Better Man Than
Ruth in PinCheS
Mogridge Declares That Joe
Was the Toughest Bird
in the Flock.
By DAVIS J. WALSH



NEW YORK, April 5.-Just for
the sake of passing an idle hour IN
Tampa, Fla, where idle hours
abound in great numbers some one
started an argument a TO the reIa-
tive merits Of Babe Ruth and Joe
Jackson as pinch hitters. To the
average mind there seemed TO be no
occasion for the discussion IN that
Ruth had broken all records for run
scoring and driving In runs during
the last two seasons. Yet the argu-
ment persisted.
Some few reckoned Ruth the more
dangerous of the pair, with men on
the runways. but singularly enough
the majority held out for Jackson.
Joe, they declared, carried the YER
dict without a dissenting vote.
There was exactly one baseball
player at sight at the time, and 10
him rushed the heated orators, be-
cause they knew him as one Of the
best left-handers in the American
league and a man who spoke with
authority. Many times had he faced
the men in question and all too Of
ten the occasion was one of those d.
verting moments known as a pinch.
What Mogridge Says:
The man appealed to was George
Mogridge. one-time portsider OF the
Yankees, now the valued property
OF the Washington Senators via a
trade than since has caused New
York no little anguish.
Jackson would be may choice,
was Mogridges unhesitating YER

Not a chance"
Perhaps Mogridge's opinion Is IN
fuenced by the fact that he had a
good year in 1921 against Ruth; per
haps the fact that he didn't have to
pitch TO the Hon Babe during the
latter's first big season in 1920 may
have something TO do with his rea-
soning. It IS quite possible that the
young man speaks words OF infinite
wisdom.
IN any event, there are baseball
men IN plenty who will volunteer.

NEW YORK, april 5.-It used 10

Year for Cobb s
Detroit Tigers
Leonard, Star Hurler, Only
Part of Team Still
Holding Out.
BY RAYMOND PRIEST,
United Press Staff Correspondent.


With several promising young
pitchers and the gaping infeld hole
filled with a capable looking short
stop, Ty Cobb expects to land the
Detroit Tigers in the first division.
With a bunch of clouters that can
average well the Tigers ought TO
do better if their inner defense and
their box work improve.
Emory Rigney. a rookie short
stop from Fl. Worth who hit .292
and felded like a young Wagner
last season. Will fill the hole at
short which crippled the team last
year.
Even if he falls down his work
cannot be much worse than that of
his predecessors.
Johnson and Pillette, the $4,000
pair from the Pacific Coast league,
are expected TO be the pitchers that
Cobb prayed for all last summer.
Johnson has terrific speed and fine
control but not much experience.
Piuette is a steadier hurler, has
seen a lot more work but he hasn't

MINOR LEAGUE STUFF FAILED

Frank Wilson made his debut as
an umUire in the American league

Near the close Of the 1921 race
Lefty" Russell got a chance 20 show
his pitching wares with the Chicago
White SoX.
During the season of 1920 Wilson

base. among them being Joe Judge

After Russell had caught 4 couple
