FRANK FRISCH
 AND H0YT TWO
 FINDS OF YEAR

NeW 4OrK, Jan 2U.-AS f1e1n1e Zimmerman fades out and Eddie Col Ins yields slowly to the assualt of time, New York sends forth two sturdy rep1acements to carry it's standard on the baseball battle front Youth will arrive with a rush in pro 9essional- baseball during the next two years. As the old stars sputter out, the new ones burst into being to carry on the spirit of the banne. J Frank Frtsch, of the Giants, and Waite Hoyt, of the Red Sox, both local fledgings, blaze the way for fhe incoming host of youthful head liners. They are the first to arrive end by all odds the most promising. Not since Rogers Hornsby bIoomed amid the Texas cactus and mellowed into stardom with the Cardinals has the National League welcomed such an exceptional young player as Frank E,risch.
 The young man from Fordham all ready has been bal1yhooed to the clouds, and the whole legion of trained super1auves were justified. His advent at the Polo Grounds he didn't report till college closed was the brightest feature of dis appointing campaign for the Giants. F,risch's record is story that needs
 
 chapter of Gotham's season.
 For Hoyt we also predict brilliant future. One of the greatest mysteries baseball knows today is how this young pitcher-a final five star com pIete edition of star-ever escaped John. McGraw, who dug him out of a Flatbush mine four years ago.
 After long apprenticeship in the minors Hoyt pops up again in Bos- ton with the Red Sox, one of the choicest pitching finds Back Bay has known since Babe Ruth happened up from Baltimore.
 Hoyt embodies all the physical at tributes of an exceptional pitcher. He bears 8 striking resemblance to Christy Mathewson, both in stature and them amer in which he delivers the ball. He has speed and abund- ant stuff and an adequate noodle. His knowledge of pitching has broadened in the minors. Next sea- of his power.
 There is no better judge of bitch CTS in baseball than E. Barrow, man. ager of the Red Sox, to whom must go eredi, for Hoyt's resurrection. And Barrow consideres him one of the anost promising right handlers Of the day.
 HOytS best work In the American League last season was accomplished as the season was fizzing out against the Yankees in two games. On each occasion he let the men of Huggins down with few hits and shut then out
 Barrow is better qualified, perhap; than any other manager in the Amer. ican League-barring perhaps O. course, Connie Mack-to groom Hoy for what promises to be the greates season of his young, career.
 Youth and still more youth" i the cry that rings along the mid winter trail. Everywhere baseball scouts are searching the depths o the ivory mines. Down in the South ern hinterland of the sport the ivor, hunters are Questing young men ant offering the promising players hi sums to accept trials by major 1eagu clubs.
 Especially are the scouts intereste in pitchers And the good ones il xhe minors are few and far between Not more than half @ dozen eff1cien young pitchers came up from Jesse examinations in 1919, and thus ia the outlook for bigger crop thi year is dim indeed.
 whether this condition is a reac ton to the war is a point of contee ture Certainly it would seem tha with baseball so popular as it wa in the army at home and abroa many new players should have bee developed. But the scouts, after di1 gent search, report everywhere wit empty bags
