CALDWELL OF TANKS
 HAVING GOOD SEA SON

Chicago, July 30.-There are
 number of pitchers in the big leagues
 who are ranked high. but very few
 of them have it on Ray Caldwell Of
 the Yankees when it comes to pitch
 ing ability. By his wonderful pitch-
 ling this year Caldwell has earned.
 recogndtton from all quarters and he
 need but to retain the pace he has
 set ana he will have finished the
 season ranked high among basebalPs anu Walter Johnson, the recognized
 stars. Of the two big leagues, have
 won more games, but Caldwell issnot3 trailing far behind. Slim by de- feating tI1a White Sox Monday
 swelIed his victories to seventeen besten seven tiness an extraordinary record Considering that he has been pitching for a. second division club. and poor one at that until recently.
 CaId4elrs work this year is consid- cred remarkable, for a year ago he himself admitted he was through. His sscome-bacl not only has been sur prise to himself, but to Chance also.
 When Caldwell was laid up last year with a sore arm, which kept him out Of the game for the greater part of the season. few persons at the time
 knew that tsSlinn" had given up all hope of ever starting again this year Slim was prepared to go back to the telegraph job which he held in McKeesports Pa, before he took up baseball as a profession. Then a mir ac1e happened and sim can thank no one else but Jack Warhop for the prolongng of his diamond career.
 XVarhobs, who also had trouble with his arm. met friend In New r ork one day last summer who asked him why he wasn't pitching. Jack told about his sore wing. Warhop had been to see a noted surgeon and when he failed to give him relief Jack didn't take much stock in the advice his friend had given him. The latter ad- vised Jack to see particular osteo< matter only passing notice. but Jotted down the name and address. Then an idea, came to Warhops Caldwell was in the same boat, so Caldwell was picked out as the so-called goat.
 Previously Caldwell was having all sorts of trouble with his arm At one stage he couldn't as much as toss the ball across to first base let alone put ting something on it. :" To one of the Yankees he said: We'll boys, this is my last wear. Next summer when you are playing ball Slim will be off some where clicking the old telegraph key. I'm all in, for my arm is gone.'' Warhopz overheard the conversation Then he told Caldwell about this cer- tain osteopath he had been referred lO-t It AnLSI0SlGU S4AK4 ike a person who is i'll. He was ready to try any thing suggested by some one else. s'I'll take chance" Caldwell said. '1f he can't do my arm any good then I'll quit.''
 Caldwell lost no time in going to the osteopathss office. He took number of treatments and within a few weeks Slim came out on the ball neld throw ing them over faster than ever This happened just previous to the time Caldwell started off on a winning streak last fall Caldwell was far from through. even though he thought SO The only thing that troubled him was a misplaced hgament. The treat nent put it in its normal place. Now Warhop brides himself on having made Caldwell the great pitcher he is. Jack, seeing that it Caldwell so much good underwent 1t too. After he got his arm back he started to pitch good ball. He has never pitch ed better than he has in the past two months So you see that a friends advice counts, for something occas- ionally.
