|Duroeher Tags 'Banta
|As Possible No. |
Dodger Pitcher
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

vERO BEACH, Fla, April 2.-Leo
Durocher took a pencil and marked
a large x opposite a name on the
glossy roster Of his Brooklyn
Dodgers.
There" he said, sis a fellow who
could become the bell cow Of our
|statf. Don't limit him to No. s or
even No. 2. He might even become
our best pitcher"
The fellow whose name he marked
was Jack Banta, a tall, thin right
handler from Hutchinson, Kans.
Last year Banta won IS and lost
for Montreal. Now he Is believed
ripe for major league picking.
Spring training records mean little,
especially when big league club has
been knocking over its own minor
league sparring mates with mono
tonour regularity. Even so, you have
to give Bantas performance chart
q double take.
Last time out against the Mon
treal club he pitched seven no-hit-
no-run innings. Fl walked only three
men. Control Is an important fac
tor because lack Of 1t has kept him
in the minors longer than he should
have been.
Banta was signed by Scout Bert
Wells for the Dodgers out of the
American Legion banks in Kansas
In 1914 his first year, he pitched at
Newport News, Va, Olean, N. Y.
and Montreal For the next three
years 1t was Montreal with part o1
a season at st. Paul in 1916.
Last year he threw seven shutout,
in the International, hurting ont
stretch of 20 consecutive scoreless
innings during which he allowed
only eight hits.
Take a tip from Durocher ant
keep an eye on Banta. He may wine
up in Montreal but the odds boarc
indicates he's about even money X
be a Brooklyn starter.
Durocher, Of course, usually has 9
sleeper" in the spring. Sometimes
they come through. Sometimes the,
miss. He Is real high on this DO,
whose sidearm slants remind an oh.
server of Ewell Blackwell.
/ HE is real fast" said Durocher
l"Ee has a good curve and a fail
change Of pace. II he can get tht
ball over the plate. he can't miss
That fast one Of his really has {

TAMPA, Fla, April 2.-When

Wish Egan is chief scout for
the Detroit Tigers, a merry rover
along trails chartered and uI1-

frank individual. Just because
he discovered a star ball player,
for instance, doesn't mean that
a player is an all-time drawing
card.
The question of drawing cards

If the absence of Hank Green

meant . drop in gate receipts.
Hank was a fine ball player"

him, but he never drew any
