CoTey Gives Advice.

Jack Coffey, who used to play short
stop for the Braves and is now man
aging the Denver Grizzlies in the
Western league, announces his ideal
formula for a pennant winning ball
club. Coffey wants seven parts pitch
ing, seven parts hitting, four parts
base running, one part sacrifice hit
ting and one part fielding. While
pitching and sticking have ever been
essential to the winning of pennants,
Coffey apparently holds the fielding
end almost too cheaply. Far more
games have been lost on a wild throw
than have been won by sacrifice hit
