At college,' Severs was Hlanford'Si
star pitcher as well .aa' halfliurk.
Ho also was as proficient a hal
man us pitcher. He' won many of
hi important game through bis
hitting aa much u hi, pitching.
Nevers is the- ideal athlete, as
far aa physique. Is coacerded, to be
a successful pitcher. X six-footer,
the possessor of a powerful pair of
houtderM, he gels plenty oh the ball.
In college, and at preselll, Nevers
is an underhand pitcher. His style
Is somewhat similar Ul that of furl
Mays, except that he doesn't get as
low with his arm and body before
delivering tbe ball. -
During spring training the St.
joun club had him -eBperiraent
with a sldearni delivery, believing
thut he might prove more affective,
djje largely to the thought that he
would develop better control.
Kevers still sticks to the under
hand style and is a good prospect,
his greatest fault, of course, being
lack of experience.
HOIINKHY IXXiK!
Munager Kqger Hornsby of the
St. Iouis Cardinals is generally
considered baseball's greatest bat
ter at the present time, A pitcher
who can trouble Hornsby certainly
must have something on lha boll. "
Recently while discussing the
pennant chanced of his club with
me. he dwelled on the fact thai he
expected Vic Keen and Walter
Huntxlnger. to win for. Mm.
I Last season Huntxlnger was used '
almost exclusively oa relief pitch- i
er by tho New Trork.Oiants. while i
'the best Keen could' do with the.
J Chicago Tubs was -to win two
games while suffering si Uereata.
He worked In part of 30 games.
While Hornsby is mighty modest ,
about his hitting ability, 1 appre
ciated, the. logic of his remarks
when' he explained to me why he
made the deals for Keen and Hunl
Ilngei. ."Both those birds were mighty
tough for me to mk base hits on,
so r figure them worth a, chanc
as regular.
Both pitchers have' already Justi
fied Hornsby's confidence. In the
first in days of play. Keen had
won his first two starts, as many
vlrtorle us he tiling up sll lust
season.
KTIlAJif.l-i BIT TRt'E
Would you bo surprised at the
statement that more I sum hits are
made on bad balls, strikes that are
Just over or balls thai Just nils the
plnte, than on strikes that cut tbe
heart.
While I nave noted that fart
during my manyyura of umpiring.
It wiw forcibly brought to my at
tention recently by Iho conversa
tion of two mighty good liatiers.
Catcher Jlargravea Pt lha Ht.
Ixmls club had Just . popped up 10
the Infield on a perfett strike, right
over the plate, walet high. ' Just
such n, ball you would expect to hit
out of the lot. :
As Hurgravi resumed his placs
back of the bat at the close of the
iunlng, he remarked to This Speak
er, the first man up for Cleveland:
"How do you pop Vm up that
way when they are right over?"
That's ilvnji the way with
those perfect strikes." replied
Hpeaker. "I get more hit on bod
balls than good ones and hit 'rra
harder.

LUCE the chap in the song, I'm sitting
on top of the world. -And it's not a
bad world when you look at it from all
ides.' I've hit some rough spots, but
managed to keep my seat. I want to let
it be known that the road has been a
heap smoother since I discovered Prince
Albert. Here is tobacco!
My old jimmy-pipe and Prince Albert
and I go along just singin' a song from
morning to midnight. Whenever I get
to feeling low, I take out my pipe, tamp
a load of good old P. A. into the muzzle
and light up. Old Man Trouble takes
French leave the minute that wonderful
smoke starts up the stem. "
Prince Albert is friendly in spirit and
friendly in fact. It never bites my tongue
or parches my throat. They tell me the
Prince Albert process fixed that for me
and millions like me. I only know that
P. A. is cool and satisfying as spring
water on a hot afternoon and that it suits -me
to a T.
You're welcome to this leaf out of my
book. If you're not smoking P. A.
you're not getting full enjoyment but of
your pipe. . Just get yourself a tidy red
tin of Prince Albert. Load up your old
jimmy-pipe and light up. Nothing com
plicated about that, is there? Well, that's
my formula. It always works for me.
