SIX
Recent World Series Uncovered Two Brilliant Young Players
LIN Dsn AND
B L U E G E STAR
: AT THIRD BASE
By BILLY EVANS
Those fortunate enough to have
• 'tended tho 1924 world series saw
two of the greatest young player*
In 'he big league* In artlon.
I have reference to Fred Llnds
trom of the New York Giant* and
Osee llluege of the Washington Na
tional*.
It la a bit of a coincidence that
both three players should star at
third base.
Llndstrom essayed to fill the
shoe* of the great Heinle Groh and
did It so well that no one. not even
the Giants, missed the highly val
uable Grob.
In the field the work of Llnds
rom could not have been Improved
tipon. Groh, In his palmy days, nev
er played a better defensive game
at third base. During the series
Llndstrom vr.de a dozen rcainrk
able fielding plays.
At the bat be was a huge sur
prise. Known to be a elever fielder,
no one was greatly surprised by his
brilliant work In that department.
Expected to be Just so-so at the
bit, he was one of the most con
sistent hitters of the series.
Agsinst Walter Johnson. Lind
strom did his best work at the bat,
getting four bits In one game. It
was the sensational batting of this
youngster, who was born about the
time that Johnson broke Into the
majors, that did more thnn any
thing else to Upset Johnson.
Taking the place of Heinle Groli,
who Invariably plays his best In
the pinch, was a big task for the
Hi-year-boy but he more than de
liver.' ;.
I,lk i Llndstrom, Bluege. a great
third baseman, was called upon to
substitute or the star of the se
ries. linger I’ecklnpaugh, Bluege, a
marvel at third, was forced to
shift over to shortstop In four of
■•i e games. He came through with
flying colors.
Bluege Is one of the best fielding
third bnsemen In the majors, not
excepting Joe Dugan of the Yan
kees. He 1a not a great hitter but
always dangerous with runners on
tho basts Incidentally Bluege, with
Ihe free swing he use*, should de
vtlop into a much better batsman
than he I,as so far shown.
Unquestionably two of the out
standing stsra of the big show were
the rival third saekers, Llndstrom
ond Bluege.
In a few years these same young
iron will lie much discussed base
ball celebrities.

Southpaws Dominate Big Leagues
Connie Mack Purchases Prize Package
In “Lefty” Groves
'IEPTy' ‘
klll
(ft
BY BILLY EVANS
Just at present left handed pitch
ers seem to dominate the major lea
gue batsmen.
So pronounced is the superiority
of the southpaws over the swatters
that Eddie Collins, half In Jeat nnd
half In earnest, remarked to me one
dny Inst summer:
"Now that I ntn nearly through
ns an lnfielder. I only wish 1 threw
left handed. I would start pitch
ing and stick around for about 10
more years."
The White Fox had been beaten
that afternoon by a southpaw, who
tn the language of the ball field Is
‘regarded as a "nothing pitcher.”
By way of explanation, n “noth
ing pitcher" to the diamond athle
tes is a twirier who has nothing
to fool the batter, Just nice speed
to hit amt an easy curve to follow.
However, In these days of the
lively ball the “nothing pltfcher" t*
quite successful.
SOUTHPAWS JOLT
GIANTS
No one would ever accuse South
pawa Zachary anil Mogridge of
Washington of having tho stuff of
■■Rube” Waddell, yet they stood the
Giants on their heads in the recent
world series. After Walter Johnson,
with a word of stuff, had fulled.
The supremacy of tho southpaw
In pitching circles has caused the
major league magnates to comb the
country for likely malerlnl.
Just ns the season closed Wash
ington announced that If had pur
chased tho veteran Venn Gregg
from Henttl# of the Pacific Coast
Longue.
Ten years ngo Gregg was one of
the outstanding pitchers In the ma
jor*. In sheer nhlltty he Is one of
the few southpaws I have ever um
pired who compared with the fam
ous Rub* Waddell.
SENSATIONAL
COMEBACK
An Injury robbed Gregg of much
of hi* slufT. he slipped to the
minor* for a few years then retired
from hasehall. Now at an sge
close to the forty murk, he I* doing
a sensational comeback.
At the close of the world aeries
Connie Mack of tho Athletic* broke
Into print In big headlines with the
announcement that he had pur
chased Pitcher Grove* of ltaltlmore
for a tribe more than 1100,000 and
a few German mark*.
In Groves. Mack gel* the minor
league pitching sensation of the last
two yeara. Every major league
club ha* been sngiing for hi* ser
vice*. Big figures have ben offer
ed Jack l’nnn for Ul* prize left
bander. Evidently Connie Mack
must have made a flattering pro
position «o the Baltimore magnate.
Groves has had two phenomenal
yeara at Baltimore. His great
work figured largely In the win
ning of the last two pennanla.
GROVES, STRIKEOUT
KING
He la the strikeout king of the
league. In 1923 he established a
record for the International by
whiffing 330 men In 803 innings, an
average of belter than on* an In
ning. Some pitching, believe me
Grove*' greatest fault I* hta wild- .
ness. It may be a bigger handicap 1
than ever In the major*, where a i
pitcher Inclined to he wild la waited I
out much more than In the minors.
If Grove* 1* 73 per cent efficient
for Mack, h# will have repaid Con
nie for the generou* money outlay.
Should Groves prove a consistent
winner, beware the Athletic*.

It’s a Great Day For Bald-Heads Along
Broadway; Ten Revues on Boards
NEW YORK— Something must
be done about it. The Amalgamated
Order of Tired but Bald-Headed
Business Men has captured Broad
way. They've hypnotized the pro
ducers. They’ve being catered to.
No fewer than ten, big expen
sive spectacular revues now are .‘a
the boards. And this does not in
clude Chariot’s Revue which is new
taking to the road. Nor does it in
clude a young army of musical
comedies which are not pretentions
enough to be worthy of the name
"revue.”
The latest to Join the ranks is
Hassard Short’s "Ritz Revue.” One
might say it is last, but not least.
It is a complete spectacle, with high
calibered performers, witty lines,
catchy tunes, spectacular setting
and beautiful girls.
Ziegeld Follies, Passing Show of
1924, Greenwich Village Follies,
Scandals. Vanities, Grand Street
Follies, Kid Boots, Artists and Mo
dels, Music Box, and Ritz Revue.
The difference between a “revue”
and a ‘‘musical comedy” is con
siderable. A normal week’s gross re
ceipts for the “Follies" is $524,000.
The average weekly bix office re
ceipts of an ordinary musical apm
edy is SIO,OOO.
Hassard Short in his "Ritz Re
vue" has accomplished that thing
that all producers strive for, but
seldom attain. That is a warmth of
feeling, a tie of friendship between
audience and stage. The Tired but
Bald-Headed Business Man knows
that $54.40 has been eased from his
pocket, but he doesn’t mind It. He
gets the same pleasure as he would
at a big house party. He feels at
home.
And small wonder. The cast in
clude j Charlotte Greenwood, Ray
mond Hitchcock, Myrtle Schaaf.
Flora Le Breton, (above) English
girl, will make her debut on Broad
way in a Savage play, “Lass o’
Laughter,” Miss l,e Breton is a fa
vorite on the English stage and in
the movies over there.
Madeleine Fairbanks (one of the
twins), Leila Ricard. Stanlty Rog
ers, Jay Brennan, Eddie Conrad,
Tom Burke, IVilliam Ladd and a
young and beautiful girl named
Jackie Hurlbert.
There isn’t a show on Broadway
that can best that cast. And no
show can even tie it for quality of
singing voices.
So by all means, put the “Ritz
Revue” on your list when you next
take a trip to lil ole N’Yawk. You’ll
thank us for the tip.
The Greenwich Village Follies
opened this week. too. It isn’t pos
sible to give it as high praise as
the “Ritz.” Something was wrong
with the first and second night per
formances, which probably will be
ironed out later.
There is too much dancing.) and
not quite enough humor. The danc
ing is of a high order and what
humor there is, is worth laughing
at. But the two are not properly
mixed.
You can’t.well go wrong at this
revue either, though. For with the
Dolly Sisters, Vincent Lopez's
band and that inimitable pair of
black faced comedians, Moran and
Mack, in the 'cast—there could

hardly be room for criticism. So
put that on your list. too.
Others to open this week were:
“Schemers.” by Dr. William Irv
ing Sirovicli; and “Izzy,” a play
based op the movie adventures of
Izzy Iskoviteh, central character in
the stories of George Randolph and
Lillian Chester.
Everybody is looking forward to
Billie Burke’s re-appearance on the
New York stage in “Annabelle," a
musical comedy which her husband,
Flo Ziegfeld, will open a long east,
including such names as Ernest
Truex, May Vokes and Bobby Wat
son.
Next week “Abbie’s Irish Rose.”
will have passed its I,oooth. per
formance in New York City. Chly
one other play—"Lightin’ ” —has a
better record. *
“Able” became a success without
the help of New York dramatic
critics. They panned it with vim
and vigor when it opened which
proves nothing at all.
