REVENGE VERY SWEET
TO CAST-OFF PLAYER
Released Ball Stars Come Back
for vindication.
Urban Shocker of St. louis Browns
Known as Nemesis of New York
Yankees-Johnston Gets Even
With the Indians.

Revenge tastes fairly sweet under
ordinary circumstances but there must
be a fierce joy in the public revenge OF
a cast-off ball player.
The Yankees hooked Urban Shock
er to the Browns in 1918 and ever
since then Shocker has been known as
the nemesis of the Yankees. His chief
delight is to pitch to Babe Ruth at the
Polo grounds where all New York may
see, scorning the intentional pass be-
cause he seems to know that he has
more ON the BAN than any other
pitcher in the league.
The Indians got rid of Doc Johnston
because he was too old for a club with
the championship idea. And when the
Athletics recently mauled the Indians
pitchers for 20 hits and % extra bases,
which equaled the major league rec
ord, Doc Johnston took a merry part
in the pasting, with a pair of triples
and a brace of singles in five trips.

BUMT is COMING BACK

The bunt in baseball is due to
come back. The season of 1922
Is certain to e a revival OF
the bunt as an offensive weap-
on. The lively ball and a desire
to emulate the deeds of Babe
Ruth has crowded the bunt
off the baseball map for several
years.
The bunt Is a one-run play.
1t means much to get a one
run advantage under the ordi-
nary conditions. For several
years. however, one run has
meant nothing in the life Of a
ball team.
The lively ball always opened
up possibilities for getting runs
in clusters. For that reason
most teams kissed the bunt
good-by, placing 1t securely away
with the moth balls.
With less lively ball and
better pitching the bunt is sure
to return to popular favor dur
ing this season.
It's a great method to put
the opposition in the air, throw
a pitcher off his stride, n OF
baseball's most dangerous weap-
ons on offenSe.
