New York Fans Believe Ring Has Passed Crest of Pitching Ability. By WIS J. WALSH INS Sports Kditor JEW YORK, Dee. 31.

Local opinion was rather frtely ex-nressed today to the effect that John McGraw had muffed one right in full view of the populace when he traded Jack Bent ley and Wuyland Dean to the Phillies for Jimmie King, veteran right hand pitcher. Ring, according to advices from Philadelphia, where he is wtll and favorably known, has worn out his arm pitching for losing ball clubs since 1919, and is saif? to be far from the man our Mr. McGraw evidently believes him to be. Tha boys here seem to think that John was somewhat outsmarted in the trade, giving up one of his two left hand pitchers in addition to a youth who was beginning to pay dividends on all the great things expected of him. The latter is Dean, who came up from Louisville two years ago, Hopped and tii- toward tht latter part of last season, began to win with some consistency.

He has a fine slow ball anil is supposed to have more deliveries than any pitcher in the major leagues. Dan is young and coming. Both Bentley and Ring are old and going, particularly Ring, if the low-down from Philadelphia is to be credited. Baseball men there ny they observed unmistakable signs during 1925 that Ring had passed the inevitable crest of the bill and was on his way down the other side. His arm bothered him many times they say he was very wild, issuing all of 11 passes.

He just about surcc'ded in keeping pace with the club by winning fourteen games and losing sixteen. At that rather grudging admission is made that probably the young man didn't over exert himself with a winning ball club, may stake hinuelf to on- or more good years by way of a final flourish. Bentley, who will play first base, still is comparatively young man in the matter of competitive years, never having be-n overworked in all the time he has played profes- fei t3 iCood Today Phone 175 for FOR ILL FIGHT 'Viva El Gallo" Is Greeting of City's Latin Section to Rafael Gomez, Famous Toreador.

Almost a nation-wide appeal has been mide to Tampa municipal officials, since the announcement was made of the coming bull fight, to call off the afTuir.
