So there you are.
Wainwright, who was released yes
terday afternoon was ordered later tc
report at once. Manhattan said h.
wasn't worth the money there. Vice,
another Ruston, La. college player,
who reported to Manhattan, is to be
released. Howell, the big pitcher, was
takel- on the trip and may be entered
into the contests before the Kaws re-
turn. He hasn't worked yet, not be-
ing in shape. Perhaps warm weather
will help him round to, but it is not
believed that anything else will make
this possible. Maybe the warm weather
will not.

Persistent reports come from Boston
that the youngster, who last fall was
touted as the most wonderful pitching
phenom ever uncovered, is to be re-
turned to Denver, writes Dan McCarty.
Just. as regularly as Ty Cobb and
Larry Laioie and some of the other
standby athletes CLEAN their 300 aver

smashing their way into the big
leagues. Some. stay. Most of them
however, quietly drop out of sight
When he first came marching into
the camp of the big leaguers, O'Brien
was welcomed with a lot of the TOM
tom stuff. He made an ostentatious
debut and everything went swimming
ly. That, though, was last year. Now
they've stopped printing his name in
the headlines. He has gone-or is 60
ing-the way so many have come an6
gone before.
Ty Cobb, who knows something about
pitchers and their ability, called
O'Brien one of the greatest pitchers he
ever faced.
Lajoie ranked him Just about as
high.
He has the most wicked splitter
ever saw" the F'renchman said.
But his briIliance has faded now and
he's about to slip back. And there you
are.
1t isn't anything new for a major
league magnate to be treated to dis
appointments like this. They don't
have to be pitchers either. The Yam

Bert Daniels couple of years ago.

Gently was authoritatively reported
that the Yanks have asked waivers on

third baseman last season named Nor
gan. He was called a star and for a

Foster. Boston paid $1,000 last yea1
for a kid pitcher in the Northwestern

started the season in great shape, and

fore the season was half gone, though
Strand had fzzled out. He never even

an effort to get ready for everything
that comes up in the most difficult of
sunfields in this league. He is worried
over his batting slump but will return
to hitting form. He isn't striking at
bad ones, but drives the ball straight
to someone every time he smashes at
it. The infield just now looks like it
would do. Dulin isn't setting the world
afire, but is overweight and will get
down to it. He is a hard worker, goes
after everything and will get his share.
