Grodzicki Looks to Be Best
Pitcher in Cord Comp

Here is a sample of his worries:
Gornicki and Lyons won 10 games
apiece last year for Rochester.
That's a loud-speaking record, and
Gornicki and Lyons look good this
spring. But another man from Ro-
chester, who won three games last
year, name of Grodzicki, appears
even better. In fact, Grodzicki, a
hard thrower from the hard coal
country of Pennsylvania, looks to be
the best pitcher in camp.
Which is Prof. Southworth going
to believe: Last years record OF, the
evidence of his eyes? Well, the
professor spent part of 1910 in Roch-
ester himself. He may have hunch.
Ernie White pitched a no-hitter
last year, and KriSt was the best
pitcher in the Texas League. But
