among the newcomers must be pref
ty strong.
Falkenberg was a whale with
Cleveland but with Indianapolis he
has been peeled frequently. Bob
Groom, last year with Washington,
is not making as good record with
the Sloufeds. Ad Brennan is not hav-
ing a wonderful string of victories as
a Chifed pitcher, and Jack Quinn,
though off to good start with Balti-
more, has not been as great a puzzle
to Fed batters recently as he was to
National Leaguers last season.
Frank Chance comes to town to-
day with his Yanks, but there will
not be as big crowd as last year,
when the first visit of the P. L. was
made a monster celebration and al
most a civic holiday. ~
One thing is certain, the P. L. will
not make any more trades with Cal
lahan. He feels that he was stung
in the deal by which the Sox obtain
ed Chase, for Borton and Zeider.
Chance would not have cared if lei
der had remained loyal. Chase for
Zeider would have been an even
break in his estimation, as Borton
was only figured for temporary duty
until a more energetic player could
be secured. ... .
