y
holdout, is certainly playing great ball
down in New Orleans, II he is playing
with a bunch that can furnish formid-
able opposition and II he is facing
pitching that is better than high
school stun
Playing with the BraQucts against
the Gas Lights Sunday he raped out
three hits In Ave times at bat, one
of his bingles being homer with two
men on that brought his club enough
runs to win the game by comfortable
margin, TO 9.
Besides hitting 'em out, Sam stole a
base, scored two runs and gobbled up
the only chance that came his way in
the outfield.
The pitchers who were used against
the Braauets were =. Gandolfii and
Jimmy Dygert, the latter of Philadei-
phia Athletic fame. Dygert was with
Baltimore and Providence last sea-
son. He left Providence before Bill
Donovan became the Greys' manager.
Donovan says that he understood
that Dygert's arm went bad and that
ne had TO quit and return 10 his home
in New Orleans. Be that as II may.
Ne evidently had some stuff Sunday.
Tor according TO the report OF the
came printed in New Orleans papers,
lie showed his old-time form, and the
way he was using his splitter ana
curves was a treat for the many fans
present"
In the seven innings Dygert pitch
cd he famed ive and passed two men.
II WAS largely through CRAWFORD
hitting that the Braquets were able TO
sop. Al single by Crawford, who hit
third. In the first inning, helped In the
manufacture of three runs in that
Irame His homer In the second add
I'd three more.
Crawford has told his New Orleans
friends that he expects Manager Jen-
pings to pull for him in getting the
.aise OF salary that he wants.
While Cleveland is boasting that
'he Maps may have two pairs or broth
crs on the team this summer, Detroit
Uses right up to remark that the
Tigers may have three pairs OF broth
crs on their team 10 fill the place OF
me one pair, the Onslows, lost last
year.
Ah-ha!
Cobb, Veach and Deal all have
brothers who are working their way
% through the minor leagues, II is
hoped, into the big ones.
Cobb's brother Paul is the best
known. He is an outfielder with the
lincoln club in the Western league.
Veach's kin Is likely TO play with
Peoria. where Bobby himself was be-
fore Indianapolis caught him only to
ave him later shared by the Tigers.
Charlie Deals brother Harry Is ex-
pected TO be In the Western league
along with Paul Cobb this summer.
Brothers of Vean Gregg and Joe
Jackson are said TO be slated for the
Maps (perhaps.)
The Nap crack southpaw's brother
IS a pitcher who has been with Port
and. For that club last year he won
i've games and lost seven. Vean says
that he Is a wonder. despite the hg-
ures.
Joe Jackson says that his brother Is
as good as he himself is. II Is not
stated whether Joe's pride In his
brother or modesty in his own achieve
Inents prompt him to make this state
ment
II would be very unusual II any OF
these brothers should get together.
The Tigers had the only pair of broth
ers in big league captivity last year
when the two Onslows, Jack and Ed
die, were here. This pair Is now with
Providence.
Some years ago the Killifer BROTH
ers. Red and Bill, we're both in the
American league.
They are doing to Frank Chance In
New York Just what Hughie Jennings,
Tiger manager, warned them against.
they are making hero of Frank be-
fore he has had chance 20 demon
Ltrate that he Is going to be one,
II Chance falls down with his High
landers in New York there will be a
gery dark brown taste in the mouths
pf few thousands of fans in the big
city. The higher they boost Frank the
greater can be this fall.
The New York American league
club obtained great deal OF the An
est kind OF publicity In signing the
Peerless Leader. For days the names
of the club and OF It's prospective man
ager were linked In newspaper stories,
real and faxed, which came now from
New York and now from the coast,
going all over the land.
Not in years has there been such
general interest In the signing of
manager OF ball club as there was In
The obtaining of the signature OF
Chance-an interest that was sustain
cd remarkably for several weeks.
Then came the reports OF the fab
nlous salary that was demanded and
received by the former Cub boss,
.anging anywhere from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Il is doubtful II Chance'is receiving
anywhere near this amount as bona
ade. salary. Like Jennings. he may
make somewhere near this amount
when he wins pennants, but not when
