BECK LIT AMEN CORNER Lajoie Is Hitting Over the .300 Mark and Fielding With All of His Old Time Brilliance, While Collins, on Whom White Sox Largely Base Their Hopes, Seems to Be in the Depths of a Slump.

By FRANK EW YORK, April who figured that Connie Mack was a master boob when he sold Eddie Collins for a ransom are wondering now if Connie pull a master trick. It looked as though Connie never could get a man who would come within a million miles of filling place at second, but Connie got Darry Lajoie, who is lamming the ball well over the .300 mark and who is fielding with all of his old time brilliance. He doesn't cover quite as much ground as Collins did, but he covers a very large portion of that infield. And as to Collins------Well, Edward Trowbridge doing any scintillating stunts this spring. He seems to be in a slump.

Up to the present he has been hitting them they while in the days of old he clubbed to those portions of the lot they Collins, briefly, struck his batting stride, and those who expected him to jump right into his White Sox uniform and knock all the boards off of the fence have been disappointed. Fielding Is Only Fair. Collins is fielding well, but his fielding to date been any more startling than Perhaps is a bit off color just now and will round into old time shape in a few weeks. But the windy city fans forget their disappointment of the presen t. Collins would have won the White Sox favor for all time had he treated himself to a fine getaway afield and at bat, even had he slipped back a little later.

The first impressions usually are the lasting with baseball fans. As it is. Collins must do some amazing stunts later on to remove the poor impression gained from his poor start. Connie' Has $25,000, Anyhow. Connie may regret departure some day, but right now he He has in Lajoie a man who is hitting far G.

He has a man who is felding as well as Collins, and more important than anything else, he has that $25,000 or $50,000 in real, regular cash that was paid to him for his once time second sacker. Collins normally is at least 33 percent more valuable to a ball club than is Lajoie because of his greater speed afield and on the bases But what does it profit a team if it has a man who can run 100 yards in ten seconds if he never gets a chance to do any running? Collins is a whirlwind On the bases, but he been on the base often enough to date fo exercise his pedals. Hopes Based on Collins.

The White Sox fans hoped pennant hopes this spring. About 33 percent of those hopes were based on Collins hitting out for about .333 all year. Since Collins been doing any demon stunts at the bat, the hopes are not so high as they were. But the White Sox folks despair. Unless there is something radically wrong with Collins he ought to and soon.

a natural hitter and an occasional slump is a natural happening. Marquard Makes Records. Marquard may not be a good actor, but the Reuben surely is a great compiler of baseball records. In 1912 he won 19 games in a row, establishing a modern record. In 1914 he pitched 21-inning game in Pittsburg.

It is the longest major league game on record. Not content with those achievements, tried for one in the other direction. He lost 12 games in a row in 1914, which is quite a record in itself. And now is at the record business again, starting the season with a no-run, no-hit victory. Some folks think established a record by jumping from New York to Brooklyn and back again.

quite a feat, admit, but Walt Johnson holds the record for lengthy jumping. Walter jumped from Wash- BY GOING FAST!

1 Hester declares that he will keep within the limit for he realizes the safety of the league depends upon all managers keeping strictly within the $1200 mark. Hester is a man who knows baseball and when he makes a pledge he will keep it so the other managers can quit worrying about Phoenix on that score. Incidentally, it may be pointed out that Hester is taking three men without any previous experience in league baseball and that is more than any other manager except Bill Quigley can say. There was some question at the Cen! tral Labor council as to the attitude there and the victory of Kitty men over Phoenix has stirred them up. Herb Hester all worried over the outlook in Phoenix, which he declares is one of the best cities in the whole southwest.

There will be no trouble over the release of Herb Hester from Salt Lake City to Phoenix. The deal was arranged weeks but there has evidently been some delay on the part of the Phoenix club in sending the purchase money to manager Cliff Blankenship of the Coast league aggregation. One El Paso fan declares that he simply attend the opening game. He has a young son who old enough to take particular notice of the national game at the present time but this fan is a real determined booster for El Paso and he predicts that it will be a great city in a few years. He wants this son of his to be able to say, when he grows up and attends the ball games, label and every bit of printing for the that he was present at the first exhibi- i league label, tion of league baseball ever seen in El Paso.

In the first inning. Art Stadelli, of Tucson, sent a two-bagger to deep left; then Chesty Cox singled to right: delli beat the throw and crossed the plate, bringing in the first run in the new league. It was a slugfest throughout, and the reason Tucson made such a strong showing was due to excellent team work, while the Phoenix players seemed to be unacquainted with each other and at critical moments went to sleep. In the fifth. Fuller, the Tucson catcher, kept pulling down balls and criticizing umpire decision on strikes and balls.

Fulweider then joined and both talked to the umpire. Kane told them to play ball and be quiet. Fuller kept nagging. five said Ka.ne. The game then proceeded according to the rules.

The crowd in the grandstand witnessed the whole affair and, although believing Kane right, immediately took up a collection and when Fuller went to the bench he was handed $5 to pay the fine. Tacfton Wins in Fourth. Tucson put the game away in the basket in the fourth when they hit Hall hard and chalked up three runs; added two in the next inning and then appeared to loaf, leaving Phoenix get an unearned run in the eighth. Phoenix made the only double play on an attempted steal. Pittman started to second and Fulweider home from third in the sixth.

The Phoenix team ran in and. slapping the ball like lightning, caught both, retiring Tucson. Phoenix Overthrow. The first base on balls came in the fourth and went to Hall. The Phoenix errors were mostly overthrows at critical times which allowed the Tucson Old Pueblos to run home.

Phoenix was far ahead in base stealing but the players never backed each other up. The attendance was small, compared with what it should have been. After J. LOCKE. this big crowds W'ill be on hand, as there is plenty of enthusiasm but not much cash around.

Get the Local Color. Many women were in the crowd and their shrieks and squeaks were added to the groans and cheers of the fans who developed a new stunt by calling the players names of various celebrated moving picture actors, such as John Bunny, Million Dollar Mystery and Hazard. No Home Runs Made. Elvsian Grove has been enlarged and, regardless of many deep drives to the fences, there were no homeruns or over fence hits. A bonehead play which made the crowd mad was in the seventh when Fuller sent an infield grounder twisting along the third base line to Scanlon, who watched it till it passed him.

Two runs were made in that inning because of this. In the seventh, Fulweider only only pitched four balls, two pop outs; then a drive to Strolloff, who had his mit right there, retiring Phoenix.

This question was raised because one small job of printing happened to be done without the union label.

Manager McCloskey is strongly in favor of the union labor and every bit of work on the new park was done by union painters and carpenters; every bit of printing for the local club, with the one exception noted, bears the union the fans told the players that if they The Tucson club showed its strength crossed the line into Mexico they would Tuesday. overlook that club.

Wiltse Tannehill F. Smith Rhoades ALEXANDER BETTER THAN W. JOHNSON Speed Equnl hut Control, Curves find Judgment Are Better. By JAMES P. SIXOT.

New York, April Moran believes he is going to win the league pennant with the Phillies. Moran has managed the Phillies in just 11 games. Perhaps that is why he is so optimistic. Whether or not t'aey make good their manager's boast, the Sleepville brigade is certain to make trouble for each and every outfit in the Tener organization ere the season wanes to October. The presence of Grover Cleveland Alexander on the club roster is in itself sufficient guarantee of the statement.

Somewhere may lurk a better pitcher than Grover Cleveland Alexander, but just at this moment we cannot recall his name. We make this statement conscious that a Swedish person named Johnson is burning them over the familiar platter in Washington in his best form. For all-fired effectiveness, in our humble opinion, Grover Cleveland Alexander looms beyond even the senatorial sensation on the payroll of Clark Griffith. Alexander, has practically as much speed as Johnson. Not exactly as much perhaps, but enough for all purposes.

His curve ball is much better than his control superior, and his poise and judgment easily as good. urthermore, he shows no tendency to be an in-and-outer. Since he first flashed across the margin of the game as a sTar, he has Jield true to his course. Johnson, despite his brilliancy, has slipj-id woefully, now and then. It is not the purpose of the writer to belittle Walter Johnson.

The game has produced few grander athletes than the speed king. However, to our mind, Alexander surpasses him as a mounds- nian. and in summing up the causes tor Pat optimism regarding his Phillies it is well to dwell upon that fact. A they vreather keeps out the dust. Rathbun-Mix Adv.
