out the week, and is satisfied that
his players are in the best OF con

improvement of the Augie squad
in every department of the game
This is especially true in working
the ball down the floor. Short
snappy passes are used entirely and
the ball is worked in under The
basket in clock fashion. The fro

style of basketball is being used a.

Red" Faber of the Chicago White
Sox. according TO Z news item, has
just left a Chicago hospital. after
undergoing a successful operation
for an injured knee.
Faber has had trouble with a
bad knee for several years. Late
last season. in covering first, it was
again injured in a collision. That
injury made necessary an opera
ton.
No doubt the news that Faber
has had the injury to his knee right
ed will make lot of people cor
clude that he will be a much better
pitcher next season. That would
hardly be possible.
Last year, Faber, from a stand
point CT effectiveness, had the best
year of his career. The records
will bear cut that statement. With
very ordinary ball club back Of
him, Faber was just about the hard
est pitcher in the American League
to beat.
Faber's remarkable showing last
year has caused lot of people 20
wonder why. Every time Fabar
wen a game last year, it would be
the sign for about fifty queries as
to what was making him so hard tc
beat.
Faber has always been a great
pitcher. Batters Will tell you there
is no ball harder to hit than a side
arm spitball That is F'aber's most
effective ball. The ball breaks with
sharp snap, and it is almost i'm
possible to hit it squarely. The bats
man usually tops the ball.
Some will say Faber has always
had that type of delivery, why
should he be so much more sue
cessful with it in 1921 with only an
ordinary ball club backing him up .
The answer is that Faber pitch
ed with purpose last season. Att
err a couple of $3.50 years, due 10
trouble with his pitching arm,
Faber made up his mind that he
was gong 10 90 a comeback. His
arm felt all right, ard he realized
it was up to him to make the great
est possible use of his stuff.
In former years Red" had a
habit OF becoming careless. Against
the good hitters he would work his
hardest. Rarely did he get into
trouble because of carelessness or
some real batter. 1t was usually
some weak hitter who would make
trouble for Faber
Despite the constant warnings
from Catcher Ray Schalk, Faber
had habit of easing up on The
weak hitters, like the pitcher or
some other player in the lineup
generally regarded as very feeble

Gene Tunney has impressed the
wise guys of late as a boy who has
just begun to get there. He is cool,
fairly clever and can certainly hit.
But today's indications are that the
betting fraternity are pretty much
in doubt about the outcome of this
bout. They believe that Tunney can
sock harder than Levinsky. but on
the other hand they see where the
battler's cleveTness might enable
him not only to complete the route
but to total up enough points to
win the favor of The referee and

Tex was the fact that the promoter

of friends were blocking the aisle.
This is against the law and Rick

New York. Jan. 9.-In a private
workout today, Battling Levinsky,
light heavyweight champion of the
United States, who will defend his
title at the Garden against Gene
Tunney. next Friday night, showed
that whatever he may have lost he
still has his oleverness and general
shifty ability. OF course a man
may weave in and out of the fists
of a comparatively slow sparring
partner and make a dandy impress
sion. but at the same time, it al
ways should be remembered that
such an exhibition gives no line
upon the ability of a man to take
d sock and still remain clever And
neither does it prove that he. him
self. has left something more than
a ghost of a wallop-not such a
terrific wallop. at that-which
brought the battler fame in the cid
days.
