Danforth was with Chicago he was
viewed with suspicion by opposing
batters. In his language of the
players, Dave was a "cheater."
That means he doctored the ball in
various ways to get the old hop on
his fast one
Despite this 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 ball. This enables him
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 warm
ing up. Likewise l want to go on
record in the strongest possible
manner that Danforth in no way
hampers with the ball. He will
easily win Is games for Foil.
We shall see.

SPORT SPLTNTERS

Judging from the way the mag
mates paid out fancy prices for
ball players, the season of 1921
was most profitable. If the paying
of such prices is due to the desire to
1 beat the income tax, why not cut
down the profits by reducing the
price of admission? That would
serve the purpose, and make a
much bigger hit with fandom.
Unless the unexpected should
happen, it would seem that Detroit
had lost all chance of getting
ShortStop Everett Scott. Cobb had
hoped to build Up his infield around
this veteran star. Now that he has
gone to New York, in exchange fo-
Peckinpaugh, it would seem De-
troit hadn't a look in.
Lew Blue was unquestionably
the best looking player to be de-
yeloped in the American league
last year. He played a bang-up
game at first base for Detroit. It
was feared he wouldn't be able to
hit. His hitting was on a par
with his sensational work in the
field.
Eddie Ainsmith is slated to do
most of the catching for the ST
Louis Cardinals next year, accord
ing to Manager Hickey. Here is
catcher who was waived out of
the American league without anv
trouble, yet stars in the National
league. Proving that you can new
er tell in baseball
Howard Shanks will have no on
position at third base at Washing
ton next spring. Every year the
Nationals sign couple of young
sters to replace Shanks. but thew
never get very far. 1t is said that
Griffith has finally decided that
Shanks Is better than five or six
other third sackers in the AmerI-
can, and the job is his.

What will Dave Danforth do for
| the St Louis Browns?
DanfoTth, as every fan knows, is
the pitcher for whom the st. Louis
American league club gave II
players.
1t was seven come eleven with
Business Manager Bobby Quinn OF
the Browns before he was able to
put over the deal.
Bob originally had seven play
ers in mind, who he was willing to
pass over, but Manager Rowland
of the Columbus club expressed a
preference for II.
Sounds like shooting craps" in
stead of a baseball deal
Danforth, because of the unique
trade in which he figured, will go
down in the baseball records as the
"one-man team" To secure his
services the ST. Louis Browns were
really forced to turn over good
minor league ball club.
Bobby Quinn, who with Lee
Foil arranged the deal, has al
ways been regarded as a foxy
trader. It will be recalled that IT
was Quinn who sent Derrill Pratt
and a few others and lot of cash.
and a fe wothers and a lot of cash
What a whale of a deal that was
for st. Louis! Joe Gideon proved
more than a worthy successor of
Pratt. Shocker is today one OF the
best pitchers in the game.
In his deal with New York sew
eral years ago, Quinn received a lot
of players for few. In his very
latest deal he has gone to the
other extreme. He gives II for
one.
IF Danforth wins Is ball games
for the st. Louis Browns, 1 figure
it will be a great deal from a ST.
Louis standpoint" says Quinn.
Foil Is Conservative.
IF Danforth can win me a dozen
ball games, l will be satisfied, -
says Foil. The players we have
included in the deal should go big
in the minors, but 1 don't believe l
could figure on all of them turning
in more than IL wins"
The fact that Danforth has had
two trials in the American League
is what caused the trade to be so
widely discussed. A lot OF the critics
figured St. Louis was taking a long
chance on a pitcher who had twice
failed.
Charley Herzog, once a big league
star, played in the American Asso-
citation with Danforth last year. l
asked Herzog at the New York
meeting what he thought Of Dan
forth's chances. "
u am sure he will help St.
Louis" said Herzog He has a
great fast ball He is almost over
head when pitching against right
handlers, and is constantly sidearm-
ing the left-handers He gets
hop on his fast BALI that is mos
puzzling. If Foil will be satisfied
with a dozen games won from Dan
forth he can count on that many
right now
In the American League when
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1921-12-30

Bobby Veach, hard-hitting out
fielder of the Detroit Tigers, is on
the market.
Howard Ehmke, who has one of
the most deceptive fast balls any
big league pitcher ever boosted of,
is also to figure in a trade
Manager Cobb of the Detroit club
says that he can land high in the
first division if he secures a second
baseman and shortstop capable of
filling the bill.
In all probability Veach and
Ehmke will be used in a trade that
will bring a couple of infielders to
the Tigers.
A few years ago the Boston Red
SoX would have traded Scott to the
Tigers for Veach. Such a deal was
proposed. Just now Scott would
help materially in making the
Tigers first division possibility.
His sale to New York may kill any
chance Detroit had Of getting him,
Others talked about for second
base are Jack Knight. who has
played on various American league
clubs, and Marty, krug. who had a
brief trial with the Boston Red
Sox.
Johnny Mitchell. who subbed for
Roger Peckinpaugh at short. is said
to be the player desired in a trade
for Ehmke. Mitchell might help the
Tigers. Ehmke would certainly be
useful to the Yankees. The big fell
low is great pitcher and is going
TO prove it 10 the world some dav.

Laurence Perry, Sport Authority,
To Write Articles for The Argus

Lawrence Perry, recognized au-
thority on professional and anna
teur sports, will write several dis
patches each week exclusively for
The Argus, beginning jan 4.
Every game played in America
interests the man who plays it.
There is one man in America who
is tremendously interested in every
game played and he has the gift OF
interesting everybody else in what
interests him He is Lawrence
Perry. In all college sports Law
renee Perry writes with a vitaliz-
ing touch-because he played in
them and later studied them scien-
tifically. Mr. Perry loves and lives
sports. AS writer he was trained
by Charles A. Dana of the New
York Sun.
Have you ever sailed a yacht?
Maybe no? But you have played
baseball or padded a canoe. You
will be surprised how much there
is in every mans favorite sport to
interest the other fellow, if the
right man tells him about it. Law
renee Perry is an authority on both
professional and amateur sports.
He is a trained observer and an in
teresting writer Not only are his
articles invariably quoted in the
college press, but coaches, gradu-
ate managers or athletics and even
college presidents have often
sought his advice when decisions Of
moment have been pending.
A leading coach last season said,
When Lawrence Perry has seen a
rival team play. use his analysis
of that teams style and general !
play in preference to the reports OF
my own scouts"

! Major league magnates need have
no further fears as to winter base
| ball
Six months ago most OF the big
league club owners were all fused
up over the proposed California
Winter league.
When the scheme was first
! launched, it was proposed to take
20 or 80 major league stars to the
coast. This movement caused much
discussion among the magnates.
1 1t was the general belief that the
added 10 weeks would make the
/ players stale. Likewise the posi-
i bility that some of them might be
] injured was an additional worry.
There was also the fear that some
of the players might not keep in
condition with nothing at stake.
IL was the original intention of
the magnates to try to have Jndpe
Lands stop the post-season games
Evidently the judge decided it
would be unwiSe to do so. 1t turn
ed out to be an excellent move not
TO try to prevent the players from
going TO the coast.
Such action would have created
Ill feeling among the players. That
would have worked against bar-
mony on the various teams con-
cerned.
The winter league finished the
season. but it proved conclusivelv
these facts:
Coast league fans get enough
baseball during the regular season
Unless all the clubs are made I'D
OF stars there is little or no inter
est Only four big leaguers made
the trip-Sisler. Hornsby. Cobb and
Heilman. After having once seen
these four stars, the punch was
gone.
The season was a big failure f.
nancially. Only rain insurance
saved the promoters from a big
loss.
The coast league magna:es are
now positive that winter ball is bad
for the game in this section n
gives the fans too much baseball
ana takes the edge of the playing
season.
The permitting OF the four stars
10 go to the coast to launch a win
Ter league was an excellent thing
1t proved beyond a doubt chat there
was no demand for such an organ
ization.

new PLAN FOR
RACE STARTING
IS SUGGESTED
Innovation in Scoring to Force
Harness Drivers to Start
Mounts Together.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 30.-An in
novation in scoring, which will
force harness horse race drivers to
start their mounts together, will be
recommended to the Grand Circuit
meeting this summer, regardless of
the action taken by the stewards,
according to Win kinnan, secretary
of the Forest City Livestock and
Fair Co.
1t is planned to-have the horses
in each race go to tape placed at
a point 80 yards above the judges
stand, turn and parade back in the
positions allotted by the draw to a
point 80 yards below the judges
stand where a man will be stationed
in the center of the track. At the
tape the horses will fall in single
file, half following the inside rail
and the remainder parading on the
other side of the track.
The horses will be compelled to
turn around this man and fall auto
matically into their rightfuI places
while still on walk.
While the greatest advantage of
the system will be to force all
horses to approach the starter
abreast and with no animal out of
place, it will also aid greatly in re-
ducing the number of breaks and
tend to make trotters and PAGERS
come to the wire on their stride.
1t is planned to permit no more
than three scores. and if horse
offends three times it will be sent
to the stables. If, however, the
judges think more than three scores
are necessary, these can be per
mitted.
The plan also is expected to be
preached at meetings of the Union,
National and American Trotting
associations

More and more the other major
league leaders are placing their ap-
prevail on Comics plan.
Take the case of Glen Killinger
of Penn State. Killinger was tn ,
season. He is said to be a great
ball player. Hugo Bezdek, former
manager of the Pittsburgh Nation
ais. now director of athletics at
Penn State, thinks Killinger has 4
great chance to make good in
the majors.
Killinger doesn't graduate from
