BEST BALL
Clubs Carry Too Many
Pitchers, Dunn Holds

New York, Nov. 1I-"Every ma
tor league club carried too many
pitchers this year." says James
c. Dunn, owner OF the Indians six
pitchers are enough for any big league
manager. A ball club gets the best
results when the manager works four
good pitchers in rotation and holds
two In reserve"
Dunn favors a player Limit of 20
men. including six pitchers, three cat
chers. six infielders and possibly i've
outfelders. He also is prepared to

Cliff Blankenship May
Succeed Del Howard

Louisville, Nov. H.-Though II has
been frequently denied that Del Ho-
ward Is to retire from the manage
ment OF the Oakland team rumors are
current in San Francisco and Oak
land that Cliff Blankenship, former
manager of the Salt Lake team is
destined to guide the destinies of
Oakland next season. BIankenship
is now conducting a billiard hall and
bowling alley in San Francisco, but
he still has a hankering to "yank" a
pitcher or clash with the Jumps"
and it would not be surprising to see
him edge in somewhere. but 1t is
almost a certainly that it will not be
Oakland.

I'm a golfer-and a southpaw-though
perhaps you Will insist
That in making such a statement /
am giving Truth a twist;
But forget that feature OF it-ten me
why the wreath of Fame
Still avoids the lonely southpaw in
this grand old Scottish game.
Look at tennis and at baseball-note
the names that lead the rest
You will find left-handed entries there
upon the very crest:
But the golfer who's a southpaw new
er figures in the dope.
He's on outcast ana a duffer and a
dub bereft Of hope.
Now. don't tell us to change over
that is every pros advice,
And not worthy of a stanza from the
pen Of DR.. Rice;
But some day, when you're not busy,
search the records for the name
OF a good left-handed golfer who can
really play the game.

Though the run of most left-handers
has a record something fierce,
One of those who once stopped Evans
was a southpaw known as Pearce.
The On-side BarrIcade-
The inability of left-handed golfers
to average up is a freak turn, TO put
il mildly.
Look at baseball-Cobb. Speaker
Collins, Jackson, Baker, Crawford,
Roush, Sisler-prsctically all the head
line hitters operate from the south
ern port.
Yet golf has no left-handed profes-
sional that we ever heard of, and no
left-hander good enough to even figure
close to a championship turn. Just
why this bizarre circumstance should
be has never been explained, despite
the large number of words spilled
athwart the discussion.
About the Same.
An army statistician has discover
ed. after interviewing various MILL
tary chiefs. that the best soldier age
is around IS or 26. This age has been
found to average better than young
er or an older span, despite various
exceptions of note.
The same statistics cover baseball.

greater amount than any other city
or town in the state. The funds
have been deposited in bank and
held subject to receipt of the big
subscriptions from the several min
ing companies which will come in
the regular order of business with
