Tampa. Fla. March .4.-Walter

his share of tough luck during the
last four or five years. :,
1t has so happened that tough lrck
hits Walter in the spring OF cach

sions. illness TO himself has greatly
handicapped his spring training.

more spring conditioning than he
once did.
Illness OF his young son is keeping

Joe Tinker SOutherner Now

From a sportin. standpoint. Joe
Tinker is the big figure in the bustling
burg Orlando, Fla, where the Cincin-
natl Reds are doing their spring
training.
From a business angle, Joe Tinker.
IS a member of the real estate firm
of Tinker & McCracken, is equally
prominent.
Who is Joe Tinker?
Surely every baseball fan remem-
bers the old double-play combination
Tinker to Evers TO Chance. Well,
that's the Tinker.
No doubt many of the old-time fans.
and some Of the younger generation
who got a glimpse of Joe when he
was one of the real stars of the Ma
tional League, have often wondered
what had become of him.
He is one of the boys the home
town papers refer to as highly re-
spected, very popular and extremely
well-to-do citizen.
The year Tinker dropped out of
major league baseball he decided to
spend the winter in Florida and hit
on Orlando as the place. The ar

the baseball world in Orlando for the
winter was soon spread over town by
the village gossips. When spring
rolled around Tinker was the best
known and about the most popular
citizen in the community. Orlando
had baseball franchise in the Flor
ida State League. Tinker was soon
to depart TO take charge of a big
minor league team. The home folks
wondered If there wasn't some way TO
keep Tinker with them the year
around. Then some one hit on a happy
solution-make him manager of the
Orlando team.
A committee called upon Joe and
rendered him the offer. The salary
offered, and the liking that Tinker
had formed for the town, caused him
TO accept. To make a happy ending
to the affair, Tinker won the pennant
for Orlando.
That one year tended TO make a
sure-enough southerner out of Joe

Speaker Still i'm Love With Sherrod on
His 1920 Showing.

lakeland. Fla, March 24.-Con.
trary 10 the belief in some quarters,
Sherrod Smith. secured from Brook
lyn, is not TO be used merely as re-
lief pitcher by Cleveland.
The big left-hnnder, who was waived
out of the National League. II reck-
oned as n regular by Speaker. The
leader Of the Indians feels that Smith
will fill long-felt want on the Cleve-
land ball club, n southpaw able to de-
liver.
There wasn't a chance 70 send
Smith TO the minors when Brooklyn
asked for waivers" said Speaker in
discussing the case.
"The very mention Of the name
Smith always took me back 10 the
1920 world series and the trouble h.
made for us. | never saw better
pitching than Smith put on display in
that series.

found all of these men had perfect
marks. Then il was agreed to count
the hits of the sixth and seventh
men of both teams. and the score still
remained n tie without a miss. The
eighth and ninth men had scores Of

man turned in % to his opponents
Us. out Of a possible 100, and the

Connie has nothing 10 worry about
so far as catchers are concerned. He
has two who stand well enough for a
major league team. One OF them,
Perkins. stands at the top or so near
to it that he can always put his hand
on the lightning rod. The other may
not be quite so nimble as his rival.
but he can hit. Bruggy fell into clover
when he was taken on by the Athletics
as he seems TO have found team
which is congenial TO him. Moreover,
the team likes Bruggy.
Has Speed or Wallop.
Mack says he has square squad.
He can make up one team which has
speed enough to enter sprint race
, against the herd of deer in the 200.
That team is all speed and little
minus on batting. He can make up
another team which can hit but is
as heavy-footed as string OF can,els'
What be is trying TO do is to balance
what he has.
One of Comics youngsters, Nc
Gowan. is as good-looking a specimen
Of physical manhood as there is in the
training camps.
Walker. Miller and Welch are not
going to hit any weaker than they did
last year. Matthews, who was brought
in from Milwaukee. is being tried out
in the lead-off position most of the
time with the regulars and when the
season begins il is pretty safe to say
that lead-off will be his regular job;

Any way that you look at The

PULLING FOR MELLEN
Americans in England Hope Oxford

BY the Associated Press.

Puttney. Eng, March 24.-For the
seventy-fifth time since 1S41. the Ok
ford and Cambridg, cre,;s are ready to
dip oars in the Thames Saturday to
settle this years inter-varsity rowing
supremacy.
Most of those who daily during the
past fortnight have watched the Fights
practice over the historic upstream
course from Puttney to Mort Lake are
inclined to the belief that Cambridge
this year has the better crew; but by
all It is conceded that Oxford. stroked
by W. L. Mellen, an American youth
from Concord, student in Brasenose
College. has its best eight since the
war and they would not be surprised
by Dark Blue triumph.
Many American residents of Eng
land are hopeful of seeing the Ameri.
can pull the Oxford shell TO its first
victory since 1913.
In n speed test over the course
yesterday Mellcn carried the crew at
II strokes TO the minute. Previously
in test the Oxford boat was sent
over the full coarse of four and half
miles in near record time.
Mellen is the lightest man in either
OF the shells, weighing only 155
pounds.
In the Oxonian boat is another
American, X. X. Kane, a Harvard
graduate, who pulls to number four

The entire Cambridge personnel IS

In weight the crews are about equal.
the Oxford oarsmen averaging III
pounds and the Cambridge men 40.
The railway officials estimate their

LARRY GARDNER WILL

WHO SUCCEEDS HIM

Infielder Fears the Bench

BY Billy Evans.

BY Billy Evans.
Lakeland, Fla, March 24.-"If sit
ting on the bench is a soft job in base
ball, this is going 10 be an easy season
for me-
That is the comment Larry Gardner
passed to me as we watched Walter
Lutzke, the new third sacker o. the
Cleveland team, in action.
Larry Gardner, one OF the greatest
third sacke-s in the history OF the
game. veteran who is closing re-
markable career. player who is dis

seems destined to crowd him off the
far corner.
Sitting on the bench may be a soft
job for some players" continued
Larry, but fear it is going to be a
hard one for me. like to be in there
every day.
However. ] think l will be able 10
help Spoke lot before the season is
over. | hope TO be of considerable use
as pinch hitter, and then there is the
possibility that some of the boys will
be hurt and ] can fill in. In between
times possibly can tell Lutzke few
Of the things / know that will improve
his play"
That is the Larry Gardner type of
player. He is for the team all the
time. If Lutzke at third will give
added punch to the Indians. no PLAYER
on the team will be stronger for the
move than Gardner. His big job will
be helping Lutzke polish off the rough
spots.
Lutzkc certainly impressed me most
favorably. His every move reminds
me of Bill Bradley.
I have no doubt as TO his fielding
ability. He has one of the finest pair
of hands | have ever seen on a ball
player.
What he will hit against major
league pitching is n question. but sure
ly any player who can swat the pill for
an average of .325 in the American
Association should hold his own at the
bat in fast company.

Leo Diegel. another famous pro, to
task for his lack OF golf style.
Don't copy the style OF Diegel,

Whereupon Leo Diegel announced
that the big thing for him in golf

in every tournament in which the
two were entered.
Diegel made good in the first meet

of three strokes less than that OF
Sarazen.
Diegel has an unusual style that
differs considerably from that used by
