~ shortstops In the American
league are slipping.
A few years back the names Of
Scott and Peckinpaugh would be I'M.
mediately mentioned II ono was Sc.
Letting the best shortstop IN the
Johnsonian organization.
Those days are over. Scott has
gone back badly. He has slowed up.
The spirit Is there. but he can no
longer cover the ground. In the
series with the Giants n half dozen
balls escaped him that would have
been easy chances few years ago.
pecklnpaugh Is also going the
other way. but not ms rapidly AZ
Scott Peck can suii cover the
ground.
Walter Gerber Of the 81. Louis
Browns is one OF the old standbys
who seems to be going as strong as
ever.
The two most brilliant shortstops
IN the American league last year
were youngsters. Chick Galloway
and Rigney.
Joe Scweil. the Cleveland short.
stop. who gave so much promise In
1891. had bad year OF II last season.
He appeared TO have lost n bit OF his
confidence.

for the struggle OF tho following
week.
There IN one outstanding point
about the Bruin machine III that II
has not yvt shown its full offensive
strength. Against U. y. c.. Califor.
mia did not use more than two new
plays. The remainder OF Coach
ANDY Smiths strategy has been
tucked away for Just such occasions
as tho Washington game.
Rumors have been circulated all
along the coast that California did
not play we'll against u. s. c. and
wa. lucky to win. Some misguided
Southern enthusiasts even went no
far as TO say that the Los Angeles
institution put out the better brand
football.
without doubt. California was
sllghtly off form. and perhaps q bit
stale. but lest too much credence be
given 20 the above report. the fol.
loxxing points are offered.
California kept tho ball In y. 3. g.
territory more than two.thirds Of
the time. Only once did the Trojans
threaten. After blocked Califor.
MIA punt they got the pigsldn on
the Bear five.yard line. with four
downs In which to mako the dis.
lance. California held.
California made IS first downs. all
on straight football. U. s. @. made
six first downs--two on trick plays.
two on forward passes, and only
two on straight football.
The entire California team showed
exceptional defensive strength. The
Bruins were robbed OF ono touch.
down by a penalty after they had
bucked tho ball across the goal line.
and OF another by a mistake on tho
part of one OF their backs. when he
had n clear field before him.
