TINKER THINKS PETE
DONOHUE BEST SINCE
MATHEWSON STARTED
Texas Boy Gets Great Gobs
of Praise From Old Chi
cago Shortstop.

"The greatest, pitcher who has
broken into the National League
since the days of Mathewson.
"The nearest to Big Six ] ever
expect to see. He reminds me OF
Matty every time / see him wind up.
There is ease and grace to every
motion.
"The remarkable thing ABOUT that
fellow is that he stepped right from
the college diamond to the big
league, finished pitcher"
That's Joe Tinker's opinion Of Pete
Donahue, star pitcher of the Cincin-
natl Reds. 1t was an unsolicited
testimonial as Donahue was busy
pitching in batting practice.
Pete Donahue is the youngster who
joined the Reds several years ago,
direct from college in Texas and won
fame overnight. After his first game
he was voted a star recruit, real
big Lacquer, and he has since liy6tI
up to that reputation.
Donahue is expected to carry
much of the Cincinnati pitching bur-
den this year. He is trifle heavier
than last year, which is good news
to Manager Moran. who would like
to see even 10 pounds more to his
star pitchers weight, we'll realizing
that Donahue has busy season
ahead of him.
"A great pitcher and a fine boy
is Manager Moran's sizeup of Pete
Donahue.

hit we'll he has his future in the
majors whether Sisler plays or does
not.
On the whole, burst seems to be
more natural first-baseman than
Robertson is rd-baseman, but that
does not alter Fohfs intention to make
a third baseman out of Robertson.
In trying to work these two young
sters into the regular team, Foil is
undertaking greater task than any
manager is undertaking today in base
ball. s....
Both manager and first-baseman
will have TO run the gauntlet all the
year because losing a player like Sis
Ter means just as much as losing one
like Ruth or Cobb.
Sure They Can Beat Yanks.
The speed of the team has not been
affected by the change except that
burst will have to prove that he can
run bases like Sisler. Yet the change
has upset the preseason calculations
on the possibility of the Browns being
runners-up this year. They have so
much confidence in the super-strength
and skill Of their batteries that they
express no fear of any team and they
are aching to get at the Yanks.
Sisler or no Sisler the team is GER
tain that they have "New York's
number" Talk with the players and
they'll tell you that the champions
will find it harder going against st.
Louis than they found it in 1922.
I'VE know how to play that team"
said Foil. talking for his players.
"All ! am going to say is that the
Browns need not be picked as fail
ures or broken down because we are
likely to lose Sisler."
It's a plucky manager who Is
handling St. Louis and if you talk
with the players you will find they
are plucky lot too. They've got
fight in them.
Almost knocked over before season
started, they are back on their feet
with their lips shut tight and aching
TO get going.

THE TEXAS Lacquer.

New York, April 1T is often
the case that the ball is batted over
the shortstop's head. or the second
basemans head. and three fielders will
run for it and the ball fall to the
ground between them while they look
blankly at each other and grin sheep
ishly. Sometimes they ere disposed
to be critical of each otffcr but, in
asmuch as one is about as badly at
fault as another. it doesn't pay to
scold the other one or two.
When this happens there are times
that it is the fault of the player Civ
ing the signals. 1t is very danger
Gus for men to run together in the
outfield and when they see that there
is danger of collision many times
the ball is permitted to drop to the
ground rather than have the men
take a chance of a broken leg or a
split head.
Most young scorers are prone to
put this down as an error on the part
of fielder and then they are puzzled
as to which fielder should be charged
with the error. They want to give
it to the shortstop if it looks as il
he could have got the ball, or to the
left fielder if the ball went further
out than the limit of the infield.
The play should be scored as a
base hit and not as an error and il
the batter actually can run it out
and make two bases on II he should
be given two bases. That has hap
pened under unusual conditions when
the ball bounded badly and to one
side.
1t is quite true that many such
flies should be caught and could be
caught If mix-up in signals did not
happen. 1t is not always because
of mix-up that the players fail to
get the ball as high wind may take
1t away from player just when it

NO FUSS AT BOUTS
Cleveland Boxing Show Conducted
Sedately in Splendid Hall.
Cleveland, Ohio, April IAN e,


Cleveland, Ohio, April IAN even.
ing of boxing in the Public Hall here
presents spectacle worth going far to
see.
The boxing itself isn't Of the cal
iber to become madly excited about /;
in fact, it is rather second-class. This
is due, of course, to the municipal
ruling which permits amateur bouts
only. The boys who mix it are un-
known outside of Cleveland.
But aside fro4 that-caramba! !
Public Hall is one of the biggest
things of its kind. At one far Corner
is a magnificent stage a really huge
thing. Here a jazz band plays. The
floor, with the ring in the center, is
immense, and above its sides and
rear rise in graceful loops a majes-
tic balcony, so spacious that the cCr-
ners way back are almost lost in
shadows. The entire auditorium is
said to seat $4,000.
No smoking is permitted and a
liberal supply of bluecoats are on
hand to enforce the ruling. Very
little of the usual yelling, SO closely
associated with boxing matches in
the past, may be heard. Spectators
vent their passions with mild hand
clapping.
1t is easy to get your corerct
seat at one of these stows-and. any
prize fight fan will appreciate this
as it is at any legitimate theatrical
production.
In other words. Cleveland row has
the lest hall for boxing matches. and
the best manner of harding bouts of
any city in the country, those who have
been here declare.

punch if it lanIs, but lie is wild with
it. He uses the right more like a
club than battering ram. Dempsey's
right goes straight across. Firpo's
travels in an arc, a slower and less
accurate way of hitting. Less Earring
too, because a straight-driven blow
with the forearm lined behind it car
ries more momentum at the point of
impact. A straight blow is also much
harder to block than a curving blow.
Dempsey Can Take 1t.
Dempsey is fully as hard to jar
as Firpo. He was only Jared back
by Carpenters hardest right on the
point of the chin, and when fresh
Carpenter can hit. Brennan, socked
Dempsey often on the jaw with no
visible effect. Firpo staggered under
some Of Brennan's blows early in the
fight.
Firpo's lighting advantages are his
height, weight, reach and strength.
He is half an inch over six feet two.
His reach is phenomeLal-79 inches.
His shoulders are broad, and his
chest, A inches normal with an ex-
pansion of nearly six inches, shows
the source of his endurance.
He has a large head, high cheek
bones and strong jaw, set on a short
seventeen-inch neck.
In this he $ almost a picture of
Jeffries. He also has the grim de-
termination that made Jeffries a
fighter.
When he was apparently badly
dazed and cut by Brennan's punches
and tie referee seemed likel. to stop
the fight to save him he brushed the
official aside and went after Brennan
with a headlong rush.
Began at Age Of "a.
Jeffries was only "a when he won
the championship, and was improving
his boxing in every fight. He started
when he was nineteen. Firpo began
boxing at n, when. his habits of
mind and movement were already
formed and hard to change.
Although Firpo may not be another
Jeffries in everything, he is likely to
beat a lot of heavyweights by sheer
fury and persistence and strength.
Tex Richard is =. good Judge of
-ishtSAS' 1ic OuSul u De. W men the
first ballyhoo over matching Firpo
with Dempsey went up after the
Brennan fight. Richard said little.
Later he said Firpo was one of the
greatest heavyweight prospects he ever
saw, but "in need of seasoning"
His judgment was shown when he
spoke of matching Firpo against Billy
Miske, Bob Roper, Jack Renault or
Ell Reich. He finally picked Jack Nc
Auliffe for May l..
The way the cards lay, it seems
likely Firpo will meet the winner of
the Johnson-Willard bout about July
4 and the winner of the event will
be matched with Dempsey on Labor
Day.
Firpo is willing and has a fight
ing heart. He is a giant in strength
and if he can develop a left hand
and hold back that bruising bunch an
his right for emergency he may up
set ell the dope" and come through
with colors flying.
One thing sure, it would add a lot
of excitement to the boxing situation
to have a worlds heavyweight champ
ion from the Argentine.

ONE ROOKIE SUCCEEDS
Wiginton Only Young Pitcher to Make
Good With cardinals.

st. Louis, April From a pitching
standpoint, the spring training trip of
the Cardinals at Bradentown. Fla,
seems destined to prove a failure, as
far as the recruits are concerned.
OF the many pitchers taken South
only one has show. enough stuff to
impress Manager Hickey that he is
up TO the major league standard.
That pitcher Fred Wigington, a
big right-hander from the Nebraska
State League.
Eddie Dyer, left-hander from Rice
Institute. Texas, is promis ng. but
Hickey intends to make an outfielder
OF him, so as to ut.iiye his speed and
batting ability.
All of which makes IL seem that
the pitching burden will be entirely
up to the veterans.
Rickey's list of veterans include
| Pfeffer, Sicrdell. Toney. Haincs,
Doak, North. pertica and MARRIOTT.
Hickey feels that Pfeffer and Sher.
dell will deliver and Is hopeful OF
getting much aid from Tone-, Haines
and Doak.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-04-08

seems as if he is bound to reach il.
1t is also true that fielder will
misjudge such q hit and misjudge it
badly because the wind has twisted
the ball around while the fielder was
trying to gauge it.
No matter what may have happen
ed, the short fly, which is the equiva-
lent of a Texas Lacquer, should be
entered in the score as a base hit.
A "sun hit" is the same thing. If
the fielder looks sQuarely into the
sun as he is trying TO catch the ball
he loses sight of it and he is not to
be punished for some natural cause
which he could not avoid.
A real Texas Lacquer is short
fly over the infield which no one can
catch-outfielder or infielder. There
are some of that kind every season
and there have been some hitters who
could place hits for Texas Leaguers.
1t would be manifestly unjust to pun
ish them by. trying to figure that such
fly should be caught.
1t may be extremely annoying to
the scorer to see one of his home team
become mixed up on one of these bona
fide or neat Texas Leaguers and he
may feel so indignant that he would
like to punish some player for not
catching the ball but the scorer is
not operating the game on the theory
by which he thinks it should be played
but as matter of record. When
there is any confusion on the part of
the fielders. as described, he is not
to be permitted to say that this or the
other fielder should be charged with
a fielding error because he made a
mistake "in the head
For quite some time there was dis
position on the part of scorers in
some cities to put plays down as
they thought they should have been
made but that isn't scoring. 1t is
simply biased and personal record
ing OF the various moves that have
been made by the fielders and the bat
tiers. and it is at variance with that
which actually took place.
