Youngster Doomed To Minors Who Uses

Special Correspondent to The Age-Herald Copyright 1921, by The Age-Herald) New York, April 30.-Each club in the Texas league is permitted to have two spit-ball pitchers. Whether they be considered excess baggage, or a survival of old custom, matters little, one way or the other. It seems like deluding youngsters with false hope for there will be no more spitbali in baseball, and to bring a kid up on slip pery elm is tough rations, because 1t dooms him for life to the minors.
 Johnny Suggs is still pitching and batting in the Southern. To lose Johnny Suggs, tidal wave would have to take Dixie from the map, and when it rcceded Johnny probably would be around Atlanta floating with the aid of a home made Iife-preserver.

FORMER TEAMMATES

Last year Wilcox teamed with Goux and Boillot but this year Boillot will drive Talbot-Darracq, while Goux will probably remain on the other side of the pond. However, it is said that a second Peugeot will be entered in the big event along with the French car that is on it's way to Wilcox's garage.
 A new and untried design of racing car was the cause of the poor showing of the Peugeot team in the race last May With a clever combination of three stel- lar pilots, the railbirds had 1t all doped out that Peugeot was due for big cleanup. But the cars were found want ing and long before the race was waR- ing the three cars had been pushed to the sidelines, one by one, and the drivers slipping down to the pits to see their rivals flirt with the glory and gold that always attend victory in the Indian apolis event.
 But this year the Peugeot cars have been tried and Wilcox and his mate are being touted as a real comeback due fot the French outfit.
 The victory of Wilcox in 1919 was an especially heady example of driving Keeping we'll concealed during the early stages of the fray. yet always within striking distance of first place. he came to the fore with rush during the last quarter, and held his position in the lead thereafter without being threatened at any time

 QUERIES ANSWERED
 A gent signing himself "An In terested Fan" writes the follow ing question:: Please let me know through The Age Herald why the Pirates have never pitched John Dewey Morrison since the season opened. Can it be he will be sent back to Birmingham for another year? They've tried Glazner several times, but I've noticed nothing from Morrison. Anyway here's hoping Moley gets a good pitcher soon. We need him today.
 Answer: John Dewey Morrison was placed on Pittsburg's hospital list soon after the spring training season started, and thus far has not been able to reach top form and pitch. He was placed under a doctors care with severe case of tonsilitis, and John Dewey had quite tough wrestling match with this throat trouble.
 \ crime wave seems to be sweep ing over the country. The Pirates are sandbagsing every club in the National league.
 Joe White, who tips the beam near the 20O-pOund mark, was night as middIeweight. Wonder how big n fellow has to grow be- fore they will recognize him as a heavyweight down in Montgomery!
