LASSEN UDGING by what Willie Kamm and Jim O'Connell have done on the Seattle diamond in the past appearances, she pick Kamm as the better major league prospect of the two. Kamm is a better dispositioned player than O'Connell. He is hitting much better than in former years, driving the ball | well,,and there is no comparing the two when it comes to | fielding. the graceful fielders that ever performed in the Far Western loop. He makes hard plays look so easy that they are no’! appreciated. . O'Connell is thé hardest hitter of the two and is faster. But O'Connell doesn’t play with the snap that major league pilots demand. Players, of course, can’t be judged on a single series. In the first three games of the Seattle series, O'Connell looked like anything but the leading hitter in the league. But he can hit, his average speaks for itself. Kamm, with Ed Mulligan as his rival, will have easy going with the Chicago White Sox next spring. Mulligan, when jhe was with the Salt Lake Bees, couldn't compare with Willie. O'Connell, on the other hand, will have ‘a hard fight on He outfield. And with an aggressive leader like John McGraw at the head of the club, O'Connell will have to snap into things more or he will have a hard time sticking in spite of ‘his natural ability. When it comes to real value to a ball club it’s the team man that is by far the most valuable in the long run. Kamm fits into the team work scheme of things better than O'Con- ‘nell, who is more of an individual star. Couple this with | the difference in dispositions and Kamm looks like the better slaves ‘ ok eat levies: Crandait and Baldwin; Sutherland and Fubrman, ~ STAR THAN O°CONNELL Kamm is without a doubt one of the easiest and most | Sisler and Hornsby a Great Pair /Bat Stars Lack “Box Of- fice Color,” but Are Among Greatest of Ail BY BILLY EVANS OGERS HORNSBY, of the 8t Louls Cardinals, is a remark able ball player, As @ matter of fact, In Hornsby and Slaler St, Louis boasts of two of the greatest ball players of all time If there ts one thing that either of | these two stars lacks, it ts color They do their work in @ clean-cut, de. cisive manner, without any great | flourishes. | not get the publicity that the more temperamental stars do, However, if I was & manager, you could give me players of the Sister.

Likewise, by broke the most total bases for th season, with a mark of 378. Naturally, Hornsby hopes to again fead the National league batters, Ho certainly looms up as the one beet bet for that honor, However, since homerun hitting has become the vogue In baseball, Hornsby has ambitions in that direc: en.
