Wednesday nights bowling in the
big league saw another change in the
standings of the teams. The OlI GuaFIs
team. which went into the league lead
ership last week, by taxing Ihree olle
of four points from the then leading
Houck team was pulled back to a tie
with the latter five through losing
three out of four points to the city Ma
tional bank team, while the aOuCh
team was winning three to / over the
Reres. The result of Wednesday nights
bowling serves to further Unc all OF
the teams. HoucEs team and the Ola
Guards are tied for first place with the
Sol I Bergs only three points DenlHG
them and the trailing City National
bank team still we'll in the running
only nine points behind the two leaders.
The race this year is the closest ever
seen in Ell PasO n promises TO pc
still closer before the season closes me
general impression now is that the lead
ers will not be more than five points
ahead of the last team when the season
closes in March.
In the first game WEDNESDAY nlSnI

~ONNIE' MACK pulled a good
= one at the expense Of the Chi
~ cago White Sox a number Of
years ago that makes an interesting
story. At the time the fans and play
ers figured that a recruit pitcher used
by Chicago was making the Mackmen
look foolish. when, as a matter of fact,
the good showing made by the recruit
was due more to lack of effort on the
part Of the Athletics than good pitch
ing on the part of h recruit.
The Chicago club had secured a
pitcher from the south by the name OF
Moxie Manuel. He was a peculiar look
ing chap, as we'll as a pitcher with a
peculiar style of delivery. At the time
1 have in mind, he bluffed using the
spit pail a great deal, but, as a matter
Of fact, seldom resorted to its use. a
good many nice things had been said
about Manuel, much stress being laiu
on a very deceptive spit ball which ne
was said to possess. AT that time ia
Walsh was at the height Of ms career.
The spit ball used by Manuel was re-
ported to be even more deceptive than
the one thrown by Walsh. In a game
played against the Athletics at the old
South Side park, the SOX got away 70
a big lead, and, when the game seemed
cinched, Manuel was sent in TO pitch;
AS I recall the affair, this happened
about the seventh inning.
He Set Down the Athletics.
There was much interest in the re-
cruit's debut. That evening he was the
talk of the town for the WI he set
down the Athletics. Manuel certainly
did have fine control, and, as is usually
customary when a recruit is started,
the opposition waited him out. Manue
had two strikes on every Phily batter
almost before he realized it. He was
getting the first two over, and the Ath-
Ietics were letting the umpire call
them. I don't believe "a hit was made
in the last three innings and i've or
six players went out on strikes. the
Chicago club had a wonderful pltchlnB
staff at that time. in fact, the pitching
