that five years ago they wouldn't stand

It's an interesting angle for TINS rea-

that the small town looks on lite IN

All Of which has nothing to do with the
fact that Camp Donovan DIRE us hrst

between the regulars and the Nanlgans.
The regulars achieved Ictory by the
narrow margin Of 3 to ?, winning on

Wheeler Dell and Smith
Show Well in Try-Outs
Under the Eyes
of Robbie.


Daytona. Fla, March 1O.-To para
phrase, There's many a pitcher born 10
pitch unseen, and waste his cunning
on bush league team" None Of the
tWirlcrs striving for a place with the
Brooklyn Superbas will be turned loose
without a thorough examination under
the eyes OF Jack Coombs and Wilbert
Robinson. Robbie believes that the sue
cess Of the coming campaign depends
upon his discovering a couple Of good
youngsters TO bolster IN his regular
pitching staff. He is going over the
candidates with a microscope and hold
ing lengthy conferences with Coomhs
VINO at present IS coaching all the
twirlerS, and especially the younger
men.
The attention of the advisory board
hes been attracted by the feats o.
Wheezer Dell. who seems TO improve
as he goes along. This afternoon. upon
the suggestion OF Coombs. Dell cut
loose with all he had in stock at tins
season of the year His speed was
terrific, and Mack Wheat, who caught
him, said that his curves we're all that
might be asked of any pitcher.
The best feature Of this lanky Mon
tana boys work was his deceptive
change OF pace. Added 20 this, WAS
the best Of control. When Dell was
finished Coombs made no comment, but
his smile told OF his thoughts. 1t
would seem. even at this early date.
that Dell is booked for the heights.
Coombs apparently thinks well OF
Sherrod Smith; in fact. he was heard
TO say that Smith was one of the best
lefthanders he had seen IN several
years.
This coming from a man who has
been a team mate Of Eddie Plank. and
who has seen the once mighty Rube
Waddell At his best, gives q fair idea
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-03-11

Cardinal is experimenting with two
new curves One. which he calls the
"Nap Rucker," is a right-handed imi-
tation Of the Brooklyn southpaw's IA
nous slow drop.
Perritt gets a fine break on the ball,
but as yet he is having a good deal Of
difficulty in bringing it over the plate.
His other curve Is an in which
breaks almost six inches. If he can
perfect it he will give the left-handed
hitters lot of trouble.
The practical joker was somewhat
late in getting a start this season, but
ne is here. A day or so ago some per
son or persons. unknown, poured
pail of water from the third floor upon
a baseball quartet and visiting plan
list. Last night Larry Mclean, Sandy
Piez and Homer Glass received letters
purporting TO come from McGraw IN
which they were informed that they
would be fined IS each on account of
the water throwing episode. Larry
Mclean is too much of a joker on his
own account TO be taken in, but he
