pions at Sunday After
noon Party Yesterday.

At the opening of the second week
of major league baseball for the sea
son of 1920, the we'll known dope is
suffering from a severe headache,
while Barney Dreyfuss Is wearing u
large smile and dreaming of pennant
and scads OF money at the gate during
the. playing season. The not highly
rated Pirates, according to preseason
dope, have played more games and
won more games than any team in
either league today, playing five and
winning four, Babe" Adams winning
twice during the first five games OF
the season, knocking of the champion
Reds yesterday 81 in a brilliant bat.
tie. The Reds are right behind Pitts
burgh with count of 81, and the re-
suits of today and tomorrow between
the Reds and Pirates will tell the story
whether or not Pittsburgh is to open
the season at home in first place.
The Giants have lost three games
in three starts, being bumped again by
Philadelphia yesterday. BOSTON,
Brooklyn and Philadelphia have each
won two and lost one; st. Louis has
won two and lost three, while Chicago
has dropped four in row.
Chicago and Boston are leading in
the American league with Washington
and Detroit at the Bottom.
This is Patriots Day in couple OF
the New England states, so the New
York Yanks playing at Boston will
engage in two games today, and Ruth
will have two chances to get his first
home run of the season. He had bet
ter do something handsome before he
gets back to New York or the village
band will not feel called upon TO &C
meet him at the station.

Some pitchers don't need n splitter

va delivery that the new rules are
very likely to cause them trouble and
may see their finish in the big time
Walter Johnson is the one star whose
terrific speed has enabled him to ton
all entries without resort to any mood
of freak deliveries. He sympathizes
with the less fortunate brethren of
the mound fraternity. He says:
Il don't see why the rule makers, IL
they believed it best for the game TO
abolish splitter, did not specify that

they remain in the game, but that no

Cleveland. He ia great pitcher be-
cause he has developed the splitter to
a wonderful degree. It is possible
that when he discards 1t he will lose

A fellow who has enough brains to
invent the little tricks that Allan
Sothoron is famous for is smart
enough to produce other foolers.
There are two kinds OF pitchers:
The pitcher with brains and good
arm.
The pitcher with good arm.
Sothoron is one of the first class.
They declare he was winning pitcher
with the Browns because he had so
much trick stuff; that most Of his
repertoire was bluff. Well, granting
his critics are right you must admit
he has brains.
And there is none but that will
swear he has u good arm.
They've taken all his tricks away
from him, but he'll come back with
something else. He is young and his
arm is as good as it ever was. His
brains is better. So just watch for
Allan Sothoron to wind up the season
of 1920 with another good record.
Cleveland opened viciously against
Sothoron in the gateway game. They
hit him hard and often. The Indians
were murderously inclined before a
huge home-crowd that had been talk
ing penrant all winter. And the In
dams look like a team that can ham
mer most any pitchiN5 this year. And
lot of their hits on opening day got
away from some fellow by inches.
They had the breaks on all OF them.
On the other hand, Sothoron didn't
seemed bothered bit by the restric-
ttons on the pitchers imposed in the
winters legislation. He looked uwk-
ward as he held the ball away from
his glove or shirt. He used to be rub.
bling 1t against himself all the time.
But on opening day he carefully took
off his glove and held the ball at arm 8
length when he rubbed it in his hands.
He didn't want to be canned from the
game.
This was all unnatural to him and
probably it made him feel as awkward
as he looked
He says his arm is not quite right
and that he will be as good as ever
When he gets started once.
Il could have used the splitter on
opening day If l had chosen" SAYS
Allan. Manager Burke had permits.
sion from Ban johnson to substitute
me as a spitball pitcher in place of
Gallia.
"But don't use the splitter much.
IT'S only a bluff, same as lot Of
other STUFF I've pretended to use.
