Verly few youngsters are going to better the performances turned in by some of the established stars last y Consider these plucked at ran- dom: Luque of Cincinnati led the National league pitchers in games won and in strikeouts; Carey of the Pirates led bis league in stol- en bases and three baggers: Peck- inpaugh of the Washingtons ac- cepted more chances than any other shortstop in the American league, and was the best sacrifice hitter, Collins of the White Sox, was the best base stealer; Speaker of the Clevelands made more two base hits; Jamieson of the same team made the most hits; Scott of the Yankees led the short- stops in fielding averages and hung up a world record for con- aecutive games; Coveleskie of the Indians was the league's most effective pitcher; Pennock of the Yankees was high pitcher in the percentag: . MclInnis of the Braves made the most sacrifice hits in the Na- tional; Roush of the Reds the most doubles and Williams of the Phillles the most home runs. All of these players are veters ans of many years' service, none will ever see thirty again and several are drifting close to the forties. Yet they still rank with the stars. HAV- Have you noticed the ballyhoo from the spring camps so far this year has been centered on veterans rather than youngsters? y may be due to the fact that no Kamms, O'Connella or Bentleys came up last fall, preceded by purple- clad trumpe.ets and breath-taking stories of enormous purchase prices. “The million dollar beauties, there- fore, ure not basking in the vernal | spotlight.

For the first time in at least five years every major league club is pay- ing particular attention to that feature of play. The old slicing pits ‘that for years have been abandoned are now a part of the daily training routine in the south. Each club has several of the vets adept in the art of sliding, serve as instructors. About a month ago Joh IeGraw, manager of the New York nts, an- nounced that he had signed Armando Marsans, a star in his day as a base runner, toMnstruct the Giant rookies and regulars, . . Possibly the attitude sumed by McGraw relative to e running caused the other managers to fall inta line. Sufice it is to say they are all doing it. . .4 The lively ball has for the time practically ruincd the art of base run- ning. It took the premfum off the onc-run system. Stealing a base is playing for a run, In addition to the lively ball the elimination of tric pitching ulso worked against base running. A fall- ing off in the effectiveness of the pitchers made for hitting, not base running. Get ‘em in clusters, imktead of get- ting them ont at & time, became the slogun in baseball. That system call- ed for brute force at the bat vather than strategy on the bases, Keeping new balls almost constantly in play also made for more hitting, " e 0 When the pitchers reign supreme, the eqy 18 for more hitting.
