Tigers, Pirates, Giants and Cubs Each Excel in One Branch of Baseball ■;W VcmK, May 23. —One of the com plexities of base ball, a pastime that owns many blind alleys of theory, is the fact that the Detroit Tigers have al ways possessed outfielders of re markable bitting ability. Another Is the record of t h e Pittsburgh Pirates in being without a first class first base man from the departure of Kitty Bransfleld, back around 1307, to the arrival of I-efty firimm In 1313. A third and fourth might be lermed the ability of John McOraw to develop base runners and lha Chicago Cubs first-class catchers. There is no particular reason why those things should be. although in MeOra^w s case base running has al ways been a fetish until the introduc tion of the “Jack rabbit" ball, lie hail to round up fast men. however, and these worthies are born, not made. In the case of the Tiger outfielders, no logical explanation can he offered. In the early days of the American league Sam Crawford, flanked by I>avy Jones and Matty McIntyre, was the Big Bertha of the attack, a great hitter always. In 1305 Cobb came along snd for years thereafter the Cobb-Crawford combination was the most feared In baseball. Subsequently this duo was Joined by Bobby Veach, who rounded out the greatest hitting outfield of this generation, if not all others. Craw ford finally faded, but before he pass | ed on to the minor leagues Harry I Hellmann was purchased from Port land, Ore., and almost immediately came Into recognition as a slugger. >*ext to Hornsby he Is easily lh<- best right hand hitler in the major leagues at the moment, A year or so after Heilmann's ail vent Ira' Flagstead, recently traded to the Boston Bed Sox, came up from Tacoma and proved himself a consist ent .300 hlllei is extra outfielder. Ira's passing to another .club was hastened only by the fact that the Tigers seem to have picked up an other fine hitting outfielder In the person of Boh Kotherglll, who topped I the International league last year. Fotherglll is slated to replace Vcacb In the none too distant future, al ' though the latter Is likely to hit .300 for the rest of his days. Pittsburgh's first base famine de fies explanation in view of the fact that no duh figures to go 13 years without an acceptable candidate for any one position. Dreyfusa did have lhe original claim on George Slsler, but was Jockeyed out of it. Other wise his efforts to line up a candi date were without success. The Cuba have never been wiihnut good catching since (lie days of. Johnny Klillg. After that great re ceiver began to slip, Jim Archer stepped In Slid headed the field for years Then came Bill Killefer, the , best of his day, and now O'Farrell and Hartnett are carrying the Job through very well, Indeed. Buffaloes to Make Strong Bid for Flag ATCH those Buffa loes! Burch and Konetchy's boys are going to make a lot of trouble In this year's West ern league race of ours, else we are off in our reckon oning a few de grees. Of course, one swallow doesn't make a summer, in fact it would take a whole flock of them to Improve the weath ei around these parts, and by the same token one should not pass judgment on the Buffaloes Just because they made such a good showing against lowly clubs hpre last week, hut if the Buffaloes play the same article of I aseball they showed against Sioux * 'ity they're going to have something to say as to “who's who along pen nant row'' and don't you forget it. either. Throw out that defeat handed the herd by Pes Moines yesterday. The Boosters brat the Buffaloes 11 to 10. Just one run, but at the same time a one-run victory is Just, as good as a 11-run win. Thai club of Pcs Moines isn’t a bad one. The Boost ers lilt pretty hard and plajlng in their own back yard helps a whole lot, gents. Should Defeat lies Moines Next Time. I.ee, May and tipecce tried to heat Pes Moines, hut failed. May was credited with the loss, but we opine that the next time this fellow hurls against the Boosters he'll beat them. May was with Pes Moines last jear, hut that doesn't count. We have now viewed the wares of eight Western clubs and we don't hesitate to Sil.v that the Buffaloes impress us as belni the snappiest bund of the lot. Birrd has surround ei Konetchy with t btinrh of bubbling ambitious, hustling hall players, youtl mixed with experl once, who fairly beam enthusiusm it their work nnd wht as a result of theli successes to date we opine arc just as good as the nex. one among ‘i’a" Tearney's tenants. Wilcox We like the Buffaloes Immensely as a whole and several of the individuals and especially Jimmy Wilcox. There's i a player who is going to lie a heap big help to Konetchy s Herd this sum mer. Jimmy was nut of the lineup j for a time with a bad arm. lie got back in the game when the team re turned to open the season, and ever since he donned the glove on the home lot he 'has been going like a house afire. Jimmy has played in 20 games to date and already lias won a place among the select few of leading bat ters of the circuit. Wilcox Is hatting .3S4. being the fifth highest slugger of the league. O'Connor is fourth. While on this sut.je t cf hitters. Omaha is the only club in the loop that liaa two players listed among the five leading hitters. That's more than Wichita can boast of and the Witches are leading the procession. But to get back to Wilcox. During the Dcs Moines and Hlnux City series here the last two weeks, Wilcox ac cepted 29 chances In seven games and made fuily two bobbles. That's pretty good. Tills Buffalo plays second laise and some mighty hard hit balls conic his way and some of these pellets take some awful funny hops. One of Wil cox's errors was n wild throw to first. Jimmy recovered a hard hit ball and in lelrievlng the pellet aorta got off Inn balance ami his peg to 1 first was high. lie made some won detfill pickups at Ins position and al (he bat lie always did ills part. •\ second baseman in tills man's , league is a pretty busy gentleman. A lot of the hulls ersrked off the lints in Western loop parks travel down sec ond way and the guardian of this 'sack has to lie "johnny on the spot" all tlie time. \Mkuli V* I K.tlii »v lelllii.
