Between 1880 and 1890 the hard coal
fields turned out such base ball play
ers as John (Buck) Freeman, whose
home run record stood for twenty
years; Hughie Jennings, former man
ager OF the Detroit Americans and
now John J. McGraws able lieuts zen :
ant with the New York Giants; Billie
Goeckle, former star first baseman
of the Philadelphia Nationals; James
(Steamer) Flanagan, once a member
of the Pittsburgh Pirates; Al Gil
lespie, the old New York outfielder:
(Buck) Walsh, former members of
the Chicago Americans; Frank Barker,
once a Giant catcher, and Mike and
John ONeill, the st. Louis battery of
years ago.
All of them were developed in the
suspensions similar to that now in
effect. In the old days base ball in
the coal regions was confined to
youths of American, Irish, English,
WEIGH, Scott and German ancestry.
Not so today. The sons of Polish,
Slavish, Russian and italian immi-
grants, most of whose parents can
not speak English, have taken to the
game with an enthusiasm unsurpassed.
Many of them have realized the am
bition to become big league players
and others are on the way. Among
them are the Coveleskie brothers.
Harris of Washington, McNally of the
Yankees. Shorten of Detroit. Steve
O'Neill of Cleveland and Katch of
the Reading Internationals. Kochinski,

others are being given tryouts with

OF all the pitchers of eastern major
league clubs none seem better collective
ly than those of Brooklyn. The Giants
have a little power in the box, but they
don't look the equal OF Brooklyn right

The Boston Nationals seem to be better
off for the moment than the Red Sox.
The New York Americans have got to

ing again.
In the west both st. Louis clubs are
yelling murder about sore-armed pitch
ers. but they always do about four days
before the season is on. Doak has been
having a sore arm for two or three
years. Spitball pitching is accountable
for it. One of these days the splitter

Cincinnati has uncovered nothing and
Cleveland seems to be due for better
pitching than it got in 1921. Detroit
knows it has pitching weakness and
Pittsburgh is as equally sure that it
has hurting strength. Pittsburgh has
one of the best corps Of pitchers in
either league.
Both Chicago clubs are hard up for
pitching. The Sox miss Kerr and will
continue to miss him if they can't patch
up their troubles. They have not any
thing to spare in the pitching line.

Where kirkwood Fails.
Kirkwood is good at that, but the
same reasons prevent him being more
successful than other players when
it comes to competition. He can dis
cover the cut necessary to bring the
ball back to him, but when it comes
to estimating the beckspin necessary
to drop it dead to the pin from vary

by the eye. he cannot keep up with
Evans. who can hit dozen balls $50

of the flag from all sorts of distances.
Another stunt that theoretically
calls for perfect play is to drive a
ball off a watch face or from beneath
the foot of person. but that merely
requires eXactneSs in the trajectory
Of the club. and a slice or hook might
result if the club head followed or
preceded the hands, respectively.
Kirkwood also can put an extended
slice or hook on ball. but that play
is used by Jock Hutchinson. British

premiers of the game just as eff

The plausible reason why they ex-

they get in secluded part of the
