quently claimed, Dazzy Vance. of
the Robins. should be as wide as d
house, in a baseball sense, anyway.
The speedball artist has seen service
In a greater variety Of diamond
leagues and cities than probably any
other player in the game. He has
pitched in eight different leagues and
on twelve distinct clubs since his ad-
vent into professional baseball in
1912.
Dazmarine began his tourist act in
that year as soon as he had gotten
out Of the Hastings, Neb., high
school, where he had cut quite a
figure as hurler. A fan of that
Furnishing town called the work Of
vance to the attention of the
manager Of the Superior team in
the Nebraska State League, and the
youngster was given a job with that
club.
He remained with 1t until late In
the rall OF 1914, when he was traded
10 the Hastings team in the same cir.
cult. He worked in that town for
another season and then began on
MS merry go-'round journey in al.
most every part Of the country where
baseball is played.
his next appearance was with st.
Joseph, of the Western League, and
during the next three years Dazzy
played with no less than nine teams.
from st. Joseph he came up for his
rlrst big trial with the Yankees, but
ne could not control his fast ball. and
the Yanks let him out.
He then bobbed up with the
Pirates, but again failed, and we
next find him tossing them up for
Columbus in the American Associa-
ton. From there he wandered back
to st. Joseph, to Toledo in the Ameri-
can Association and down to Mem.
phis in the Southern Association.
Rochester, in the international
League. was his next stopping point.
He followed with a season on the
Sacramento club in the Pacific Coast
League. and was then sent back to
Memphis again.
The Tennessee metropolis trades
Vance to New Orleans in the same
league in 1920, and it was then that
the Dodgers picked him up. Last
season, his first as a member of the
Robins. Dazzy turned in eighteen
wins against twelve defeats, and
ranked ninth among the National
League hurlers. He led the circuit
in strikeouts, whiting 1874, and also
scored six shut outs, the high mark
for any one pitcher in the National.

UNCLE SAM HAS
ONE BUMPER
CROP

Uncle Sam is going to reap one
bumper crop in 1924. The seeds that
he planted on the athletic field dur
ing the dark war days have sprouted
and grown to. bear in a manner
that promises the greatest American
Olympic team in the history OF anna
teur' athletics.
Going through the track and field
list. one finds every branch crowded
with performers who will force the
plane of competition way above the
1920 level. Sprinters. runners.
jumpers, and weight men are going
great guns in their pre-Olympic COM
petitions.
The Olympic urge is being felt
wherever athletics are known in the
United States. The leaders Of today
will be hard put to retain their posi-
tions in next summers tryouts be-
cause of the youngsters who are
coming to the front with a rush.
The case Of Joie Ray. the great
little miller, is one in point.
In spite of the fact that he's run.

Ray is by no means certain Of a
place on the Paris team. His rivals
are numerous and speedy-Watson
and Buker, OF Chicago; Walter
Higgins, of New York; Connolly, Of
Boston, and others constituting as
many threats against Joie's Olympic
team hopes.

DAUBERT AYERS
GIANTS CAN Be
BEATEN

Jake Daubert. veteran first sacker
but who, in spite of his many
years Of service is now fielding
his important position in the Reds
infield as we'll as ever, gave his
opinion of the National League
race and views of other baseball
matters in a tanning bee the other
day. Daubert Is a close observer Of
happenings in his profession. an
interesting talker and one whose
opinion cannot be taken lightly.
According to Jake. the Giants are
the class Of the league. but in spite
Of their advantage over other clubs
they are not going to walk off with
their third consecutive pennant.
Jake does not say the Giants will
not win the flag once more. but in
his mind the champion must i'm.
prove in their road work in order
to emerge on the top.
THE schedule does not favor the
Giants" says Daubert. They
slumped in their first Western trip
and their next two trips through
the West may not be any easier.
When the clubs are going down
the homestretch the Giants will be
in the West. as they spend the last
two weeks of September playing
the Cardinals. Cubs. Pirates and
our club. McGraw has great
team. but his pitching staff is Just
an ordinary one. Batting and field.
ing must offset the weakness in
the hurting department. If not
the team is doomed to be beaten
out.
LAS a result Of their first un-
successful western trip the race
frightened up, and that was a good
thing for the game. They may
pick up while playing at home
but what they gain on the Polo
Grounds will not help them If they
falter each time they go West.
Every other team in the league Is
after their scalp. Their first west
ern trip proved to the other clubs
they are not unbeatable. and we
have just as good a chance to over
haul them as the Pirates"

American Has Huge
Advantage In
Sport Talent

Much lament is heard be-
cause England and Australia,
the one-time centers of pugil-
ism, have fallen far behind the
procession. 1t isn't because
the courage or the fighting
ability of the Briton has de-
creased that the isles have no
champions, but rather because
the sport in other parts of the
world is progressing faster.
The melting: pot in this
country has brought about
intraracial conditions here
which have had an effect on
pugilistic talent. The sport is
growing fast in other parts, as
in South America and the Phil
ippines. The United States has
the advantage of having a pre-
ponderance of talent to pick its
champions from, not only in
pugilism but in all other sports.
