Especially about rookies. That is to say, it seems better to reserve final judgment until June, at least, as it has been demonstrated in previous years that the fellows who leok like Cobbs and Jehnsons in March often end up the season in the Three-Eye or some lower league by May. Nearly every major league elub has had its bloomers. The Giants had two notable ones in Jimmy O'Cennell and Wayland Dean, who together cost $125,000 and neither one was worth the least part of it. Dudley Branom fizzled for the Athletics and Paul Easterling joined the bleomer ranks last year while at Detroit. One doésn't have to go any further back than this past March to recall that a number of youngsters who were expected to play Important roles this summer are—well, whe! ¢ s o The season has been under way long enough to offer the cenclusion that Ad Liska, the 22-year-old sub. marine chukker with the Washing- ton Senators, isn't destined to have the tag “bloomer” fastened on him. l RED AND GOLD PLAYS THO - CONTESTS THIS WEEK -—— New Britain High School Baseball Team Meets Bulkeley and Kensington Clubs Two games will be en the Néw Britain high scheol baseball sched- ule as the week comes to an end and it it receives a favorable weath- er break. The first game will Dbe played in Hartford tomerrow after- noon against the Bulkeley high school and the second will be against Kensington in Kensington on Saturday. It is expected that Herman Schmarr will pitch in the Bulkeley game and Stanley Partyka will he given the call in the Kensington contest. 'There is a chance, how- ever, that this order will be rear. ranged. It is expected that “Huggy” Carl- son who received his start with the high school team a few years ago will pitch against his old teammates in the Kensington game, Bulkeley rooters are confident their team will swa.np the New Britain high 'ball tessérs and the team will probably take the fleld On the contrary, Liske seems well on his way to earning the distinc- tion of being the best yeung pitcher to reach the majors this season. At the Tampa, Fla, training base of the Senaters, Liska was pointed t with great pride in March. “There's a young feller that is go- ing to be heard of." the judges of baseball talent said. “He's that . who won 20 and lost four for Minneapolis last season. Pitches un- der-handed all the time because he hurt his arm the other and either had to quit baseball or else throw that way. He looks great.” Manager Walter Johnson, one of the greatest pitchers baseball ever has known, also boosted Liska. “He has impressed me more than any youngster I have seen in years,” he commented. 1t has come to pass that me one was wreng. Or, at least. isn't yet. Liska has pitched almost perfect ball for Washingten. 1In his first three trips out, he allowed only 10 hits in 25 2-3 innings. One of his games was a two-hit affair against Cleveland. He lost that, aund was credited with losses in the two other sames, because the Senators made only one run for him in them. His first victory, even though he didn’t finish the game, was against Detroit. Bill McGowan, veteran American league umpire, was roaring gleetully about Liska after the twe-hit game in Cleveland .McGowan officiated at the game. “That kid has one of the most puzzling deliveries I aver have seen,” e said. “It is hard to get next to. “It's a lot different from the way ' Caurl Mays pitches. Mays sweeps very low in his swing and a batter can follow the ball easily as he seems to hesitate just a little at the bottom oi the swing and then push it in there. Not this Liska. He whips the ball. He doesn't swing low and he hides that ball so nicely that a batter doesn’t see it until it is almost up te the plate. Tt sweeps up and hops. “Joe Bawell has just about the best pair of eyes in baseball. And these eyes. and the fact that he crowds the plate and is a little fel- {1ow, make him hard to pitch to. But !Rewell, as well as the other players, | \were topping ‘em. The infielders get I plenty of work when Liska works. “Liska looks like a great pitcher. Hie delivery has a nice hop and is A fast one. His curve isn't so bad. either. If he keeps hiding that ball the wav he did against Cleveland, no club will beat him easily.
