Cubs, with Eyers in 1918, were a sue

George Tyler, the southpaw member
of the pitching trio who made the
Braves the sensation OF the National
league, is considered the most effec-

He owes his effectiveness mostly to
his overland motion and TO his cross

Overland pitching southpaws are
rare. Waddell was one and there have
