ATLANTA, Ga =. Twenty-ope years ago Jim Bagby won 31 and lost l2 to help pitch Cleveland to an American League pennant and World Series championship.
 Next season there'll be another Jim Bagby burning 'em across nome plate and the, old sergeant thinks Jim Jr. has what it takes to help the Indians turn the trick again.
 Jim never would have done Bos- ton any good says the elder Bagby, beaming at the trade which sends his son to Cleveland. ''Thisll be Jim's chance"
 Can he do as well as the old ser geant? His dad won't predict, and Jim Jr. is doubtful.
 Its back luck to call your shots, :" says Bagby senior, now middle-aged and sparse-haired and recently re- tired from his dry-cleaning busi- ness.
 I'll say, though, ought to win at least ten," is the younger Bagby's guess.
 Easier in Dads Day?
 Young Jim thinks it was lot cas- fer to run up an imposing victory string in his Dads day than now.
 "Shucks," he says, when dad was pitching they didn't have but maybe five home-run hitters in the league. Today nearly every team has a half dozen Every man in the Red Sox infield hit 20 homers or better last season."
 Tn my day" explains the elder Bagby, i've used the dead ball, and most players choked up on their bats instead of swinging for long hits. They were trying for base hits, though, every time"
 That's just it" interjects young Jim. When you had three men on

base a hit might mean one, maybe two runs. Now if batter connects it's probably the ball game"

base hit might mean one, maybe two runs. Now if batter connects it's probably the ball game
 Give Young Jim pointers? His dad shakes his head.
 He doesn't pitch anything like me" he says, He's more like his uncle, Clarence Pop Boy) Smith, who played in the Southern League and think little while for Cleve- land. He's fastball pitcher with some curve. Mine was mostly curve ball pitching"
 The elder Bagby thinks young Jim needs more control and better curve-adds that he'd better start now, cause he'll never learn any younger Elbow Injury Handicap An elbow injury, suffered when he was about IA years old, may have some effect on the boys pitching, his dad says. Young Jim, himself, says the injury caused by an i'm mature effort to pitch sharp breaking probably affects his fast ball more than anything.
 If could straighten my arm completely" he explains T guess I could get more speed, but otherwise it doesn't bother me-
 Both think the trend in baseball is toward taking the pitcher out of the game"
 Why complains young Jim. they're even talking about letting another player bat for the pitcher" Yeah" adds his dad, they start ed taking away from the pitcher when they stopped the spit ball. And another thing back in my day batter had to watch closer to see the ball. They weren't forever toss ing out a new one every time the cover got scuffed little. That dark pellet was hard to sec"

Probably the most important style
item this winter is the compartments

Actually the twin hats are a bless

ladies who are always looking for

Is, OF course, out and out larceny.

them in telescopes or pork-pies. der
