Jim Thorpe, famous Indian athlete,
sold recently to the Boston Braves by
Manager McGraw of the Giants, must

The celebrated Fox and Sac Indians

1t is true that Turner was a consid-

got to such stage that last year they

MOTIFS OfMe
DIAMOND

Jack Smith is playing great ball
these days.
Alexander has added to the Cubs
chances by getting into shape.
Connie Mack claims not to be the
least discouraged with the Athletics.
Bobby Veach of the Detroit Tigers
continues to club all kinds of pitching.
Bill Artz, recently released as UNI
pire in the Texas league, caught on
in the Eastern.
The Brooklyn club left Rube Mar
guard In Cincinnati to take treatment
for his cracked leg.
What became of all this talk about
the Red Sox repeating in the worlds
series next October?
y
Harry Davis is still acting as first
lieutenant for Connie Mack and max
ing good job of it.
Otto Knabe will probably start on
a scouting tour soon. The Cubs have
their eyes on several youngsters in
the minors.
Pitcher Carl Williams, just out OF
the army, has rejoined the Waterbury
club. thus giving Jack Flynn a staff of
five twirlers.
Scoring from first on pop fly and
a technicality indicates that Ty Cobb
is slowing up like one drummer play
ing in II jazz bands.
Old Johnny Bates still looks pretty
good among the youngsters of the
Southern league. He is playing the
outfeld for Chattanooga.
Harry Harper, star left-handed
pitcher for the Washington Americans,
has some of the best curves Of any
pitcher in any major league.
The wonderful fielding for Chicago
is what is counting for the White Sox
these days. Joe Jackson's work Is
nothing short of remarkable.
The collapse of the Brooklyn pitch
ing staff is one of the upsets of the
season, for the Dodgers were supposed
to have pitching above all else.
All things considered the Mobile
team has been making fine showing
and interest and attendance in the
Gulf City is reported at a higher stage
than for years.
Boston fans have been riding the
Red Sox pretty hard, which is some
thing new in Boston. Recently Jack
Barry even had to take boots from the
Grabbing Hub fans.
Having secured the services Of Al
Wickland for his oRtfeld, Manager
