Every indication pointed today to inevitable reinstatement of George Sisler, greatest hitter in baseball three years ago, to rank of first five batters in American League in impending season. Sisler, vice time of defective sight at this time last year, is smiling any and all kinds of pitching with about don and business end of baseball bat. Lynx-eyed observers declare him Sisler of old. The gentleman himself says he is facing pitcher with more confidence than at any time since 1922 when he compiled rather natty averages of 420 over a full season on play, the high-water mark of modern baseball. He thinks he is due to come back like a bad check. For one thing, Sisler is taking his full, clean swing. In 1922 he was chopping and pushing his hits, if any. Low, ringing drives are shooting thru infield and his shoulder are snapping into smash in a way calculated to show self-confidence such as Cobb, Speaker, Sisler himself self and, in fact, only great hits have possessed. Deep down under skin, Sisler beams to know he is back where he belongs. But he will make an immoderate claim. The story circulated he had befitted a suit of clothes he would hit 450 or better this season, he characterize a joke. Sisler is making no claim whatever. He merely admits his sight has so far improved this season that they seem to be throwing bigger and better baseballs. "I feel better than at any time since 1922," he declared. "When I stepped up there for the first time a week ago, I admit that I felt a bit worried as to how the ball would look. I've lost all that now. There is nothing so conspiring as feeling of a solid hit on..." she has never before been seen. This beautiful star portrays the character of Bebe, an entertainer in a safe or, better dance hall, known as "Red." Bishop's and she brings to the part a humanness and symathetic appeal which will carry home to the most blase picture-goers.

Sisler is making no claim whatever. He merely admits he sight has so far improved this season that they seem to be throwing bigger and better baseballs. "I feel better than at any time since 1922," he declared. "When I stepped up there for the first time a week ago, I admit that felt a bit worried as to how the ball would look. I've lost all that now. There is nothing so common forcing as feeling of a solid hit on your bat, and I seem to be getting a lot now. "Of course the pitching in batting practice is not what I will get in regular season or even kind. Will face it consistently when I right and taking everything in consideration, I feel good now as I ever did." This statement is not exact calculated to cause consternation in St. Louis. There is a baseball axiom to the effect that as Sisler goes, so goes the Brownns. It just about counts a bull's eye from very different angle. When Sisler ran amuck in 1922 Brownns were beaten out of position by scant half game. Sisler then was taken ill as result which he became partly blind and played. no baseball in 1921 Whereupon the Brownns did graceful flop. He returned game last season and hit bare .30 Brownns never were a serious contender. Yet, on both occasion except for Sisler's infirmity, they were virtually the same club thrashed the Yankees right into fire in 1922. It would do baseball no particular harm if both Sisler and Brownns collaborated in simultaneous come-back.
