SMALL BALL SQUADS
ARE RULE THIS YEAR
BY the Associated Press.

=
CHICAGO. ILL.,, February 17-small
squads will be taken to the training
camps by most of the American
League clubs this Spring IL indicated
plans of the managers are carried
out.
Reports reaching President Ban
Johnson today said that II the Cleve-
land Club could arrange deals for the
disposal of its young players Iris
Speakers squad would number less
than 80 men, which probably will be
the average of all the American
League clubs although the Chicago
White Sox plan to- take 35 to 40.
Washington. which for several sea-
sons has carried a heavy roster In
the Spring. has whitfield down to
about 80. The st. Louis Browns re-
called, purchased and drafted not
more than a half dozen players and
three or four Of them have been dis
posed of in the deal that gave Man
ager Sisler new catcher. Leo Dixon.
Connie Mack, despite his heavy in
vestment In new talent, lists less
than 80 to go to camp.
In the National League there may
be something OF the same tendency
TO cut down squads early Last
Spring Branch Hickey of the St.
Louis Cardinals had no less than so
players in his Florida camp. Many
of them were just getting the benefit
OF Rfckey's instruction preliminary
TO being sent to affiliated minor
league clubs. but they were Cardinals,
at least for a while
This Spring, since the Cardinals
make the long trip to California, the
policy Will be different and Manager
hickey says he will carry not more
than 40 men to Stockton. where the
Cards start their Spring training.

I heard this trapper tell Of the catch
ing of two coyotes the other day. One
of them was a very large animal. and
the trapper had tried for some time to
catch him. He absolutely refused to
touch poisoned bait And he was ex-
ceedingly trap wise"
The trapper finally got him. He placed
a small pile of horseshoes near the car
cass of a dead horse The shoes were
in q sort of a circle around trap. The
trapper knew that the coyote, In step

would, as soon as he felt them under his

on the nearest available bit of snow
which was in the center of the horse
shoes, covering the trap.

in many respects johnson was going
as well last season as ever he did
in his life. That he will collapse
in the season to come hardly seems
probable In view of his performance
right up to the close Of last season.
And there Is little doubt that he
will appear with the Senator's the
coming season, despite reports print
ed here that he Is now among the
ranks of Senatorial holdouts.
No Top Heavy Star.
There was no top heavy star in
the American League pitching de-
partment last season, and Johnson
for. that reason really deserves the
greater credit because he was forced
to fight his way along in a race that
cid not possess a man who could win
four-fifths Of his games with any
certainty.
There were six pitchers who won
five games each from some one club
That Is something of a record In
itself. Thurston of the White Sox
won five from ST. Louis, Zachary of
Washington won five from Chicago,
Whitehill Of Detroit won five from
the Yankees: Pennock of the
Yankees won five from Chicago and
five from Philadelphia, Shawkey of
Shocker Of the Browns won five from
Chicago and lost five to the Yankees.
That, however, did not prevent the
Yankees from grabbing the chance
to add him to their pitching staff
New York figures that 1t has got the
best pitcher in the league for 1925
in ShockerI but there are some critics
in st. Louis who doubt this. At any
rate, the fanks appear to have made
a pretty good bargain.
Ihese nve or more victory pitchers
had a great deal to do with the ulti-
mate standing of the 1924 tatlender.
Chicago. which finished last. was
beaten in braces of Ave games by
three itchers-Pennock, Zachary and
Shocker. As two of the trio were
southpaws, that shows that the Sox
as constituted last season were not
an overly successful team against
left-handers- This is borne out by
other facts.
Due to BE Repeated.
Another fact which is demonstrated
In part by the winning of these
games is that the American League
is just as likely to run a close race
In 1925 as 1t did in 1924, because the
half dozen pitchers mentioned have
merit and there are not six other
pitchers who show any indication of
developing into "phenoms" between
now and the end of another season.
If the junior circuit has a pitcher
who can go faster than those who
did the bulk Of the work last sea-
son. he will have to emerge from
the kids" who are starting in this
year. There Is no prospect of a
freak run of luck falling to tho LOT
of any of the veterans.

1t was only 35O-yard hole, and
Hagen was on in 2. but Bill was
short on his second and failed to
get close to the cup on his chip shot
third. All he had needed was a par
to win the hole and the title, but
now he would have to get two puts
for a in order to square the match
and push 1t to extra holes.
This seemed easy enough. How
ever, his first putt left him three
feet from the hole. Then. what does
he do but miss on the next, finally
holing out while Hagen made his 4.
