HeydIer Looking for
a Hard Race
BY JOHN A. HEyDLER,
Yr~ssdens National League.

The National League today win
enter it's forty-seventh consecutive
championship campaign with it's
clubs stronger individually. and bet
ter balanced collectively, than at
any time since the disorgsntzation
of the last baseball war.
With the exception Of few tenn
porary player injuries. our clubs
are In great shape. They have
made a fine showing In the more
important of the fnterleague prac-
tice games, which, added to the
worlds championship prestige re-
gained by the Giants last October,
win make for a keenly interesting
season
look for hard race. with any
one OF five clubs having chance
for the flag.
The governmental END Of the
game. also. Is in fine order, thus
insuring clean, healthy. and sports
manlixs conduct OF the sport, and
meriting the continued confidence
Of our great baseball public.

achieved with no sacrifice OF needed
strength elsewhere.
In other words. the Yankees are

the field and on the bases as they
were last year and infinitely stronger
in the pitching box.
Browns and the Washington Sem
ators, have improved new strength
than the Yankees, and certainly
they haven't been as strongly re-
enforced where they most needed

Unless Dave Danforth delivers, the
Browns will be no more successful

fanG awrNa1N thar. 80
The acquisition OF Roger Peckin-
paugh has given them a good infleld
for the first time In years, but to
win a pennant in the American
League this year a club must have
a good pitching staff, and Washing
toms hurting corps has yet to prove
itself.
II Walter johnson were In his old
time form, or IL indications pointed
to a comeback by the erstwhile king
of the hill, would regard the Wash
ington club as our most formidable
rival this year. But Walter has been
in poor health, he has suffered many
misfortunes since the close OF the
1871 campaign. and / do not look to
him TO be OF much use TO his club
before the middle OF May or maybe
the first Of June.
I have probably refrained from
mentioning the Cleveland Indians
until now because i wanted TO get
n more definite line than was
obtalnabIe at New Orleans on
Manager Iris Speakers condi-
tion. His II not only the guiding
spirit and the inspiration Of the
Cleveland club, but its most vaIu-
able player, and unless he can
play with his accustomed dash
and vigor In practically every
gawe the Indians, win be lucky
to finish Rs wen as third this
year.
And Il n q question now whether
he win be able TO stand up under
the wear and tear of the daily
grind. His bad knees have gone
back on him again. and such a mis-
hap, for a player OF his age and
service, is a serious one indeed.
He will play as long as he can
he has not one capable understudy
available--but am told that he
himself despairs of being able to
last through the season.
IL this Is true Cleveland's chances
of winning another pennant this
year are very remote.

ago. His last appearance in Brook
lyn was in the world series OF
1915. Even then he was regarded
as venerable old gentleman and
when he retired TO his ancestral
acres at Alpharetta, Ga, folks
thought they had seen the last OF
him.
But G. Napoleon fooled him. At
the express invitation Of Squire
Ebbets and Wilbert Robinson he
stepped into the box Monday after
noon at Ebbets Field and had a
three-inning look at the Yankees.
Did that celebrated collection OF
fence busters take liberties with
faithful old Nspf They did not.
They made Just one hit off Rucker
in the three innings and that blow
was delivered by George Murray,
the Yankee pitcher. Murray Is q
rookie. He has just arrived in the
American League and has no re-
spect for gray hairs.
The other Yankee maulers, who
later treated two other Brooklyn
pitchers roughly, laid off Rucker.
The last time G. Napoleon encoun-
tered b. Ruth was in 1916 when
Babe was also a left-handed
pitcher. Ruth hit a teaser in the
first inning and raised a pop fly
to Shortstop High.
Prize Slow Bah.
THEY used to say Of Rucker
that his fast ball was only as
fast as Walter Johnson's slow
ball and that his slow ball was Inn
possible. Anyhow, Nap could slick
the boys with that floater, and he
had other stuff that. he could lay
over the plate. He walked the first
batter TO face him, but after that
he mastered the Yanks. Eleven
batsmen faced him, and only two
hit the ball beyond the infield. He
struck out Frank Baker in the first
inning and Mcmillan In the third.
At, the end of the third inning
Rucker resigned, and as he walked
to the bench mopping his brow the
sparsely settled stands broke out IN
a cheer for the old-timer. They
still remember Nap here.
Since his retirement Rucker has
lived quietly In his home town. He
is still occasionally employed by the
Brooklyn club as a scout. This
spring he worked out with the
Dodgers IN Jacksonville and came
back with so much of his old stuff
that Uncle Robby invited him to
visit Ebbets Field again and give a
demonstration Of his skill against
the Yankees.

boy. He may be unveiled in Madi-
son Square Garden on May 5 by
Frank Flourney, the matchmaker.
Ray is not bashful. He wants to
meet Sailor Freedman or Bobby
Barrett, the slugging Philadelphian.

as professional. II Is said he has
