CLARENCE WALKER TO MAKE
HIS DEBUT IN LEFT TODAY
Spartanburg Youngster to + axe Jack Lelivelt's s
Place in Initial Game Against
White Sox.


The disguised look which Bill gave the
umpire would lead to the belief that the
third strike was not over. but the chance s
are that Bill was only fooled by Young 3
clever pitching.
Jimmy Callahan. the White Sox center
fielder, has astounded New York fans by
his Wonderful playing. The fact tha.
Cal. was out Of organized base bail for
several years does not seem to have af-
fected his playing in the least and he Is
both fielding and hitting as we'll as ever.
When it comes to finishing ball games
or stopping rallies OF the opposing team.
Tom Hughes appears TO- be in a class by
himself Yesterday after the Maps had
been hitting everything that Groom dish
ed up Hughes went into the game and
stopped the hitting. not another run being
sions this year when Hughes has stopped
the other fellows from. hitting when they
were finding other members of the pitch
ing staff at will.
Considering the fact that the position
is virtually new to him. Schaefer con-
tinues to play splendid game at the
first bag. He fields the position as well
as any man who has played II for the
locals this season, and he is much more
valuable at the bat, for he is constantly
on the bases. and incidentally hitting well
in the pinches.
John Somerlot has been returned to the
Terre Haute club of the Central League.
Long John was not cut out for ma jcr
league company. He could field and was
intelligent. but when 1t came to- hitting
he did not have much on Bob Groom
Joe Birmingham seems to. have inn
proved his hitting considerably since his
last appearance here. Joe formerly was
the ca siest kind Of a. mark for local pitch
ers. but in the series just closed he hit
safely seven times and drove in most of
the Maps runs.
The White Sox lineup may undergo
some changes today. Corban. the sensa-
tional little shortstop. is out of the game
as a result of being hit by Russell Ford.
and Collins. who has been playing first,
is also injured. Manager Duffy expects
Mullen, anither first baseman, and McCon-
nell to report here today, the latter il he
is fit to play. If this pair should not
show up Dock White will be played at
first. while Zeider will probably play at
second
What little hitting the Nationals did at
the expense OF Cy Young came in the
first inning, but they failed to score after
that Groom was pounded from the out
set. and retired in the fifth. when Hughes
took up the running and stopped the

TODAY'S GAME.

IODA - GAME.
Kendall VS.. st. Paul. at North Capitol and
V streets NV. Came called at 5:45.
Manhattan defeated Waverley, II to g.
in an exciting contest. The losers put up
a stronger front at the bat than they
have ever exhibited this season, landing
on Tew for fifteen hits in the eight in
nings but the errors made by the Wav-
erley infield lost the game.
Lefty Madigan pitched a good game
for the losers. holding the hard-hitting
Manhattan nine to eight hits, although he
was little wild. passing three and heav-
ing wild twice.
Three of the Waverley men found Tew
for three hits. Baker got triple and
two singles and Handiboe and Madigan
got a double and two singles each.
Dove Mckee, the former Twinng play
er. performed in center field for the los
ers and felded his position in old-time
form. getting three difficult chances. At
the bat the former star was somewhat
weak, getting but one hit In four trips
to the plate during the smuggling match.
One Of the largest crowds OF the year
to be roofing for Waverley. hoping that
it might beat the leaders. and it would
have had it not been for errors.
Fegan, the little Manhattan catcher,
got only one hit. but that was a double.
1t seems that nearly all Of Fegans hits
go for two sacks.
Madigan had Reggie Rawlings in a
trance. holding the hard-hitting outfielder
to zero in the hit column. The way
Reggie" has hit the ball in the few
games he has played with Manhattan it
seemed as though that was an impossi-
biiity.
Pete Lynch certainly was there with
the stick, getting three hits out OF three
times at bat. Lynchs hits were most
timely, sending Donnelly across the plate
several times
Scott Dampier played a good game at
first for the winners, saving his team
mates several wild throws by getting
them out of the dust Although playing
a great fielding game, Scott Is failing to
show anything with the stick.
