management and the owners and the Pirates
sent him to Brooklyn for Jess Petty. good
Southpaw pitcher.
1t was only natural to assume that Vance
and Wright would have good season and that
meant much. Vance was a proved performer
and under the fatherly guidance of Uncle
Robby it thought certain that Wright
would be the Shortstop the club wanted and
needed
Wright, however. came up with lame shoul-
der that has defed all medical treatment and
he has become total loss.
Vance also fell far away from his form. He
won only out of his first 16 games and
was knocked out of the box four times in the
early season.
One of the most optimistic officials in the
training sector last Spring Harry Gardiner,
secretary and high mind of the Chicago White

I'VE didn't have to bother a lot about get

like Thomas and Lyons it has a swell start"
Here were two more who went wrong.

ONE of the best ball clubs in the American
League in 1928 was the st. Louis Browns.
Their success was due in no small part to the
fine pitching of Gray and Crowder.
Gray won 20 games and lost H. Crowder,
doing much better, won q games and lost
only 5.
Dan Howley, the manager of the Browns,
is not celebrated optimst. He is known
as "Howling Dan" because he is always antici-
pating trouble. But in the Spring training
camp of the Browns at West Palm Beach, Fla,
Howley was not pessimistic when speaking of
Gray and Crowder.
"Of course" he said, ''you never can tell
what will happen, but I think well have the
same good pitching this year. We've got a
good infeld and good outfield and good CATCH
ing. And Gray and Crowder will give us good
pitching"
What makes you SO sure?" he was asked.
Maybe they'll have an off year."
NO" he replied, they're great pitchers and
they'll come through"
But they didn't pitch in their 1928 FORM
The team fell down in the race and Howley
is to be succeeded as the manager next season,

him the gate.
His complaint is that the owners insisted
upon interfering with him in the field manage
ment of the club. He says that his pitching
would have been just as good this year a. It
was last year If he had been permitted to use
his own judgment in the matter of rotating
them.
But the records show that Gray and

Walter johnson, taking over the manage
ment of the Washington Senators last Spring,
thought he would get lot OF winning games
from Jones and Hadley And he also had Ad
Iiska, touted as the greatest prospect from the
minor leagues.
why are you SO confident about Jones and
Hadley?" he was asked. "Jones is rather old
fellow and Hadley may have been a flash last
year"
"It is true that Jones is no youngster," he
replied. Neither was 1 for several years.
Jones is one of those fellows who take care
of themselves. He is always in shape and he can
be counted on for the same number of games
every year. Hadley is young fellow with q
lot of stuff and he's bound to be better with
one more years experience"
Jones didn't come through however. Neither
did Hadley. And that may be the reason for
the disappointing showing made by Washing
ton this year.
Liska didn't live up to advance notices, but
that can be pardoned in very young boy
spending his first season in the major leagues.
Dick Porter, rookie outfielder for the Cleve-
land Indians, was one of the big disappoint-
ments of the season. The Cleveland owners
bought him from Baltimore where he had
starred for years. They paid something like
$4,000 for him and he didn't make the varsity
team.
He was used occasionally at second base and
in the outfield but he was beaten out of q
regular job by Eddie Morgan, young college
fellow, who was with the club last year. but it
was thought at the start of the season that
he would be released to some minor league
