From the Joplin Herald. Harry
Eels, formerly of the Joplin Western
association baseball team. who finished
the latter part of last season with the
Kansas City Blues, is fast becoming
the pitching wonder of the American
league. He was picked up by the
Cleveland team and given his first real
chance to distinguish himself a few
days ago against the champion Athlet-
les. The game was al Philadelphia and
the Athletics were on a great winning
streak. Eels went in against them an
unknown, let them down with two hits
and came out of the game the wonder
of the American league Friday Cap
tain Lajoie decided that he would try
Eels once again to see if he was really
pitcher. At Washington he pitched
against StahTs aggregation and shut
them out with only Eve hits. These two
feats, that of letting the Athletics down
with two hits and then shutting out
the Washington team with five hits, as
sure him a berth in the big league for
the rest of the season. Joplin fans are
rejoicing in Eels' triumph. When he

practically an unknown He was very
wild, but gradually improved under the
coaching of Tony Vanderbilt. About
the middle of the season, when the Jop-
lin team became disrupted. Eels was
winning with regularity for Joplin and

however, was noticeable and he was

Lefty Boyle. the young Allegheny
southpaw pitcher who was with Niles
last season, tells a good story on a
basel ball team that was supposed to be
composed of girls. "This bunch of
fairies blew into Niles one day last
summer and Charlie Grove selected
me to pitch against them" says
Lefty
thought I would have it easy and be
gan to lob the ball up to the plate,
and they began to shoot them back
to the outfelders. For a while
thought the outielders would run
themselves bowlegged. The climax
was capped when one of the darlings
slammed the ball over the right field
fence with as much velocity as though
it was hit by a mill hand.

was verified when I overh eard one of
