PLANK IS Teaching
Raymond BRESSLER

1t looks as if the Athletics have the
coming left-hander of the country in
Raymond Bressler. who was with
George Cockill's Harrisburg Tri-State
league team last year. When Mack
signed Bressler it caused some COM
ment, for while he was a Furnishing
youth, Tri-State league sharps be-
lieved that there were several other
pitchers in the circuit who looked
better than Bressler. But Mack
makes few mistakes when it comes
to selecting players. He saw ability
in the southpaw that was observed
to less gifted eyes, and the result has
vindicated his judgment. It is not
known generally that Bressler is a
protege of Plank's. The Gettysburg
man took him in charge last fall and
ever since then has been teaching him
the fine points of the southpaw's art.

CROSS-EYED FANS

Boston Braves, does not know and be-
lieve in. too. He groans if a cross
eyed fan comes into the grounds. but
brightens Immediately upon seeing a
load Of empty barrels rattle by. All
the bat handles must point toward
the dug-out and no newspapers must
be allowed to lie near the bench. But
most potent Of all the malignant
omens are birds. Fighter as he is,
Stallings has little hope Of winning
a game if only bird lights on the
roof of the bench. The grounds of
the Boston lean abound in sparrows
and pigeons. and a special boy is
hired to peg stones at the birds and
keep them on the wing while the
Braves are playing.

One Of the sayings famous among

One of the most entertaining men
in baseball that has hit this town
for years is Umpire Pete Harrison,
who is working the Baltimore games
at Union street grounds. Mr.. Har-
rison is undoubtedly the best indi-
Gator holder that ever passed through
the turnstiles at Union stadium. He
has the honor of being heralded
throughout the International League

organization. The fact that he main

feat of Indiana Saturday excelling b,

while in Pogue and Clark the Illini
have great ground gamers and in
Macomber a kicker to be reckoned
with. Meanwhile Iowa. which meets
the Maroons next Saturday. also has
developed a scoring machine, and it is
likely. think critics. to test the Stage
defense to the utmost. Iowa piled up
a topheavy score against Cornell COL

some offensive stars Of the first class.
Purdue. Minnesota and Wisconsin
came through their battles victorious
as expected, and each is to be counted

appeared hardly a championship con
tender. Michigan again failed to
show an impenetrable defense. while

tai that exceeded the century mark.
