MuRnERERss ROW.

MURDERER'S ROW.
Murderer's row was a rather appro-
pirate name given to four or five
sluggers on the New York Americans
a few years back.
American league pitchers certainly
regarded them in that light as one
after another Of these much-feared
sluggers faced them,
The passing Of Wally Pipp and the
slump experienced by Ruth and Ward
caused the title to be abandoned last
season. The old punch was missing.
Looks as if it would be revived
again this year from the way the
Yankees are hitting the ball.
Ruth is doing a comeback, while
Lazzeri and Koenig have been added
to the combination. These Ntht'ee,
plus Lou Gehrig and Bob Meusel,-
provide something for a pitcher to
worry about.
RUDE RECEPTION.
Nine runs and nine hits in one in
ming is an experience entirely new
to the great Dazzy Vance, star pitch
er of the National league.
The speed ball king was treated to
such happening in one of the spring
games between the Yankees and the
Dodgers.
Seven of the hits were singles, two
were doubles and one error was
mixed in for total Of nine runs.
Never in all his career has Vance
been so rudely handled in single
session and it is doubtful if it ever
happens again.
NO-HIT GAME.
Most of the star pitchers of the ma
jors have at some time during their
career turned in a. no-hit game. Gro
yer Alexander is one Of the few ex-
ceptions.
fWalteN Johnson! has one to his cred
it and on another occasion held the
st. Louis Browns hitless for seven in
,nings, only to have rain end the game
and spoil his chance of adding another
hitless affair to his record.
On one occasion Alexander had two
strikes on the batter and two out in
the ninth, only to have him scratch a
hit, q pop fly back of second to spoil
| the big chance.
Now that the ball has been toned
down a bit, Alex has hopes.
MOST VALUABLE.
Received query the other day as
to whom 1 regarded as the best south
paw in the American league.
While there are several left-hand-
! ers in the American league who have
more stuff than Herbie PennGck, to
| my way of thinking he's the most
| valuable.
| Pennock has a good assortment Of
stuff, particularly good eurve.fine
! control and world of courage.
Tn addition, he has perfect poise,
which means nothing bothers him; no
situation is too difficult for him to
tackle and, when hardest pressed, he
/ seemingly does his. best work.
Yes sir! Herb Pennock could pitch
on my big league ball club if
| owned one.
PROMISING ROOKIE.
Of the young pitchers saw in the
| south, none impressed me more than
Elmer s"Dutch" Levsen of the Cleve-
land club.
Levsen is a right-hander who, aside
from having good speed, boasts a
mighty fine curve ball.
Last season he was with George
| Stallings at Rochester in the Interna-
tional league. Stallings has a habit
! of developing good pitchers. Sc says
| Levsen is one of the best that ever
1 worked under him.
If Levsen is able to win for CIeve-
land the Indians hopes of finishing
| better than sixth, last years position,
will have been given quite boost.
