Ball players are like actors in one
respect. A great many of them seek
to do the things they can't do.
In vaudeville it is quite customary
for the actor who is very clever at
dancing to insist on putting a lot
Ct singing in his act and vice versa.
In baseball it is not uncommon to
see the recruit infielders practicing
in the outfield. while the outfielders
are scattered around the infield dur
ing batting practice.
In other respects. players have
habit of doing stunts at which they
are not proficient, and very often
said stunts play havoc with their
work and their teams chances to-
win.
Very often you find some pitcher
who has enough ordinary stuff to
get by with constantly experiment
ing with some new type OF delivery
that tends to rob him Of some of his
stuff and thereby greatly lessen his
effectiveness.
The slow ball, for instance, is a
difficult delivery with which to get
IG6ulLS. III OIQCI W 4lcLfC a CAOW
ball prove troublesome to the bats
man it must be delivered with cx-
actly the same motion as the fast
ball.
That, is a rather difficult thing to
do With a great many pitchers
there is slight difference between
the way the fast ana slow ball Is de-
hvered. That difference very often
is fatal, for it tips off the coming Of
the slow ball and makes it possible
for the batsnan to get ready for 1t.
In the American league last year
there was a certain pitcher who
would be rated in the first five. Early
last year this particular pitcher re-
sorted to the use Of certain style
ef delivery that for a time almost
ruined his effectiveness.
Using his regular repertoire he
was almost unbeatable. The intro
duction Of the new delivery which
was soft picking, made him only an
ordinary pitcher. 1t took lot OF
persuasion to point out the error OF
his methods. The moment he went
back to his old style he started to win
with regularity.
I know another pitcher who should
be one of the greatest pitchers in
the history of the game. He is that
type of pitcher when the score Is
close or his team is trailing. Let his
team get him a commanding lead
and he becomes a very ordinary
pitcher.
The reason is written around the
desire of this pitcher to experiment
the moment he has working mar
gin. The. pitcher likes to affect
side arm delivery. and a cross fire,
and two or three other things when
he is two or three runs to the good.
The moment he SO pitches lie be-
comes wild and is easy to hit.

THE college. amateur and semi

big chance in the training camps
this year.
The failure to get the minors to
agree to a universal draft plan Is
the cause. Having their field cur

have invaded the ranks of the coll
legians. amateurs and semi-pros.
The remarkable success achieved
by Frankie F'risch of Fordham Col

In the preliminary work this spring
much interest will center around
Glen Killinger with the New York
Yankees and Johnny Mohardt of
Notre Dame. who goes with Detroit.
It is a rather interesting fact that
Killinger and AIohardt were two of
the most talked about football
players in the country last fall. Kill
linger was given a place on Walter
Camps All-American eleven, Mo-
hardt was so honored by many other
football critics.
Killinger is an infielder. At Penn
State he played about every position
on the infield. Hugo Bezdek. who
coached Penn State in baseball as
well as football, says Killinger is
ready for the big show.
Bezdek says Killinger IS best at
third base. In all probability he win
be worked out at that position by the
Yankees. It is a. certainty that Frank

has real chance with the Yankees.
Johnny Mohardt IS a pitcher. Mo-
hardt is evidently a very bright
young man. He has brains as rated
in college. If he can apply them to
the ball field, he will have an adj
ditional advantage.
Tn college football and baseball,
Mohardt is regarded as the last word.
He was one OF the best backfield men
in the country. He had few equals
at hurting the forward pass. In base
ball he was rated one of the best col

SPECIAL PRODUCTION AT THE
 COLISEUM THEATER
R EPU EATON

Critics who have commented upon the strange dramatic power of Re putation". Priscilla Deans super feature to be shown at the Coliseum Theater on Thursday night, have attributed its force 10 the epochal story, the personal magnetism of the star. the elaborate presentation and the admirable direction; but all of them have overlooked a quality to which may be credited its greatest appeal. That is the quality of con- trast.
 Reputation" is made up of con- trast-drastic contrasts which carry thrill with every rapid change from character to character, locale to locale, and incident to incident.
 As the story opens, Miss Dean is seen as a worldly actress in coun- try village, the first contrast. Then comes her European tour where she is feted al magnificent banquets, dazzling in prohigacy.. In contrast 10 this is shown the man she has discarded, friendless, pitiful wreck, wandering in the reeking alleys of Limehouse, the sewer through which the human filth of the world is kept away from the discerning nostrils of London toward the traceless gray immensity of the sea.
 Then, when dissipation has marred her beauty, the woman is shown an outcast n the slums of New York, while her daughter is seen in digni- fled elegance and comfort, taking q place on the stage and impersonat- ing her own mother. :...-.z
 Reputation" has been described as the most dramatic story ever filmed and it is without question Priscilla Deans greatest dramatic triumph.
