Newsom is coming down today to
demand his fifteen grand per an
mum, and VOWS that he won't take
penny less than that sum. The
betting is something under eyens
that he will wilt under the pressure
applied by the club owner. Pitching
baseball is far easier than driving

pitcher on the club, or should be
the best pitcher on the club this
year, and is worth far more than
he has been offered up to date.
Lewis Threw Well
With a week of Florida's kindly
sun limbering his arm, Young
Buddy Lewis is beginning to throw
the ball with something like power.
The young Lookout looked vastly
better yesterday than at any pre-
vious time SO far. Now let it be
said here and now that Lewis
never is going to tear a first base
mans glove off his hands with
his terrific pep across the diamond.
He never will be Bob Meusel nor
yet a Roberto EStalella. There are
dozen other third Sackers who
could teach Buddy how to toss.
His technique is strange, to say
the least. He has a half flip, half
girllike way Of side-arming the
ball. It rises and drops into the
first baseman'S glove, but yeSter.
day 1t dropped in with plenty Of
power and weight.
Travis Learns Fast
Further encouraging reports
are in order concerning Cecil Ira
Wis as his work at shortstop. After
a slight slump in his second drill
at the new position, the drawlin'
Georgia boy raced right back into
high gear yesterday and was on
his toes at all times. Travis is
learning when to charge q ball,
and that is important. He is cut
ting yards off the advantage Of a
runner by Storming in on the
grass. In this, Of course, his ex-
perience as a third baseman has
aided him no little.
Travis is developing q throwing
technique that Is more than
pleasing, getting rid Of the ball
swiftly in side arm throws from
certain spots, and from over hand
hurlS from deeper sectors Of his
position. Maybe he won't be sreat
in the true sense Of that word,
but he will be effective. That's
certain.
Bucky Harris is more impressed

The cry Of Cleveland'S rabble,

was hung upon q cross Of gold.
Bradley wanted to bring John,

him in the place Of Billy Evans as
general manager Of the Forest City
club. He had lukewarm support
from some Of the stockholders
and the move was to have been
made when Evans handed in his
