in place Terry in discussing the sys-
| tenn used by Reese declared that the
pain the first five minutes was intense,
| but after that he had no further eff
| fects of the dropping cartilage. Later
! in the year while hunting near Pitts
burg he injured his knee again, and
had to undergo another test of Bone
setter Reese. Since that time he has
had no trouble. In the two days work
outs here he has tested the knee at
all times, and it appears to be strong
er than ever.
Manager Donovan, of the Brooklyn
National league baseball team, has
notified his players that they can not
indulge further in bowling. He
says that bowling tends to develop
underhand pitchers and throwers,
who are little use to ball club. Dono-
van asserts that ball players who
shine during the winter months as
crack tenpin players are usually the
slowest to get their arms in shape in
the spring. Alperman, Mcintyre, Eas-
on and other Brooklyn players who
have been rolling the wooden sphere
regularly since last fall are all COM
planning of a stiffness in their wings.
1t is possible that other managers will
follow Donovan's example.
Lefty" LeiheId is said by the Pitts
burg war correspondents with the
team to have more speed than he
possessed last year, and this will help
him wonderfully. for it was in that
ago. If anything. Lefty is a big,
strong lad, and Manager Clarke is
counting upon him to do some great
work this season. Some fans believe
that he will prove one of the most
consistent winners in the league.
Harry Arndt will never play third
base again for any team, a member
of McCloskey's team writes to an
other player who lives here. "Harry's
a fine fellow and a valuable player in
every department of the game except
throwing. and, of course, that defect
puts him in the ineligible class
Arndt's arm is as bad as it was when
he was forced out of the game last
summer and he was figuring on max
ing a stake for himself and his wife
from his st. Louis salary before he
closed his major league career. He
expected the rest to restore the
strength to his whip, but he could not
make a quick throw if his life depend
ed on it, and,you know, that it re-
quires 'pegging' of the Hostetter kind
to keep inf1elder's job in fast COM
pany. He may make a great base
man of himself, but McCloskey has
a couple of good ones for that job.
Beckley is back, and Baxter. from
Butte. is trying for the sack. Jake
will beat him to it. The vet is aaging
but ne is still respected by pitchers.
Our pitchers are o. K. and we are
stuck on winning from the Browns"
Hal Chase had better hurry up and
sign with the New York Americans
or he will be sorry that he ever made
this unfortunate $500 salary kick!
1t has been demonstrated by Manager
Griffith already that Chase is not the
whole Yankee team after ALL and that
in George Moriarity, Griffith has an
other first baseman who bids fair to
fill Chase's place with a skill that will
have the fans on the Hilltop by the
ears. Moriarity is big-broad-should-
cred, keen-witted young man, W no Is
natural ball player and a coming
star. He knows how to hit, is a swift
runner and an artist at handling
ground balls and flies. Ed Barrow
the former Detroit manager, has been
poclaiming for a long time that Nor
iarity, If played at first base, would
prove wonderful man.
