fears were groundIess. The world
tourist ball players seem to have been
benefited by their jaunt through for.
eign lands, instead of harmed by the
continuous ball playing.
Hughie, early in the spring, felt
sure that the continuous playing
would put the dinger on the efforts
of the stars during the regular 1914
season. And early in the season it
did look as if Hughie was right, be-
cause some of the players who were
on the tour were far below their nor
NAL form. But they have rounded to
and now are breezing along at even
a faster clip than in other years.
Iris Speaker, of the Red Sox, got
away to bad start this year in the
batting line, but about month ago
he began clubbing them out with al
his old-time skill. and Iris now is
well over the 300 mark The same is
true of Larry Doyle, of the Giants.
Larry 1oundered along for the first
six weeks, but since then has been

bors for Jennings, is batting over his

style and running bases like a ten

sacks against 10 or so for the entire
1913 season. oam has been around
the $50 mark in batting all season
against an average of .316 for last
year. .".". --
Probably the most surprising i'm
provement has been shown by Steve
Evans, the comedian outfielder. When
Steve left with the tourists it was re-
ported that the St Louis Cardinal
would shunt him off to minor league
when he got back. .-.s....

Dick Egan of the Dodgers and
Lefty Leverenz, the st. Louis
Browns pitcher. are the only two play
ers who have gone back since touring.
LeVerenz seems to have lost his last
years effectiveness in the box.
Whether this is due to the effects of
the trip or is just a natural slump
that comes sooner or later to every /
pitcher, is question. Leyerenz be- !
ljeves it is the latter and THAT before
the season is much older he will be
