siderably because Of one thing. and
that is the fact that there are at least
three corking left-handed pitchers

pitchers, who viii put a considerable
dent in Ludy's" long swatting this
season. They will work at least eight
games against him, and during that

The Case Of Jake Daubert.
Jake Daubert is. Of course, the class
OF the league as a first baseman.
Whenever / study Daubert, 1 am struck
with a peculiar phenomenon existing
in the National league. Mechanically
it has some marvellous first basemen
but why the dickens aren't they ag-

In good shape, watch this fellow
Daubert He not only is a corking
hitter a swell fielder, and a good in
side man. but he is one Of the grandest
men in the game personally, and all
he needs is McGraw or a Jones to
stir him up to make a lot of first base
men look like pikers. II Daubert were
playing for McGraw. I'd add many
points to his team value
Boston was in the worst condition
until it secured konetchy. Schmidt had
a bad slump last season. and an
nounced his retirement. He never was
a great first baseman-he was kept on
his toes by Stallings, who may accom-.

he does, the Braves infield will sur

not arguing that he is the best first
baseman or the best hitter Put him

that Daubert would be far and away
his superior. But his value to the Phil

them over that short right-field wall

TOM JONES is a hot sketch as

invited all heavyweights to try their

To the Associated Press, he said:

read this and was at the next work
out When Tom made his little
spiel for volunteers, Sam crawled
through the ropes. Willard took a
good look at the black wizard of the
gloves, backed into his corner and
later Jones announced that the color
line was drawn both in workouts
and in real bouts. Good reason, too.
You can guess it.
PIG Jess Willard is a little vain
on the subject of publicity. He
had workout privileges at the
Pioneer A. c. in New York but when
Johnny Dundee began to work out
at the club, following Wizards
exercise, the big fellow said that he'd
quit the club unless he was the only
man to train there. They didn't OBJ
