ABE RUTH, mortals—have that indefinable somethi In the Coast le: SATURDAY M M AY | Walter Mails Is Most Colorful Ball Player in the West — Between Inning BY D, E. DUGDALE LTHO 1 haven't been able to see the Indians play many times this year because of illness that has confined me to my home, !| have been following the do- ings of the Seattle club thru the papers and I'm certainly to see the boys playing good ball for * “Red” Killefer. They tell me that Cliff Brady has been playing fine ball and I knew ‘hat as soon as Sammy Crane got a good second baseman to play alongside of him, many of Seattle’s baseball worries would be over. T've beer following baseball, off! cially and as a fan, for ararly 40 years, and I haven't seen a team yet that got very far without a good pair of men at second base. Your entire defense revolves about this ‘position. i Last year our defense against double steals wag pathetic, but they tell me that Brady has a wonderful | arm and that the double steal is a! ‘most useless for another team to try | now. Brains, clean fielding and a good arm are necessary at second base and Crane and Brady will do much in Keeping Seattle in the race. They | strengthen the pitching and make the whole team steadier. TURN-AROUND HITTERS EFFECTIVE I see where Buzz Arlett is doing and that he ts turning around, bat ting righthanded against southpaws and vice versa. It's a great help to a hitter to be able to turn around as they have the | Opposition pitcher’s curve ball break- | into them instead of away from | Pug used to be just as good bat-| ting either way and he used to make | iced Northwestern league pitchers ree Magee was another Seattle fa- vorite, who could turn around at] the piate. | Pete Schneider, the Vernon slug-) ger, gets good results by doing this, | altho he has more power righthanded. | Frankie Frisch, the New York flash, can turn out, as can Dave Ban- | croft, the Boston Brave infielder. | PITCHERS MUST | DEVELOP CONTROL | It’s doubtful if there is a right- hander in this league with more stuff than George Steuland, from what 1} have heard of him, And the same, goes for Percy Jones among ee southpaws. But neither one of them will evér| get continued results unless they arn to put that ball where they | — want it to go. The trouble is that the pitcher of this type usually tries too hard and puts too much stuff on the ball, get in the hole and then has to come in with a fat one. Grover Alexander and Waiter Johnson, the two miracle men of the majors, have showed what can be done with control. KILLEFER IS WINNING HOME “Red” Killefer is probably the best baseball manager Seattle has ever had, He knows baseball, has his men hustling and playing smart baseball and he has the confidence of the fans. It was the best thing in the world for Seattle when Killefer came here. He's one of the rare exceptions where the manager makes the team, otherwise the general rule being that anybody could win with a great ball club.
