AS TO WHAT is

Some Base Hopes on Pitching and
Others Count Strength in

BY HENRY L. FARRELL.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, April 23.-Wise heads
of baseball differ on the respective
value Of batting and pitching.
Pat Moran. one of the brainiest
men in baseball, prefers big sta
BILE of pitchers. John McGraw
rates the pitching staff at close to
rs per cent Of the clubs strength.
Kid Gleason leans a little bit to
hitting as the most valuable asset.
Other managers differ. Results
so far this season give some inter-
esting evidence.
Take the Detroit Tigers, one of
the heaviest hitting teams in the
American league, a club with the
greatest smuggling outfield in base
ball, with the champion of the
league and a quintet of regular ev-
eryday 300 swatters.
The Tigers are in the last place.
They haven't won a game this sea-
son. Cobb, Flaggstead, Veach,

Cleveland ball fans have the
bunch that iris Speaker is the man
who will pull a Pat Moran" for
them and cop a pennant this sea-
son.
iris has been the playing life of
the ball club ever since he became
a member Of it, April II, 1916, and
now the Indian bugs believe he will
be the managerial Moses
Speaker was born in Hubbard
City, Texas, April 4, 1883. He play
ed baseball with the Forth Worth.
Texas, polytechnic institute and
then with Clebourne in the North
Texas league, but it wasn't until he
was transferred to the Houston
club in the Texas league that he
was brought to the attention of the
big leagues. And he owes Doak
Roberts, owner of the club, much
credit for forcing him into the big
show.
Spoke joined the Houston club in
1907 and Roberts decided right off
the bat that Spoke was a conner.
Spoke hit .314 and fielded spectacu-
larly for a youngster Roberts
knew Bob Hedges and Jim McAleer
Of the Browns and tried to wish
Speaker on them. They couldn't
see Spoke. Roberts wired IF he
doesn't make good I'll give you It's
acres of Texas back lands" But
still the Brown officials couldn' t
see giving Speaker a trial.
Then Roberts asked the Red Sox
to try him out, agreeing to pay his
expenses If he fizzled. The Red
Sox gave him a. tryout in three
games in the fall M 1907 but weren t
impressed with him and failed to
take care of him the next spring 50
he signed with Little Rock, with
Roberts help.
Then the Red Sox woke up. They
arranged deal whereby they were
to obtain the pick of the club at the
close OF the season for s5OO-and
chose Speaker. Spoke went to the
Red Sox the next year and by 1909
got going. He became-and still is
one Of the greatest outfielders in
the games history. He plays cen
ter field nearer the infield than any
other centerfielder. With Hooper
and Lewis he gave the Red Sox the
wonderful outfield that helped them
to win the American league and
world pennants in 1912 and 1915.
For 10 years up to the last season,
he hit in the 300 circles. Last year
he fell to 1886.
The $4,000 and players that Jim
Dunn paid for Speaker proved a
good investment right OF the reel
and il Spoke leads the club to a
flag this year it will be about the
best deal that Dunn, wealthy con-
tractor outside of baseball, ever put
over.

lg around by the gift of wild hurl-

ing around by the gift of wild hurl-
ers.
Miserable pitching is keeping
Jennings in the cellar. He hasn't
had a topnotch staff for years. De-
troit annually has been picked as a
runner-up when the dopesters
ran over the "murderers' row" in
the lineup, but the Tigers have
consistently fallen a victim to the
pitching malady.
John McGraw has one of the
best pitching stats in baseball.
Barnes led the league last year;
Toney, Benton, Nehf and Winters
rank with. if not above, any other
staff in baseball. Yet the Giants
are in the last hole. The team
isn't hitting well. 1t is in a bat
ting slump and some good pitching
has been wasted.
Toney and Benton have pitched
two games that would have turned
in a victory with minor league sup
port at the bat. but the New York
ers couldn't deliver and the Giants
have only one victory to their
credit.
OF course, there are some happy
mediums where the strength is
more evenly distributed. The
Reds are hitting good behind good
pitching. The White Sox are doing
the same behind the short hand
ed staff in the league. Brooklyn
combines strength in both depart
ments. That seems to be the an
swer. A little of both pitching and
batting is better than vast gobs of
either.
