Had Ruth not develop- ed" slugging powers, he probably would be the one great pitcher of his league today. ians, experts and critics of baseball in discussing the great pitchers of the game, all overlook Denton (Cy) Young. . Never is the name mentioned, al- though the discussions include Rad- bourne. and Rusie, Mathewson and Johnson, Wadell and Brown, Joss and Alexander, Bender and McGin- nity, Meekin and Chesbro, Clarkson, Baldwin, Keefe and others. But no reference to Young. Still, Young pitched in the major leagues for 21 years and only John- fon struck out more batsmen. He 'was a winning pitcher in the big leagues after he passed the 0-year mark. Honus Wagner and Napoleon Lajole each served the same number of years in the majors; Ty Cobb must play three years more before he will equal that number. How many pitchers in the last 50 years could equal Young for finish, tech- nique, general mastery, and length of service? Speaking of pitchers that have been overlooked, ome rarely ever bears the name of Babe Ruth in- cluded in the list of great mounds- men. There fs some excuse for this because Ruth's subsequent work as a slugger was so much more spec- tacular that his feats on the pitch ing bill readily passed from memory. However, Ruth not alone was a splendid pitcher for the Boston Am- of the league according to the life- time average of pitchers, Ruth serv- ed as a pitcher through eight sea. sons, won 91 games, Jost 45, and carries a pitching average of .669. He opposed the Tigers in 22 games and losing the samé number. He beat St. Louts 21 times and the Browns wore his pot prey; they beat Ruth but three times, The Babe's pitching record is many points better than that of Wal- ter Johanson, while he is quite a dis- PORT NAP HOTS That the Devis Cup competition has become the real world's tenmis classic is shown by the record entry list for the big event.

GROH AT CREST OF GREAT CAREER Heinle Knight Groh, of the New York Giants, in the world's series of 1922 fielded 1,000 at third base and hit .474 in the five games he play- ed. Thils wonderful playing in the big classic topped off a wonderful sea-! Heinie Groh has reach- | eon in 1922, ed the crost of his brilliant career. How much longer he will continue to scintillate in big league society is a matter of conjecture, It is now 13 years since H, Groh came into big league baseball. Years ago he was chasing grounders over sandlot baseball parks with never a dream that he would be a reign- ing idol of a metropolis. But there is a tide Shakespeare tells about, and the mow famous Heinie Grob, the former hero of cross-lot base- 'ball triumphs, is today riding at the crest and tasting the sweets of the popular wave. OLD RECORDS GO IN DISCARD It 13 a coincidence that two field- ing marks by second basemen, onc of which had stood all attacks on it since 1903, the other since 1903, should be broken in the same cam- paign. During 1922, Stanley Harrie of Washington handled 479 putouts. two more than made by Jimmy Wil- liams in 1903. In the National lea- gue, Frank Parkinson of Philadel- vhia accepted 6562 assists, which broke the old record of 438, made by Napoleon Lajole of Cleveland in 1008, ; That old mark of 156 double plays in m season, held jointly by the Chi- cago White Sox and the New York Grants, was shoved into the discarg by three clubs during 1922. 'Washington with 165, Chicago Na- {ionals, 159; St. Louis Browns, 156, were the teams exceeding the former record.

The financiai troubles of Jim Jef- | fries have taken some space in news- jrapers of late. Jeffries cheerfully says that he is far from 'broke' as i long as he has health and a fighting i heart, and that in 'course of time he { will scrupulously pay off every cent of indebtedness. Jeffries always has had a strong hold on pubMe favor because of his rugged honesty. As a proof of it no sooner were Jim's troubles made public than he began to receive offers from mov- ing picture companies to appear in pictures, and from other promoters to go on the lecture platform, write seriel articles, do theatrical turns, ete. - These promoters all realizes that anything Jeffries does will interest a great many people. Jeffries plans tv go out and work, probably start- ing with a moving picture and then turning his hand to anything else that can earn money. Jeffries' difficulties were al! caus- ed by turning from the trade he knew, When he was too old to box ~|he went back to farming for he was brought up on a farm and he knew all about farming and cattls rais- ing, He worked hard for many years. barder than any of the men he hir- mcney, and property he bought in the early days increased in value until his prosperity attractad the at- tention of oil, mining and other sharks. Being square as a die himself, and beHeving that every man he met vas his friend, Jim was inducad to go Into two or three propositions that he didn't understand, and was easily tricked out of money and prop- lerty. He also put money into a few square investments, but lost it. This was the beginning of his foancial | difficulties. California Still The Most For The Money 1 | : THAT BROKE Him!
