Texas League Notes and Gossip


San Antonio, Tex. June 23.-Vic Mil
Ter. the fast twirler of the Waco team,
may get a chance in fast league COM
pany this year If a deal now pending
between that team and Cleveland is
pulled off. Bobby Gilks, scout for
Cleveland. has been watching Miller's
work and is convinced he is ripe for
the big league. 1t is hardly probable
Waco will part with him before the
close Of the season as his services are
too valuable.
George Jackson, formerly with Dali
las and native Texan. who is now
playing with Memphis of the Southern
league, will probably be sold to Cleve-
land for fall delivery. He is playing a
fast game in the Southern league.
around the 800 mark. As he is a hot
weather player, his batting average al
ways begins to fatten as the summer
comes on and he will probably close
the league with an average of consid-
erably over 1926. Cleveland is particu-
larly partial to the name of Jackson
since they picked up the greatest bat
ting wonder of years in Joe Jackson,
who came from the New Orleans team
of the Southern league.
Borleski, a catcher from the Uni
versity of Michigan. has joined the
Dallas team. He is big and husky. and

American association, that he was
picked by Pittsburg. will probably be
sent back to that association He
played fine ball all last year. but is

him so fierce1y that be got mad and
quit the game.
Campbell the Ann Arbor pitcher.
Joined Dallas today. In seven innings
Campbell shut out the Princeton play

relieved another pitcher. Inasmuch as
Princeton won the college honors by
defeating Yale he must have been
pitching some to make that record
against the eastern college boys.
The way Toner is going is a pride

runner on third base, of course, had
held his positions and when he saw
Sheck mixed up with the crowd he
started for the plate. SheckaTd
leaped clear of the crowd and tsok
long swing with his arm and cut
loose the ball. But instead Of throw
ing to the plate he changed the direc-
tion of the throw while his arm was
swinging and shot the ball on the line
fast and straight into Steinfeldt's
hands. Doyle had seen Sheckard's
arm swing and was fooled into be-
lieving that he was throwing to the
plate, 80 he came sprinting to third
and Steinfeldt met him and tagged
him out, Of course letting the runner
score from third. Sheckard had fg-
ured IN fraction of an instant that
he could not get clear of the crowd IN
time to catch the runner at the plate,
and that If he threw there Doyle
could trot to third and probably score
on a fly or hit, whereas If he caught
Doyle and let the other run count the
bases would be cleared with two out
and Chicago still one run ahead.
So, pretending and going through
every motion of throwing to the plate,
he shot to third-and saved the game.
After Doyle was caught the next two
batters made hits, and If Sheckard
really had thrown home New York
would have made perhaps five runs in
that inning, and would have won the
game easily.
So perfect was Sheckard's acting in
pretending to throw home that both

Sckaefer that robbed US of the open
ing game of the first worlds series

but Jimmy Sheckard made the play

saw, and one perhaps l never will see
again
At that. it wasn't a SNOWY play, and

what q wonderful piece of playing it
was. He did it so easily that to most
Of the spectators it looked as If the
runner had Numbered, and they did
not give Sheck credit for his work.
The play happened in one of the
games against New York in 1903,
when we were fighting them all
through the season for the lead and
the pennant. 1t was on the Chicago
grounds, and believe during the June
series We were ahead-two runs in
the lead, think, and the game was
nearing an end, when a single and
Doyle's two-bagger put men on second
and third with no one out, and it
looked pretty bad. The crowd was
on the field, and near the stand In left

that long fly was likely to drop In
there any minute and turn the whole
game upside down. The batter, Sey-
mour, think it was, hit hard line

Sheckard was playing the batter
perfectly, and by q hard sprint he

ball but plunged On into the crowd

hand glove Then she saw that in or
