Hear Pennant BeeS Buzz: Pes Haze Much Improved Team
BURNS STILL STAR
AFTER ID SEASONS

NEW YORK, May AFTER IA
years in the National League, George
Burns, once with the Giants, then
with the Reds and now with the Phil
lies, has launched one of the most
promising seasons of his career. And
necessity, he declares, is the reason.
Spectators who saw Burns in the
recent series here between the Giants
and Phillies were surprised to find
that the popular outfielder again had
all the speed, the ability to hit and
the rare Judgment in the outfield
which he seemed to lose after leaving
the Giants for the Cincinnati Reds.
Burns explains his comeback as due
to the failure of a base ball glove
manufacturing company, in which he
had invested the bulk of his $4,000
savings, to meet with success. Alb
solutely broke" was the way Burns
described his condition when he re-
turned to the game this season.
His decision to return this year
brought an offer from a minor league
club in the South. but he was con-
fident he could get back into his
stride in the majors, and that con-
fidence was shared by his old Giant
roommate. Arthur Fletcher, now man
ager of the Phillies, who gave Burns
the opportunity he sought.

Down In Florida the Boston folks
told Lucas in March that he might
be a good pitcher in time, but they
thought he would be a better second
job of being Davy Bancroft's right
field flank. Lucas grinned and sailed
in to become an infielder.
He bought a new glove and be-
stirred himself around second base
TO such fine result that in the first
exhibition game against the Yanks
he made a base hit, had four put
outs, three assists and was generally
helpful. He liked what he did, but
thought he should have done more,
and the word painters who looked
him over sobbed in gulps over his
auburn thatch and mooed about his
bravery in taking up such a job.
Some thought pitcher never before
had graduated to an infield position.
The forgot John Ward and about 20
others.
A more determined little bunch of
humanity never tried to get a Job
on the infield of a big league club.
Lucas was at it all the time. On
days when his club did not play and
there were exhibition contests in ST.
Petersburg he was hanging around
the game watching the stars of sec
ond base and asking questions with
out hesitancy from those whom he
thought could help him.
Occasionally he forgot that he had
to be near second base to make pivot
plays. He was so accustomed to
running over to first base from the
pitchers plate that he overlooked
being on second for the double play,
which so often decides the fate of
the game. However. everybody
thought he would work out of that.
He played the first two games for
the Bostons on the Polo Grounds

help any team, but it will particu-
larly help the Phils, who have to
play the ball off the fences a lot be-
cause of the irregular shape Of their
ball park
The infield is better, too. with
Fonseca in 1t, than il was before.
Fonesca, the only Portuguese in the
big show, is a good player. lie can
hit, which is rather unusual with
men of Latin blood. They have never
learned to swing a bat properly in
most cases.
If Fonesca can prop the Phillies'
infield batting average about four or
five points he will have earned all
they pay him. Cincinnati let Fonesca
go because he was too slow and be-
cause Jack Hendricks thought he had
gone about as far as he could. Then,
too, Hendricks wished to retain Dres-
sen of st. Paul.
Dean May Go Back.
The Sitting out of pitchers, which
viii come soon in the big leagues,
may send Dean of the New York
Giants back to the minors for a hard
years work.
Dean has not been showing any
thing unusual this season, and after
the unsuccessful season he had in
1924, winning only games and losing
II, 1t is more than possible that Man
ager McGraH may decide he neeedse
another year in the class AA league
TO mt him for the big time.
Toledo is one club that would like
mighty well TO get him. Dean was
fine success in the American Asso-
citation at Louisville, and it was
pretty generally thought he would be
a good bet for the Giants. But the
starch and thoroughness that were
IN his delivery when he was one of
the stars of the Middle West vanished
when he struck the Atlantic seaboard.
Combs, who was sold by Louisville
TO the Yankees at the same time Dean
was sold to the Giants, was unfortu-
nate enough to break his leg last
season, and the whole Louisville deals
had a rather persimony flavor to New
York
Combs is back with the Yanks this
season, however, and is starting off
with the same dash and vigor he
displayed last season before his acci-
dent. He looks like a player who will
go on all right, though he doesn't al
ways swing at a curve ball like a
Ty Cobb or q Willie Keeler.
Has Failed to Produce.
Dean, in his starts for the Giants,
hasn't shown strength. Maybe he
needs more work than he has been
getting, and perhaps he is not quite
himself. But there is a general i'm
preston that he struck the mai jors a
year or so too early and that another
campaign in the minors may season
him.
Rush of Brooklyn is another pitcher
that the fans have picked as one to
be sent back to the minors. The hero
of the Eastern League is a stout
hearted work horse, but he was hit
rather freely in the exhibition games
and he hasn't started out very sue
cessfully since the season got under
way. Thormahlen, a left-hander once
in the majors, who has been trying
out with Brooklyn, appears to have
lost his effectiveness, and the Brook
lyn pitching staff soon will settle down
TO Vance, Petty, Grimes and a fourth
man who will come from the more
promising young pitchers. 1t is pitch
ing which has held Brooklyn in the
race, although most of the victories
came at the expense of the Phillies,
who don't relish 18-carat pitching.

Now he is in hard training for the
fight of his life and he is working as
never before. If he can stand Harry
Wills OFF and out point him-he will
never knock out the Brown Panther
fame and fortune such as have
never come TO him will be his. And
among other things he will be likely
to receive a silver water pitcher, suit
ably engraved, from Jack Dempsey
Can he do this? Tex Rickard said
today that he thought Weinert had a
good chance to win the decision. but
this opinion may be discounted on
the ground that Richard being a good
Snowman, will leave nothing unsaid TO
steam up interest in the fight.
Anyway. it is sure and certain
that unless Harry fiattens the good
looking Newark boxer he can bid
good-by to any further consideration
on the part of fans and promoters as
a rival for Dempsey.
On the other hand, If he wins con-
vincingly, Dempsey will be the victim
of pressure sufficiently strong to force
him into the ring-or out of 1t.
Already the Adonis reveals the fine
result of the care he has taken of
himself, and now that he is beginning
to put on pressure he is showing in
creased speed, skill and hitting power.
He is in great shape right now for a
fight.
The writer. personally, has not got
much of an idea that he will do much
when he faces Wills, but if he does
not, 1t will not be because he has not
done everything in his power to fit
himself for the contest which means
so much to him.
