EVERS MUST REBUILD :
 ENTIRE CLUB-MIC CHELL

Chicago, November A.--(Special )--Fred
 Mitchell, ex-manager of the Cubs, has left Chicago. This does not mean he is never
 going back, for he probably will. as pilot of a club in either the National or Amer
 ican league. He has an offer from a
 club in each organization, and most like
 ly will accept one of them Boston, in
 the American league, wants him to take
 Ed Barrows place, and President Will
 liam Baker of the Phillies would like to sign him to supplant "Gavvy' Cravath.
 As Mitchell has gone to Boston, it would
 not be surprising to learn before long that he had accepted one of the offers.
 Mitchell, in discussing the Cub team be-
 fore he left remarked that Manager
 Evers must do considerable rebuilding if he wanted to have a first division team.
 "Evers will have to do a lot of re-
 building to get a ball club together said
 Mitchell. "He will have to get new men
 for first. second and third base. Hollocher
 is the only ball player on the field. T do
 not think Barber will ever make a first
 baseman. Terry is a fair second base
 man, but not the kind to play regularly
 because his legs will not stand it. He
 is a good man to have around to sit on
 the bench. Deal is a clever fielder when
 the ball is batted straight at him or
 within easy reaching distance. "Flack is. the best man Eyers will have | this coming season than he was last, be- cause he learned more baseball and played a smart game. Paskert has gone back considerably, while Robertson is too temperamental to be a star Yet he may be of more service to the team with Charlie Herzog off the club.
 Benny Friberg might be developed into a star outfielder. do not think he will ever make second baseman. As he has the speed, is good judge of drives and throws well. he ought to make a good fielder. If he does nto come through Inetx season I do not think he evcer will. "The strength of Evers' club lies in the pitching staff. He has Grover Alexander, l Jim Vaughn and George sTyler around whom to reconstruct his staff If l were Evers would use Vaughn as trad l ing material. Evers could get lot of Igood ball players for him. men who would make his team championship conten- der. Tyler, I think, will pitch better ball mex year.
 "BilI Kilefer is a great catcher. He knows how to handle men. Of course, he lis not getting any younger and is no long, ! CT fast. but he is an old head, throws Ipretty well and is a tireless worker. Bob | iOFarreli is the boy who ought to be | developed.

What about Walter ('Duster') Mails in 1921? \

 achievements of the Indian southpaw
 more than it does concerning any other player in big league baseball today. For if Mails proceeds through 1921 ae
 Eis hurricane clip of the ciosing days Of last season, he'll smash so many pitching marks that it will take an add ing machine to total them.
 Mails was practically unbeatable as an American leaguer displayed pitching through the closing days of the circuit fight and in the worlds series that was beyond anything ever shown before. And Iris Speaker says: T feel confident that Mails work was not flash in the pan. 1 think hell show just about the same sort of stuff in >1921 that he did for us in the last
 month or so of 1920. Wilbert Robinson often said, when Mails was with the Dodgers, that the kid would be won

And I look i for him to write his name indelibiy on the pages of baseball history" WAS WILD AT FIRST The Dodgers did have Mails-four eccentric. Robinson figured that with a little coddling and much teaching Mails would develop into truly great in the flinging world. But Charlie ED bets, boss of the club, couldn't see Mails He ordered Robison, to cut him , adrift.
 And Robby did
 1 Mails went to the Pirates Via the wal yer route, but they didn't give him chance there. So Mails was passed along to Portland, Ore. A short time later the
 war broke out--and Mails jumped into | the livery of your Uncle Samuel and served efficiently as 8 soldier. When the conflict was over,' Mails refused to
 report back to. Portland. So he reverted to Pirate ownership, whereupon the Ti-
 gers turned him over to Seattle. Later Mails went to Sacramento There his work became brilliant. Big league scouts began to look him over. And the Indians, acting quickly, speared him. Mails reported to his new club in the
 flag end of the year, just at time when the regular Indian noundsman, faiter'
 ing and weary, was staggering along and threatening under collapse. | MAILS RESCUE INDIANS Mails jumped in to assist-and what he did has made his name and fame, known throughout the land. He won his first six games-and by winning them he practically cinched the flag for the ln- dians. He worked in turn-and out or it-and again and again slung the oppo- sition into defeat lie made it possible
 for Bagby and -Covaleskie to rest up bit; a slight vacation which rejuvenatec them and sent them back into the fray refreshed and weli-night invincible. And so, at last came the worlds series, during which Mails achieved even greater glory.
