Lanky Southpaw Goes to A. A. Lead
ers For Another Year of Neces-
sary Seasoning.

Tiller Pug Cavet Is no longer a
member OF the Detroit club. The
tall left-hander was released Tuesday
morning TO the Minneapolis club OF
the American Association. which. in
the hands OF Joe Cantillon, is making
a runaway race In that organization.
AT Minneapolis II is believed that
Cavet will secure experience which
will complete his education for the

W. JOHNSON MISLAYS
SPEED; LOSING WEIGHT
washington star.)

II IL noticeable that Walter
Johnson has not the speed this
spring that made him the mar
velous pitcher in former cam
paigns. AS a result strike-outs
are not as numerous, and his
whole style Of pitching has been
changed. Where Johnson would
not pitch more than two or
three curve balls during
game when he was at his best,
he is curving almost every
other one now, besides resort
ing to a change OF pace fire.
quently. But that speed with
which the ball fairly hoped
over the plate Is sadly missing,
aud until II returns Johnson
will not go through ball games
as he did in former seasons.
There il nothing wrong with
Johnson's arm. II Is perfectly
sound and probably stronger
than ever, but his physical con-
dition is poor. On the recent
trip ne lost 10 pounds In weight,
and the natural effect Of this Is
that he is weak. He Is on the
mend now, however. and should
gradually improve.

story OF Little Memo" Leibold OF the
Milwaukee team
For the past three years. Leibold,
who is now 10. has been playing In
the Detroit trolley league until dis
covered by Jimmy Barrett. the ex'
Tiger. This season he was taken on
the spring trip of the Brewers and
already he has set the fans OF the
circuit talking by his wonderful work.
Leibold Is natural ball player and
his hitting has been timely, while his
fielding is OF the sensational order.
Twice this season he has figured In
ninth-inninG rallies, batting in the
winning run.
This little san6lotter can bat both
left and right-handed and can also
throw with either hand.

bilities IL IS noticeable that two other
Tigers, Lathers and Lahtte, are un'

the former with bad ankle and the
latter with a bad case OF stomach

Lathers has been particularly I'M
fortunate with his ankle. The MICH
gan boy would have stood an excel-
lent chance OF getting chance In the
game during Gainors disability, as
he is naturally next in line, provided
further casualties take place. Pracu-
cally the same thing happened year
ago, Lathers springing an injury on
the very eve OF a chance OF similar
character. The former collegian
friends are particularly disappointed
right now as II seems TO be fate that

It is in such emergencies as the

TO utility roles and Is in danger or be-
