ROOKIE TWINS JOIN MAJORS; FIRST TIME
IN HISTORY

Z The Jonnard twins are trying to win
their spurs in the major leagues.
Claude Lonnard, with the New York
Giants, is hailed as one OF the best
pitching prospects of the year.
Clarence Jonnard, with the Pitts
burgh Pirates, is catcher and hopes
to stick in the big show.
!; IIughey Jennings, right hand man
to John McGraw, says that Jonnard
is certain to be carried by the Giants.
He is big husky right-hander,
we'll over six feet, and is said to have
an unusually good fast ball. NJ.
Clarence Jonnard seems to have
enough ability to stick under ordi-
nary conditions. Unusual conditions
exist on the Pittsburgh club this year,
which should help his chances to win
a regular berth.
Walter Schmidt, star catcher Oftthe
Pirates, refuses to report because OF
a salary difference with Owner Drey-
.fus. This insyres JOnnard a real
trial.
Claude and Clarence started their
careers in 1916 as the battery for the
Nashville high, school team.

HAS REMARKABLE RECORD
IN. BASKETBALL

A unique record in the annals OF
intercoileg; basketball stands to
tho credit of Bill Grave, star center on
the University of Pennsylvania basket
ball team.
In the season just closed Grave
led the Eastern Intercollegiate League
in field goals and points scored.
| Since coming to Pennsylvania
Grave has taken part in 50 baskets
ball games. Of these Penn has won
all excepting four, a percentage OF
.951, a most remarkable performance
for consistency as well as brilliancy
| Grave has jumped center on three
championship teams. For three
years he has been rated All-America
center by the leading basketball ex-
perts Of the country.
Through two seasons he has played
without missing a game.
5 Aside from his great work IN bas-
ketball Grave has starred il other
branches of athletics.
He played varsity football for four
years and one season was the regular
first baseman Of Penn team, a reg
ular three sports star He dropped
baseball from his repertoire at the
request of the basketball coach
Grave is 6 feet 2 inches tall ard
weighs 1875 pounds. He came to
Penn as a forward and was made over
into center. He didn't like the

player, thereby greatly affecting his
work, s.
In the past 10 years golf has taken
a strong hold among the major league
players.
In the past five years it has increas
ed to such a degree that golf sticks
are regular part of most big lea
guers' paraphernalia.
Connie Mack is strong for golf.
Plays lot of it himself during the
summer. However, Connie has his
doubts as to it's value for ball player

Philadelphia Athletics so strongly that

Mack at that time expressed the
opinion that no player could go 18 holes
of golf and not lose much of his pep

field.
+ Now it seems that golf has been
added to the troubles Of Manager Hug.
gins of the Yankees. Higgins had one
sweet time handling his temperament
al athletes without having new evil
present itself to,stir up argument.
1t is said that golf was the indirect
cause Of the controversy between
Pitcher Mays and Manager Higgins,
which ended by Huggins plastering a
fine of 5000 on his star pitcher,
It seems that about dozen of the
Yankee players are >devotees OF golf,
among them being Ruth, Hoyt, Mays
and 'Schang. Some of the baseball ex-
perts with the Yankees claim that the
team has paid more attention to golf
than baseball on the spring training
trip. t
The story goes that Huggins had re-
quested his pitchers not to play goli
on the days they are to pitch. L
After advising Mays that he was to
pitch a certain exhibition game against
Brooklyn, Mays is said to have played
1IS holes Of golf
That afternoon Mays was hit hard
by Brooklyn and taken'out Of the box
by Higgins.
Mays resented his removal from the
game and to prove it threw the ball
over the grandstand. For which Hug
gins fined him 5000.
All Of which makes it seem that goll
isn't the best thing in the world for

or, but no Ty Cobb at the bat.
Yet ,Haney enjoys the unique dis
tinciion in baseball OF being the only
man who was ever passed by a pitcher
so that the pitcher could work on
Cobb.
This stunt was pulled in an exhibit
ton game on the coast two years ago.
III course no one other than Nick
Altrock could be the author of such
a stunt. s,s Isl
Cobb and IHaney were on the same
team and Cobb followed Haney in the
batting order. Altnock was pitching

Hancy. Ty didn't appreciate the situ-
alton and proceeded to smack the first
pitch against the fence, breaking up

ever had the nerve to pass a batter to
take a chance on Cobb.
