can be depended on. Brett will do the UNI
piring stunt next season, and very proba-
bly, right here in this league. Ths Grand
Old Man. as those fish eaters down In
New Orleans call him. Is about to check
In on the diamond. Brett has been one
great figure in the base ball world In his
day. but the end must come to the best
of them. Frank is liable to turn Brett
loose even before the pr sent season
closes. Brett, as well as being one Of the
sIowest pitchers in the league. has been
one OF the best. When Frank loses Brett
he will lose not only a pitcher. but a
man who has been silent help to the
New Orleans club. Brett has helped
Frank in more ways than winning games
for him.
