Corbett, Infelder Frank Croucher
and Outfielder Roy Cullenbine.
The Chicago White Sox will de-
pend largely on Gerald Walker and
Mary. Owens, acquired in the trade
with Detroit to bolster them, but
Pitcher Bill Cox from st. Paul and
Outfelder Rupert Thompson from
San Diego look like the goods.
Cleveland has considerable new ma
terial, with Pitcher John Humphrey
of New Orleans, Outfelder Godfrey
Heath and Third Baseman Kenny
Keltner of Milwaukee out in front.
The acquisition of Catcher Rollie
Hemsley from the St. Louis Browns,
should help.
The New York Yankees rockies
come from Newark, which won the
International league pennant by "a
games last year. Pitchers Joe
Beggs, Atlee Donald and Second
Baseman Joe Gordon seem ready
to step into the lineup and make
good.
Connie Mack is believed to have
four recruits who will give the Ath-
letics considerable aid and comfort
this season. These include Pitchers
Bill Potter from Columbus, Ohio,
Steve Kalfass from Trenton, N. j.,
First Baseman Bill Hasson of Will
Transport and Second Baseman LODI
igiani of Oakland, Calf.
The st. Louis Browns appear to
have strengthened themselves not
only in their recent major league
trades, but by the acquisition Of
Pitcher Vito Tamuulis and First
Baseman George McQuinn Of New
ark, and Pitcher Muncrief Of San
Antonio.
Several of Bucky Harris Wash
ington recruits appear to lack ex-
perience, but Outfielder Frank Case
and Pitcher Mike Krakakaus of
Trenton and Pitchers Leonard of
Atlanta and Phebus of Chattanooga
are highly touted as being able to
deliver the goods in big-league
style.

YOU see and hear a lot of things

Won see and hear lot Of things
and you likewise learn few
odds and ends in thirty-six years of
major and minor league umpiring.
"Brick" Owens, famed American
league arbiter who retired a few
weeks ago, could tell you that. So
out of the fullness of his experience,
Brick is preparing to conduct a cor
respondence school for umpires.
Looking back over the years,
Owens has seen some great ball
clubs. and some great players. The
best team of all, he says, was the
White Sox of 1919 and 1920 that
turned into the ''Black Sox." Among
pitchers, Brick considers Walter
Johnson's delivery as deceptive as

Growth of Fish

Fish culturists who have studied
the growth of fish claim that a

old averages 81 inches; when it is
three years old go inches; five
years, 1878 inches; seven years, IA
inches; ten years, 1876 and if it lives
to sixteen years it measures 20.5
inches.

any he ever saw. He says Lefty
Grove was one of the three or four
fastest pitchers in history. Bob Eel
Ter, the schoolboy sensation of Cleve-
land, is rated by Brick as faster
pitcher than Lefty Grove and as fast
as johnson.
"Feller has something few pitch
ers ever had," says Brick. .'He
throws his curve ball almost as fast
as his speed ball.
During his officiating career,
Owens umpired more than $500
games and believes he encountered
every tough problem possible. Not
once in his career did he permit
a game to get out of hand. He
officiated $3.50 games in the Amer
lean league, 1,512 in the American
Association and several hundred
more in other minor leagues.

A Fiye-Gaited Horse

A five-gaited saddle horse must
show the walk, trot, canter and
rack; in addition, one of the follow
ing three fancy gaits-the running
walk, the slow pace or the fox trot.
The rack is very snowy gait, and
very easy on the rider, but it is
difficult for the horse since it is a
four-beat gait-that is, each foot
hits the ground Independent of the
other three.

Speaking of Sports
100 Get Trials
In Am erican
League Camps
By GEORGE A. BARCLAY


MORE than 100 rockies are
1V1 being taken to the various
American league spring train
ing camps this year. How
many of them will make good
and stay in fast company?
That is a question that eight
American league managers
would like to be able to answer
right now.
But looking over the records OF
these recruits and gathering dope
from the minor league managers
who tutored them in 1887, it is evil
dent that a very competent bunch
of new men are getting tryouts in
the junior circuit.
The Boston Red Sox seem likely
to retain at least eight of the players
brought in from Minneapolis and
Little Rock, Ark. Among these are
Catcher John Peacock, Pitcher
Charles Wagner and Outfielder Hen
ry Gaffke of Minneapolis; Pitchers
Emerson Dickman and Dick Mid
kiff, Infielder Jim Tabor and Out
fielders Deal and Nonnekamp of Lit
tie Rock.

that a pro makes enough money on

that professionals, as class, should

All which is quite a revelation.
