SANITY MIGHT HAVE DROPPED CATCHER

The "old gent" dropped in enough to-
bacco on "Old Scout" to last Sutton q
whole year. 1t came in the form of
cigars, jars and packages. Larry's
room looks like tobacco storehouse,
they say.
Sammy Lichtenhen has an ex-
cellent chance to square accounts
with Providence. Some two seasons
ago the Chicago Club, of the Ma
tional League. drafted Jimmy Laven-
der, the Providence pitcher, with the
exclusive intention of turning Law
ender over to Montreal as part of a
player deal. Providence exercised it's
right OF recall and objected so siren
uously to the transaction that Law
ender was held by the Cubs and
Sammy Lichtenhein did not get his
price. Now the Detroit Club has
drafted Ray Demmitt from Montreal,
and Bill Donovan is casting longing
eyes in the direction of DETROIT All
Iichtenhein has to do is block the
deal by recaliming Demmitt in case
he is sent back to the minors and
accounts will then be squared up.

Lean, Va, wishing all of his friends
the compliments OF the season. Jack

solving the Evening Star proverb ouz-
zles. Jack has visions of winning the

Harry Sandager, Providence
scribe, chimes in with the prediction
made recently that Jack Enzmann
would be the International lie ,gIfs
top notch twirler next season. If
SANDY" were running the Grays he
would probably give half of tine team
t. get Enzmann in a Providence uni
form.
Arthur Bues, the Skeeter third
sacker, is the hero of n recent romance
according to rumor. Bues had to do a
Romeo" to get the girl of his heart.
The pair eloped in the Silly night
via automobile but there was no
moving-picture camera man around,
and Arthur says it "ain't So" Any
how, Art will have to stand for a LOT
of teasing on the Shelters training
trip. They say that Bues was not
consistent in his work last summer
because he was worrying about love
affairs and a stern old dad (who is
not a baseball fam said he wouldn't
have common ball player" in his
family Bues pulled delayed
stealp and the old man woke up too
late to tag Bues out.

A New York writer, perhaps the
same one who said Newark lost the
pennant when Ebbets took MeCarty,
Collins and Aitchison, now swats one
over the fence for a clean homer. He
tells his readers that Jimmy Eschen,
the new Yank outfielder recruit, halls
from the international League cham
pions." Well give him the benefit of
the doubt and allow that the proof
reader and the typesetter left out
cellar" as a prefix To champions"
Eschen was with the Skeeters last
year. according to all available
records.
