the club he has shown unlimited de-
termination to make good and has sue

There probably was not pitcher on
the Cub staff who toiled with more as
siduity than Hendrix on the training
trip. He was dissatisfied with the
terms given him In his contract, but
on the Journey through California, Ari-
IONA, Texas and Oklahoma he did not
approach the president once. 1t was
his desire to let the boss judge for
himself. Mitchell evidently did not
think Hendrix was worth more than
he offered him and let him quit the
club, but later on had a change Of
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
shape and it did not take much time
to get back In the condition he was in
when the club closed It's training trip
in Kansas City. About one week was
all Hendrix required. At the end of
that time he reported himself as At 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. Wildness was his trouble In the
game he rescued Alexander. but he
was so fast and revealed so sharp a
breaking spitball that the manager de-
cided he was sufficiently effective to
take his turn on the rubber.
Since being used as a regular Hen
dirk has supplied brand of ball 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 TAI for having won
twenty and lost seven games. II he
continues the form he has displayed Ia
the last two weeks he will probably
beat that record and will make Grover

O'Mara is playing great game at

Cy Williams isn't particular where
he knocks his home runs.
Manager Connie Mack Of the ex-
champion Athletic team plays golf.
If Owner McGill only had a couple
more Clint Rogges and Cavets there

The New York Giants have first
baseman under cover in George Kelly,
who seems to be finally coming
through. He is reported as playing
wonderful ball for Rochester.
Pitchers come and go, but some
hang on forever. Old Moose Romine
looks like a million dollars in the
Three-I league and is about the only
pitcher the Bloomington club depends
on.
In the second game of the Decora
ton day set-to between st. Paul and
Minneapolis the Saints scored q

ROOKIE SHOWS REAL CLASS
John Paul Jones Expected to Derive
Much Benefit From George
Gibson at Toronto.

John Paul Jones, the young pitcher
sent by McGraw to the Toronto club,
is a boy Of much promise and just the
sort Of a fellow that the Giant leader
would keep with him If the player
limit permitted.
However, a season in the Interna-
tional league will be of great benefit
to the Louisiana hurler, especially In
view of the fact that he will be under
the tutelage of George Gibson, past
master In the art--and it is an art-of
developing young pitchers.
