BERTH WITH CUBS
OPEN TO OVERALL
Evers Writes Pitcher and
Expects Him to Join the
Team.

If big jeff" Overall can hurl a base
ball over the plate he did four years
ago the Cubs pitching staff may still
be the equal of any in the National
league. 1t was learned yesterday that
Manager Evers has written the big
Californian and expects him to join the
west side team once more after his re-
tirement from baseball for two years.
Evers arrived from Troy in the
morning and admitted he has been try
ing to land Big Jeff" because he be-
lieves the gigantic hurler can come
back and pitch the same brand of base
ball as he did when the Cubs captured
pennants.
Overall retired from the game after
the season of 1910 to give his atten-
ton to a gold mine in California. Re
ports are that the gold mine has been
slow in developing and that the former
star pitcher is willing to come back
and earn more of the big money in
baseball.
When Overall retired 1t was after a
season of Ill luck in which he expert
enced much trouble with his arm. How
ever he seems to have effected a cure
of the lameness, for in pitching for in
dependent teams in California the fol-

best in the big league. He also devel-

the past.
