Sport Wheezes
by CLUG-

If Otis Lambeth were only of trip
lets and the Savages had the other two
we might win few more games.
Speaking of such things. it is reported
that Tex Jones' Des Moines first baseman
is the father of twins. The players on the
Izzy club have presented Tex with a dou-
Bile seated baby bouncer.
The passing of Doc Reynolds, former
Topeka star twfrler, is another of
reaping you SOW. Those who know Doc
are confident that he would have still been
drawing fat salary in the big show If he
had known how to take care of himself.
=, Prince Gaskell who was released by the
Sioux City Indians last week has been
signed by the Omahogs. Gaskell was with
Denver last season and reckoned
of the best mound artists in the league.
A report comes from Newton that York,
the promising young Newton Santa Fe
pitcher, has been offered u place on the
Savage staff at good salary and has

this must have something. But having
something and having enough TO stick
with a Western league club are two diff

York should know that a club that is
