ODouI Seeks Chance to Make Good

Lefty" O'Doul, recently traded by
the New York Americans to the Boston
Red Sox, doesn't take kindly to the
reports that he is to play the outfield.
O'Doul is a southpaw Of no mean
ability. In his last year on the coast
he won something like % games. When
he returned to the Yankees he was
counted on as a regular. Failing TO
show well in his first few starts, he
was relegated to the bench. and seldom
got chance to do anything other than
pinch hit.
Shortly after the o'Doul deal was
made, Frank Chance, new manager of
the Red SoK, announced that he intend
ed to make an outfielder out of Lefty"
and use him regularly because of his
speed and hitting. O'Doul says:
Il want a chance to pitch for Bos-
ton. l feel that / can deliver in the
majors If given a real opportunity 1
never got it in New York. The first
thing l am going TO tell Chance when l
see him is that l want TO pitch for
Boston, not play the outfield.
"If after being given a chance on
the rubber fail to make good, will
be more than willing to take whirl
at the outfield."

Lack Of Talent and Prom
Use Of Tight Races
Necessitate Labor.
START WITHIN A MONTH
Few Clubs Had Courage to
Rebuild in Mid-season
Like Cleveland.
By JOHN II, FOSTER.

Fcopyright. 1923. by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 17.-In less than a
month from today the pitchers of sew
eral major clubs will search out the red
flannels and the rubber sweat shirt and
get ready to seek a hot climate. More
hurlers will be sent to do early pre-
liminary work to get them into condi-
ton for the season to come than ever
before. Owners of the major league
clubs are not shutting their eyes to
the fact that they have to produce
something better in the pitching line
than they have shown if they are to be
successful.
This applies to the leaders Of 1922
as well as the tail-enders, for those
leaders possess a lot of old pitching
talent which may show signs of dry
rot about next June, at which time
some managers may wake to the fact
that they are going anywhere except
to the junk pile.
CIeveland's Action Heroic.
The Cleveland club did one Of the
smartest and most heroic things on
record in a major league race in 1922
when it decided to rebuild before May
was over. In that month it was de-
cided that the Cleveland team was not
going TO get anywhere. Without a
moments hesitation, the president and
managers began to rebuild. Most clubs
in similar cases try to stick it out for
the remainder of the year. hoping TO
break even on the gate receipts and re-
build in the winter.
Not so Cleveland. Before July 4
was more than a prospect, they began
a. 10 ,.ln a,,I h. Al
end of the year they had something
worth while to show the Cleveland
fans. If they had waited they might
+ have slid to the bottom, but by reor-
ganizing last year they figure they have
sure fire first division club for 1923,
and If the teams now above them fall
ter, Cleveland may go up in the race.
Early Start May Win.
The teams which sent their pitchers
out to condition early last year seemed
to have much the better of the argu-
-,uent when the regular season started.
1t is apparent that with so many old
timers trying TO stick through the sum-
mer that arms must be made TO re-
spond early in the year. If the arms
do not respond. one of the teams in the
closely-matched American League race
is likely to pick up enough early games
to give it a winning edge for the cham
pionship.
In the promised three-cornered race
in the National. Cincinnati has a pitch
ing staff which gives much promise.
If Moran can start at a runaway pace
he stands good chance.
Pittsburg looked as IL that team
had the pitchers in 1922. but they did
not come through, especially in the early
games.
The Giant pitchers do not seem to be
rs good as those of Cincinnati and
Pittsburg, but it would be v;ser not
to wager on the collapse of the New
York pitchers.

To Dave Altizer goes the credit OF
creating the most amusing situation l
have ever seen on the ball field.
1t so happened that was forced 20
play the leading role in the episode,
since l was umpire. II it had all been
in earnest, Dave would probably have
been suspended for life for the way he
handled me.
Altizer had just been released by
Cleveland to Chicago. Now if there il
one thing player likes to do, it is go
go well against club that has turned
him loose.
Later in the game, with one down,
Altizer reached first on a hit. The
next batter gave him the hit-and-run
sign. Altizer was off with the pitch.
The batsman sent a terrific line drive
right into the hands of George StOvall,
playing first base. Stovall merely step
ped on the bag, completing a double
play and retiring the side.
As Altizer neared second, the Chicago
coacher at third yelled, "Slide, Dave,
slide" Altizer went into the bag feet
first. Stovall, seeing the hoax, threw
the ball over second into center field.
Getting to his feet Altizer dashed
for third. Joe birmingham got the ball
and threw it badly to Bill Bradley
at third and Altizer kept on his way to
the plate. The throw to the plate beat
Altizer, but the Cleveland catcher pur-
posely missed him.
Then, of course to cap the climax. |
declared Altizer out, although he had
been missed a foot.

Hebrew Institute, IS to 8, and the
First Presbyterians won from the Lau-
rel Heights Methodists, Is TO II, in the
two senior division Sunday School

full in the rough contest.

Keeler's Best Record
200 Hits a Year For
Eight Straight Years

"Wee Willie Keller" left one
worlds record behind him which
has already stood for a score of
years and may never be equaled.
Making 200 or more base-hits is
some feat If you only turn the trick
one season. Keller for eight conse-
cutive years, from 1894 to 1901,
made 200 or more hits.
His low mark in the matter of
hits during that batting streak was
PA. while his best effort was 2i3.
Until last season when Rogers
Hornsby made go hits, Keeler's
mark Of 243 was also league
record.
Ty Cobb during his career, has
eight times made 200 or more hits
during a season, but not in success
sion.
