AL Handiboe May Go to
the Big Show Next Spring
Star of Savannah Club of the South Atlantic League
Likely to be Drafted by Cleveland.

Al Handiboe, premier outhelder Of the
District and late OF the Savannah club.
OF the South Atlantic League. is slated
for trial with the Cleveland club next
spring.
Bill Kennedy, scout for the Maps,
looked Al over while the Savannah club
was in Jacksonville. and Manager Biz
mingham will put in draft for him.
Al put I'D a great game for the In
dams. hitting the ball on the nose and
setting the league on fire with his fast
work on the sacks. He is one OF the
neatest fielders ever turned out of the
District.
Johnny Beall is another product Of thu
local sand lots. who will receive a trial
in the big show next season. Accord
ing TO the Denver Star. Johnny goes to
ne White Sox. and Manager Callahan
is quoted as saying that Beall will hold
down right field.
Yesterdays game at Independence
League Park between the An-Stars and
the Pepco club was well worth seeing.
Dutch Sterzer did the hurting for the
Stars, and pitched a clever game. while
Dick Robertson came back with but
for Pepco.
Robertson will be seen in the box for
the All-Stars Sunday against the Relay
(Md) team, at Independence League
Park. at $3.50 o'clock. This game should
prove interesting, as O'Br!en, a member
OF the Macon hurting staff. VIII be in
the box for the Relay club.
Tomorrow another good game will be
staged at Independence League Park,
when the Rockville (Md) club meets the
All-Stars. Phil Buscher will more than
likely work for the Stars, with Joe Geibel
behind the bat The game will start at
4:30 o'clock.
Several members of the Pepco club
were taught a little something about
hanging around first base yesterday.
Sterzer, who was on the mound for the
Stars, caught no less than three Grab
bers napping-Myers, Green, and Morris.
Green was caught hat-footed, but Mac
donald's poor throw to Rawlings allowed
him to get back to the base in safety.
Myers and Morris were not SO fortunate.
however. They were easy outs.
Should a left-hander work for the Bat
tie Axe club tomorrow in Richmond he
will get all that Is coming to him, as
the Grabbers have been hitting left
handlers in the last two games, and
southpaws should prove easy. Schultz
and Sterzer are not the kind of pitchers
found in the amateur ranks, and that
the Grabbers succeeded in hitting this
pair speaks well for their stickwork.
But should a southpaw work for the
Axes tomorrow II is a ten-to-one bet
that the Grabbers will stick to the sacks.
Dick Robertson is about as finished a
twirler as has been seen on a local dia-
mond this year. In yesterdays game,
with but a days rest, Dick went into
the box and pitched clever game, not
that he is a spitball hurler.
Dick may go up next year, but unless
he does there is I chance for him to
in town. 1t was learned yester-
day that a position is open for him at the
Potomac Electric Power Company, and
should Dick decide to stay the 1913 anna
teur championship might Just as well be
handed to the Grabbers now, for with
him and Ted Sullivan doing the hurting
and the present team in the field. the
race is over now.
