Some of Yankees Who Report to St. Louis Americans May Do Some Good, but Pratt Is- Thought to" Be , Slipping and i Plank Has Probably Pitched His Last Game. By H. C. Hamilton NEW YORK, Feb. 2.(U. P.) There is only one chanCe that the Browns can gain anyr benefit,' viewing it from a purely playing viewpoint, through the deal which sent Derrill Pratt and Eddie Plank to the Yankees, and Leslie- Nunaraaker,;Nick Cullop, Urban Shocker, Fritz Maisel and Joe Gedeon to the Browns. Joe Gedeon ma yet live up to expectations and come through L with major; league ability. Urban Shocker' may yet turn out to be a star right handcr the fate predicted for him when he left the International league and graduated into the American. Cullop and Maisel may be classed as dead wood in figuring their worth to the Yankees When Maisel first entered the Amer ican leagued is marvelous speed and ability to run bases excited i critics to praise. It wis then believed that he some day woull learn to hit. If such had been the case Maisel would have been a star of the first magnitude, even though his fielding in the inner sections was not all thatvpould have been desired. , Maisel may take up a regular station at third base for the Browns. If he does he will be just .filling in, something the Browns have been doing for ages. I ' FoltsRiglitsRitclue General's Big Idea Camp Lewis, Feb. 2 (L JT.'S.)

Nick Cullop, graduating from the Federal league to the American, had a wonderful streak of luck with the Yankees for a long- time. He won It games tn a row In the 1916 sea . sob. It has been a matter of gen eral discussion .tn the American league, however, that Kick's great est ability consisted of a good prayer and marvelous luck. This was part ly proven last summer,. when he waa an in-and-outer of the rankest sort. Shocker Slay Get Change Urban Shocker has given plenty Of encouragement to those followers ' Of baseball who predicted that he woujd amount to something some. 1 day. He is a young spltball f linger, a youth who established records In the International league before he got Into faster company. So many pitchers have been roosting In the -Tankee bailiwick that Shocker has been given lltUe opportunity to prove just what he can do. Under the guidance of Fielder Jones, and with a shortage of pitchers In the Brownie fold Shocker may get the - chance to develop. Leslie Nunamaker Is a heavy hit- ter and a most capable receiver. Walters, Alexander and Ruel, all youngsters, are on tho Tankee staff, however, and Miller Huggins doubt less figured they would be of more benefit to him than a veteran with the years of Nunamaker. .:- Both Clsfts Will Benefit , I But, as Colonel Buppert said In . nnounclng the trade, the benefit is f - is great to one club as another.

For the last two seasons his ltUng hasn't been anything of ae- ous consideration . of opposlUon Hubs. J For pure fielding ability the ' Tankees would have been wise vto . , itrlng along , with Joe Oedeon; for ' there are few better fielding second basemen in the game than the young V vraduate of the Pacific Coast league. - Flank Probably Meaas It ; Kddle Plank probably means Just ' what he said when he announced he ' would not-play this summer. - He's : getting old, although he has sUll ' left many good gan.es m his left ; arm.

Pendleton would make an Ideal place to train the Portland club, provided the season opens In May. There Is a splen did ball park In the famous Round-Up inclosure, and the fans there have the spirit to put the thing over If .they once take It up. Pendleton has seen some good ball clubs in the past, and the rivalries of the past with such towns as Walla Walla, LaGraride and Baker have caused the buckaroo town to open the purse-strings, and let the money flow like water. : Receives Lee Statement Judge McCredie received the Lee let ters - from Garry Herrmann yesterday, while the McCredie papers are being perused by Cleveland anent the light for the young busher.

ChaDia Brandoa MIDDLE WEST IS STEONG FOR NEW WELTEE BOXER A Joe .Eagan Has Cauliflower Ear and Everything That "a Fighter Owns. Alexander heading Twirler MOST EFFECTIVE BOXMAN Walt. Johnson Placed Second By Jack Yeloek 'New Tork, Feb. 2. (L N. S.) The method of ranking pitchers for their .-effectiveness is fair enough. It does not belittle the perform ances of the big winning pitcher, though he has allowed opponents many runs. It does help the pitcher who has lost many games through fielding bobbles behind him. There were just IS pitchers out of the 100 odd hurlers in the majors last season who allowed less than two runs per- nine innings pitched, and -naturally enough they were" for the most part outstanding stars. Are Host Consistent. ( ,But though the fairness of rank ing pitchers for their effectiveness In one season is appreciated. It is after all the pitcher who can do the most work and turn in the most victories with consistent regularity who is most valuable to any ball club. The more a pitcher works the greater will be his. victories and losses. Bilt It is for such pitchers that the man agers are constantly hunting. The star hurlers of the big leagues number, perhaps, 20 or more. But the outstanding nine selected here are far and above rivals in consis tency. Grover Cleveland Alexander, through his wonderful pitching last season .and for several seasons prior to that, stands out as the greatest of them all. He turned in 10 . victories last season and was strikeout . king of the lot. He is placed at the head of the list. Babe Bath Forth Walter Johnson, playing with a losing club, worked like a Turk last year. He has ' done the same in years gone by. He is still a great pitcher, regardless of his losses. He is ranked second. Eddie Cicotte, the wonderful, comeback. Is ranked third. Cicotte, apparently, has just found bis true level as a pitcher. Babe Ruth stands fourth in the es timation of the writer. His classi fication will not be agreed upon by more than one in 20 fans, if by that many. Another left-hander, Ferdle Schiipp, is placed fifth among the great pitchers. Schupp has risen to fame In two short seasons. Sixth on tty list comes Jim Bagby of the Indians, with Carl Mays of Boston, seventh; Jim Vaughn of the Cubs, eighth, and Fred Toney of the Reds, ninth.

Feb. 2 Middle West hor- ing fans are singing the praises these days of a new welterweight scrapper who appeared unheralded a few weeks ago and earned a large sized niche In the hall of fame by demonstrating that he is a real two-fisted fighter. He is Joe Eagan. a Boston youth, who Has appeared in several scraps at Milwaukee. Eagan dropped into Milwaukee very quietly and asked for a chance to show what he could do. He waa put on In a preliminary bout and demonstrated at one the power of his punch by clouting his opponent on the chin for a clean knockout. ? Lslls Tbsbi to glee Promoters then gave Eagan three mora bouts hand running and Joe'a snappy wallops lulled two mors bat tlers Into the sleep that lasted antfl the referee had finished counting 10. In the third fight, Eagan was up against Eddie Moha, a tough welterweight, and only the final gong saved Eddie from a knockout. These performances by the Beantown battler have convinced fight followers throughout the Mtddle West that Eagan , is a youth who has a bright pugOistlo future. In his next scrap he will be up against a real test, for- he will tackle Bryan Downey, the Columbus (Ohio) boxer, who is under the tutelage of the well known Tom Jones. , Downey has been coming fast In the last few months and may be the welterweight champion before Eagan meets him. If Eagan can stop him aa he has his other opponents he will be Just about at the top of the welterweight' heap. Has the Old Trademark Eagan Is a typical scrapper In ap pearance, rie is a low-neaaea youtn and carries the fighter's trademark a cauliflower ear. His nose also gives evidence of having stopped numerous lusty punches. . In his ring style Eagan Is of. the perpetual motion type. He start after his man from the first bell and keeps after, him as long as the fight lasts. The word "stall' apparently is not In his vocabulary. Fans who have seen him -declare he is more or less a counter part of Terrible Terry McGovern tn the way he keeps everlastingly boring into an opponent. V Eagan pays little attention to the punches of-his adversary. He is al ways willing to trade a blow for the chance of landing one. He is not very effective at long range, but relies on short punches. His blows seldom travel more than a foot, but when they land they jar ari opponent from his topknot to his Insoles. Eagan is not a boxer In any sense of the word, but .he is a real battler with a knockout wallop In either mitt. J. Peace Only When Fritz Is i Licked Cincinnati, Feb. 2. I.
