Rookie Inflelder Appears to Be Find for Sisler But St.

Iiouis Manager Not Given to Conversation. BY HEJ4RY L. FARRELL. NEW YORK. April George Sisler is one of the hardest young men in baseball to lure Into conversation and when it comes to making predictions he is as noisy as a mute.

Lincoln country club professional since 1921, has heard the siren call. He leaves next November. In regard to the foregoing question he quite sure but admits a strong possibility. lots of money down there, plenty of competition and golfing weather the year Those are the magnets that are drawing such players as Gene Sarazen, Leo Deigel, Willie McFarlane, Mike Brady and Sommers stated.

He told of the numerous tournaments, practically all of which are open affairs carrying a worthwhile cash-- prize for the winner. Another method of maintaining interest is the formation of a league. Each club or ciTy is represented by two good golfers. The caliber of these golfers can be estimated when it is considered that Deigel and Sarazen played for a Miami club, Mike Brady and Ed WlUiam.s for another Miami club, the Cuici brothers for club, the FL Lauderdale Municipal course; John Brophy and John Rogers and others. Sommers happened to meet John Meadows, now of N.

but formerly of Lincoln and a chairman of the Lincoln country club greens committee here at one time. Meadows was wintering in Florida, He followed the now famous Bobby Jones-Walter Hagen match which Hagen won handily. Meadows told Sommers that the backers of Jones did not give up until the match was hopelessly gone. They thought Bobby would pull it out but the Iron nerves of Walter Hagen never faltered for an instant. He got away to an early advantage and he held it.

Much Depends on Like every other manager of a prominent contender, Sisler feels that the success of the team in the 0 i American league pennant race pends largely on the breaks and the pitching staff.

With the exception of Locke and Davenport the crew Is in excellent condition.

Injury should be healed by the end of the week if Infection does not in. The tangle which resulted in the accident, came in the final touch- off of the ill fated quarter mile relay. Hopelessly out of the running following the Dalley-Heln mlx'up, Davenport lost his balance in passing the baton to Locke, and stumbled and fell. In the fall one of his spikes pierced heel, going in the back and out the bottom of his foot. Davenport was also considerably skinned up from his slide on the cinders.

Both runners however reappeared in the half mile world record breaking relay which Pays Expenses to Compete. Forced to make the trip on his own hook, Robert murk of 23 feet 4 inches which placed him second in the broad jump is all the moro remarkable.

There is no weakness but on the The National league is a curve- ball league largely because of the Influence and attitude of Manager McGraw of the Giants.

He is a strong supporter of the curve ball. His pitchers work It overtime. The methods of McGraw are simply reflected in the other managers. No one has helped more to bring about a revival of curve-ball pitching than McGraw. He Is lo ne complimented for that.

The use of resin makes for a firmer grip on the ball. A curve ball depends largely on the grip secured by the pitcher. Perhaps that is one reason the teen triumphs against whippings.

There was no room for him at second with Marty McManus playing there and Gene Robertson is too good a third baseman to be kept out of the game. Robertson, however, is not of the hustling type and it may be that Sisler will have to move McManus over to third base and use Mellllo at second.

The chances are that Robertson, with competition threatening his job, may put a little more spirit in his game. With Walter Gerber around, the shortstop position is in good hands and Sisler is the best first baseman in basebtiH so there are no Infield worries. The outfield also has plenty ot offensive and defensive strength in Harry Rice, the biggest find of years. Kenneth Williams. Doll Jackson, Durst and Bennett.

Williams was in poor health last year and had a poor season but he ought to be back on his game this year. Wally schang and Dixon, a sharp shooting thrower, will alternate behind the bat. Schang will get the preference because of his experience in handling young pitchers. Loaded With Good Prospects. The pitching staff is loaded down with fine young prospects and ex- veterans.
