Sam Rice Marvel of Modem Base Ball: Base Ball Offers Big Future for Youths

HOLDS FAST SHEDESPITE 1 YEARS;

(

Veteran Outfielder Long \

Mainstay of Nationals. 1A’s Here Today.

BY JOHN B. KELLER.

WHEN picking the wondersof modern base ball,write around the top ofyour list the name of

one Edgar Charles Rice, outfielder,with the Washington club. There’s .a ball player for you. In his sis- ,teenth season as a big leaguer— <always with the Nationals—Edgar iCharles, or if you don’t know him iby that name, Sam, not only has jsince the start of his major ca-reer been a mainstay of the Wash-ington club, but also one of theprominent figures of the game.

These days when managers wildlygrab at anything that looks as thoughIt may field some and bang the ballmore, Rice stands out a marvel. Young-

sters come and youngsters go. but Samstill carries on at a pace that keepshim among the elite of the ball parkpastures. Old Man o’ War he was dub-bed years ago and the name still fits.In comparison with many who havebeen seen in action in the AmericanLeague outfields in recent years RiceIs a stake horse among selling platers.

Rice is starting his fifteenth season,but it is his sixteenth with the Nation-als. He served a greater cause in 1918,

going with Uncle Sam’s artillery insteadof rifling pitchers offerings. That prob-ably made the hurlers of that yearhappy, for Sam certainly punished op-posing moundsmen before that time.Nor did his Army service take anythingfrom his batting eye, for he has wal-loped them since, and this year hasopened fire on the pitchers in awaythat indicates another fine season is instore for him.

Hits in Every Game.Rice has not missed getting one hit

or more in any of the seven games theNationals have played up to today. Hehas socked the ball for a cool averageof .355, socking left-handers as well asright-handers. No matter what sidethey pitch from, the pitchers do notseem to puzzle this southpaw swingerto any great extent. And Sam has beenshifty in right field, too. He has han-dled 23 chances, an average of morethan three per game. That’s busy field-ing in right.

What a record has this player, whowas 38 years old last February 20. Hisgrand major league batting average is.322. Only in three years has he battedbelow .300 and his lowest stick averagewith the Nationals reads .295. That’swhat he hit in 1922.

With major clubs now paying from$5,000 to $20,000 for an ordinary out-field prospect today, just Imagine whata youngster as promising as was Ricewhen he took to outflelding in 1916would fetch. Yes, it would be well upin five figures. And Sam was boughtfrom the Petersburg club of the oldVirginia League for SBOO.

FOR some time last season second .base on the Washington club wassomething to worry Manager WalterJohnson. Not so now. Buddy Myer,shifted from third to second during the1929 campaign, was no shining lightthere for some while, but he has devel-oped into a right good keystone sackerthis year. Buddy drilled earnestly atthe position during the training period.He realized his shortcomings as a mid-dle-station guardian and set about toImprove himself. For a time he washandicapped by a sore arm, but eventhat did not keep him out of play morethan a few days. And, having doggedlytoiled for weeks, Myer reveals consid-erable class at his position. He hasmade some remarkable stops in thechampionship games, thrown well andplayed heads-up base ball. Buddy seemsabout to swing into a good battingstride, too. When he does, he’ll be amighty valuable player to his club.

BEFORE long, Earl Webb, big left-hand swinger, recently procured

from the Cincinnati Reds, may be seenat the plate as a pinch-hitter. WhenWebb Joined the club in Boston lastweek, he had not looked over muchgood pitching in batting drills and forthat reason Manager Johnson hesitatedto send him to the plate in emergencies.Webb Is a free swinger and freeswingers are rather easy to fool whenthey have not had much stick drill.Now, however, thA new National hashad considerable practice at bat andJohnson declares he will not hesitate touse him in a pinch.

SAMMY WEST has not hit often forthe Nationals to date, but what

little hitting he has done has beensound hitting. All told, West has cloutedsafely only five times, yet the fivesafeties netted 11 bases. Among Sammy’sdrives were a homer, a triple and adouble.

DURING the three-game series withthe Athletics that was to open in

Griffith Stadium this afternoon, BennyTate may get a chance to show hiswares behind the bat for the first timeIn the championship season. Tate, ingood trim, caught well during the train-ing period, but has been held back be-cause Ruel’s batting eye was clearerat the outset of the flag race.

YTTITH the A’s likely to show theW Nationals much left-handed pitch-ing during their stay, George Loeppprobably will have plenty of center-fielding to do for the Johnson bandLoepp covers plenty of territory in thepastures and he swings a pretty effec-tive bat from the right side.

TOO cold again yesterday for Na-tionals and Red Sox to play, so

there’ll be some double-heading at theball yard May 21 and 22, when theHub team is here again. It wasn’t toocold for morning practice, though.Manager Johnson had his charges outfor a two-hour batting drill that gaveevery one a fine workout.

WEATHER STORINGUP DOUBLE BILLS

Only Two Games Staged inMajors Yesterday—Cold

Keeps Fans Away.

By the Associated Press.

THEpresent chills and dampness

of Spring appear to be storing

up trouble for major league

base ball teams almost as fast

as they are piling up double-headers.Only one club so far has played all its

games, the Chicago Cubs gaining this

honor, while the St. Louis Cardinalsand Detroit Tigers have escaped seriousconsequences with but one postpone-

ment apiece.More cold weather yesterday caused

the postponement of all but two major

league games and neither of theseproved very profitable to the club own-ers. Only about 1,000 St. Louis fansturned out to see the Browns beat De-troit, 12 to 4, while about three times

that number appeared at the Cubs'park in Chicago to see the St. LouisCardinals down the National Leaguechampions, 9 to 2.

For the rest, the cold was piling upmore grief. The Boston Braves, forexample, seem headed for something

like the slaughter of September, 1928,when they played four successive dou-ble-headers against the New YorkGiants and lost all eight games. The

Braves now have five twin bills to playagainst New York and each one makesthe prospects look better for the Giants,who have less need to conserve theirstrength.

. ,...

The New York Yankees are in similardifficulties. Out of six games scheduledagainst Philadelphia, they succeeded inplaying only the opener in each city.

And the Yankees have a rather smallstaff of starting pitchers, ill fitted to en-dure the rigors of a succession of twinbills, while the champion Athletics seemready to go as far as they like withovertime play.

The Chicago White Sox also seemheaded for trouble with six doubleheaders scheduled against the ClevelandIndians and St. Louis Brown, both ofwhom have more pitching strength tohurl into the battle.

Although St. Louis gained all theglory in the two games that did sur-vive yesterday, the teams owe it to aselect few players. George Fisher, slug-ging young outfielder, played the leadingrole as the Cardinals downed the Cubs,

scoring one run and driving in fourwith a single, two doubles and a sacri-fice in four trips to the plate. ChickHafey followed the example Fisher setin the previous inning when he tripledwith the bases loaded to bring in threeof the five runs St. Louis scored in thatinning. Sylvester Johnson hurled theentire game for the Cards.

Fred Schulte and Chad Kimsey di-vided the honors in the Browns’ tri-umph over Detroit. Schulte did mostof the heavy hitting, while Kimseystepped in as a relief pitcher whenHerman Holshauser began to wabble andshut out the Tigers without a hit for

1 four innings.

BY WALTER TRUMBULL.

NEW YORK, April 25.—Joe Jacobs,wearing a German haircut, secured onhis recent European trip, said todaythat he was more than delighted withthe training quarters at Endicott,N. Y., which he has selected for MaxSchmeling.

Endicott is nine miles from Bing-hamton, where Jack Sharkey was bomand spent his early years under thename of John Cuccoskey, so Max shouldhear more or less of the history ofhis coming opponent. Jacobs says thatEndicott Is Just the prettiest place heever saw. Coming from such a widelytraveled man as Joe, that is high

praise.Schmeling sailed for New York yes-

terday. On his arrival he will be photo-graphed and interviewed, then visitMadison Square Garden and afterwardjourney to his training camp. He willhave from May 5 until June 12 to getinto condition.(Copyright. 1930. by North American News-

Buck Harley, once the king of south-paw duckpinners, got off to a fair startin class A singles with a game of 117,but from there on It was a struggle. Hetotaled 303, a score that Buck couldhave rolled in the old days right-handedand possibly blind-folded.

ABILITY. AMBITIONCHIEF REQUISITES

Opportunity and FinancialRewards Never Greater,

Says Howard Ehmke.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL.Associated Press Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, April 25.—How-ard Ehmke, the lankyblond veteran with theslow smile and the slower

curve that confounded expertsand Chicago Cubs alike in thelast world series, has a reassuringmessage for base ball-mindedyouth.

Not only are better young ball playerscoming Into the big leagues all thetime, but the caliber of the youths hasImproved steadily since Howard firstwandered out to a big league pitchingmound in Detroit 14 years ago. Fur-thermore, opportunity and financial re-wards for youngsters never were greaterthan today.

“They say good young pitchers aren’tcoming up to the big leagues any more,”he snorted as he warmed up in a hotellobby, for the chill outside preventedany hope of a ball game. “That’s false.Look at Liebhardt, Mahon and Mahaf-fey, all newcomers to the Athletics thisSpring. All fine young pitchers.

“All a kid coming in needs is naturalability and ambition today. He’ll findall the veterans eager to teach him.He’ll find clean, wholesome athletes tolive and team with. The slack, un-kempt element has gone from base ball.

Have Things to Learn.“Young pitchers usually arrive with a

lot of speed and stuff and things tolearn. Usually they learn rhythm, poiseand to field their position. Experiencecomes with these and then you have areal pitcher.”

The big blond tfith the aching arm,permanent reminder of an old injury,climbed to his feet and scratched animaginary pitching rubber on the rug.He took his stance and, except for hisclothes, looked exactly as he did whenhe stepped out of obscurity last Fallto baffle the Cubs, win the first gameof the world series for the A’s and pileup 13 strikeouts.

“Most new pitchers place the forwardpart of the right foot on the rubber sothat the foot points directly at the bat-ter. During the wind up they mustturn the foot so that it points to thirdbase. That throws the body out of line,the rhythm is lost and the ball doesn’tgo exactly where you want it. Thecure is to point your foot to third basebefore you start to wind up.”

Then Ehmke bent over as thoughhe had a golf club in his hands. Hestill looked like Ehmke, the pitcher.

“It’s the same principle in golf,” heexplained. “Iplay a fair game, butwhen I sway backward—like this—as Iswing I lose my rhythm and I slice.I’ve moved the wrong part of the body.It affects my control of the golf balljust as twisting the foot affects thepitch.

Sam Jones a Stylist.“Youngsters should pick out four good

pitchers and study their styles insteadof trying to copy something from everythrower they see. I advise the newpitchers to study Herb Pennock of theYanks, Ted Lyons of the White Sox,George Uhle of the Tigers and SamJones of Washington. I believe theyhave the best styles.

“Nonchalant, easy-going kids makethe best pitchers because they are coolunder fire. They must have experi-ence—sitting on the bench does nogood. And finally, they must field theposition. If a poor fielding pitchermisses 15 out of 30 balls hit to him, halfwill drive in runs and maybe four willwin ball games. Those four games canturn an ordinary pitcher, winning 15and losing 15, into a great pitcher, win-ning 19 and losing 11.”

Ehmke likes the youngsters. He Iscoaching Connie Mack’s rookies thisSpring. By the middle of May, whenthe sun comes out, he hopes to be inthere winning ball games. He wantsto be ready for the opening game ofthe next world series.
