TENNEY SAYS PLAYER
NEEDS ONLY TWO BATS

1.-TWO good bats IL about all any
player Of today needs" said veteran
Tenney. HE wants one heavy one
to use when he is up to slug the ball.
and q light one for use at other times.
He needs the heavy and light one
also to change of with every once
in awhile so as to change his swing
at the ball. A man who uses heavy
bat constantly gets, in time, so he
swings too late on ball, especially II
the pitcher is using much speed. Then
a switch to the lighter one will help
him greatly in accelerating his swing.
The same is true again Of the man
who constantly Yields light stick
he gets to swinging too soon on the
ball, especially when he is being fed
curves or change Of pace good deal:
then the change to the heavy club
will help him get in his stride again.
AFTER a player has been using one
bat for q long time and finds that it
suits him exactly he cannot get along
without 1t. If 1t is broken 1t seems he
has lost a friend, and he may take a
big slump in his stick work, which
will not get started again until he ex-
periments and experiments with other
clubs. Finally he finds bat like the
broken one, one capable Of filing its
place" ::

CUBS SLAB STAR TURNED
MISFORTUNE INTO ASSET

Mordecai Brown, pitcher Of the
Cubs, and one of the most effective
men who ever occupied tho position
OF twirler, has overcome obstacles
that would make most ball players
hesitate before undertaking them. He
started out to be a pitcher minus his
forennger of the right hand. It is this
that gave him the name Of "Three-
Fingered" Brown. The most dinlcult
thing he had to master was control
Steady practise has made Brown an
absolute wonder in the matter Of con.
trol. It 10 now his long suit. Great
oatohers like Johnny" King, who
have stood in front Of Brown, say
they know almost to q certainty JUST
whore the ball IL coming. He throws
the ball in Q groove right where the
backstop signals. It IL this super.
quality he possesses that makes tho
"Three-F1ngered" star the terror of
Ill batsmen.
The absence Of his finger enables
Brown to throw q tremendous curve
ball. It comes with q sweep and
break that literally dazzles a batter
who has never faced him. Because of
the injury In his youth that deprived
him Of his finger. those which were
spared him are stronger and more
flexible than the digits of ordinary
pitchers. In fact, he has made his
misfortune an absolute asset.

The Springfield club Of the Three

President Kinsella Of the Sprinfleld

that the Cardinals were to pay $1,000
for Bell II they decided to keep him.
Bresnahan came to the conclusion
that he could get along without the

pitcher in the list.
The Springfield club has been a
school for some Of the present stars

that any baseball player who has any

trial does more toward winning q
game than the one who makes 20

Y0UKGSTER MADE CAPTAIN OF THE SOX
Zelder Selected by Manager
Duffy to Lead Comiskey's
Team on the Field.

It 10 not often that q recruit IL made
captain Of q big league baseball club.
but that 10 what Manager Duffy has
done In tho case Of Zeider, his second

q couple of games when Duffy an.
nounced that Zeider would be the
field leader of tho White Sox.
With Duffy, guiding the team from
the bench and Comtskey always alert.
Zeider will find his position easy.
though he will be called upon often
enough to use his brain and do some
of the quick thinking for which he
was famous out on the Pacific coast
where he was discovered by the Sox.
Zieder 10 a fast player and has al.
ways shown, to the satisfaction of
Manager Duffy, that h6 knows Z
whole lot about inside baseball"
Zeider should prove a valuable man
to bat second for the Sox for he has
shown that he Is good at sacrificing
q runner who gets on bases ahead Of
him.
It has been the "inside" work o1
Evers and Tinker of the Cubs that
always made them dangerous at sec
ond base. There probably is NO city
in the big leagues that has two teams
where there IL such rivalry as in Chi
cago. When It comes to baseball the
lines are drawn as tight AZ they were
between the North and South in wal
times. But in Chicago it is the West

wear myself down early in the season.
and to come strong toward the finish
when games count more. and to drive
harder in games that are important
than in others, and to ease up and
save myself after q game Is safely

instead will attend to those duties
