UP A-COMINl, KIDS
Two Best Recruits in Big
Leagues Hail From Texas.
Walters, of Yanks, and Horns
by, of Cards, Big Finds.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

New York, Aug. 1.-The two base
ball finds uncovered this season are
Roger Hornsby, the Cardinal intielder.
and AL Walters. the Yankee catcher.
Oddly enough, both are graduates
from small Texas town clubs. and, at
the outset Of tho season. neither was
given much consideration.
Walters is the best all-around
catcher that has come up to the ma
jors since Ray Schalk's time is the
consensus of opinion among baseball
men who have seen the peppcry
young Yankee in action.
And about the young Cardinal. =
is said:
HE is the most brilliant infie,der.
the best hitter and brainiest youth
that has flashed into view since Eddie
Collins cast anchor in the big leagues"
Walters came from Waco, Texas,
while Hornsby was secured from Deni-
ison, Texas, a Glass D town.
Bit About Walters.
Walters, first of all. is wonderful
backstop. He pulls heaves out OF the
air or extracts them from the land
scape with as much ease as he snares
the straight-overs. Secondly, he has
a whip equaled by few men in the
game. He is a snap thrower and
pegs with a deadly accuracy. He gets
away with the ball with almost the
same motion that he grabs 1.-THE
trick that marks the difference be-
tween ordinary catchers and wonder
full catchers.
Ty Cobb had heard much of Wal
ter's pegging power. He decided to
test out the wing during the recent
Yankee-Tiger series. Ty took unto
shot for second with the swing of the
pitchers arm. The whirlwind Geor-
gian was touched out standing up
tagged even before he had a chance to
slide.
The next time Ty tried a steal he
didn't have such a long lead. And
then the cocky young Walters showed
in what contempt he held Cobb by
playing a bit with the ball before he
again the play read: "Cobb out steal
ing, Walters to Godeon."
Walters Can Hit, Too.
What has happened to Cobb has
befallen the majority of other base
runners who have tried to pilfer at
Walters expense.
Few catchers in the league are in
Walters class as batters. During the
first three months of the campaign
he whanged the horsehide for an av-
stuffed out somewhat, yet he ranks
today as one of the most timely hitters
in the game. Walters. as a batter, is
never SO good as in a pinch.
But what has made Walters a reign
ing favorite in New York is his spirit,
his pep" and his enthusiasm. He
is chattering all the time, steadies his
pitcher and puts new life into the
whole team. No game is lost. in Wal
ters' opinion. until the last man Is out.
He's a cheerful, optimistic youngster-
the kind that never admits defeat until
the final count is made.

TWAS THE ONLY
WAY HE COULD
USE HIS HEAD

When Joe Cantillon was managing
Washington some years ago he had a
stupid recruit named Kay. This boy
had the real mother-of-peaTl bean and
was inaccessible to any sort of an idea.
Use your head" yells Joe to the
bonehead as he started out to bat
Along comes a fast one and Kay sticks
his nut right into it. the ball bouncing
into the stands. The stupid recruit
chases down to first rubbing his nut
and after he comes in to the bench
Cantilion wants to know what sort of
stuff does he call that. well. you
told me to use my head" says Kay.
