GLENDALE GREYS
WILL PLAY MESA
THIS AF FTERNOON

MESA, Mar. 18-Mesa versus Glen
dale is the battle scheduled as q sea-
son opener to attract Mesa fans to
the ball park on Sunday afternoon.
The game has been on and off and
on most of the week, owing to the
wet weather, but old Sol came out
with such a determination Saturday
morning that arrangements were
made once more to stage the contest.
The pits and the diamond were baled
out Saturday and the whole field will
be worked over Sunday morning for
the afternoon game.
The Mesa Jewels will go onto the
field with a nucleus of last year s
team remaining to direct the all inn
portant team work. Rollie Pomeroy,
veteran center fielder with the club,
is captaining the Jewels this season
and he and Manager Parsons have
been busy the past week selecting
their lineup for the initial game.
Lou Gill will pitch. So much has
been settled and that in itself means
more than half the game won for the
locals.
Sewell will make his initial appear
ance in a Mesa uniform behind the
bat Sunday. Price, first base; CIuff,
second base; Butler, third base; Nor
tensen, shortstop; Harris, left field;
Pomeroy, center field; Rollins, right
field, is the way the rest of the club
will line up. Bond, Blakley and Lush
will be on the bench for service If
needed.
The Glendale Greys have been
playing winter ball and are in fine
fettle for Sundays game and come
with the added promise that it will
be hard battle for the locals. Play
will be called at 2:30 and Harry
Mesa to handle the indicator again
Sunday.

WESTERN GIANTS.
PLAY CASEYS At
.EASTLAKE PARK
THIS AF FTERN0ON

The Caseys play the Giants at
Eastlake park this afternoon. start
ing at 2:30 o'clock, according to the
announcement of Chairman Geenen
Of the X. of c. baseball committee.
Geenen says the Caseys are out
after the valley championship and
with the material already signed he
feels that he can beat any team in
the valley.
Every player in the lineup today
has agreed to continue the season
with the Caseys and will officially
open the season on April in Casey
uniforms. Geenen says the players
have pledged themselves to work in
harmony and for the best interests
of the Casey club.
Finley Westfall will play left field
and be lead off man for the X. of c.
team. Finley is a good sticker and
one OF the most reliable outfielders
in the valley. Teaney will follow
Finley at bat and will cover the ter
ritory around second base: Murphy
will play right field and he can be
depended upon to hammer in many
runs during the seasons; Geare will
play on the dizzy corner and hit as
cleanup man: ludlow will be back
at his old position at first where he
made good last year; Hickey will do
the hurling and Phat WestfalI viii
do the receiving and carry the bur-
den of hitting: Golden and Curtis
will alternate at short and McCloud
will play center field: Bluementhal
and Joyce will substitute wherever
needed
The lineup looks good on paper
and II the boys play together they
will give the fans some good base
ball this summer.
The Giants viii have the same
lineup they started the season with:
Phillips, Teddy and Arbou in che out
field: Wilson. first base: Bailey. sec
ond base; Haywood, third base:
Fritz. shortstop; f. White, catcher:
and Wiz White. Caldwell and Rich
ardson, utility.
Today's game should be a good test
Of the strength of the Caseys. as the
Giants are recognized as one OF the
strongest teams in the valley.

Ruth s Bot Reaches Limit
Under Rules of Baseball
sY BILLY EVANS.

Does tho Yeisht of Babe Ruth's bat
| have anything to do with his remark
able ability to smash out home runs?
Ruth uses a bat that weighs IS
ounces. Cobb, Speaker. Sisler. Horns
by and many of the other leading bat
ters use a stick that weighs between
IS and 40 ounces.
Does the IS TO 20 ounces more
weight that Ruth carries in his bat
explain why it is so much easier for
him to make home runs?
Recently l received an inquiry from
Detroit fan on this point. He feels
that the weight of Ruth's bat tells
the story of his slugging ability. The
fan believes there should be certain
weight restrictions imposed. Here is
his letter:
I'm an article written by you rela-
tive to Ruth's slugging ability / no
ticed that he uses bat much heavier
than the other great hitters of the
modern game.
'Is it true that he uses the longest
and heaviest bat of any player in the
major leagues?
"Is there any Limitation as to the
size and weight of bat that can be
used?
Il am OF the opinion that Ruth's
heavy bat is what makes possible his
honne-run hitting. Don't you think
there should be limit to the weight
of the bat if there is no such pro-
vision in the rules?
Ruth's Bat is the Limit.
It is true that Ruth uses the heav-
lest and longest bat The rules pro-
vide the bat cannot be longer than
AZ inches. Ruth's bat is the limit.
At the thickest part, the rules say,
the bat cannot be over 2% inches in
diameter. Ruth also goes the limit
there.
Unlike a great many players. Ruth
likes a rather small handle. In that
respect alone his bat is smaller than
used by most players He grasps
the bat firmly and finds the smaller
handle enables him to get tighter
grip.
The rules say nothing as to the
weight of the bat Ordinarily 40
ounces is far too heavy for most
players.
Ruth, however, is one Of the excep-
tons that bob UP in any sport every
nov and then. He has a wonderful
pair OF arms and tremendous driving
power.

Woman Billiard
Stars Found In
Wealthy Homes

Practice is essential to success in
every line OF sports endeavor. This
probably is more true in billiards and
pocket billiards than any other game,
and that is the view taken by Miss
Frances Anderson, worlds woman
pocket billiards champion, who will
give two exhibitions at the Morgan
Billiard parlor on East Washington
street this afternoon and evening.
The great trouble with women
players Is that they do not have the
opportunity to practice" said Miss
Anderson. You see, when men play
from morning till night they have a
chance to develop to a far greater
extent than women. When / am on a
tour as / am now, the only practice
get is in giving exhibitions and that
is not good practice. A woman is
under great strain when giving exhi-
bitions because she is self conscious
where man is not. A woman ina
gines that every one who says a word
in the room is talking about her: that
throws her off; she makes a bad
shot. and the bad shot gets her off
her game entirely
Women cannot. compare with men
as billiard players. ! admit that
know that while / can make il inter-
esting for the average amateur male
player, am not in a class with Ralph
Greenleaf and / don't pretend to be-
| am sure, however. that l can beat
any woman in the world and that
should be considered the champion.
Il have entertained in homes of
wealthy families many times and
there ! find the best woman billiard
players, because they have every
facility for practice. You would be
surprised to know the number Of ex-
pert women billiard players among
the wealthy families"
Miss Anderson will give an exhibi-
tion this afternoon at 3 o'clock and
another at o'clock this evening at
the Morgan Billiard parlor.

Very often some slight mannerism
on the part of some player proves a
valuable tip to the opposition.
After the series was over hap
pened to be discussing a certain play
with Carrigan. l remarked that /
was surprised that Boston won in
five games as / had expected the
series to go the limit.
Carrigan simply smiled and said
a little inside dope had aided them
considerably in the victory. The next
year learned what that inside dope
was.
According to the Boston players
Carrigan always had couple Of the
bench warmers do nothing but look
for some act on the part of a GER
tain player that would tip them off
to some valuable information.
1t will be remembered that an in
jury kept Red Doom out of the
1915 series. Eddie Burns, his under
study, was forced to do all the catch
ing. Burns had been developed by
Doom. According to the players
Doom had certain perculiarities that
tipped off certain plays.
Carrigan had a couple of players
watch Burns in the first game to
see if he used the methods peculiar
to Doom. It was soon discovered
that Burns had exactly the same
style as Doom. During the rest OF
the series that information as to
certain signals was used to decided
advantage.
It seems Iris Speaker liked the
idea as used by Carrigan. and it Is a
part of the Cleveland teams strategy
I understand it worked to advantage
in the 1919 series with Brooklyn.

Jack would be fighting every week If
he could arrange furloughs, but his

Because Ruth is a superman Is no

his keen eye and great driving power,
has made it possible for him to hang
up the remarkable record of SO home
