ing Jimmy O'Connell will rattle the
boards of many of the parks in the
National League circuit this summer.
Paying $76, 900 for an untried minor
league ball player is a daring piece
of business, but the California boy
has shown up so well In the spring
training here that Manager McGraw
considers the money well spent. /
Jimmy will start off the season in
center field. Alongside OF him will be
another Californian, Irish Meusel, and
Ross Young. Maybe McGraw will
make some sort of change and
play pep" Young in center and
send O'Connell to right.
The first day that Jimmy worked
out here at League Park, upon his
arrival from his home, convinced
McGraw that he was a fit candidate
for the center field berth that has
been untitled since George Burns left
the Polo Grounds.

.HORNSBY TELLS
|. H|SSECRET Of
HIT TING
Home Run King Of st. Louis
Never Tries to outguess
Pitcher.

LEESBURG. Fla, March IT,
Roger Hornsby, of the st. Louis
Cardinals. leading batsman and
run getter of the National League,
differs from most of the great
present-day hitters in his method
Of attack.
The majority Of players. partic-
ularly those who are in the major
circuits, try to outguess the pitcher.
AS q rule such players have a
batting average in proportion to
the number of correct guesses they
make at the plate. But Hornsby
has a different and far simpler sys-
tenn.
cit may be all right to try to out
guess the pitcher" said Hornsby
last night after he had helped
clean up the Phillies in the first
exhibition game staged here. "BIt
that isn't what do.
II just go UP there and swing at
the ball when It comes over. /
don't try to figure whether he IL
going to throw fast one. a slow
one, a curve, high or low. I just
wait, and see what comes up and
IL I think I can hit It right, take
a cut at 1t. That's all there is to
batting in my opinion.
eff you try to outguess pitcher
you invariably get the worst of 1t
IL you fail. For instance, IL you're
almost sure in your own mind the
pitcher Is going to give you fast
one and you get a curve, see what
happens You're set for speedy
one and when the curve comes you
swing too soon and probably miss
It altogether.

Sets.

NICE. March 17.--Mlle. Suzanne
Lenglen, Of France, won the
women's tennis singles today by de-
feating Miss Elizabeth Ryan, Of
California. in straight sets, 81,
60. The triumph was almost as
conclusive as that scored by Mile.
Lenglen over Mrs. Mallory yestef-
day, the French girl dropping only
one game in four, sets to both
Americans.
Experts are unanimous today In
predicting that Suzanne will con-
tinue as champion for at least two
years, because there seems to be no
one in sight who is capable Of de-
posing her. Asked whom she con-
siders her, strongest opponents.
Mile. Lenglen named Miss Kitty
McKane, OF England, and Miss
Elizabeth Ryan.
''All OF those English players are
better than Mrs. Mallory. u They
beat her almost every time they
play her" she said.
Suzanne has never seen Miss
Helen Wills, the sensational Cali
fornia school girl. and declared that
she had not heard much about her,

That's nothing"
When reminded that Miss Wills
had won several sets from Mrs.
Mallory last fall. Mile. Lenglen said
she believed the American played
just as well on Friday as at any
other time they had met.
"She always nets lots of balls and
drives many outside" was her com
ment. There was nothing unusual
about her inaccuracies Friday"

In this connection, 1t might be
noted that Brown jumps from a
point closer to the bar than most
lathletes, a factor which enables him
to leap almost straight into the air.
And that is q vital factor in his
success. But let us try in our
minds the action Of Browns jump,
which, he explains thus:
IT take off on my left foot, kick
two or, three feet higher than the

starts to come down the left goes

on the second right kick the right

there isn't much danger that he
