SLAGPILE NOTES

Concerning young Jim Dygert, formerly the premier slabman of the Southern league, on the New Orleans staff, but who recently made his debut with the Philadelphia Americans and lost the only two games he pitched, the Sporting Life has the following to say:
 James H. Dygert, the young New Or leans pitcher of the Athletics, did not duplicate in his debut at home the sensa- tional entree he made at Boston. He was tried twice here and twice fell down, not withstanding the manifest sympathy of the big crowds which gave him all pos sible encouragement. In his game against New York he let seemingly certain vic- tory escape him in one inning when he lost control and failed to heed his catch CTS advice. He also lost his game against the Bostons through a mental lapse in the last inning, when he chose to put out runner at first base instead of get ting a man at third, thus enabling the later to score the winning run on an unexpected dinlky safe hit by Pitcher Hughes. In this game, however, Dygert did not receive the batting support he had a right to expect from such team as the Athletics, four hits being the total of their batting. Notwithstanding these defeats Dygert has shown that he will doubtless become a fixture on the Attn
 etlc pitching corps, as he has all the
 requisites for success-strong free mo-
 ton, good speed and curves, excellent
 command of the spit ball. He Is, more ! over, fast and accurate In fielding his po-
 stion and appears to be a fair batsman.
 Under Manager Mack's tutoring we full | ly believe young Dygert will make good
 and be a regular next season."
