Casey dis t papers were drawn up in despatching him westward, so hung around Boston: reported for practice every day, and has visions of winning the case he now. has before the national commission. Leonard hails from California. His Drother filled a brief engagement With Connie Mack’s Athletics two years ago. Leonard was the best looking juvenile on duty at the Spa last spring and thi city entertained four big league out fits, in addition to the Denver Grizzlles. Leonard- operated- part of the way in w0 of the spring scraps with the Phil- lies, and, while he showed a good curve and nice speed for a southpaw, was very green in his work, giving the Quakers big leads on the sacks and showing none too good judgment in what he dished up, Leondrd's work on the whole, however, pleased Stahl and the Boston skinver stated that the Kid was bound -to develop into a win- ner. His work for Denver was bril- liant. Then, it was mainly due to his clever boxwork that the Grizzlies, al- though the long shot in the betling, trimmeda Minneapolis in the post sea- son series between the pennant win- ners of the Western league and Ameri- can association. Treasurer Bob McRoy of the Red Sox, who is spending his vacation at the Spa, States that Leonard showed | s0 much’ for Denver that he will again be a member of the Boston training | party next March and that the betting is at least even money that the juvenile sticks this time. “That's all we want | in the way of new pitchers,” declared | McRoy in the rotunda of the Arlington | hotel "the other evening at | Springs; Ark. “We look for Leonard to deliver, and, if he does, and granting that Collins, Bedient and O'Briep are there as strong a$ this year In helping out Joe Wood, our pitching staff will be the ideal one. Not forgetting Char- ley Hall, as good a relief pitcher as there is in the game, we will have a wonderful corps if Leonard shows the development we are expecting. Not only will the staff be a star one, but it ‘will be built entirely of juveniles,which will ada all the more to its volume.” Thus far the proposed series of games in March between the Red Sox and the Pittsburg Pirates has not been clinched. However, as the champlons have thrown their chapeau into the circle jt seems from this distance that Fred Clarke can scarcely do otherwise than accept the defi, as he and his warrlors have everything to gzain by the games and It means the earning of a buxom bank roll for his employer, B. | Dreyfuss.

He adds thal both MeAleer and Stahl want to see the games booked. However, Dreyfuss has yet to put his 0.

The honorable business men's league wants the games, as it should mean added busimes during March. Joe | Corrington and the other hotel mana- | gers are also desirous to see the pro- | gramme put over the pan, as it is | bound, to be a boom to their game. The | bugs, to a man, want the shows, and so do the early arrival§ among the winter tourists. If the armies of Stahl |and Clarke go to war next March it | will mean immense money for both | clubs, as well as the niftiest sort of | practice. The series would be bound to attract attention the country over and as the bic league-teams move north in early April it is a sure thing that every rooter in the state would run into the Spa for the Saturday and Sunday frolics. Then, the business men's league can be relied upon to aid the baseball folks in having the rail- ways boost the attraction and with towns like St. Louis and Kansas City only a night's ride away, and with Memphis, Little Rock and those sort of places close at hand, there is really no limit to the gates the two starry outfits will play to—if Colonel Drey- fuss accepts the Boston clubs' de WOOD AND JOHNSO ALLOW FEW HOMERS. The American League Smoke Ball Shooters Do Not Loosen Up for Cir- cuit Clouts Very Often, It is hard enough to get base hits off Walter Johnson and Joe Wood and almost an impossibility to procure home runs off them. This last fact is driven home through inspection of the American league four bagger rec- ords of 1912, such inspection showing that each great box man had only two circuit drives made off his last season. Harry Lord, of the Chi- cago White Sox, should feel proud of himself when he learns that he was the only American league player to get homers off these two stars of the touched Smoky Joe for a hit for the grand tour on June 16. . Ping Bodie made the other homer off Johnson, and Frank Baker the other four bagger oft Wood, the dates on which these historic hits were man- ufactured being May 8 and October 3. smasher off Johnson came i the same game, a game, by the way, in which he was knocked out of the box. John- son must have had considerable speed, for prior to the time he was driven to Tannehill's arm by hitting him with a pitched ball. Other star pitchers did not possess the skill (or luck) that Johnson and Wood showed in preventing the man- | ufacture of home runs. Russell Ford, | for example, yielded ten hits for the | ful distance, two of which were pro- | cured by Tris Speaker, winner of the | Chalmers car-voted fo him as the | American leasue's most valuable play- jer.- Ed Walsh was located for six homers,- Speaker getting one such hit off the spitball expert and winning a game with it.
