How Cobb Would Solve 1t
Spikes Would End Grid Tactics
Used to Break Up Double Plays

deliberately tried only twice to
spike other players.
Called Him Names, Too.
Once he gave it to Catcher
Harry Bemis of Cleveland because
he didn't like the way Bemis
blocked the plate and called him
names while so doing. The other
time he went for Pitcher Hub
Leonard of Boston because
Leonard "threw lot of bean
balls" Ty dragged a bunt down
the f1rst-base line, and when
Leonard had to cover first, Cobb
slid through the coach's box at
him-and missed.
Cobb in his first article last
week said that no players except
Phil Rizzuto and Stan Musial
could be considered equal to the
old stars, and this week he takes
the managers over the hurdles.
Connie Mack is his all-time
manager, with Casey Stengel and
John McGraw next. "Mr. Mack
never had any money and had to
develop his own players; he was
the greatest manager ever known
is the way Cobb puts it.
Likes Stengel's Strategy.
Cobb criticizes Stengel for his
two-platoon system (''That's one
form of modern percentage play
which is strictly hokum") but
praises his strategy in handling
of players.
About managerial strategy, Cobb
claims that lone striking thing
is that the old-fashion game
whenever used today, produces
such excellent results. Look what
Manager Paul Richards did with
the White Sox last year. He took
a second-division ball club and by
letting it run wild-stealing bases
and hitting and running-kept it
in first place good part of the

Special Dispoteh TO The StaT
LOUISVILLE, Mar. 2l.-King
Ranch, twice winner of the Ken
lucky Derby. has three colts ELI
gible for the 100000 race at
Churchill Downs this spring. They
are Risque Rouge, Armagh and
High Scud, which are doing their
winter training at Columbia, S. c.
Ordinarily, the majority of
horses named for the Derby each
spring by King Ranch are bred
by the Texas racing stable, and
both its winners, Assault and
battle-ground, were homebreds.
This year, however. two of the
three eligibles were purchased
from other breeders.
Risque Rouge was bought as a
yearling from Mrs. John D. Hertz's
Stoner Greek Stud for $4,000, and
High Scud was purchased from w.
Arnold Hanger as a 2-year-old
last year after the colt had raced
several times. The only homebred
that King Ranch has in the race
is Armagh, a son of Bold Venture,
q Kentucky Derby winner himself
and sire of Assault and Middle
ground.
OF the three, RisQue Rouge had
the best racing record last year.

successful beginning as a basket

ming streak against the freshmen

delphia's top scholastic teams. The
game will be played as a prelimi-
nary to the Syracuse-Philadelphia
National Basketball Association
playoff game.
Father McSorley was all set to
take fling at coaching himself,
when Obrentz walked in that aft
ernoon last fall.
Inquired About Team.
"He came in to sell me sporting
goods" Father McSorley recalls.
"And, in the course of the con-
versation, he asked If we had a
freshman team and who was
coaching. The varsity team was
already practicing, but I didn't
have a freshman coach. Glen
Conlon and John Mulholland
coached last year, but Conlon had
afternoon classes at Catholic U.
this season and Mulholland was
called into the service. really
didn't have time to do it, myself.
"Now. I had never seen Obrentz
until that afternoon. I didn't know
him, But when he offered to coach
the freshmen for nothing, !
thought about the state of our
finances and decided to hire him.
He seemed to know his business.
And it's been proved he does know
it. He's done good job"
1t hasn't been an easy job.
Obrentz, who is married and the
father Of 10-month-old girl, has
had to commute from his home
and place of business in Baltimore
to Gonzaga all during the season.
But Obrentz. who played with Bal
timore University until he was
graduated two years ago, wanted
to coach. So, although his busi-
ness has slipped a little as a re-
suit. he's quite satisfied.
Obrentz is a firm advocate Of the
possession style of play which car
ried unseeded Baltimore U. to the
Mason-Dixon Conference cham
pionship this season.
Not Just Holding Ball.
Possession basketball may be
boresome to watch" Obrentz says,
but it has proved it's worth. Of
course, I don't believe in just hold
ing the ball. I believe in working
it in"
His Gonzaga team, which took
the Metropolitan Catholic League
freshmen title and the Metropoli-
tan area mythical championship,
valves all fouls, a method installed
by Obrentz and later picked up by
his alma mater. In fact, Balti-
more utilized this technique in up
setting American U. and winning
the MaSon-Dixon title.

are setting their sights on a first

years.
The fortnight skipper isn't pre-
dieting first division finish. mind
you. But he says the Reds can
wind up there 'sif things work
out as we think they will"
Naturally. ] don't know where
we'll finish," Sewell said today.
But I do know we have a better
ball club than last year. And
I am certain well win more than
the So games we won last year.
Where we wind up depends a lot
on how much the other clubs
have been strengthened this year. "
Pitching Their Forte.
In 1851. the Reds finished sixth
only because they had better
pitching than Pittsburgh and
Chicago. Their hitting was the
weakest in the league. They were
last in team batting with .248,
and also in runs. hits, total bases,
home runs and runs batted in.
Thanks to some fine trades by
Gabe Paul. the clubs energetic
new general manager. the Reds
appear to have strengthened their
attack, adding such established
hitters as Andy Seminick and
Dick Sisler. as well as Bob Bor-
kowski and Eddie Pellagrini.
Borkowski. who came from the
Cubs, has looked the best Of all
the Reds in spring training and
will open the season in
center.
There is no doubt in my mind
we will have more hitting" said
Sewell. Certainly we have i'm
proved our catching 100 per cent
with the addition of Seminick.
Our infield is the same but it
should be better defenSively. if
only because we have switched
Grady Hatton to second and Bobby
Adams to third. Our pitching,
I believe. will be about on par
with last year when we had the
second best earned run average
in the league. Only the Giants
had better.
One Good 0utfielder.
"A year ago at this time" I"
Sewell pointed out, 1--WE had only
one outflelder we could count on,
Johnny Wyrostek. Joe Adcock
had only a half season of big
league ball behind him and we
were trying to work in such young
sters as Lloyd Merriman' and Bob
Usher. Right now we have the
pick of six solid men,"
Wyrostek (.31D. the only 800
hitting regular last year. is a cinch
to open in right field. Borkowski
appears to have the edge over
Wally Post, the fine defensive
rookie, in center. Post, a 1903 hit
ter at Buffalo. has been handi.
