Connie expects Bishop to hit bet

with his health recovering, the
former Oriole should reveal his
real abilities at second. Bishop Is
one OF the ''tonsil SQUAD recently
ordered to have the tonsils ex-
tracted. Connie believes that the

incapacitated Bishop during the
past season.
Chick Galloway fell Off In 1894
over his 1923 form. Billy EvanR,
other ufnpires and numerous players
informed the writer then that Chick
probably would be the best short
stop In the country in 1924. Connie
believes, however, that Galloway
will revert back to his best etyIe
and fashion In the coming season,
and rank with the first shortstops
Of the majors.
Jimmy Dykes came through Il
grand style at second during the
latter part of -, but Manager
Mack and his mates believe that
the Baron Of Bryn MaWr really
belongs at third base. The hot
corner would be an ideal for Jeems,
as with his iron arm, he could
whip across the diamond and nail
runners who are now able to beat
out pegs by a step.
Such an arm in the course Of a
season means a whole lot to a ball
club. Beating the runner by a step
instead OF having him outfoot your
throw by the same margin, may
spell the difference OF fifteen or
twenty ball games. Games, it
might be stated, that are lost, when
an iron arm would have held them
safely in the embrace Of victory. !,

On his way to the coast, Ruth
stopped off at Minneapolis where
he did several things, as the fol-
lowing clipping from a Western
newspaper indicates: -
"The first time he came to bat
at Minneapolis he drove a ball
over the fence and into an alley
behind garage across the street.
A policeman standing on the roof
threw his cap at the ball, but it
went fully forty feet over his head.
1t was the longest hit ever made
on the Minneapolis grounds.
"The second time up he only got
single, but it crashed against
the right field fence on the first
bound. He duplicated this on his
next trip to the plate, but on his
fourth appearance he should have
gone to first base on four balls.
The crowd wouldn't stand for it.
They wanted the big Bambino to
do his stuff. The next pitch was
ball five, but the umpire said
''Ball one." He was starting all
over again. Finally one came
across the center of the plate and
as Babe took mighty swing the
ball started for the fence and
broke q window in q store outside
the park.
The trip is giving the King of
Swat one thrill after another. He
tried to pay his bill in the dining
ear this morning, but the steward
insisted, "You are the guest of the
Northern Pacific"
That stopped Babe right in his
tracks. give had watches and all
kinds Of presents given me, but
never heard Of railroad handing
out free eats before" Right after
that he asked Elbow about another
order Of ham and eggs?"

Roger Won't Quit.

>AYOW there is talk that Roger
IN Peckinpaugh is thinking OF
retiring from baseball to go
into business in Cleveland with
his brother. Don't worry, he
won't. Most of the talk is based
upon the injury he sustained in
the recent series for the world
championship. He will have re-
covered wholly from that injury
by next February and will be
found on his way to Hot Springs,

was largely due to his remarkably
steady fielding that the Griffs'
infield was the stonewall it was
against all opponents.
Peck is a high type of man.
The cornerstone Of his being is
faithfulness apd courage, both of
which he has shown beyond argu-
ment ever since coming to Wash
ington.
Peck was one of the small
number of Griffmen taken into
the confidence Of Bucky Harris
right from the jump. Others were
Joe Judge, Walter johnson, George
Mogridge, Muddy Ruel and Sam
Rice. Had Bucky listened to them,
he would not have started Fred
Marberry, for instance, in the
third game Of the world series.
Harris took all responsibility for
starting Marberry, but his advisers

York. Later the Duke Of Roches-
ter went to the bat and delivered
in fine style.
Roger Peckinpaugh is today the
greatest shortstop in the major
leagues. He began playing regu-
larly with the Cleveland Indians
back in 1912. In 1921 he was the
crack shortstop Of the champion
New York Yankees.
Then things happened. It had
been half promised to Peck that
he would succeed Miller Higgins
as manager Of the Yankees, but
when he walked up and he found
his friends ousted from power and
himself traded to Boston. That
was when Clark Griffith stepped
in and obtained for himself the
best shortstop in the league.
Peckinpaugh was seriously in
jured during the 1924 world series.
He played in the sixth game with
his Lex artistically bandaged by
Mike Martin, king Of trainers. He
lasted until two were out in the
ninth, when he tore loose his re.
fractory muscle in his left leg
and from then on had to watch
the game from the stand.
"What you need most is rest. -
said the club physician to Roger
Peckinpaugh.
Peck is getting that rest be-

the 1925 campaign.
