No pitching stan is really COM

Every season about y right

Since the southpaws are greatly

Recently I asked well-known

older organization was faring on
the question Of likely southpaw re-
cruits-
Not in Two Years.
I'VE haven't had a good-looking
senlthpaw break into the National
League for a couple Of years. he
replied.
For a number OF years the Anne
rican League was particularly I'M
fortunate in that respect. Good
looking southpaws, It seemed, were
not 10 be had.
This, however. is another year.
The season OF 1922 promises big
things in the matter OF southqaw
recruits in the Johnsonian organi-
cation.
The American League has been
fortunate this year in picking up
half dozen youngsters who hurl
with the left hand, and who have
great prospects of developing into
stars.
Heading the list is "Shucke"
Pruett Of the 81. Louis Browns
This young collegian is going
great guns for the St. Louis entry
in the American League.
Next to ShOcker.
Manager Foil thinks so well OF
him that. next to Shocker. no
pitcher is called upon more often
for relief roles. His peculiar style
OF delivery, featuring a most re-
ceptive fadeaway makes him an eX
ceIlent fellow to call upon when
the opposition is hitting speed or
curves 10 all corners OF the lot.
Close behind Pruett is Ray Fran
els of the Washington club. AL
though Francis has not been much
talked about he is n mighty clever
southpaw. He already has won
himself a place as a regular on the
Washington staff.
Heimach of the Athletics who
got away to such a good start. has
not been so successful of late.
However. he has much promise.
Youngest in Majors.
In Brilliant, Washington has the
youngest pitcher in the majors. He
is a kid with rare promise.
Davenport of the Chicago White
sox has as much stuff as any south
paw in the majors. Lack OF con-
troll. however. has retarded his pro-
gress.
Yes. indeed. II certainly locke
as if the American League has had
some very good luck on the south
paw question this year.
