the Cub staff who toiled with more as

trip. He was dissatisfied with the
terms given him in his contract, but
on the Journey through California, Ar.
IONA. Texas and Oklahoma he did not
approach the president once. II was
his desire to lei the boss judge for
himself Mitchell evidently did not
think Hendrix was worth more than
he offered him and let him quit the
mind and sent for the pitcher and
signed him. writes Oscar Reichow in
Chicago News.
Hendrix was away from the club
for nearly two weeks, but in that time
he did not loaf He felt the club
would need him and eventually ask
him to report He was not wrong. and
when he did Join he was in fairly good

that time he reported himself as fit to
take his turn on the slab. and since
then has twirled as effectively as any
man on the staff.
President Mitchell was not sure of
Hendrix and let him finish a few
games before he decided to start him.
He relieved Douglas in one game and
Alexander in two. In all but the last
one he surprised the manager with his
work WildncSS was his trouble in the
game he rescued Alexander, but he
was 50 fast and revealed so sharp Il
breaking spitball that the manager de-
cided he was sufficiently effective to
take his turn on the rubber.

dirk has supplied a brand of BAH that
ranks him as one of the leading fingers
on the Cub staff 1t also explains why
he led the league last year in the num-
Der of games won and lost. His av
erage for 1918 was .741 for having won
twenty and lost seven games. If he
continues the form he has displayed in
the last two weeks he will probably
beat that record and will make Grover
Alexander and Jim Vaughn hustle to
retain the honors of being the stars Of
the club.
