BASEBALL CAN
BE CURVED, SIR
ARTHUR FOUND
Hor,1lira Garland Won
First Argument
Years Ago.
BY WALTER CAMP.

NCopyrlgnt, 19Z2, by The August
Sir Arthur Conan, Doyle and
Hamlin Garland, the novelist, have
been having some slight difference
of opinion on the subject of spirit
ualism. The matter is something
that it is not our province to dis
cuss. but mention of it will serve
to introduce the fact that some 20
years ago Mr.. Garland and Sir Ar
thur had an argument about base
ball and cricket on Doyle's lawn in
England
Sir Arthur said it was brought
about by his contention that a base
ball player ought not TO wear
gloves, that he should be able to
catch any ball barehanded. Gar
land argued differently, and the up
shot was that the American writer
took a cricket ball and proceeded
to demonstrate that the American
brand of pitching required protec-
ton for the hands. Also he essay
ed to prove something that Doyle
had also questioned; that is, that
the ball could be curved.
Doyle says he recalls that he
held the ball three times out of
five, but by the time he caught the
fifth bender he was obliged to pro-
pose a change of occupation. 18th
erwise," says Doyle. q should most
certainly have had all the skin rip

A "a JAMES L. HUGHES =

Bergeson, a Geneseo youth, par
ticipated in yesterdays fuss for a
few innings, taking Peterson's place
behind the bat for the Vans when
the latter had to retire on account
of a split thumb. On his first and
only trip to the plate, Bergeson
pushed out neat bingle. The boy
shows signs of hidden talents that
should assert itself before long.
Peterson, who preceded Bergeson,
is a powerfully built player from
Kewanee. He has all the earmarks
of a good backstop. Erickson of
Milan, however, seems to be setting
the pace. He is showing consistent
work behind the bat and in addition
is hitting the ball for an average of
about 800.
Haase, centerfielder for the Regs,
is modest, unassuming pastimer,
yet his speed is bringing him fore
IDLY to the front. He and Lowe ap-
pear to be the best bets thus far
among the crop of outfielders. Lowe
is hard hitter, fields his position
fairly well and has a wonderful arm.
Jimmy Jelly" Jelinek bids --.ir
to win the hearts of the fans by
his work at shortstop. His excel
lent fielding, speed and work with
the stick seem to give him a
strangle hold on the position at
this writing. He batted well above
the 800 mark in the Alabama
Tennessee league last season and
was high among the infielders. He
is small of stature but can take a
full swing with the bat
Pitcher Holden began the training
season with Chattanooga and was
farmed to Bloomington. He is in
pretty fair shape right now.

REGS FORCED
TO step SOME
BUT WIN, rs
Many New Faces ADDear in Game;
Both Teams Show Plenty OF
Power With Stick.
BY j. L., HUGHES,

The Vans made the Kegs step
some at Douglas park yesterday
afternoon to win by the slender
bat sutlicien- margin OF one score.
The final count was to . against
the second suingers. The winning
run was scored by Jimmy Jelinek
i'll the ninth Spasm.
Inspired by the sudden change in
weather conditions, which brought
out a warm sun IN place OF the
piercing wind OF the day before, the
athletes played bangup baseball.
Both teams displayed considerable
talent with the stick.
Several new faces appeared in
uniform, among them being Good
rich, Waako, Babb, Lodge, Sven
son, Peterson, Bergeson, Mullen,
Holden, Bevens, Mlchaels, Craig,
Church and Haddick, replacing a
number who were cut from the list
yesterday noon by Manager Conzel-
man.
Walter Swenson Of Rockford was
seen at third base for the Vans.
He displayed particular aptitude
Tor the position besides breaking in
with three hits out OF five times at
bat, one of which was a triple 10
the tiagpole. 1t looks like d merry
battle lor the far corner between
SwenSon and Curt Norton of Mo-
line.
Merrill Babb, who began the
training season with Bloomington
and later shifted to Danville, work
ed at first base, first for the Vans
and during the latter part of the
game for the Regs. Hepner went
out with an injured hand. Babb's
performance was OF the steady
quality.
OF the seven twirlers given a
chance to work, all but one, Dillon,
were new arrivals.
The Regs got off to an early lead
scoring three in the first two in
| ningS, while the Vans managed to
| slip a runner around in their half
of the first. Both added a run in
the fifth. The Vans got one in the
| sixth and another in the seventh,
but the Regs kept the lead by scor-
ing pair in their part of the sew
enth. The Vans knotted the count
in the eighth, but the Regs came
back in the first half of the ninth
and worked Jelinek around to the
registering station with what prov
ed to be the winning run.
The batting of Jelinek featured
for the Regs. The little shortstop
helped himself to three blows in
five times at bat, one of which was
double to left field. Lowe. the
New Boston strong boy. continued
his hard hitting by getting two in
as many chances. He was I'D five
times, getting two hits, a walk and
two sacrifice hits. Lowe also con-
nected for a double. Swenson was
the leading batter for the Vans.

ped off my palms" The English
man was likewise convinced that a
ball could be thrown so as to alter
it's trend, or in other words, curved.
This argument between the two
eminent men as to curving a ball
calls to mind the fact that in the
early days of baseball many learn
ed professors maintained that a
curve was merely an optical de-
fusion. But at length they were
convinced by having posts set up
and a pitcher curving the ball in
and out Of the uprights.
Garland's feat in demonstrating
a scientific feat with a heavy crick-
ct ball was a double triumph.

RUMOR JACK IS
IN POOR SHAPE
FOR ANY CLASH
Said to Be Reason
Champion Went
to Europe.
BY FAIR PLAY.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
New York, n. Y, April 21.-Jack
Dempsey's lacking desire to avoid
anything in the way of fistic en-
gagements on his present journey
in Europe and Jack Kearn's
grouchiness, have given color to
reports current in the metropolis
just before Jack sailed that his
condition was not overly good.
From San Diego now comes
word that Jack was not exactly in
strict training upon the occasion of
several merry parties at Tia Ju-
ana, the Mexican town just below
the border where a man can raise
a thirst and not have to seek out
bootlegger to have it gratified.
The story is that Jack was sur
rounded by jovial company and
that the popping of corks was loud
er than the pounding of horses
hoofs on the Tia Juana track.
This may be only the sort of
book that follows a champion pugi-
list in his wanderings about the
earth But it is the sort of bosh
that preceded the Dempsey-Bren-
nan bout And look at the way
Dempsey conducted himself in that
fight.
II there is any truth in this yarn
it may account for Jacks anxiety
to get to Paris, it may account for
his statement that he was not
abroad to fight but merely to
frolic and finally, it may account
for the string of set-ups that has
been arranged for him when he re-
turns to this country. Greb in
Philadelphia and Bill Brennan at
Michigan City.

New York, April 21.-Casual
gloom is lifted in Detroit by the
fact that Harry Heilmann is lead

troit is at the tail end of baseball
Ty Cobb said he did not expect TO
win championship this year. En-
tering the fray in that calm and
resigned spirit he has nothing TO
mar his peace of mind except
casual scraps with the umplres, a
hath to which all managers are
addicted. Heilmann not only IS
fighting again for the batting cham
pionship but he is hitting the ball
over 500, which in baseball Jargon
means the fight of heavyweight.
March winds have made
muddled mess of the major league
races. Teams with old and sea-
soned pitchers find their antique
relics so bound up of muscle that
they are not getting any pitching.
The managers are guessing horribly
as to what they have got.
Washington, which doesn't boast
the best pitching staff, but which
had hopes of its pitchers, is having
the same trouble as Brooklyn. Not

The momentary sensation OF
both leagues is the Chicago Ma

couldn't see it with opera glasses

second in the race, having crowded
out the st. Louis outfit. The mo-

about the way hickey tries to handle

medicine in Pittsburgh.
The Cubs are not hitting the ball
so tremendously hard ror are they
building fires under the world
with their good fielding but they
are doing everything they try in a
timely manner and their teamwork
is uniform for the moment. After
, the older players get thawed out
the Cubs may lose their spring
vigor. That frequently happens.
The opening game of the Amer
lean league in New York was played
to the smallest crowd that ever at
tended such a contest The fans
said it was because New York is
sore on the Lands decision which
has benched Ruth. The chances
are, however, that the weather had
much to do with it. Ruth Joined the
