JULY IT. lttl. Pitchers Are Sought; New Ball Is Cause Outfielder Cooper of the Oakland club recently handled ten put-outs in a game with the Seattle club. This la a record for the Coast league, but the best mark that could be found in record books la 13 pu touts and one assist by Shorten of the Province club In 115. TT7ITH the usual numbers of catchers, . W infielders and outfielders who will get "coffee and" In the big tent next spring, indications point to a larger corps of young pitching material than ever before In the history of baseball win be taken south. Major league scouts are searching every available spot for hurlers. The calibre of pitching in the various leagues throughout the country this year la rar below the usual standard. Whether it ia due to the elimination of freak deliv eries or the lively baseball, ia a question of debate. TANK SCOUT DUE S00" Bob Connery scout of the New York Yankees, who Is expected to be up in these parts during the latter part of this month or the first part of August, us said to be on the lookout for pitchers. He is not keeping his optics on any cer tain infielders or outfielders, but ia watching the form displayed by the various hurlers with close scrutiny. Other "ivory hunters" are doing the same. There are a number of pitchers in the Coast league this season who are likely to be grabbed by the big leaguers. A deal was cooked up for the delivery of Herman Ptllette to the Detroit Tigers next spring, but the suspension of "Suds Sutherland will likely result In Pillette's remaining with the Beavers unless the Tigers come through with another hurler, JOHNSON SHOWING GOOD Syl Johnson, who has a pitching aver age over 100 points better than the stand standing of the Beavers, will likely be grabbed for a trial in the majors next spring. Considering that this season Is John son's first Id real fast company and his second in professional baseball, his pitching can be classed with that of the best hurlers In the circuit. Johnny Couch and "Lefty" O'Doul of the Seala are likely to get a chance in the big ahow again next season. Both have been up, but failed to stick. This . year finds them the two top-no tchers of the Seals' hurling staff. If ANY ARE GRABBED Reinhart, who Is a southpaw for the Angels, is to go back to the St. Louis Cardinals. Shea, a newcomer on the Sacramento team, is also likely to get a call from the big show. A number of minor league pitchers have been grabbed already by the ma jors and more college twlrlers have been signed this season by big league dubs than In any previous year. The New York Americans recently picked up five of them and other clubs are giving them tryouta. The majors are looking for hurlers who have the stuff on the new ball, j Should the old ball come back, some of the veterans might be able to deliver as of yore, but most of them will find themselves down In lower leagues next season if the lively ball is retained. SPORTS OF Aids SC sours When Joe Schepner, third baseman of the Louisville American Association club. accepted 13 chances without error In the first game at St Paul recently sport writers declared that he equaled the major league record for third basemen, made by George Cuts haw of the Brook lyn Nationals on August 23, 1913. Infielder Jimmy Smith, who was hilWi to join the Seattle club this spring, has been purchased by the Philadelphia Nationals. Browns Hold Up Delivery Of Bert Cole Outfielder Bill Holden of the Baltimore club has quit the Orioles He had an argument with Manager Dunn about his salary and refused to don his uniform. Jack Petri n, Michigan outfielder, has been signed by the Boston Red Sox for a try out. The New York Giants have nurchasea Pitcher Proctor from the Columbia club of the South Atlantic league. Shortstop Bell and Catcher Cocklln oi the Columbia (Pa) Moose team have been signed by the Detroit Americans. The St. Louis Cardinals have been crying out a new shortstop named Reu ten Cohen, who hails from somewhere in the East, where be was just let out of college. He had been with the Car dinals only a few days and had got la his first game when he decided to change his name to Ewlng. Whatever and whoever he is, he has the marks of being a ball player. 0! PIRATE FANS CAN KEEP BALLS Pittsburg, July 16 Fans who attend games at the National league baseball park here may keep balls knocked into the stands without fear of beinar mo lested. This order was issued by Robert J. Alderdice, director of public safety. Director Alderdice made the ruling following- threatened damage suits against' policemen who placed three fans under arrest for refusing to throw bails back onto the diamond. NE more week on the road, and the Beavers will return to their home lair for a period of three weeks. During the stay the Vernon Tigers, Salt Lake and Sacramento clubs are schedules to play here. The Beavers are still struggling along with a one-lunged pitching staff as the result of the suspension of Sutherland by Judge Landis and the refusal of the St. Louis Browns to waive on Bert Cole, former San Francisco southpaw. PITCHING WEAKEST The Browns held up the delivery of Vernon Parka (Harold Brooks) and now prevent Cole from being shipped back to the coast circuit The offensive and defensive of the Beavers has been fairly strong since the club took to the road, but the pitching has been decidedly off color, although the young hurlers have turned In some pretty fair games. Since the opening of the season the Mackmen have won but two series, beat ing Los Angelea in two out of three gamea and winning the other aeries from the Salt Lake Beea Cravath's aggre gation appears to be the only one that the Beavers can battle with, the Mack- men having captured eight out of the 14 games from the Beea. TO PLAT SEALS AGAIN With the Seala Portland has won one out of 14 battles. Against Sacramento they have won three out of 19. Seattle has won 12 out of 15 gamea with Port land and Los Angeles has won eight out of nine games. The Beavers annexed three gamea out of 14 with Oakland. George Grantham, the former Tacoma infielder, haa been doing fairly good work with the stick in the few games in which he has participated. Grantham waa scheduled to travel to Santa Maria last spring, but at the last minute Man ager McCredie decided not to take him. This week the Beavers are scheduled to tangle with the Seala again. The Se attle club will play Los Angeles and Oak land is scheduled to play In Salt Lake. Vernon and Sacramento will battle at Sacramento. Portland Tennis Star Is Recognized in East P.

XCLE WTLBERT ROBINSON, man ager of the Brooklyn Superbas, cer tainly can not be accused of being a mollycoddle. He was raised in a school of baseball wherein about every second game was a free fight, or pretty near it, and he caught for 25 years without ever hearing of shin guards Uncle frankly confessed that the ball of today is dan gerously lively. Quoth he, wBlle in Pitta burg recently : "While many pitchers, and, I am sorry to confess, those of Brooklyn team In particular, have been slow in rounding to form and have been easy to solve, the unheard of hitting this season is mostly due to a lively ball such as we never used before. ' COVERS ABE TIGHT "In previous years a person with strong fingers could take a regulation major league baseball and by manipu lating it could cause the cover to pucker a little, especially when the ball had been used. This year the cover ia so tight that it is barely possible to bring about the puckering, even when the ball haa been used a long time. "Another thing : It was not very un usual for balls in previous years to be come somewhat lopsided from batting. Ed Konetchy hit a triple against the left-center wall in Brooklyn last year and the one blow knocked the ball so lopsided that it waa thrown out by Um pire Rigler. and somebody saved it for a curiosity. This year I have not seen a ball knocked out of shape by any amount of batting. "I have cut open several balls and find the rubber cores the same as they have always been, but my impression is that the woolen yarn around the core la tighter and harder. An expert ex plained to me that because of the short age of wool during the war and the fresh imports of long atored wool since the war, the character of the wool has changed. "Before the war the manufacturers bought their wool every year. It constantly coming in as raw material and going out as baseballs The result waa that the age of the wool in the balls was about the same in each year's supply. Whether the manufacturers used very young or very old wool I do not know, but I do know that it waa about the same. The war caused a break in the steady flow of the wool to the base ball mills and my expert friend attrib uted the change in the liveliness of the baseball to that. "It seems to be the moat reasonable explanation, as the manufacturers would hardly have an object in lying about the matter, when the figures every day and personal observation of those who watch the games prove that the ball does travel faster and further now than it did in other years. The lively ball is hard for the pitch ers to handle. They say it feels heavier, although the official weight remains un changed, and they tell me they can not grip it properly. Even the big winning pitchers say they notice the excessive tightness of the cover and that they cannot get their ringers on the ball as they could in other years. One effect of the extreme liveliness is interfering with the work of the in fielders. The ball scoots by before they can step after it Even when they are lying back and when they are playing in, aimost any una of a blow shoots past before they can budge. EFFECT OH THE PITCHERS "Pitchers are being bunged up by the lively ban. urimes had his right thumb smashed by one in Chicago and was on the bench for nine days Four days before that he had his gloved hand near ly torn off by a fast arouhder. All of these pitchers have been hit in games' ana nurt, as waa Kuether in Cincinnati It should also be remembered that the pitchers in batting practice are subject to even more dangers than those in the games as they seldom put as much on the ball and are seldom as clever in fooling the batter as the first-string men. 'All of our youngsters have been battered. John Miljus must have solid cement legs, for Just before we left home he was caught by a couple of hot drives through the box that would have disabled an elephant. "Any team that goes through this season without a valuable man hurt by a batted Dan win he lucky." THIL NEER, a Portland boy. is ranked A No. l among the Intercollegiate ten nis players of the United States as a re- It of hia successful Invasion of the Neer. who is playinr under the colors of Stanford university and is ac companied by his teammate. Jimmy Oavies. won the 1921 Intercollegiate sin gles championship from J. B. Fsaim Jr. of Harvard university two weeks ago. Eastern tennis critics who have wit nessed the Oregon star in action predict a bright future for him and thev say that he is far from being at the height of his career. In the final singles match with Fenno, N ear's driving was fast de spite the heavy ball. It rained during the contest and this ia said to have had a lot to do with the Harvard youth's down fall, but it la not meant to take away rrora nun victory. Fenno wears heavy tortoise ah en glasses and they freauenttr became clouded, causing him to lose a number of points at critical times. He clayed hia usual steady game, according to reports, but it was not equal to the task of beat ing the crushing attack be had to face, nr DOUBLES, TOO Neer and Da vies are placed at the top of the all-star tntercolleglatea doublea selection and they have been receiving rational recognition. They are going to enter the open singles and doublea cham pionships, according to their present plana Neer is a member of the Multno mah Amateur Athletic club and last year won the Oregon state men's singles title. Following is an Eastern account of the Fenno-Neer engagement : "Neer's driving was fast In spite of the heavy ball and he rushed to the net most of the time. Although he was passed many times by Fenno's careful drives, Neer continued to go the barrier and it was there he won the match. "Neer took the first two games of the opening set. both of which went to deuce. Then Fenno began a series of carefully placed shots that forced Neer Into many errors, this resulting in the Harvard boy's winning five games in a row before the Calif ornian was able to score again. Neer took the eighth game after deuce had been called, but lost the next and it was Fenno's set at 6-3. BERTIHG SUPERB "In the second set Neer displayed a typical brand of California tennis. He served with reckless abandon, shooting hia second ball over with the same ter rific speed that he used on hia first de livery. In this way he forced Fenno into a lot of errors. Not only did Neer use his service to advantage, but be also played beautifully at the net. shooting over many cross-court volleys for clean placements that Fenno waa unable even to make a try for. Neer also mixed a. lobbing game with this and when Fenno did assay to go the net he was usually passed by Neer's accurate shots down the side lines. "The third set was s hammer. Neer captured the first two games by forcing the play, but Fenno came back, and by using his head to the best possible ad vantage managed to even up the count at two-alL "The fifth game went 14 points, finally taking on two successive smashes of lobs A BBBBBBS 1 Tennis "1fLLK.

"The tables were Just i e versed In the next sat. Fenno doing all of the forcing and throwing Near off his hard-hitting game by hia careful drives and chops. Fenno also did some neat lobbing in this set. and hia sei rioe. though not as sa vers as his opponent's, was vary effec tive because he placed It so well. This set ended with Fenno on the long end of a 8-1 score. The only game that Neer got was on his own service, the fourth, which he won at love. "Neer opened with service and took the first gasss en two fins drives down the sides after deuce had been called. He then proceeded to brass through Fenno's delivery by driving that waa fierce, al most to the paint of attar recklessness.

Billiard Commission Is Planned in East Hundreds of men Interested In the biniard game in this country are to meet in Detroit July 25 to perfect a na tional billiard association to control the game, both professional and amateur. It is planned at this meeting, which la an outgrowth of a witting held ia New Tork June 14-15, to name s national commission which will act in billiards much in the manner the national com mission does In baseball. It is hoped to name a chief commissioner who would have an authority sa wide as does Judge Landis, the new chief baseball commis sioner. The names of Reed Landis son of Judge Landis. and John K. Tener, former presi dent of the National league, have been suggested for this position and it is probable a man of high caliber will be chosen in Detroit to fill the pest of high commissioner.
