At Cincinnati Kller made a strike out record for world series baseball .and was' otherwise liiuhi\ successful. (luring the winter the pitching rules -were -changed ? and Eller, no longer able to rub - the ball on his Manuel knickerbockers, lost his "iliine." One evening he sat in his hotel in NVw York, the picture ? and the pit-her ? of misery. "I can't make it hop." he said. "I'm about ready to give up. but some day may be I'll go after it to get back. ? My arm feels <ill right but the ball won't work right." Kller pitched his way around the b!ue grass country in 19.23; trying out new'' wrinkles with which he hadn't been familiar in his C'incin n- .J days. He is booked to try again ilils spring/ and ho is going back with a 111:1.1:1: "i* who will si vo him all the chance he a.->ks ? Donie Husn of In diana] nliv.- lie still has the speed, i.

When Kller was pitching tor the Mount Sterling Club in the Uluo Un.ss League, he took in hand a kid pitcher named John Groys GrossT was a likely pupil lie is reported to have pitched three no hit games in the Ulue Grass League. The Giants heard about him and signed him. Then they decided to put him out f<*r. a little more training ? with Indianapolis. So Klier and Gross, who were the l?ig factors in t lie success of the Mount Sterling Club in 1923 are to gether ill 1924 and are goiug ?o try to burn up the American Associa tion Should they prove a winning pair It i- safe enough wager that they can't keep out o-f major league bali in 192.".
