REDS LOOK SOFT
FOR GR|FF'S MEN
World Champs Appear As Bush
ers Before Zachary and Shaw
As Youngsters Shine.

MIAMI, Fla, March 2S.--1f any one
said the Cincinnati Reds, worlds
champions and all that sort of thing,
would be easy picking for the Griff-
men. the average fan would be in
clined to chortle in his sleeve. AS a
matter of fact, the champion Reds
are more than easy picking for the
Griffs, they are soft. as yesterdays
s to battle proved.
Moran's men looked like bushcrs in
the box yesterday, both Ring and
Bressler being subjected to a drub-
bling. The Griffs, with Zachary and
Shaw tipping them over. proved too
much for the Reds batters, who got
to blows during the min" innings.
Griff's youngsters, Shannon, Harris
and O'Neill had a field day at bat,
collecting seven of the ten hits credit
ed to the Griffs. All OF the bingles
were smart raps, which produced
runs.
Shannon improved his stand as q
permanent candidate for third. Tor
res showed well as a receiver, and
Charity looked to be rounding into
form despite his late start
The Griffs got going early and
stayed late. Zachary and Shaw
proved to be too good for the champs,
while the backing up by the team,
with the exception Of a lofty peg
by Charity. was all that could be
expected.

NO JOY RIDE THIS YEAR
FOR BATSMEN, HE THINKS

Allan Sothoron. the leading trick
ball pitcher of the St Louis Browns.
training at Taylor, Tex, says that tho
new rules prohibiting freak deliv-
cries will not prevent the use of thu
so-called "sailer" this year. Sothoron
says that as soon as the ball is hit
once by the bat 1t leaves a mark on
the smooth cover OF the ball, and
this one bruise will enableh tho
pitchers to use this spot in throwing
a ball that comes up so mysterious
ly that the batters imagine it is float
ing up to them.
Sothoron believes that pitchers like
himself, Cicotte and Eller, for in
stance, will be able TO throw the so-
called shine ball without rubbing the
ball on their uniform. The Brown
star contends that n batsmcn think
they are going to have an easier tina
making hits this year they are nts~
taken, for it is going to be just 40
difficult as ever.

WINS CHALKED Up
FOR LOCAL MINES
Georgetown, State land Catho-
lie University Clean Up on
Diamonds In Games.

1t is quite safe to say that George
town, Maryland State. and Catholic
University will. have no such easy
picking In any one day as that which
ushered in the opening OF the collie
giate baseball season here yesterday.
The big three Of the District, with
the aid of an overwhelming defeat
administered Gallaudet by State.
amassed thirty-two runs to four for
the opposition.
Georgetown found St Johns a vic
tim for a 6-to-0 score, and John
O'Reilly got plenty of men into the
game for the Hilltoppers. sixteen
Blue and Gray athletes performed on
the Hilltop during the nine Innings
The Hilltoppers were content to try
out many players. Hyman and Fitz-
gerald served them up for George
town.
Maryland State struck the softest
kind OF going against Gallaudet and
when Curley Byrd's athletes quit for
the day they had twenty runs to
three for Gallaudet. Nisbet and
Smith pitched for state.
Catholic University won handily
over the University OF Vermont by a
f6-to-1 score, being better all the way.
Jackson did the hurting. The
Brooklanders presented well-bal-
anced team, despite their late start
this year.
During the afternoon the opponents
OF the big three got but twelve hits,
and thirty-one OF them whitfield on
strikes.

LEFTHANDERS OUGHT TO
RULE ROOST THIS YEAR
So Says Dutch Reuther, a South
paw, and He Explains
His Dope.

"Left-handed pitchers ought to rule
the roost IN the big leagues this
year." says Dutch Ruether, star
southpaw of the champion Cincinnati
Reds. 1.-The port-side hurlers may be
eccentric, but they are fair in their
methods. They don't resort to trick
pitching or freak deliveries. With
the shine ball and other stunts barred
many of the right handlers Will lose
their effectiveness.
1.-The shine ball Is a curious thing.
I've watched it closely, and it is either
invincible or a Joke. When a pitcher
controls the sinner properly it sails
up to the hitter looking easy. then
twists away, and can't be touched.
But poor control makes the shine ball
a mark.
Cicotte's shine ball was pitifully
weak in the first game of the worlds
series. 1t was fairly good in his
second attempt and completely puz-
zled the Reds in his third game. CT
cote didn't control the sinner per-
fectly until it was too late. The new
rule will not hamper Hold Eller. He
has plenty of natural skill without
depending on freak deliveries"
