But the concensus Is that SingtOn'
has no chance. In a class Al or IA
league he may last for years, winning
batting titles and most valuable player
awards, but from his past showing for
Buddy Harris he will not do in the
majors.
Sington was graduated from
the University Of Alabama with
gold foot ball to show that he
had made" the most important
Au-America team in the country.
He was great tackle, Rose Bowl
hero.
He started in the low minors and
worked himself up. In every minor
league he batted well over 800. Last
year at Chattanooga he led the South
ern Association with 1884. But he ap-
parently cannot hit major league
pitching.
Hill Another Ex-Eridder.
C1NGTON'S susceptibility to hit into
double plays has soured Harris on
the fellow as a player. All along 1t
was known that he could not field or
throw very well, but Freddie was ex-
pected to drive across runners. In the
last 10 games he has played. however,
Freddie has hit into eight double
plays. and they have hurt. These
games do not include appearances as q
pinch hitter.
Only \ few days ago the sale
Of Outfielder Jesse Hill to the
Athletics on waivers was an
nounced by the Washington
club Here again former foot
ball player had failed.
Hill like Sington, had teammates
pulling for him. But Jesse did not
have much OF an arm and he had
a synthetic sort OF swing, tight and
jerky, instead Of a smooth, loose
stroke.
Hill is a former Southern California
"scatback." When his alma matters
teams were in their heydey 1t was
policy to use two backfields, one ver-
satile, heavy and rangy, and one

had worn the opposition.
Dixie Howell Notable Failure.
