Spring Training
Gossip

The recruit pitchers are now get
ting the once over in the major
league camps.
Since pitching is conceded 10 be
the best asset OF a winning ball club.
twirling recruits are greatly in the
majority.
The pitching staffs of the major
league teams now working out in
the south vary from II to 20 men.
Since a major league staff is COM
posed of four or five pitchers known
as regulars Of first string men and
about the same number of second
stringers, a lot of athletes are going
TO be disappointed.
A majority Of the pitching recruits
are six-footers. Some are taller by
several inches. while others fall just
shy Of the six-foot mark
The understood pitcher is very
much in the minority among the re-
cruits. AL Of which makes it seem
that most major league leaders have
a decided preference for the big fell
lows when it comes TO pitching.
Conditions as they exist in the
pitching line brings up the question
whether or not the big husky fellow
isn't a better proposition as a major
league HEAVIER than the little fellow.
II is a rarity 10 see a youngster on
the lines OF Dick Kerr Of the Chicago
White Sox among the spring re-
cruits. Which also reminds US that
Dick had a tough time getting a
chance to show his real ability He
had TO threaten 70 quit the game un-
less sold TO a major league club be-
fore getting a trial.
II has always seemed 20 me that
the ideal type of pitcher was one
who measured anywhere from five
feet nine inches 20 six feet. Such
pitchers usually have a physique
than can stand the wear and tear.
yet are not so ungainly that their
fielding suffers
When "A fellow measures six feet
six inches. or better. it its some dis
lance for him TO stoOp over and han
die a hunt Z major league clubs
know a pitcher is weak on hunts he
gets his fill OF EN-.
The fielding end Of the game is
where the very tall twirlers usually
suffer. However. managers are pc
cullar on this feature. I know one
leader who six years ago wouldn't
have a pitcher who measured over
six feet. Now most Of his pitchers
are that mark or better

Giant Outtieder
Has Ne70 Idea for
Batting Averages
Irish" Meusel Would Credit
Batter With Number of Bases
He Advances Man.
CBy International News Scrvice.)

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. March 10
An outhelder who contributed ma
terially 20 the success OF the New
York Giants last season. Irish"
Mcusel. in spring training with his
teammates here. says he is ready TO
break into the statistician class. He
says batting averages should be re-
vIsed. And he says he is not IN IA
VCr OF the new system simply be-
cause he proved a leader Of it in The
recent worlds series games. He
says his plan will give credit where
credit is due.
Meusers scheme IS TO credit the
batter with the amount OF bases he
advances a man.
IL Is we'll known among baseball
men that some batters are better at
the plate than others when there are
men on the bases. The nervous
tension proves too much for some
Of the hitters.
Dope on Sluggers.
Sluggers who can whale the ball a
mile when the sacks are empty often
take that long walk back 10 the wa
ter bucket when there are two or
three men on the sacks.
Meusers scheme is II a man is on
second base and the batter hits a
long single and scores the runner
the hitter should be given credit in
a special column for three bases
the one he made himself and the two
he advanced the runner.
If the sacks were loaded and he
clea ned them with a double he would
get credit for the two bases he made
himself. the three the man covered
who was on first, the two the man
from second passed and the single
base for the player who was on
third. That would give the slugger
a credit OF eight bases.
How About Scorers?
While MeuseTs system might
make a hit with ball players, ii
would not go over strong with the
scorers.
I'm games in southern California
this winter / have noticed how the
present system OF basing averages
fails TO tell a players true value,
said Meusel.
"A hit that advances a man is
more valuable than one without
anyone on base They are not
worth ten cents a dozen, but imag-
inc how the fans would clamor for n
hit with the bases loaded, or with
only one man on!'
