OF SPORTS

Harry Mueller, crack catcher of the
battleship Louisiana baseball team, has
signed contract to play with Milwac-
kee this season but has not yet been able
to effect his discharge from the navy.

with him early in the season but as
Mueller's home was near Milwaukee he
preferred to play there. Mack says that
he will nevertheless keep an eye on the
navy man all during the season

form. Last Sunday against the Indian
apolis club he stayed the full nine in
nings, holding them to four hits.

brought to the Braves by Manager
George Stallings, is being tried out for

superb game and is not likely to be
busted. He does not care to warm the |
bench and says that if he cannot beat |
out either Devlin or Maranville, he wants |
TO go back to Buffalo. where he can
play every day.

showing of his younger pitchers this sea
son. The streak of adverse fortune that |
followed the Mackmen last season was
