Baseball Schools

THAT comparatively new and
= rapidly growing institute Of ed
ucation, the baseball school, seems
to be finding few hackers other than
faculty members and student
bodies.
Indeed, there are those alert in
dividuals who look at the schools in
anything but q kindly light. They
realize that racket Is . horrid
word, but haven't found an ade-
quate substitute in describing dia.
mond colleges. Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, who has some
what mere than q passing interest
in the game, Is known to be cooking
. scrutinising eye over some Of the
varieus baseball schools blosseming
In the country.
For the most part, deans and pro-
fessors Of these schools are past and
present major league stars. Big
names in baseball. They furnish
bait for students. Entrance re-
quirements are very simple-almost
too simple. All the student needs
is enough money and the desire to
OC$OAiC q VIZ hCdSaC SLdE. ne
quirements for the instructor are
equally simple. He needs only a
nationwide reputation and the de-
sire for bit of out-of-season spend
ing money.
II must be admitted that some
sponsors really expect to find a good
prospect among the run-of-the-mill
aspirants at their schools. But
there is real danger that the base
ball school, II permitted to operate
without close supervision, will be-
come nothing more than a racket.

Hot Stove Fuel

FUEL for baseball's '.hot stoves
was furnished In abundance re.
Gently by the National League
Green Book, which contains enough
information to keep arguments go
ing until the diamond season Is well
under way.
For instance, Editor Gill Brandt's
gleanings show that nine parks
were used by the senior circuit
clubs last year. and that one player
was successful in chalking up home
runs in all nine. He was John Costa
Rizzo. Pittsbufgh's rookie sensation
who set new Pirate record with
q homers.
Though Mel OFT Of the New York
Giants spread his 80 home runs
through all eight cities, he obtained
none In Shibe Park, which the Pr
rates called home the last half Of
the season. OFT, Incidentally, drew
l1S passes, his sixth season with
more than 100.
Contrary to earned run and per-
centage calculations which showed
Big Bill Lee of Chicago the seasons
foremost pitcher. the green book
shows Johnny Wander Nicer of Gin
cinnati was tops on the basis Of
opponents batting averages.
The system evolved by Tommy
Holmes, sports writer of the Brook
lyn Eagle, showed that the collec-
tive batting average Of all players
of Wander Nicer was .2l3, while
Lees opponents hit .254. BY this
rating Russ Bauers of Pittsburgh
and Clay Bryant of the Cubs were
second and third best hurlers.
Only player 70 get more than 200
hits was Frank Mccormick, Gin
cinnatPs rookie FIRST baseman. He
also led IN punching them, twice
clustering I've safeties In q single
game, and ON six ether occasions
punching four.

the leagues all time home run lead
ers on only six homers. He Is one
OF IL players now active in the Ma
tional league who have hit 100 or
more home runs.
His .S21 average placed Stanley
Hack Of the Cubs in company with
IL other present players who have
q lifetime average Of over 800.
