HEAVY HITTING IN
 TOLEDO'S OUTFIELD

The Toledo team of the American Association is determined to cut some ice in that League this season as Is shown in the signing of Socks Seybold to play the outfield. With Seybold, Hickman and Mccarthy in the outer garden the Mud Hens will have a trio not equalled by any other minor league aggregation. Hickman last season for several weeks clubbed the ball at a 600 gait and finished the season well over the 400 mark. Seybold. until his injury at New Orleans. could clout the ball to the far timbers himself, and he and Hickman should be able to drive holes through the fences around the Toledo grounds. Mccarthy too. is clouter and the Toledo outfield, is ex. this coming season. It is stated that Seybold is to receive the biggest sal ary of any man in the minor leagues.

Australia's recent futile effort to win the heavyweight championship of the world with SGuires did not do that country justicc. as Australia has sent out many fighters of the first water. and men who were born and raised on Australian soil have become cham pions and near champions in many in

 Clark Grinath wonders what ball players would do if the spitball were abolished. The Old Fox says his de- livery furnishes the noble athletes with the bulk of their excuses.

"when he comes to the bench he will say: It was the splitter If a catcher has a passed ball he'u make the same excuse. and to add de- ly wipe the ball on his uniform before returning 1t to the pitcher. When man strikes out. when an outnelder makes a wild throw. the same old gag is heard: It was the spitbaIl.'

They cannot ac- count for the way 1t breaks and 1t has them guessing. 1 look for the spitbaII to die a natural death in time.
