Manager Jack Burns. of the New

A deal was closed today sending
Barcklow to Pittsfield. Mass, for a

been asked for an official report of the

Billy McConnell's decision and all
bets will have to be decided that
way.

There has been difference in the
pitching shown in the International
League this spring compared with
that of year ago. so marked as to
be phenomenal. In 1912 at this stage
of the race every team in the league
was turning in swats galore with
ten safties per game the minimum.
The pitchers on every club were in
poor condition and the batters Toasted
on everything that came along.
Take the Tigers case, for instance.
The Bengals were walloping out If
teen, eighteen and sometimes more
hits per contest, but their own fling
ers couldn't hold the opposition and
the Tigers got away to a groveling
start.
Every manager in the International
League had his pitchers on the jump
this spring to get into condition, and
on the whole the weather was bet
ter down in Dixie with the result
that the batsmen have suffered on
every team but one, and that club
Is Baltimore. There is no cause for
alarm, however, because the Orioles
always hit hard on the home lot and
slumped when they took the road.
To date, however, the International
League teams have averaged little
better than five hits a game, and
there are very few of those smuggling
and run-making rallies of other
springs.
1t seems that every manager who
piloted an International League club
last year thought to get the jump by
having his pitchers in the best con-
dition to hold the other fellows down
until his sluggers begin to meet the
BALL The fact that the pitchers are
In good shape is evident from the
number of shut outs in the lnterna-
tiona1 League. The Tigers have not
been shut out at this writing, but have
scored one whitewash, credited to
Lee, and in two other games Raleigh
Aitchison has held the opposition TO
one run tallies.
