BUSH IS LABELED
SWAT DEVELOPER
Reynolds Is Fine Sample of
His Teaching and Other
Chisox Get Busy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
- REENVILLE, S. c., April g.
Manager DOME Bush Of the
White Sox has won profound
respect as a developer of hitters.
The little Irishman's latest triumph
is Carl Reynolds. During the first
part of last season, Reynolds persisted
in swinging freely and in batting at
curved balls along the outside corner.
Bush insisted that he poke at the ball,
using the wrist for power. Reynolds
did and his batting average scared from
around 800 to .359 by the end Of the
season.
So far this season Reynolds Is hitting
better than ever and the rest OF the
hitters on the club are trying out the
Bushian advice, notably Bill Cissen.
PHILADELPHIA, April 8 (P).-Lefty

for another shot at the champions, in
view of his success against them last
week. The series stands 2 to l in favor
of the Phils.
The AS have been without the services
Of Earnshaw and Simmons, both OF
whom are still in Hot Springs. Mack
has told them to report by Friday, as
he is anxious to learn Earnshaw's con-
iition at first hand. He has been told
that the big right handler is in great
shape, but there have been rumors that
Earnshaw had not fully recovered from
a recent illness.
ASHEvILLE. N. c., April (P1.-The
Bambino has returned after six years

1t was just six years ago that the
Babe, scheduled to display his home
run technique at the local park, col
lapsed in big way at the railroad sta
ton and was rushed to the hospital
with q stomach ache that was felt
around the base ball world.
As If to make up for the disappoint-
ment he caused on that occasion, Ruth
belted a double and single yesterday
to help lick the Asheville Tourists,
5 to 2.
NEW ORLEANS, April P).-The

OMAHA, April 8 R.-'Doc"
~ Smith, manager of the Omaha
club of the Western League,
didn't know whether he was the
victim of a managerial dream or not
today.
Every manager dreams that some
day, somewhere, that great base
ball player, preferably a pitcher, will
drop in and stay.
So yesterday, a stranger Strolled
into the Omaha camp, announced
himself as a pitcher, and was given
q chance pitching for the yannigans.
AL he did was to hold the regulars
to one hit for three innings. Manager
Smith rubbed his eyes, enthusiast
tically rushed out to the mound and
told the stranger, who gave his name
only as "Mr. Earl of Iowa." to take
rest and report tomorrow.
After the game. a search was in
stituted for Mr.. Earl of Iowa." who
perhaps was in Iowa. Anyway, he
wasn't around the training camp or
training headquarters and Manager
Smith wonders 4 he was dreaming.

STARS OF PAST|ME
| IN RICE SELECTION
Critics Mythical Team Is
AH-Time Affair-Likes
Lenglen in Tennis.
BY GRANTLAND RICE.

CPRING revives old arguments
in sport, especially those
~ connected with base ball.
One of these recently opened
concerns the most graceful club
that could be picked from the all
time allotment up to date.
This would be my choice:
Catcher-Johnny Killing, Cubs.
Pitcher-Walter johnson, Washing
ton.
First base-HaI Chase. Yankees.
Second base-Larry Lajoie, Cleve-
shortstop-Dave Bancroft, Phillies
and Giants.
Third base-Jimmy Collins, Boston.
Left f1eld-George Burns, Giants.
Center field-Tris Speaker, Boston
and Cleveland.
Right feld-Frank Schultz, Cubs.
This lis doesn't name any entry
from the Athletics, with all their great
teams. But they have more than one
or two who are close, including Mickey
Cochrane, catcher; Chief Bender,
pitcher; McInnis at first and Collins
at second, with Jack Barry at short
worth some mention. There isn't much
to choose at third between Jimmy Col
Inns and Bill Bradley of Cleveland. And
Heinie Zimmerman wasn't far from
this pair. Heinie has no superior
around the plate when 1t came to a
matter Of grace in swinging a bat.
THE most graceful of all the star
i tennis players happens to be \
woman-SuZanne Lenglen. Among
the golfers 1t would be battle between
Joyce Wethered and Bobby Jones. In
the ring Jim Corbett has had no SUI
perior in this department.
Larry Lajoie looked easier at the
plate than any batter base ball has
ever known. He had less tension in his
200-pound system while waiting for the
pitcher to hook one over. His attitude
seemed to be careless and half lazy, as
he held the bat so loosely it looked as II
1t might slip from his hands.
THE quickest playing golfer has been
i George Duncan. The star Scot Is
so full of tension, so keyed UP,
that he could afford no delay in hitting
the ball. I recall once that Abe
Mitchell made Duncan take more than
his usual time on an approach putt and,
after q short delay, Duncan hit the
putt less than q foot.
The easiest looking runner that ever
stepped on a track was Nurni. He ap-
peared to glide more than fall back
upon the effort of running. He was
another who had little tension bottled
up In his lean Finnish system.

./~ GOD night! Is he still play
ing ball?" is a perennial
sandlot ejaculation. 1t
undoubtedly will be heard
again in little more than a couple Of
weeks when Navy Yard and Naval Hos
pital play in the opening Government
League game.
The person referred to is Johnny
Bleier, veteran Navy Yard outf1elder.
But Johnny doesn't mind. He's rather
proud Of his many years service, and
now, quietly, he is getting sharp for
his twentieth season on the local sand
lots.
Johnny and his teammate, Lefty
Kuhnert, are running a close race for
the honor of being Washington's prize
the more consistent.
DLEIER is 81 years old and has been
ID a star sandlotter for 10 years. He
still is one Of Washington's fleet
est felders, a dangerous base runner
and a crack hitter. His career has been
a colorful one.
Back in 1912 Johnny was playing
ball with Army Engineers. He went
with the Nationals in 1914. When the
war broke he rejoined the Army, play
ing overseas. Since then he has been
a crack player with Washington Bar
racks, the famous Rex team, the I'M
defeated District Elks and Navy Yard
among others.
Johnny has been the standout player
of the Navy Yard team in the Gov
eminent League since the Yarders have
been in the loop. He has w1thstood
onslaughts Of heralded youngsters and
always has kept his Job, being equally
versatile in the outf1eld, on first base
and behind the bat.
A stickler for training, he is like
Joe Sewell He rarely strikes out. In
1929 Johnny went through the entire
season without letting three go by
Last year he famed once, ST Simons
