Buying . ball player for his
fielding abilities and finding that
he is also nifty slugger. is the
luck of iris Speaker.
In his first few games as . reg
ular with the Cleveland Indians
Joe Sewell is cutting as big .
swath with his bat as he is with
his shortstopping.
With almost uncanny foresight
Speaker had already secured an
option on. the New Orleans player
before the Ray Chapman tragedy.
When the brilliant Cleveland short
stop was struck down Speaker paid
the Pelicans q neat sum for an i'm
mediate delivery Of the Dixie pas
timer.
First Flash.
Some youngsters play over their
their heads the first few weeks
when they first come up to the big
show, but If Sewell can keep on
doing it for a few days more he
may be the cog that will cause the
American league cloth to fly from
the Cleveland f1agpole.
The kid is ,slapping the Ban
Johnson apple with as much con-
fidence as he did the Dixie pellets.
Sewell is a product Of the Uni
versity Of Alabama baseball team.
He is in the majors before COM
pleting his first full year in the
minors.
Dobbs Picked Him.
Johnny Dobbs, manager Of the
New Orleans Pelicans, from whom
Speaker picked the peachy short
stop, says that Sewell is the best
player he ever sent up to the big
show and he is the gent who gave
both Jim Bagby and Del Pratt
their first passports to the big
orchards.
Dobbs was tipped off to the fact
that Sewell was a promising play
er by Ward Mcdowell, former man.
ager of the Birmingham City
league. The youth was then play
ing on the varsity team at Tusca-
loosa.
Pal is Star.
Ward told Dobbs that he had
/ seen a pair of flashy players on

the university nine which he ought
to get for the Pels. The other play
er's name was Stephenson. Dobbs
made . special trip to Birmingham
and looked the lads over. Az soon
as he set his eyes ON them he
opened up negotiations which re-
suited in his getting Sewell' before
the competition of St Louis and
Philadelphia major league scouts
had blocked the deal.
Speaker secured an option on the
youngster while the Indians were
training at New Orleans last
spring, but had not intended to ex-
ercise it until this fall. Stephen
son, who is Sewell's pal. will get
Q trial with the Indians next year.
Looks Good.
Here's the way Dobbs describes
the work of the youngster since he
reported to him last April:
II sent Sewell into the game as
soon as he reported and he didn't
miss a day until we sent him to
Cleveland. Very soon I made him
a lead-off man, and I want to tell
you that he is one Of the best lead
of batters l ever saw.
"He is simply a marvel for q
youngster. He hasn't q single
weakness other than one or two
little things that can only be over
come by experience. as. for In
stance, not looking every time to
see. whether the ball is in the air
or on the ground.
HE has q baseball head and
right now makes fewer mistakes
than a great many good players
who have been in the game . long
time"
Cleveland Hero.
The youngster is already receiv-
ing the plaudits Of Cleveland fans
and If the Indians crowd the Yanks
and White Sox OF the pennant
gang-plank the Dixie recruit will
be the biggest hero in Ohio, re-
CARELESS of who is elected to the
White house chair.
Sewell is a sweet kid, but he's
got big role to play. Still, he seems
to have the stun which will make
hash out Of Gleason's and Higgins
October hopes.
