N0LYERTON MAKES THIRD
HOMER IN LESS THAN WEEK

Battle Tigers Tackle Royals Today.

Big league scouts galore arc en- route
Montreal today to get a glimpse at
1 lnager Wolverton, of the Tigers, and
%Iertain if he is the same Harry who
Cd tered third base for the Phillies not
so smany years ago. He certainly is,
and why he was ever allowed to travel
out of the big show and into the Tri-

of the baseball globe to the other. He
&gain demonstrated yesterday hat he
is a baseball player every inch of him.
If you desire any further proof ask
Joe Kelley, the veteran who led the

Well, let's talk about something else
besides that great twirling, for Harry
5 does not put in any claim that he is
some pitcher, but we know he is. Can
you find a better third sacker. and
{ where can you get a better hitter?
= Wasn't he there with a homer and a
triple yesterday? Didn't he SEND the
ball into the lake a few days ago; and,
to be sure, he made d homer less than
- week ago. Can some of the big
~leaguers equal that? Not by a long
shot.
Lest we forget, didn't this same genial
Harry go behind the bat in the morning
/. game or Memorial Day with Jersey City
when L.app was injured and Crisp on the
injured list also? Didn't he show some
!. s.ciass as Il backstop? He sure did, and
hence the speedy departure to Canada of

Joe and McGraw are great friends. and
the Giants need a utility player and a
