Pitcher Dixie Walkers teammates are
of the opinion that he needs an official
keeper to see that he husbands his
strength until 1t is actually needed to
win fight. McAleer's men say that
Walker works as hard in practice as
does an ordinary player in game. Often
the result of this extraordinary ambition
is a WEAKNESS that begins to assert it,
self in the fourth or fifth inning. Man
ager McAleer says that in the future
a player will be assigned to keep an
eye on Dixie to see that he does not
touch a ball until few minutes before
game starts.
