STAR ARMY PITCHER
Beavers Lured From Philip
pines by Love of Game.
JOINS NEW YORK YANKEES
Expects to Play Professional Ball
During Five Months Furlough.
Won't Quit Service.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Everybody who
in recent years attended the foot ball
games between West Point and Yale, the
Army team and the MILDLY team. the sons
of John Harvard and the boys of Uncle
Sam. will remember big Cadet Beavers
and the manner in which he used to hurl
his beef and Drawn into the opposing line.
Beavers played right halfback on the Army
eleven. and at the time it was said of him
that no two players in an opposing team
could bring him to earth once he got a
clear start toward the opposing goal with
the pigskin tucked under his arm.
After young Beavers left West Point
with second lieutenant's commission he
was sent to the Philippines with his regi-
ment. That was about four years ago
After short time in the tropics, spent in
getting acclimated, Lieut.. Beavers felt
the old love for athletics returning. 1t
was too warm for foot ball down there,
where the hot winds drift lazilv through
the palms and the thermometer hovers
around the ninety -five-degree mark
But there was base ball, and Lieut..
Beavers had shone on the diamond al
most as conspcuously as lie had on the
gridiron while at West Point.
1t was but natural therefore. that the
young army officer should organize
team from among the members Of his
regiment. With Beavers on the pitching
mound it was not long before his team
was the best in the Philippines Recently
Lieut. Beavers obtained five months
leave of absence He and his young wife

man.

man on the doorstep

but the abrupt way in which he said it
| and the clean-cut appearance Of the
| stranger struck Wolverton's fancy. He
| asked him many questions. and the
bronzed, lean-faced young fellow answer

him-and as frankly. He said he was
Lieut.. George w. Beavers. jr.. of the
| United States Army, and was on FIVE
months leave Of absence.
AS soon Beavers mentioned his
name Wolverton was satisfied He
keeps a keen eye on the collegiate and
service base ball players. and he re-
membered Beavers record.
I'll give you chance he said. Get
into uniform and come out on the
field
Beavers did just that. Before the game
with the Chicago team he practiced with
the Yankees. None there knew who the
tall recruit was except the other play
ers. He reported again yesterday, and
will continue to do so until Wolverton
decides upon his availa bility.
