HERB AND THERE
By c. c. H.

Here's what you call real patriotism in a ball player. Lefty" Thompson, a pitcher who was drafted by Wash ington from Toronto of the Interna- tional league, and in turn was drafted by Uncle Sam was offered a chance to play weekly ball with the Senators at a very good salary. He had permit ito leave on the week ends to play with whom he choose, but he refused .Griff1th's offer saying that his camp team needed him and he was going to stay and pitch for them. Thomp- son is acting corporal of the 15Sth Depot Brigade stationed at Camp Meade, Md, and teaches the new ones how to march and is also instructor in the national game.
 Tn addition to walloping the pill in the Steel League, Joe Jackson, the former White Sox fence breaker is working as a painter in the Whining Q ton shipyard. If Joe can paint as good as he can hit Texas leaguers we'll say he is some little painter.
 Bob Shawkey, the former Yankee hurler is pitching some ball for the Philadelphia Navy Yard team. In his last game he allowed two hits and vanquished the opposition, 20.
 So far this year four major leaguers have made three or more long hits in one game, Hooper of the Red SoX made three doubles off Shaw of the Senators; Ruth of the Red Sox made three doubles and a triple off Ayers, and Johnson of Washington; Scott of the Red Sox got three doubles off Shaw and Hansen of the Senators; Heathcote, the Cardinal young star, made a double, triple and a home run off Mayer and Hogg of the Phillies.
 Clyde Waters, the former New Ha- ven catcher, has signed up with the Fisk Red Tops of Springfield and will be Art Johnson's battery mate.

ICY" LARGER SOLD TO
 CHICAGO NATIONALS

Memphis, Tenn, June 27-Pitcher Ezra "Cy" Barger, manager of the Memphis Southern Association club, last night was sold to the Chicago Ma tionals. He will report when the Southern season closes Friday.
 The Southern League, lang known as the old mems home, is going to dis band tomorrow, and all the players of any worth have been sold into the major leagues. Probably the most surprising sale of all was that of Cy Barger to the Cubs. Cy will be re- membered as the pitcher who was re- leased by Charley Ebbets many years ago and was pronounced through. Barger went to Newark, the Federal League and finally to Memphis, where he became the manager last season on the sudden departure of Mike Don lin.
 Now Barger, at the age of 54, comes back into the National League. He is hitting .350, and ranks second among the batsmen of his league Barger comes to the Cubs not as a pitcher, but as an outfelder and pinch hitter. Lake Ham Hyatt of the Tanks he may be playing every day before the season gets very much older.
