bEA[L IS PLAYING
WELL FOR DENVER
Former Technical High Boy
Has Hit 1856 SO Far
This Season.

Johnnie BealI, the former Technical
High School player, has been putting up
a wonderful game in the Western League
this year. Beall is with the Denver club
and has been playing such good ball. it is
reported. that several big league clubs
have put in bids for him, and 1t is nearly
certain. that he will get another chance
in the majors next spring.
Beal has been playing the game Of his
life this season. In all his base ball ca
reer the former Tech boy has never done
such fine work as has characterized his
play this summer. At bat, in the field
and on the bases he has performed up
to a higher standard than ever before
Up until last week Beall has been at
bat 3SS times, and out of that many trips
to the plate has scored ninety-two runs
and batted for a percentage OF $50. There
was one week when he hit the ball ex-
ceptionally hard, having an average Of
.616.
Ii Beal keeps up his record made SO
far this season there is no reason why
lie should not make good with big
league club. Many a man has been
brought up on much worse performances
than that.
