Good Pitching Defies Size in Baseball History
NEA Sports Editor Harry Grayson notes that while oversized pitchers like Ralph Siewert grab headlines, history shows elite hurlers rarely rise above 6-5. Tall arms often lack control, with many towering hopefuls failing to master the plate, as managers prefer balance over mere length.

Athletics Rout Bombers In Six Innings Exhibition
Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics crushed the Martin Bombers 20 to 0 in a six and a half inning exhibition at Mc Curdy Field. The revamped lineup with Irv Hall moving to second and Jojo White leading off paid off as the A's batted around in the second and fourth frames, aided by Bombers errors and timely hits from Siebert and Hayes. Hustlers scouts watched, while Coast Guard plans for Sunday loomed and several local scouts circulated autograph scorecards amid cold winds and shivering spectators.
