APPLICANTS STORM
Big LOOP PORTALS
Connie Mack, Philadelphia Ath'
Ietic Manager, to Take
Dozen New Pitchers
WILL GET EQUAL CHANCES
Majority Of Hopefuls Are Pitch
ers and Outfielders From
Smaller Clubs

Chicago, Feb. 4.-H]-There will
be no depression this year for the
rookie hopefuls who seek bigger and
better pay days in the ranks OF the
American League.
Help wanted signs, dangling from
every club office in the league, have
attracted 100 applicants of all shapes,
sizes and records. All of them have
been welcomed with open arms.
Opportunity is everywhere Tor
those able to deliver. Even the I'M
successful ones are certain OF
thorough chances and subsequent en-
ployment with minor leagues.
Asks For Pitchers
Connie Mack Of the Philadelphia
Athletics will take a dozen or more
young pitchers to the white elephants
training camp. He admits he needs
better support for Bob Grove and
George Earnshaw.
He doesn't need any outfielders but
he is taking a trio Of rockies along
for observation anyway.
Pitchers are the crying need Of Joe
Mccarthy and his New York Yankees,
too. Eight experienced hurlers will
try out with the Yanks, including
four from the International League
and one each from the Pacific Coast
League and American Association.
Two young o~utfielders Of great prom
ise, Myril Hoag Of Sacramento and
Fred Walker Of Jersey City. also will
get a chance and are expected to
stick.
Detroit, seeking more punch at the
bat. has grabbed off several fence
busting outfielders, depending on its
1880 staff and optional players for
pitching largely.
Chicago and st. Louis needed in
fielders and went after them. The
Browns picked up three young SEN
sations from the Texas League,
Burns, Storti and Levey of Wichita
Falls. and two good minor league
catcher prospects in Young of Mil
waukee and Crouch Of Wichita Falls.
viii Have New Talent
The White Sox, experimenting with
good looking youngsters for a change
instead of writing out six figured
checks for established stars, have q
flock Of young talent that brings a
smile to the face Of the "old Roman
Charles A. Comiskey.
Cleveland needed first string pitch
ing aid and bought Fay Thomas of
Sacramento and Craghead of Oak
land. both with experience. The In
dams also picked up two third base
men, before of New Orleans and
Winegarner from Ell Dorado, one of
whom may replace Joe Sewell. Wash
ington had a great pitching staff last
Year but will try out a few young
sters and give three infielders. includ-
ing first baseman Joe Kuhel of Kan
a City. a chance. Boston, cellar
team last year, will take almost a
score of rockies to Pensacola. Three
of them-Catcher Muddy Ruel, Pitch
er Wiley Moore and Pitcher Johnny
Br1llheart-can hardly be classed as
rockies as they have been up before.
OF the 100 recruits, many have
been up before but most Of them
are new to the majors.

And the manipulator of set of golf clubs necessitating in the vicin- ity of 295 pokes for 72 holes Several mileS) of the Ague Caliente open, these same officials offer only $10,- 900.
 Apparently it hasn't dawned on the professional golfer that his T., miles or so of plodding through rough for four days repays him only one-tenth of what the equine star draw ws down for a two-minute gallop around a smoothly y-groomed oval. And when that realization comes. what of 1t? Ten thousand golf prizes come but once annually during these defated years.
 Two Weeks Moro
 The current Agua Caliente affair. with $25,00O in cash prizes, is only few days in the offiing. The list of starters includes more than 50 out standing professionals, some of which are Gene Sarazen, Leo Diegel. Horton Smith, Al Espinosa, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Tony Man. ero. Craig Wood and Bill Mehlhorn. If he gets back from the Orient in time. In addition. meager handful of amateur and business, man" gol- 'SAS WAi peAA ouS lo lilC pOSL Llle second annual "hot water" open event, Jan 12-17.
 A dozen contestants a year ago had their eyes on the winners share of $1O,000 as they drove down the ever, and nudged his ball just 6S times on the last lap to win the prize. His score of 295 was two un- der Horton Smith and Al Espinosa. sharing second prize. But that was 1880; 1t will be tougher this time. Limitations of the new larger and, lighter ball and the winds of gale like velocity that sweep up, down anG across Agua Caliente terrain, are re- sponsible for the changes. Thret holes-4th, 10th and 11th-have been shortened a few yards with par remaining the same for each. To off. set this, No 1 has been heightened to three-shotter and to No 16, 40 yards have been added, raising par from Fl of a year ago to 72 for the 1881 tourney.
 Mountaineering Architect. Some of the pros are convinced that 295 on the new layout ought to draw a sizeable bonus in addition to the $1O,000 for first place. Many have predicted that 72-hole total of BIO will capture honors. which indi- cates just how they regard Agua Caliente's length, these cross-winds and the new ball.
 When Architect Billy Bell drew ur plans for the "hot water" layout he wasn't counting on fattering any player. Those who traversed it last winter voted it one of the hardest in the land. It was new and soft then and though high winds blew only one day of the four the win ming score was about 10 strokes higher than the winning total for tne average winter tournament. It may have been a suggestion C. Leo Diegel, Agua Caliente profession | al, who has been experimenting with the new ball on those wind-swepi stretches, that the course was short ened at some holes and heightened at others. At any rate, Diegel prob ably felt that the $1O,OO0 first pr!z4 might just as well stay to the homo professional.

What looked to the writer as the worst athletic unit that ever came out of Torrington to do battle with it's favorite rivals, Crosby High of this city took a 54 to 19 beating in a lop-sided Naugatuck Valley League game last night in the Wilby gym There was a little mystery attached to the event, which caused fans to wonder what sort of a trance Eddie Reilly's Bridgeport Central team had been in a week or so ago when this sa me Torrington team beat them by q point in Connecticut's newest city In the first two periods of play yes terday Torrington did not score a field goal. the Crosby defense hold ing them to two foul points while the Schofield Scamperers tallied 29 units in 16 minutes.
 Seconds Come In
 The last half of the game was worse than the first, the count standing 4 4to 8 at the conclusion of the third period. A rush of reserves gave Tracey Garey's team tenn porary breathing spell in which they raised their count to 19 while the locals jumped from A to 54 A fair ly large crowd saw a well-oiled Crosby machine go to work in the first minute of play and never stop until it had been replaced by re- servists who also made the Torring- tonians look like a bedraggled squad of cadets from Podunk.
