NOTES

!

| fielder Joe Wagner over TO the Lou
isville club.
Pitcher Jimmy Lavender asked Man.

Connie Mack's refusal to pay Jake

league pitcher, has been engaged to act
as baseball coach for the navy training
station at Newport, r. I.
Manager Fielder Jones Of the st.

BEST BACKSTOP RECORDS

/ A catcher who works in at
least 100 games each season is
/ worth a liberal salary. Last
years major league records
show that these men passed the
century mark behind the bat:
National league: Killifer and
Wingo, each 120 games, and
Rarlden, 100; American league:
Schalk and SEVERED, each 139
games; O'Neill, 127, and Ain
! smith, 119.
Those who caught between 90
and 100 games were Stanage of
. Detroit, Nunamaker of the Yam
. KEGS, Miller of Brooklyn, Snyder
: of the Cardinals and Tragresser
of the Braves.

USE GIRL USHERS

Girls are to replace men In
most of the work at the Colum-
bus American association base
ball parks this season, according
TO present plans.
The reason for the change, as
explained by President and Man
ager Joe Tinker, Is mixture
of patriotism and the extreme
difficulty in obtaining men for
the work.
When fans buy their tickets
they will receive their change
from n fair cashier. They VIII
hand their ducats TO n trim bru-
nette, or perhaps n blonde. A
uniformed girl will operate the
turnstiles, and girls will be EN-
ployed as ushers.
