MEYERS PAIR MAKE

scrappy Giants Leader Speaks Well Of
New Man-SIoan's Opinion.

| (By Alec Sloan OF st. Paul News)
| Argenta, Ark, April 4.-Benny Mey
ers and Big Indian Jack Meyers both
hustled of TO the hotel where the
| Saints are stopping upon their arrival
here with McGraw's New York Giants
today
Here is what "Muggsy" McGraw of the

! asked him how they were getting along
today:

McGraw meant every word he said
and from the way the other players
talked about the Meyers pair they
surely have been stirring things up
down in Texas
However, despite what McGraw has
said about both of them l can't see
where they are wonders.
l always liked Benny Meyers play
ing better than big Jacks, and he may
stay up In fast company. but wait till
the big league pitchers begin to throw
Indian Jack those fast curves and
then McGraw may change his mind
about Jack being the greatest young
hitter that ever broke into fast COM
pany.
The fans will remember how big
Jack was boosted" last spring. what
a wonderful hitter and thrower he was.
but when things began to break bad

members Of the team.
At that he may stay with McGraw,

YOUNG HIGH FLYER

Salt Lake, April 5-Where is Rob-

other cities are wondering where they
can lay their hands upon him. He is

He sought and secured position on
local newspaper, but after a couple or
months developed the Idea that he was
neither fitted for newspaper work, nor
was newspaper work suited TO him. Ar
riving at this conclusion. he left the
business, stating that he had little
scheme which would make him MIL
lionaire within few years. He worked
his scheme, much to the sincere regret
of numerous Salt Lake residents, and
after playing it to the limit, and
realizing that ne had reached the end
of his rope, he suddenly decamPed,
and has neither been seen nor heard
from since This was about two months
AGO He left behind him lerge-sized
bundle of unpaid bills and worthless
checks upon which he had realized
considerable sum Of money, and
wife. a bride OF only few months
whom he deserted He did not even
leave her one cent OF money, but he
did leave her In a position where. un-
less she took immediate action, she
would have bill of Sis contracted by
him to pay, or else be minus her

neighborhood of SO 600 in this city, and
there seems TO be absolutely no chance
OF any of this money ever being paid
back.
