LAW Of AVERAGES

Bengal Manager.
BY ALAN GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

A UGUSTA, Ga, April 6-Mickey
" Cochrane, fair saxophons
~ player, a good golfer, but a
n great catcher, isn't worried
this Spring about the law of averages.
I'm sorry to see that so great a
champion as Bob Jones could not CONS
through with the old-time stuff" said
Mickey after spending an idle day
here, as rain washed out both the ex-
hibition game involving his world
champion Detroit Tigers and the finals
of the Augusta national golf tourna-
ment.
Il know they say it's tough to coma
back and tougher to stay on top. but
you can't blame me for thinking the
Tigers will stay up there.
Maybe it will be harder going for
us this year, with at least four other
clubs in the American League consid-
erably stronger. but I'm not worried
over the outlook now. The third pen.

Have Indian Sign on Tribe.


WHO can tell?" answered Mike.
But you can't expect us to be
alarmed when you consider We have
beaten the Indians about 81 out of a.
games in the last two years, can you?"
Would the Tigers offer the CUSTOM
ers anything new this year?
We'll. there's Al Simmons out there
and if he hits $50, it won't hurt US,
will it?" countered Cochrane. And
we have a great young third base
prospect in Don Ross, up from Beau
mont. He may not displace Marvin
Owen this year, but he can't miss in
another year. He's big and strong.
He can throw and he can hit"
If Cochrane has any worries. they
concern the tendency of some of his
players, especially pitchers like SCHOOL,
boy Rowe and Eden Auker. to start
slowly in the Spring. The Tigers have
been slow of the marks in each Of
their last two victorious races.

THUS. for the first two home exhi-
bition games against Brooklyn,
De Shong and Buck NeWsom will start
on the slab for their final appearance
before the American League curtain
rises week from tomorrow. On Fri
day, when the Phillies invade Griffith
Stadium, Earl Whitehill will be sent to
the slab, while Saturday, when the
Washingtons entertain Albany. Eddie
Linke will be used. If this schedule is
followed all the way, probably it will
mean that Henry Coppola or Jack
Russell will work next Sunday in Bal
timore. Pete Appleton, Bokina, Chase
and Monte Weaver, of the reserve line,
will finish up this weeks games.
If the pitching situation fails to
worry Bucky, there is no reason, then,
for worrying anywhere along the line.
Certainly there has been no indication
this Spring that Washingtons bats
men are lacking in practice. If the
current Nationals don't come pretty
close to measuring up to the 1885
club, which finished second only to
the champion Tigers in batting, Har-
ris and President Clark Griffith are
going to be very disappointed.
They base their Judgment chiefly on
the record of the II grapefruit league
tussels to date. II of which were
against major league clubs. When
team raps out some 200 hits in II
games-which is just what the Griffs
have done-there is little cause for
worry, exhibition play notwithstand-
ing. This is an average of about liz
hits per game, producing 130 runs. or
an average of nearly runs game.
Sock for Distance.
PRoBABLY the best item of all in
Washington's hitting this Spring
is the distance the boys are getting.
Down in Florida there are few ball
parks with short fences, but the total
base figures are impressive, beSpeak-
ing a team that should outslug the
1888 outfit, even if it fails to measure
up quite to the average Of last year.
OF the 1874 base hits, for instance, 80
were doubles, 19 were triples and II
were home runs. When it Is consid-
cred that these slugging figures are
for only II games, whereas the 1885
team hit only 80 home runs in
154-game American League schedule.
Mr.. Harris hardly can be blamed for
wearing his rose-colored specs.
When he refuses to worry over idle
ness, by the way, Bucky is thinking of
five straight days Of lobby sitting and
train riding instead of the three days
of loafng to date If inclement weather
prevents today's tilt. as was likely, it
will make four straight days of idle
ness and nothing is scheduled for to-
morrow.
But yesterday, when steady down.

Are Americans Losing

To the Editor Of The Times,

To the Editor Of The Times;
Many things happen which
cause US to ask this question:
Is public sentiment changing in
regard to the ideals we have
been taught to cherish2
There was q time when self
respecting people would suffer
rather than become recipients of
public charity. Every family
endeavored to provide ife's
necessities for its members. AL
ways the very last resort was q
handout from benevolent funds.
Not that it was an actual dis
grace, but people just did not
accept help as long as they could
manage their own affairs.
have pondered this subject.
and I have reached the con-
clusion that a vast majority of
people now look upon this doing

chapter in the life we live.
We hear much discussion about
the proper subjects to teach our
children. We want to inStill In
their young minds, q love Of
country and of home. We desire
to show them the way to a
larger life based on self.reliance
and consideration for their
fellow beings. Can we achieve
this result when so many actual
happenings of today are Just the
reverse?
These. and many things, set
one to wondering just what the
outcome will be. Will it event
ually mean that self-reSpect and
personal pride have been thrown

From a commercial viewpoint
nitrate of soda, sulphate of am
