STAR PITCHERS

BY Jack NeioCk.

NEW YORK. May 17.-There are
quit few pitchers in the big

ners II they were only tied up with
some of the stronger clubs.
Take a pitching staff composed of
Leslie Bush. of the Athletics; AL
MamauX, or the Pirates; Dave
Davenport, of the Browns; Bert
Gallia, of the Senator's; Fred Toney.
Of the Reds; Bill Doak, Of the Car
dinals. and Jim Vaughn of the
Cubs, and let them labor with a
club like the Red Sox. Giants or
Tigers behind them. What kind of
staff do you suppose these hurl-
ers would make? Crackerjack
That's our guess.
Evey twirler named here has
natural pitching ability. Every one
of them can give the best clubs in
the big leagues a battle on the
mound, and all of them lost many
close games because. as a rule, the
teams they are with are not consist
ent run-getters behind them.
There isn't a manager in either
big league who wouldn't be proud
Of a staff like the one named here.
for although Jim Vaughn is the only
southpaw. the righthanders all have
class, and they would be consistent
winners with a strong offensive
team.
Bush and Mamaux are the bright
est stars Of the bunch. The latter
won a total of 21 games for the
Pirates last year, while Bush lost "a

But put the Giants, Red Sox or
Tigers behind either of there twirl-
ers and they would win a great

wouldn't drop so many heart break

against inferior pitching, as they

SALE HELPS MERKLE
Fred Is Benefited by Deal Taking

The sale Of Fred Merkle 20 the
Cubs by Brooklyn is looked upon as
a boon 10 the former Giant first
sacker. As a member of the Dodgers
Merkle decorated the bench as long
as Jake Daubert was able 10 be in
the game. and no first class ball play
er can be contented spending a sea-
son on the long timber.
Merkle was a mighty good buy for
the Cubs. too. His presence in the
Chicago lineup will increase the
hitting C the club and add snap
and ginger TO the work in the field.
II was a fortunate thing for Chicago
that a player Of MerKle's caliber was
available at time when the Cub in
field combination was wrecked by
Saier's injury. And there is little
doubt that Merkle will be an i'm
provement over SAFER.
