YOUNG, But, Oh NY!

THOSE Evas might average only
% years old. but for speed and
all-arourd class, they cannot be
equalled in this, or any other minor
league, to my way of thinking. The
Evas had very little chance to dis
play their wares against the COM
bined efforts OF the Glockson
brothers, Walter Halss and Red
Dixon. We must watch out, for To-
day or in the subsequent games,
they are apt to turn the tide with
vengeance.
Al BashAng has provide his merit

Lee Meyers, formerly Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, is one OF the
foxiest and best second-batters In
the league. Bashang and Meyers
are the pivot men for the outfield
and iafield. respectively. Being
older in point Of experience, they
serve as anchors for the fast

OUR OWN BABE RUTH.

Lave you ever noticed the easy
swing with which Norm Clock
son lays the ball over the fence for
a home run. Owing to the la1ity
in keeping the league batting aver
ages, Norm's total homers are
matter of doubt. But that isn't the
question-now.
The big fellow hits homer with
no greater effort than other play
ers bat singles. This is explained
BY the fact that the force Of any
blow Of swing starts from the. right
knee in Norm's case; the left knee
in case of a left handed batter.
Glox has powerful limbs, massive
shoulders and tremendous bicep
power, SO when he swings and bats
the ball over the fence, his swing is
only an easy, graceful carry
though" The latter is what 9
golfer might say with his judgment
based ON the underlying secret OF
perfect drive.
Norm did it again yesterday
moreover, tying the score. Hi
second wallop was double to tn
fence in left on which Lotus show
ed his great speed.

COOKING at yesterdays box score

will see where Walt Halas famed
Eddie johnson three times, made

single base hit. There is nothing
unusual about those feats as they
stand, but by actual fact, Halas
broke the most sensational batting
streak recorded this year in the
Three-Eye league.

garfield, KY, joined the Evas II
days ago after some time spent in
the Blue Grass bushes. Until yes
terday, his batting orgy consisted
of one homer, six triples, five
doubles and a pair of singles. One
! single was the best he could gel
from Halas. Eddie looked kind OF
foolish when he swung wide on

are so averse to him and they are
likely to reply, "On general prin-
ciples." There is no room in base
ball for the latter. One must either
be specific or not pose as q con-
noisseur of ball players. Until he

abusive prejudices. Surely, there
could be no other reason. for here
is his record for the last 10 games:

~, 6 10 33 IL 4
By these figures, compiled for the
last Moline, Bloomington, Peoria
and Evansville yesterdays game)
Glockson has batted 1888. and field
ed 800. His summarized record
for the same period discloses the
facts that he has batted in six
runs, hit one double and one triple,
stole one base, sacrificed once,
walked four times and famed four
| times.
The players worth as utility
man has been proved time and
again, having had to fill in at third
short, second and first, besides
playing in the outfields. Essen
TALLY, Glockson is not a utility
player. He is a specialist at Sec
ond base. Scant fortunes OF the
home club forced him to be play
about man. Fews can serve in al
most any position and retain theil
effectiveness.

enumerated in the above statistic
were committed out Of his regula

In view of these statistical fact
