Barney Dreyfuss, an individual
who holds the dollar In some esteem,
has been singularly unsuccessful
with his purchases of high-priced
minor leaguers, Marty O'Toole being
notable example. It, therefore.
will be interesting to watch the
development, IL any, Of one Emil
Yde pronounced CE-dee'O, for
whom Barney dug deep and dili-
gently.
Yde pitched in forty.seven ball
games for Oklahoma City last seq
son, winning % and losing IL. He
also hit for the fetching average
Of 1892 in ninety games. The young
man won nine games in succession,
losing the tenth by one run, the
result of a error behind him.
And yet Yde, former undergradu-
ate at Wisconsin and Illinois, hus
been in professional baseball only
since July, 1922.
Everyone will be watching Yde

CAN'T CURE

Here's interesting material on
pitching effectiveness ten years ago
and now. In 1918 Walter johnson
led the American League twirlers
with a record of 1.09 earnde run per
game. Dutch" Leonard, Of the
Red Sox, stood twelfth on the list
that year with an earned run record
Of 2.29 runs per game. Five pitch
Ors were under two runs in the
record.
Now look at 1923. Covelesl1ie, of
Cleveland, leads with 2.76 earned
runs per game; Waite Hoyt is sec.
Ond with 3.01. Shawkey, twelfth
on the list, has 3.61.
In 1918 there were twelve pitchers
who had a better earned run record
than the best Of the 1923 hurlers.
Not SO good. And 1t will take more
than the lively ball to furnish an
