PITCHERS
MOAN OF
P|L0T5

Baseball men once again are
raising the time-worn plant:
"Give us pitchers and wen win
the pennant,"
Walter johnson is setting UP a
plaintive call from his winter re-
treat in Bethesda, Md. Bob Shaw
key Is squawking from the house
tops; Bucky Harris echoes IL from
the city of automobiles John Nc
Gfaw is moaning 10 low from his
winter camp in Havana; Burt
Shotten Is singing the same dirge
as concerns the PhillteS.
But only the echo answers.
Pitchers are not 20 be had
neither for gold nor precious
stones. The Griffith bankroll Is
Is impotent as o bag Of marbles:
the means Of Harris fall on dect
ears everywhere. For pitchers are
Ia scarce article--and the clubs
lucky enough to be well fortified
intend to remain that way. .
The reason? Well, you can
take il from John HeydIer
that the sandIotS aren't PRO
ducing pitchers as they used

dreams Of becoming Q second
Ruth" Mr.. Heydler explains. In
stead Of developing curve ball,
they try to develop batting eye.
Instead Of embryo MattNs and
Browns, today we have a lot OF
embroy Hornsbys and Wilson's.
"The major leagues have to de-
velop their own pitchers these
days-you can't buy them In the
market"
Discussing the same subject re-
Gently, Walter Johnson said:
s'The great trouble with pitch
ing these days Is that pitchers
are so os1rbed by the rules that it
takes an unusual fellow to get
by" johnson explained. TN the
old days a mediocre pitcher could
take advantage Of the dirty ball,
the splitter and all the trick stuff
and if he was smart he could de-
velop himself into quite q hurler.
Today he's got to have plenty
and now. as in other years, there
are darn few fellows who are
phenomS,"

theory that eventually the
very lack Of pitchers would
result in q change Of rules
whereby pitchers again could
resort to trick deliveries, II
wouldn't be surprised to see
the splitter come back" John
SON declared.
"And I certainly expect soon
to see the umpires permitting
pitchers to use balls that are a
bit dirty CT a bit rough. Other.
wise the league is going to be so
hard up for pitching strength
that the box scores viii look like
cricket matches"
It may be that Is the answer.
It's a cinch magnateS are getting
a bit fed up with the rabbit ball
and the action last year in per-
mitting urnpireS to rub the gloss
from baSeballs before putting
them into play Is one step In
that direction.
Which, Of course, doesn't solve
today's problem. Four clubs In
the American League would have
q chance for the pennant II they
could uncover a couple Of high
grade pitchers each. The same
goes for the National League.
. But here's the rub-there aren't
any pitchers to be had for love or
money. s-'.

The second block of the How,
ard Campbell Sweepstakes gets
underway tonight at 1880 on the
Convention Hall alleys, which
has been the site Of the majority
Of all-time duckpin records. This
fact may be an added incentive
for some Of the maple wizards to
get "hot."
Outside of Irving BilIheim-
er's 653 Let, there are better
than Is punched close to-
gether, any one of whom may
pop into the leadership, If
Billheimer should falter.
The amazing number of entries
for the sweepstakes is still q
warm subject for speculation
among the pin fans. They can't
seem to agree as to the reason
for it. Perhaps, the main reason
is that the duckpin game as a
whole is becoming a more closely
knit cooperative organization as
a whole. Also more people are
beginning to realize the fun to be
derived from the paStime, so
many unknowns have popped up
to win the various tournaments
conducted during the year.. that
those who have any proweSS at
all realize that they have q fair
chanco to succeed.

Buddy Tew also failed to
chalk up . sufficiently large
score after his first lit ef-
fort to keep him on top, and
the same was true Of Abbie
Clark who, though keeping
up . steady brand Of pin
pounding, was weighed by
. two poor games.
The Orioles attack was fea.
tured by consistent shooting all
along the line, with Charles Ban
non, topping $50 pins for high,
tying Aiken'S set. Bannon had
two good games, 1876 and 12S,
to bring over the hurdles.
Henry Hupfer'S 1873 game gave
him the second best count in the
oponentS' lineup. $50, while
Johnny Roth and Buck Earle shot
consistent duckpins for a twin
total Of 551. Wilson, a lastmin-
ute substitute, had only 5O3.
Hymie Schecter had a IS flat
game to his credit. FitZgerald's s
1877 was made with only six
marks, four spares and a double
header strike. Hupfer also had
o double-header in his 1873 game.
