One of the main reasons the
Cleveland ball club is up in the
pennant race in the American
league this year is human rea-
son, and it's name is Jim Bagby.
Bagby is not only one Of the
leading pitchers of the league, but
also has outdistanced every other
American league hurler in shut
outs, seven being credited to him.
In doing this he took that honor
away from his teammate, Cove
leski.

good pitching to help this

DiCkerSOn Has
Many Travels
During Season

BUTTE, July 20.-Clark Dick
erson, the pitcher who worked
for Butte during the last few
weeks of the season, has had a
fine tour OF the country this sea-
son.
Dickerson spent the winter in
Texas. He trained with the
Cleveland Indians this spring,
was farmed out to Milwaukee,
and from there turned over to
New Orleans. New Orleans sent
him to Waco, Tex, which team
returned him to Cleveland. Then
the Indians sent Dick to Butte,
and the n. w. league promptly
blew up. Dickerson is sending
out an S. o. S. for transportation
money east.
