Red SOX Infield
Is Big Problem
Before Chance
By NEA Service.

by NEN Service.
Boston, Mass, Jan. lin assum-
ing the management of the Boston
Red SoX, Frank Chance accepts about
the toughest assignment in baseball
AS the Red SoX team now stands it
is just fair minor league club.
There is only one feature about
taking charge of the Sox that is to
the advantage of Chance; the fact
that the club finished a bad last in
1923.
Any position in the race other than
last place will be regarded as a step
OF progress. Chance has said that
he will be satisfied with nothing
worse than sixth in his first year
and would like to hear the second
division.
Chances biggest problem is his in
field. AS a matter of fact. he hasn't
any infeld. There are lot of in
field candidates in the Boston roster
but few of them stand out as capable
regulars.
Getting together an infield will be
Chances first big task, then comes
polishing up the pitching staff, the
catchera and the outfeld.

Wagner Hard
For Matty

New York, Jan. 11.-During his
recent visit to New York in behalf
Of the Red Cross drive on tubercu-
losis, Chr sty Mathewson was asked
what batsman was hardest for HIM
to pitch to during his long career in
the Nat onal League.
81 had to work carefully on all
the good hitters," was Matty's mod
est reply, but Hans Wagner was my
biggest troublemaker. always
breathed sigh of relief when we
got rid of Honus."

tainly bear out-Ee impression that
Mathewson had Of Wagner.
Covering per, cd of 16 seasons,
Wagner went to bat 327 times
against Matty and made LOG base
hits for an average of 1920.
Wagner's marx aga nst the pitch

BULLSEYES OF
BASEBALL

Freak plays always create discus
sion. Baseball abcunds IN such sit
nations. -
To Catcher Eddie Ainsworth goes
the credit of pulling the freakiest
bit of base running have ever seen.
Ainsmith who is now catching for
the St. Louis club Of the Nat onal
League was member of the Wash
ington club when he put over his
BIT of base running extraofdinaire.
Philadelphia was play ng at Wash
ington, and had the home team bad
ly beaten. Chief Bender was doing
the pitching for the Athletics.
When Ainsmith singled in the
ninth after two were out, the score
was something Ike 13 to 2 in favor
of the Athletics.
On the first ball pitched Ainsmith
stole second without any oppos ton
one paid any attention to him. The
next pitch was strike, max ng the
count two balls and strike.
Then some wag in the grand
stand started all the trouble by yell
ing, "Why don't you steal home,
Eddie?"
Ainsmith decided to do that very
thing. AS Bender started his wind
up, Ainsmith dashed for the plate.
The run meant moth ng in the game,
and Bender seeing the humor of the
situation, decided to let ,Ainsm.th
get away with the play.
When Ainsmith slid over the plate
in safety, Bender was still winding,
up. A nsmith had gotten to, his feet,
brushed off his uniform, Ind was
half way to the bench, doffing his
cap to the mock applause of the
crowd, before Bencer finally de-
livered the ball.
Sc All would have been well If the
batsman didn't offer at the pitch, but
he elected to SWING, and flied out to
left field, retiring the s de.
Most Of the fans left the park be-
1siring Ainsmith had stolen home.
wheR as q matter Of fact the run
didn't count. Ainsmith's steal start
ed with the windup, which ended in
TIE batter flying out for the final
out, and no runs can score on .

Boston, Mass, Jan. 1.-THE New

be fortified with left-handed pitch
ers the coming season.
Not content with Sake May, the
star of the Coast League last sea-
son, Higgins is anxious to make a
deal for Herb e Pennock, the one

Chance is DESTROYS of getting Nor
man Mcmillan for third base and
Higgins has said he can have him
even up for Pennock.
While Chance is anxious to get
together capable intield, real z ng
the Sox are weak in that department,
he cannot see Pennock for Mcmillan.
'The Sox pitching staff is none too
strong and to let Pennock go would
be big mistake, despite the fact
that Mcmillan would greatly help
US. Just now there isn't chance
for the Yankees to get Pennock."

= Ed Rommel's feat in winning 81
games for team fnising seventh in
the American League race was un-
irg feat of the American League last
season.
Rommel was probably as good Il
pitcher in 1921 as he was last year,
yet few people were talking about
him then. The reason, of course, is
that he didn't win q games in 1921.
Since the close of last season Rom
mel has been the observation-disclosures
figure in baseball. Pitching for the
Athletics, a confirmed tailender for
seven years, Rommel took down 81
victories. In other words, Rommel
was the main reason why the Ath-
letics finished seventh instead of last
in 1922.
What kind of a pitcher is this fell
low Rommel? Rommel certainly
must have word Of stuff? What
about that knuckle ball? Would
Rommel ever lose Il game with Il
first division club? These and scores
of other questions involving the
greatness of Rommel have been fired
at me since the close of the season.
ROmmeI Is Peculiar Type.
Ed Rommel is the peculiar type
of Il great pitcher. To the fan, sit
ting in Il comfortable seat in the
stand. it is probably impossible for
him to figure why Rommel isn't hit
much harder. His speed appears to
be ordinary, and his control perfect
when he wants it to be.
Rommel has good-hut not burn
ing speed. | venture to say that 80
per cent of the American League
pitchers have a better fast ball than
Rommel. His curve is snappy, but
not any better than most of the
other good pitchers in the majors.

FOOT POSITION.

What must be the position of the
feet when jumping from center or
elsewhere for the ball? Often players
shift feet as the ball is about to be
tossed and so position themselves
that they interfere with their op-
ponent. In some cases they actually
step on their opponents feet as a
handicap. Is this legal?
The feet of the jumper must be
within his half of the circle. Such
action described is not to be permit
ted. No player would be able to get
away with it very long with wide
awake referee.

WRONG BASKET.

If player loses his sense of d.
rection and cages the ball in his op-
ponent's basket, does it count for the
opposition?
1t certainly does. That is the pen
atty for pulling such boneheaded
play, which by the way comes up
several times every year.

TOSS-UP.

When the referee losses the ball
up for the centers, is it necessary
that both players jump and make
an effort to touch the ball to make
the play legal?
1t is not, but if the ball is tapped
by some player other than the
jumpers, the referee should toss it
up again and order both players to
jump and make a real attempt to tap
the ball. Failure to comply with the
order can be construed by the ref
cree as foul on one or both for de-
laying the game.
