tryout recently under the supervision
OF no less a parsonage than Muggsy
McGraw in that workout Walsh
showed lots OF speed and seemed to be
in the best of health. He burned 'em
over as OF yore. and at the finish
Muggsy casually remarked that "the
old boy had q few more years OF base
ball before him."
Now McGraw isn't q sucker by any
means, and seldom makes q noise ike
that unleas he means IT, He looked
Walsh over carefully and evidently saw
enough to convince him that all hope
Is not yet lost.
He Never SComea Back"
But It is an established fact IN bass-
ball that a pitcher who has seen lots
OF service never comes back" after
his arm fails him. There Is no case on
record where a twirier completely re-

IVORY Muggsy. II is his idea 10 send
Big Ed to the same physician who
treated George Chalmers years ago,
in the hope that the NJ. d. will iron
out the kink and send the arm away

The treatment took" with Chal-
mers who afterward went to the Phil
lies, where he pitched fairly good
ball. It's taking q chance, but the
boss OF the Giants thinks II IL worth

Davis Thinks Different.
Harry Davis, Connie Mack's veteran
assistant, does not think that Walsh
will be able to succeed in his cam
paiEn. When asked what pitcher
ever did stage a real come back"
Davis pondered a moment and then
replied:
II cannot think Of a single In

who even tried Il after the old soup
bone went bad. Amos Rusie made
an attempt. but he failed. That's
about all / can remember. I don't
know about Walsh. but I hope he can
get back into the game. II never
has been done before. but there might
be an exception"
THE only pitcher who returned
after being counted out because OF a

good. There are no other pitchers

Fooled the Critics.
Bill Dineen. the umpire, who once
was a noted pitcher. said that George
Chalmers fooled the critics and
pitched after his arm went bad, but
his twirling was not effective. "As
soon as the snap goes from the arm"
he said, ats about time for a pitcher
to quit. The last year Walsh was in

him very little, and are almost like
this much picked PIP.
Mr.. Laramore is now having his
