~ uOXI, Miss, March 20.-A
* bah player, young in years
and experience, once on the
way back to the minor
leagues, and overnight the most
talked-of youngster in major league
base ball-that is Infielder Joe Cro-
min of the Washington club.
Those who pay their way to see
exhibitions of the national pastime
have this Californian's probable fu-
ture on the ends of their tongues.
One Of the principal advisors of the
American League paid him a rare
compliment by saying that the sue
cess Of the Washington club in 1881
would be dependent upon whether
Cronin had good or bad season.
While that is perhaps more than
the Washington club would say, 1t is
interesting because it shows the i'm
preston Cronin has made upon the
owners of the American League. He
is one Of the most approachable and
most nkable boys who has entered
major league base ball since the war.
Up From Frisco SandIots.
1t was only little while ago that
Cronin was playing around with the
boys in San Francisco and Oakland,
where there are enough promising
youngsters to start a minor league Of
their own. Cronin attracted the at
tention Of Joe Devine, a Californian
who scouts for the Pittsburgh club,

sand lot ball players by the majors will

in the opinion Of z. s. Barnard, presi-
dent of the American League.
1.-THE new ball that goes into use this
season will, in my opinion, have little
affect on the players averages" Bar
nard said, as he arrived here to watch
the Boston Red Sox In Spring training.
I'm fact, we were not even going to
say anything about a change and per-
NIT the players and public to discover
the difference, If any, themselves. How
ever, the National League announced
the new ball at its meeting.
Only Thread Changed.
1.-THE size and weight are the same,
the only difference being that larger
thread is used and the seams are there
fore higher. This probably will permit
the curve ball pitchers to get better
grip on the sphere. but nobody expects
any difference in the style Of play.
"AS matter Of fact, change in bat
ting stances and styles of bats made the
going harder for pitchers. Twenty-Five
years ago bats were practically alike in
style. Then Babe Ruth began his long
clouting and the glorihcation Of slug
gers commenced"
Speaking of the prospects for the
coming American League season, Bar
nard said he had visited quite a few
clubs and followed the fortunes of
others.

concerned, no more brilliant work.
man has been on view at short
than Charles Colbert, the 25-year-
old star Of the st. Louis Cardinals.
Colbert has improved at q tremen-
dous clip. He batted over 800 last
year for the first time in his short big
league. career. He was a sensation in
the world series, hitting for 1853, and he
looks better than ever in the Cardinal
camp at Bradenton this Spring.
Colbert covers acres of ground on
either side and has rifie-shot arm,
powerful as well as accurate.
He not only has satisfied his man
ager, Gabby Street, that he's the best
shortstop in base ball now, but Gabby
believes the youngster will soon rank
with the best in any department of
play.
HOW ABOUT English?
After sizing up Colbert, however, we
can hear the echoes from Catalina
Island: What about Elwood English Of
the Cubs?
For the time being they can't be
compared on the spot by this observer,
but the records and the testimony are
strong enough to enable English to dis
pute Gelbert'S claim to top rank, con-
filming the debate for the moment to the
National League.
English outhit Colbert by substan-
tial margin last year, posting an aver
age Of 1886, the best Of his career. The
major league campaign, whereas Gel
bert is Just starting his third.
English also came along like house
af1re last year and no less an authority
and neutral observer than Col. Dan
Howley of the Reds thinks that FL
woods batting gives him the edge over
Colbert up to the present.
But Joe Hit .346.
So far as the American League is
concerned, the boys can argue all eve
ming about the respective merits of
English and Colbert, then look over the
ace Of the shortStoppers, Joseph Cronin,
who batted .346 and had as much to
do as any individual with the sensa-
tional rise Of the Washington Club last
season.
Cronin, also a. is rangier. heavier
and more of sIugger than either Eng
lish or Colbert. He played spectacle
larly afield and wa3 voted the Ameri-
can Leagues most valuable player In
1880.
All three of the youngsters. in a year,
have leaped away up toward the front
and become stars in a position that
seemed to be shy of its old class. All
three will be very much in the limelight
this year.
