"Gilroy is in training to be an aviator
at Kelly Field. at San Antonio, Tex.
He writes that he is highly elated with

Tommy Whalen is serving Uncle Sam

their assignments in Florida.
"1t was near Pensacola that Ed

when he fell from an airplane into the
gulf. His body has not yet been recov-

bare possibility that fishing boat may
have picked the student aviator UP be-

Owner Ebbets of the Dodgers over

ney Dreyfuss handed him in the deal
whereby the Pirates obtained title to
Casey Stengel and George Cutshaw In
exchange for Mamaux. Grimes and
Ward. Mamaux last year appeared to
be the poorest pitcher in the big
leagues, and was of absolutely no use
to the Pirates. He won two games. in
each of which he had to be relieved by
some other twirler, and he was beaten
in eleven contests. Against the twenty
two men he famed. he had a record for
passing forty-nine. Batters on opposing
teams last season said he had lost the
hop on his fast ball. and as that was
the principal factor in his effectiveness
Pittsburgh fans figure he is all

summer by Manager Bezdek MamauS

Pittsburgh district, and was hammer

first joined the Pirates last season. but
