the game. Nine runs were scored in the second, third and fourth frames, topped by successive homers in the third by Stuffy Evans and Benny Steiner. Nino Briscuso, Wilson pitcher, was the victim. Fisher gave only one hit up to the ninth, then Bart Fugler and Norman Harry reached him for slightly tainted singles. Central. AB.H.OA. W.

Runners Plan 'Iron’ Stunt af Penn Make 1,600-Mile Jaunt To Run in Two Events Each Day at Carnival By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, April 24—Six speedy young collegians from fast- growing North Texas Teachers' Col- lege are going to play “iron men” Friday and Saturday. Coach Chock Sportsman nounced today he planned to enter the sextette in the carnival’s four major relay events—the 440, 880, mile and sprint medley. All in Good Condition. “The kids want to do it and are they can do it all right,” Sports- | man said. “They will run the 440 and sprint medley the first day and the two longer races the sec- ond.” The Texans, who along with New | York University are favored to de- | throne Pittsburgh as Penn cham- pions, looked “pretty good” in their initial workout here yesterday, | Sportsman declared, “considering | ton, Tex.” Star of the Texas contingent— totaling eight in all—is sophomore Welby Williams. The dark, curly- haired youngster hasn't been beaten in six 100-yard dash competitions | so far this spring and twice has turned in ties of 9.6, which ties the Penn record. Williams Will Be Busy. Williams will run in the 440, 880 and probably the sprint medley, | although Sportsman hasn’t selected | the latter team definitely as yet. will be Olvis Hicks, John Jackson and Edward Rogers. James Mc- Daniels, Harvey Bryant, Jackson and | Rogers will run the mile. | The Texans turned in 0.42 flat in |the 440 and 1266 in the 880 in | the Texas relays and 3.17.6 against Rice and Louisiana State for their best marks this season, which starts in Texas March 8.

JERSEY CITY, N.

Hague, Mayor of Jersey City and State Democratic leader, led 50,520 (official count) of the faithful into Roosevelt Stadium—primarily to set & minor league attendance record and incidentally to watch the Jersey City Giants open their International League season with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Crowd Unofficially Put at 40,000 ‘The park seats approximately 30,- 000, but there is plenty of room for those forced to tsand and crane their necks.

Unofficial estimates placed the actual crowd attending at about 40,000. It was the fourth annual opening- day minor league attenduncep;ecofd for Jersey City which also is able to boast the league championship.

Close to 400 Skeet Shooters Expected in Tourney Here Between three and four hundred contestants from the Atlantic sea- board, all the way from New York to Florida, are expected here for the Seventh Annual North-South Skeet Shoot Championships, to be fired at the National Capital Skeet Club May 4and 5. Once again, Vincent Saccardi, sec- retary of the host club, said today, the country’s outstanding shots would attend the local classic, now recognized as second in importance only to the national tournament. The shoot not only carries much weight in national importance, but offers possibly more and handsomer trophies than any shoot of its kind. Firing will take place on both Sat- urday and Sunday, with the .410, junior, 20-gauge and women'’s open championships scheduled for the first day and the open all-gauge and five-man team titles at stake on the second. The course will be open for practice the afternoons of May 1, 2 and 3. Shoot headquarters will be at the Raleigh Hotel. Bowlers From Afar Make Bid Tonight InA. B. C. Event By the Associated Press.
