Have you been watching Tiilie
Walker? Tillie OF the mighty arm
ard trusty bat is doing valiant
things for the Connlemacks. 1t must
be sweet revenge for Tillie. who was
let go by the Red Sox, who could use
him right now.
Walker has struck a speedy gait
since May ]. He has earned for him
self and his batting average many
points, and has set seasons record
for two weeks work with the nail in
hammering out homers.
Yesterdays game was won by
Walker after he lost # In the ninth
with a nun. He went IN to bat and
hammered out a hit which won the
contest from the Indians.
In hitting for an average OF .42o
since May /, Walker has boosted his
mark to 1897 for the year, and is a
valuable asset to the Mackmen.
Titles four homers, with other extra
base hits, have given thirteen extra
bases in his twenty-one hits since
May /. Walker is hitting them all
with ease, and Mack is probably as
satisfied as Tillie.
