~ ALVESTON, Tex, March 10 [P)
Luke Appling, the hustling
ShortStop who jumped from
college base ball at Oglethorpe
to the major leagues within a few
months, has made good with the White
Sox.
For years shortstops has been night

Appling not only has been fielding
well in Spring exhibitions, but has been

PENSACOLA, Fla, March 19 (P).-
It's hard to picture slight, bespectacled
Danny MacFayden, pride of the Red
SoX pitching staff, as one of those bruiS-

Nevertheless, Danny has shown Man
ager Shane Collins that he can roam
right field effectively and hit when q

him in the out1eld once in q while
this season when he is not on the

~ nOXI, Miss, March 19.-The
x difference between the Wash
ington club and the other clubs
of the American League train
ing today west of the meridian OF
Pensacola-and perhaps east of it
also-is the difference between a
creased axle and one that shrieks in
agony every time the wheel goes round.
This Washington club is the best
balanced team in the major leagues.
It works more smoothly over the dia-
mond than griddle grease over q red
hot iron.
It laughs when ball players Of other
clubs call playing the great national
game hard work. The Washington
players call it recreation and they are
looking forward to a season of sue
cesS-a season in which they will be
rewarded for honest effort by having
the President of the United States
throw out the first ball in the world
series at Washington next october.

didn't we? And this time there is not

cause he made so much of it against
tail-end clubs
The next pitcher to have the call is
Irving Hadley of Washington. This is
not surprising if the record of Hadley is
carefully analysed.
But Hadley is only one. Lloyd Brown,
who was so successful last year, is the
smoothest working left-hand pitcher in
the major leagues at this time. There

TORT MYERS, Fla, March 49,
~ Despite their great potential
batting strength, the Brooklyn
Robins are becoming a bit wor-
ried about hitting as their exhibition
tour progresses.
Babe Herman, formerly their out
standing clouter, has not shown much
so far and the Robins believe he has
been trying too hard to keep up with
the ex-Philadelphian, Frank ODoul.
The belief Is that Herman may have
bad season If he is not able to get
the batting lead right at the start.
LOS ANGELES, Calf, March 10 Up.
Leo C"Gabby'O Hartnett Of the Cubs,
who broke all records for catchers last
season by crashing out 81 home runs,
looks fit for another big year.
Hartnett has slammed out a homer
in each of the past FIVE games, either
as a pinch hitter or as a regular in
tie lineup. His throwing arm, which
went limp in 1929 and came back
strong last year, is in excellent shape.

Friberg has been with the Phillies
