ROCHESTER CLUB
DEVELOPS STARS
Especial TO The Democrat)

New York, July 10 - Some people
may doubt the value of Trial Camps
for young ball players, but such Is
not the case with the officials of
the Rochester Baseball Club. Oliver
French, president of the Rochester
Baseball Club has probably had
more experience in organizing and
conducting these Trial camps than
any other executive in the Cardinal
Organization. And, the records
speak for themselves so far as the
success of the camp is concerned.
Many players now in the major
leagues are there directly as the re-
suit of their ability as shown in
some Trial Camp conducted by the
Cardinal Organization. Such bud
ding young stars as Enos Slaughter,
Marty Marion, Morton Cooper, now
with the st. Louis Cardinals, all
owe their start in baseball to some
Trial Camp. Not only these, but
many others now with Major
League clubs received their first
trial in the Minor Leagues, the
number of such players would run
we'll into the four figures.
Young Stars
Take the case Of the Rochester
Club, sponsors of the Waterbury
Camp. There is young Charley
Brumbeloe, up from a Glass D club
only last year. Brumbeloe has al
ready won twelve games for the
Red Wings and the same is true Of
Pitcher Henry Gonricki. Both Of
thees boys are expected to win well
over 20 games each and are con-
sidered sure shots for the major
leagues next year. Shortstop Frank
Crespi Is another Rochester player
who Is expected to win a major
league Job next year, and any one
who has seen him play cannot deny
that he certainly deserves the
chance. And the same Is true Of
Outfielder Augie Bergamo. These
four boys all received their chances
because of their participation in
Summer Trial Camp.
So, if the youngsters IN the vicin-
ity of Waterbury believe they have
the ability to eventually become
majorleague ball players, this Is the
opportunity they have been waiting
for.

The saddest part Of Jack Dempsey
betting decrepit wrestlers around is
that it may encourage the old
champion to side through the hemp
with someone who can fight.
Indeed, Dempsey, spurred by the
success of his Atlanta venture, al
ready is talking of tackling young
Joe Louis following half dozen
more preliminary tests.
Again Dempsey makes it clear he
does not fully appreciate a reputa-
ton which has grown until, still liv-
ing, he has become legendary.
OF course, Dempsey can't eat a
reputation, but he is far from broke,
and it strikes his friends he could
employ his many talents more prof
itably and much more safely in
other lines.
Dempsey is only kidding himself

TIGERS RIGHT,
FIND CORSICA
MOUND ASSET
Texas Lacquer UphOlds
Clubs Confidence
After Setbacks
BY PAUL sCHEFFELS
United Press Staff Correspondent

(United Press Statf COrfeSpOnuent)
New York (UP)-As regards john
ny Gorsica's pitching status, the De-
troit Tigers were confident that he
would some day be an asset to their
mound corps but none Of the teams
tacticians dared predict that he'd be
a 1910 starter who'd help keep the
club within striking distance of first
place in the American League-but
that's just what he's doing.
Corsica, who halls from Bayonne,
N. j., Joined the Beckley club of the
Middle Atlantic League in 1887 as a
first baseman. Some sound advice
from the Tiger front office and a
poor batting average changed the
young Polish player into a pitcher,
ana by 1899 he was with Beaumont
of the Texas League. There he won
only nine while losing II.
Survived Squad Cuts
That's what the young righthand-
er brought into the Detroit training
camp this year-a weak record but
strong right arm. He was just
"along for the ride" and some added
experience but showed enough stuff
In relief roles to survive two cuts in
the Tiger squad.
He essayed his first starting role
on June 3 and wasn't exactly ball
of fire, the Senators betting him for
90 defeat, but on June 8 he got
into stride with fancy AZ decision
over the Boston Red Sox-hardest-
hitting team in the American
League. He fired an 80, four-hit
shutout against Washington on his
next assignment and established
himself as one of the Tigers 'front.'
line pitchers.
He was stopped in his next two
appearances by. the Yankees and
Red Sox but has since come through
with two straight wins, 10-1 and 30
over the st. Louis Browns.
The 1910 roster of the Tigers List
ed him as: MAY not be quite ready

OF Gorsia's chief assets this year has
been his control.

In the first seven games he went
to the mound as a starting pitcher
the 23-year-old Corsica has issued
only 20 bases on balls, only once 60
ing as high as four walks in one
game. In four of the games he gave
up only three free tickets to first
and In the other two, only a pair.
His strikeout record contrasts IA
vorably, too. Enjoying a sinker ball
and a cross-fire delivery with an
amazing amount of poise, Corsica
has famed % batters in seven starts
for an average of almost four q
game. In one contest he famed six
opponents and in two, five batters
went down swinging.
Corsica. along with a new and
effective Bucky Newsom, a revived
Schoolboy Rowe. the consistent
Tommy Bridges and another rookie
highlander, Hal Newhouser, has
given the Tigers an effective mound
corps for the first time in several
seasons. 1t may bring them an
American League pennant for the
first time since 1885.
