This is proved each year in the big tournaments, in Which some comparatively unknown youngster often shows the way to veteran stars. oe Two or three years ago Gene Barazen was little known. Today he is the national champion, one of the Most talked about individuals in the game. Casting a shadow that threatens at any time to crowd out Sarazen is Johnny Farrell of New York, touted by many experts as a coming omens 4 ‘There is no Masia the fact that ft is getting more difficult all the “ge to put over a win in some big #urnament. The competition is so keen, and the ficids so large and classy, that the favorites seldom run true to form. . Recently 1 was discussing tourna- Ment play with those two famous pros, Jock Hutchison and Mike Brady. Both agreed that it is far More difficult to win a big event to- day than it was five years ago, eee “Ten years ago if a player turned fn a 200 card he figured he had a great chance to win,” remarked Mike Brady, Western open cham. pion. “Today 300 will probably get him fn the money, but never reads much, like first honors. A player needs about 290 for 72 holes to feel Teasonably safe. It is ‘even more difficult, to win in the West than the East. For some reason lower scores are made on the Western courses. Possibly he 1s the condition of the courses that spelis the difference.” Both Hutchison and @rady feel | that the class of golf will continue to| improve, and that 10 years from to. day a player won't feel very safe with even a 280 for 72 holes. The two veterans feel that golf iq still in its Infancy tm the United States, regardless of the progress that has been made in the last 10 years, Slow Ball in Vogue This Year LREADY from Southern ing camps is being wafted the news about the peculiar deliveries that some of the recruits are putting on display, as well as new styfés being developed by the veterans. Big league pitchers are all working on the theory that the lively ball ts to be continued in the majors, It curves alone will not get by with the Hvely ball, A change of pace, a slow ball, or some puzzling delivery like the only ordinary speed, is now abao- jutely necessary for success as a big league pitcher, Last season Joe Bush, with his fork ball, which ts merely a slow ball that drops like a spitter, made a most sensational comeback. Bush was once a fast ball pitcher exclu- sively. An injured arm put him out of the running. He spent two years perfecting a slow ball and last year Was one of the most effective pitch- ers in the American league. Eddie Rommel of the Athletics won 27 games with ® neventh place team. While Rommel has every- thing, including great control, knuckle or finger-nail ball is his best daset. The lively ball has created an era of swat, every player is taking a healthy swing. Speed ie made to order for such a style, while a slow ball is most disconcerting. Tt has become evident to major league managers and pitchers that ability to mix them up is most neces. sary. That fs why all pitchers in the training camps are working on un- usual styles, hoping to develop a de- livery that is different, thereby add- ing greatly to their effectiveness. Pitching runs in cy¢les, The com- ing season It seems as If the slow ball was sure to get a big play.

MANY STARS RUINED BY CRAZE home-run ¢raze does not fit ball 1E the stroke of all players. managers have paid that many batters have ruined their value as batters Tbr the dedire to get & toehold and sock it out of the lot. One of the first moves to be made by Art Fletcher as the new manager of the Phillies is to change the stride of Frank Parkinson, bis second base: man. Possessaing a pair of broad shoulderr, Parkinson had an idea that he could knock them as far ws Babe Ruth, Kenny Williams, Bob Mouse! and others. There were times when Parkinson connected, but then again tho strike: out record tn the National league for 1922 tells the story of Parkin. son's home-run sewing. He created a National league record for strike: outs when he whiffed 93 times. Altho Parkinson was in the fence busting class occasionally, getting 18 six triples and 15 home runs, he failed ts scor. many run- ners from third for the Phillies be- cause he went down on strikes. “Here's a youngster who has the making of n great ball player,” re- league TO HIT HOMERS | marked Fletcher, I didn’t want to tell him the mistake he was making last spason because I wasn't the manager, but it will be different now, “There are times when a single Is better than a home run. I watched Parkinson as a batter and he never changed his stance. Whether he started or bad two strikes tt was one way— a tight grip right at the end of ide handle. “I can truthfully say that not once jin my career did I ever go up to the plate with the desire to pole a home run. I crowded the edge of the plate, choked the bat almost in half and made the pitcher put ‘em over, I guess I got to first by being hit more than any other batter. There are types for everything. “It ts diffent with fellows Ike Babe Ruth, Cy Williams, Kenny Williams, Rogers Hornaby and those birds. Not for Parkinson, however.” Parkinson created another Na- tional league record last senson, set- ting a high mark for assists with 565 at second base.

FARRELL & | terday's game, EW YORK, March 19,—Both major leagues will be under way this time next month.

The Cubs might jcome thru as a dark,horse and they might even beat out the Cards. John MeGraw’s known ability to keep his New York Giants from get- ting puffed under the hat band over their success will prevent the Nation- a1 league champions suffering from the effects of two pennant winnings. The Giants are a great “money club” and altho they may not be stronger than they were last, year, they are not weaker, The pitching staff might bother McGraw some, but he juggled his misfits around with such akiil last reason that he ought to be able to do the vame thing this year, if the necs- sity arines.

Just about a year ago, it was al- most impossible to get good cards without hiring Dempsey or Benny Leonard on one of the bills, but there good matches now in practically Johnny Kilbane and Eugene Criqul, the French champion of Burope, Is A first class featherweight attraction, Jimmy Wilde and Pancho Villa would provide a whammer in the flywelght division.

Dempsey would havo the scalpers motting three times the face value of tickets if he fought anyone. Despite the announced antipathy of the boxing commission toward any match involving the heavy.

With the excep- tion of the open. wy ing tilt, to fea ture the colored Z£ 145 - pounders, oung Battling Si&i and Spark Plug White, the card tx built of bantams and lightweights, Austin & Salt scored a real coup in rematching Vic Foley, Canadian and Northwest bantamweight cham: pion, and Dandy Dillon, late of Min. neapolis, in the six-round event. Foley outpointed Dillon in their initial clash a couple of weeks ago; but the Easterner’s showing in that bout and in his subsequent mix with Georgie Lee clearly established his right to a return go, Foley ts the harder puncher. Dil- lon matches him in cleverness and speed and has an edge in experience. While Foley, thru his former victory, will rule as favorite; the men are so evenly matched that fans are look- ing forward to one of the most in- teresting bouts that has featured midget performers in a long time. Joe Black will make his first local appearance since last summer when he tangles with Johnny Fugate in the six-round semi-windup.

There is Branch Rickey, who was baseball coach for the University of Michigan long before he became manager of the Cardinals, and a hobby with Rickey~ls college ball players. A brief sketch over his career shows that he does not believe the bridge between the college field and the major league circuit Is too long to cover, On the 1923 Cardinals are found Pitcher Dyer of the University of Texas, Pitcher Stuart of Ohio State and Catcher Harry MeCurdy of the University of Ulinois, Catcher Harry Viek, with the University of Tllinots last season, snared by Rickey last summer, has just been farmed to a minor league club by Rickey. Johnny Lavan, a big league short- stop for 10 years, now with the Car- dinals, was with Rickey at the Unt- versity of Michigan, And let us not overlook the distinguished George Sisler, who hopped from the Miohi- gan frat houses to the American league. Farther back, there is Der- rill Pratt, who agreed to join the St, Louls Browns while attending the University of Alabama, Prnest Koob, a kid southpaw, who was a sensation for two years in the American league, was plucked by Rickey from Kalamazoo university, Wayno Wright, at prosent a member of the St. Louis Browns’ staff, was found by Riskey at Ohlo State when he was business manager of the Browns in 1916, While ah longue phenoms also «row in minor league fields Rickey is one big league manager who does not lot his eyes miss the collegiate torritory, “| will swing every bit as mean a war Jacobs, Gar dner and Gregg Will Lead Way [Veteran Deceivers Will Win.

LASSEN Aa’ FRANCISCO, March 19.—San Francisco will be in the Coast league race this year even if the peerless Wille Kamm is missing from. the lineup, and Tim Hendryx club against Coast league pitchers as Jimmy O'Connell ever did. The Seals will be in the pennant race for the simple reason that they have one of the greatest pitching staffs ever assembled on a minor | league club. ‘Take such men as Jim Scott, Pat Shea, Doug McWheeney, Oliver Mitchell, Harry Courtney, Shovell Hodge, Bob Geary and Lefty Allen for a pitching staff, and there is plenty of class. Scott, in particular, looks wonderfully well this spring. The Seals went thru the motions for the first time this season on the Frisco lot Saturday against the Olympic club and managed to beat the club men, 7 to I, Courtney and Hodge worked on the mound in pretty style. HENDRYX IS MEAN HITTER Hendryx is a husky individual who will bang out a lot of base hits for the boys this season, He fs a right- handed sticker and takes a terrific cut at the ball, He is still a little overweight, but he moves around plenty fast for a man who socks the pill like he does. The Seals will be in the race too, because they have one of the best catching staffs in the minors in Sam Agnew and Archie Yelle, and because they will present the strongest com- bination in the league around the Keystone sack in Hal Rhyne and Pete Kilduff. This pair was easily the best in the league last year and they looked every bit as spry as ever out there Saturday, Rhyne shows promise of develop- ing into one of the great stars of baseball ff he improves this season as he should.
