RICKEY SURE OF s1sLER.
Says Pirates Have No Real Claim
on Michigan Man.

ST. LOUIS, July 21.-Branch Hickey,
manager of the Browns, says he is not
alarmed over the case of George Sisler,
former Michigan star. He declared
that, inasmuch as the national commits
sion allowed the Browns claim to SIS
Ter. he was positive that his pitcher
outfielder- first baseman would con-
"Sisler was declared a free agent by
the commission some time ago, and we
have its official verdict that he belongs
to u.s." said Hickey. $50 why should I
worry?
You can say this for me, though,
that If the commission asks to reopen
the case and reverses it's verdict, Sisler
will quit base ball and will not Join
the Pirates. He is well fixed financially
and does not play the game for the
money interest. I'm not worrying, and
the boy will remain with the Browns"
The Sisler episode contains this mix
up: Several years ago he signed with
the Akron, Ohio. club. The club and
league disbanded. and then the Sisler
contract was taken over by the Column
bus American Association club. It was
during this time that the Pirates in
had the promise of developing into a
star. Then Pittsburgh bought the Sis
Ter claim and annually forwarded him
a contract.
When isis" Joined Michigan Univer-
sity and had this faint of professional
ism against his record the Michigan
University folk asked the commission
to wipe out the contract This was
done, and now he Is with the Browns.

X-Ray Tests for Steel.

Detecting flaws in steel and other
metals is one Of the newest uses to which
the X-ray has been put. It has lately
been ascertained that steel is liable to
certain diseases. which lower its tensile
power and render it unsafe for many
purposes. The X-ray will promptly To-
cate the diseased part. The possibilities
Of overcoming this disease by recasting
are among the subjects now being studied
by X-ray research in Pittsburgh phys
ical laboratory.
1t Is also known that steel ingots al
ways have a flaw in the top end which
must be discarded for high-grade in
dustrial- use, such as the manufacture
of railroad rails and other articles re-
quiring absolute reliability. Many rail-
road wrecks have been due entirely to
faulty rails, the defect of which would
have been revealed by an X-ray exami-
nation. For years manufacturers have
been looking for some absolute test which
would indicate how much of the ingot
must be discarded to insure the per-
lection Of the finished article, and at the
same time to aviod waste.
Photographs taken Of a piece Of steel,
which show that the light goes through
in spots, indicate that the metal Is faulty
and not to be relied upon. Each spot
represents a flaw. which would probably
prove a hollow; IL the steel was cat at
that point.
