THREE-CORNERED DEAL
is BALKED BY EBBETS

NEW YORK, December 1s.-Secre-
tary Tierney of the New York Giants
has revealed that a three-cornered
deal he tried to negotiate at the re-
cent base ball melting at Chicago
with the Cincinnati and Brooklyn
clubs was frustrated by the refusal
of Charles H. Ebbets, Brooklyn own
er, to pass Pitcher Dutch Ruether to
the Giants.
Owner Garry Hermann of the Reds
desired some material from the
Giants, Tierney said. and agreed to
trade some of his players to the
Robins for Ruether and to pass that
pitcher to the league champions. Eb-
bets, however, refused to negotiate
unless it was specified that Ruether
vas not to go to Tierneys club.

Another reason why the minors are
willing to go farther and spend a
little more money is the possibility
of picking up some portion of their
expenses in spring games. Milwau
kee, by going to Florida, in the heart
OF the big league training section,
feels confident it viii get some games
with some of the big fellows.
Milwaukee VIII almost surely meet
the Athletics on the way home, and
also will make an effort to schedule
games with Cincinnati. The connec-
tion between the Athletics and Mil
waukee has been very friendly for
years Milwaukee has provided Con-
ME Mack with players that certainly
have not done the Athletics any harm,
even if they did not accomplish all
that was expected.
Mack'S most recent acquisition from
Milwaukee, Outtieider simmons, car
rieS with it tale of careful watch
ing by the men who look out for
Mack's interests. After Connie had
obtained the services of Strand, most
of the base ball men congregated in
Chicago thought he was through and
one of them asked him if he wasn't
ever going back.

were any number OF shut-out
games and a lot OF small scores.
That's when the pitching was
good.
The Greatest Hit Ever.
There is no doubt, though, that
the lively bail has made a big
change in base running. Man
ayers do not make their men
steal second now except in rare
cases. What's the use OF trying
10 steal second and, maybe, get
ting thrown out when the next
batter might come along and
knock the bali out OF the lot:
Even if he didn't do that. he has
4 good chance of smacking it
past some inhelders. In other
words, there are more chances in
waiting for hit than in trying to
steal second.

I'm just sticking around because
like it," said Mack. And he kept
right on sticking until one morning
when no one was looking he put
through the deal for Simmons. He
went to Chicago with his heart set
on getting Simmons, because Ira
Thomas. who once caught for Mack,
had told him to get Simmons if he
had to give six players and a rat
tailed dog to do il.
Simmons played the outheld for
Shreveport in 1923 Simmons did not
belong to the Shreveport club, which
is operated by Thomas He belonged
to Milwaukee, and when it came time
to call the chickens in. Milwaukee
had exercised its option. Simmons
played about score of games with
Milwaukee late u the year, batted
nearly 400 and Set the kindling wood
on fire too late for any of the scouts
to catch on to his skill. But Mack
had the advantage because Thomas
had been keeping him posted.
OF course, when it was too late for
any one to get Simmons, everybody
wanted him. Il wanted him most of
all" said Mack. He is some Christ

Ruth's Wallop a Real Risk.

ing me last spring about drive
Ruth hit back at Dutch Reuther.
The bali struck him on the thigh
and made him limp for several
days. The blue spot on Reuther's
leg showed the marking OF the
stitches in the ball,
I'll guarantee you" declared
Reuther, "he won't hit another
one back at me like that"
BY that he meant that he would
keep the ball outside or inside so
that Ruth would hit TO one field
or the other.
Now, if | was in the two-thrce
hole on Ruth | doubt very much
if | would lay one over the mid
die and risk getting killed. Many
Of the pitchers have the same
notion. He is passed for that rea-
Eon as much as through lear OF
his getting a hit. That boy is
dangerous man up at the plate
From my own observation and
from talks with other old ball
players, | am pretty sure that the
pitching is not up to the caliber
of a few years ago. The younger
bali players do not seem to study
their business as closely as they
formerly did. 1t is the same with
other players.

Chapter S-Batting -375 With
out the Lively Ball.
BY HANS WAGNER.

~ EFORE leaving Paterson
y behind in this story it is
proper, my editor tells me,
to direct attention to the fact
that in the three years ! had
played professional ball | had led
all the teams and all the leagues
in which ! had been a player i'll
batting. Up to the time L was
bought by Louisville my batting
average for the three years was
about .375. | guess that is why
Barney Dreyfuss paid the 5000
for me.
AT Steubenville my batting av-
erage was .365; at Warren it was
800 For my first full season at
Paterson the average was .354 and
the second season 1872. Those
batting averages were considered
more remarkable then than they
would be now. We didn't have
the lively ball then. To hit 800
was quite All event.
am not quite sure in my mind
whether it is altogether the lively
ball that is causing such heavy
hitting nowadays or whether 1t IS
poor pitching. | am certain that
the restrictions put on the pitcher
have had something to do with it.
Pitchers are not allowed to soil
the ball or use any foreign sub
stance on it, such as resin. Even
the spitball is barred except i'll a
few cases. In the old days the
pitcher could go as far as he liked.
There is no doubt about the
lively ball helping the batter.
Some hits that shoot through the
inheld would have been stopped
in the old days.
Right here let ME bring in an
other subject. Much has been
said about the pitchers waking
Babe Ruth purposely. 1t has been
said that they ought to give him
a chance; that it is unsportsman-
like to pass him.
Everybody seems to be OF the
impression that the pitchers pass
Ruth to keep him from getting 4
hit-that and nothing else. There
is another thing they have over
looked In many cases the pitch
ers pass Babe Ruth simply be-
cause they don't want to risk
getting hit with a ball driven
straight back at them Don't for
get that. Nobody was ever able
to hit a bail with the tremendous
force that Ruth puts into a
swing. 1t is remarkable that he
never has seriously injured a
pitcher. Personally | know that
he always is afraid OF hitting one
back so hard that the pitcher
can't get out OF the way.
