figured ST. Louis was taking n Ions
chance on a pitcher who had twice

Charley Herzog, once a big league
star. played in the American AssO-
citation with Danforth last year.
asked Herzog at the New York meet
ing what he thought OF Danforth's
chances.
Il am sure he will help St Louis"
said Herzog. "He has a great fast
hall He is almost overhead when
pitching against right handlers. and
is constantly sidearming the left
handlers. lie gets a hop on his fast
ball that is most pulling II Foil
Will be satisfied with a dozen games
won from Danforth he can count on
that many right now"
In the American league when
Danforth was with Chicago he was
viewed with suspicion by opposing
batters. In the language Of the play
ers, Dave was a "cheater" That
means he doctored the ball IN vari-
Gus ways 10 get the old hop on his
fast one.
Zip" OF His Fast One.
Despite the belief on the part OF
the players, American League UNI
pires were never able to find any
thing wrong with his delivery. Dan
forth has very long fingers and a
good sized hand. He can almost
encircle the bali. This enables aim
to get unusual purchase on the ball
which no doubt accounts for the
zip" on his fast one.
Manager Rowland. who had Dan
forth. says Dave is an entirely diff
ferent pitcher. he lost his fast ball
in the American league because he
was always in the bull pen warming
up. Likewise want to go on record
in the strongest possible manner that
Danforth in no way hampers with
the ball. He VIII easily win 10
games for Foil.

Bobby Quinn Says.
BY BILLY EVANS.

What will Dave DanfOrth do for
the ST Louis Browns2 Danfortn, "a
every fan knows, is the pitcher for
whom the St. Louis American
League club gave II players.
It was seven come eleven wiAS
Business Manager Bobby Quinn OF
the Browns before he was able to
put over the deal.
Bob originally had seven players
in mind. who he was willing 10 pass
over, but Manager Rowland Of the
Columbus club expressed a prefer
ence for IL
Sounds like shooting craps" in
stead of a baseball deal.
Danforth. because of the unique
trade in which ne figured, will go
down in the baseball records as the
"one-man team" To secured his
services the St Louis Browns We're
really forced to turn over a good
minor league ball club.
Recall New York Deal.
Bobby Quinn, who with Lee Foil
arranged the deal, has always been
regarded as 8 foxy trader. 1t will
be recalled that 1t was Quinn who
sent Derrill Pratt to New York for
Shocker. Gideon and a few others
and lot Of cash.
What a whale Of a deal that was
for St. Louis, Joe Gideon proved
more than a worthy successor of
Pratt ShoclSer is today one OF the
best pitchers In the game.
In his deal with New York several
years ago, Quinn received a lot of
players for a few. In his very latest
deal he has gone 10 the other ex-
treme. He gives II for one.
IF Danforth wins Is ball games
for the st. Louis Browns" I figure
il Will be a great deal from a St.
Louis standpoint" says Quinn.
Foil Is Conservative.
/ If Danforth can win me a dozen
ball games, I will be satisfied" says
Foil. The players we have includ
ed in the deal should go big in the
minors. but don't believe I could
| figure on all of them turning in more

The fact that Danforth has had
two trials in the American League
is what caused the trade 10 be Sc

BILLY EVANS
Says

Pitching is the biggest asset a
bail club can have.
Some critics argue it is IS per
cent Of a teams strength.
Possibly that is putting it trife
too strong. 1t is conservative to
say that pitching is so percent Of a
teams punch.
In the spring of last year, the St
Louis Cardinals suffered from poor
pitching. Manager Hickey only had
two men available for duty. For
several weeks the team was a tail
ender.
The hard hitting OF the Cardinals
availed them nothing. because the
opposition was taking greater liber-
ties with the St. Louis pitchers.
Slowly the pitching staff begaE TO
round into form. About mid-season
the Cardinals began getting consist
| emily good work from the pitching
staff. Immediately the club began
to win. During the last six weeks
it was going stronger than any
other team in the National league.
The experience of the St Louis
Cardinals during the 1921 season is
proof positive of the value Of pitch
ing. A similar lesson might be taken
from the record Of the Cleveland
club. Inability Of Bagby and Mails
TO come through spoiled the big
chance OF the Indians.
The decision of Judge Lands,
which deprives the New York Yam
KEGS of two such great hitters as
Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel until
May 20, was a severe blow. A lot
Of pessimistic critics Immediately
counted the Yankees out of the run
ming in 1922.
| I feel that such a belief is rather
premature. The Yankees VIII miss
! Ruth and Meusel. The New York
owners, however, have taken steps
to remedy the loss Of the two star
l outfielders. The addition Of sam
Jones and Joe Bush TO the pitching
staff should more than overcome
the loss of Ruth and Meusel.
The former Boston stars should
be able 10 carry the burden until
