DAN GRINER NOW uses
CICOTTE'S SHINE BALL

Dan Griner, OF the Robins. has a
lot OF fun at the expense or the Op-
posing batters while he is twirling.
Dan, besides throwing a spit ball
with an underhand delivery. is fool
ing the bstters with the shine ball,
made famous last season by Eddie
Cicotte, OF the White SoX-
Toward The end OF the game he Is
pitching, and II the Robins are in the
lead IL is a safe bet that the opposing
batters will stop the contest and
complain OF the ball the Robin Is
using.
Recently Grincr shut out the Phil
lies with one hit, and in the last
inning the Phillies made Umpire
KLEIN look the ball over. After a
close examination KLEIN threw IL to
Griner. The Reds did the same thing
in Cincinnati, and again KLEIN o. h. d

UNCLE SAM STOPS
ATHLETES
WILL Join COLORS

CINCINNATI. May 1o.-BncIs Sam
has stepped in to do what many ball
clubs have failed to do-stop the
Giants in their headlong rush.
Rube Benton. one Of MeGraw's star
pitchers, has left the club to report
for military duty. Jess Barnes, the
big risht-hander obtained from Bos-
ton, expects to be summoned any
day. Benny Kauh, the slugEing out
fielder, will leave the club in a few
days. Jsh Tesreau. the veteran
tWirler. is planning to enlist In an
engineering unit.
Just what effect the los Of these
men in pitching, base running, held-
ing, and batting will have on the
Giants cannot be estimated, but Il
will not be a little.
