Obe-Trotting Compton
Going Big as Batsman
in Pacific Coast League

Pete Compton, globe trotting outiield-
er, is leading the Pacific Coast league in
batting these days with an average soar
ing around the 400 mark
Which indicates that Peto's still in the
game head over heels after a long
stretch of playing and travelling.
Pete was with the st. Louis Browns
as far back as 19101112, and the fact
that he survived that term indicates he $
a plugger.
Since he broke into the big show a
decade ago he has played mostly in the
fast minor leagues, although he received
brief sojourns in the. majors.
His record for the shortened season Of
1918 shows how Pete has been kept busy
moving. He started that campaign as q
member of the New Orleans club In the
Southern association. In seventy two
games he batted 500. When the season
closed the Louisville club in the Ameri-
can association bought him and Pete
starred with that club until the curtain
was rung down. He was the nominal
batting leader in the A. A. Then he was
purchased by the Giants
Pete failed to stick in New York.
though, being returned later to Louis
Vile. Last year he was with the Seattle
club In the Pacific Coast league and bat
ted at a good gait all season landing
wei up in the list. He's playing this
year with Sacramento.
Compton, previous to the 1913 cam
paign had played with Kansas City and
a number Of other cities and leagues In
the country.

Being HOLdOut Costs
Wit Regular Berth
With BOstOn'S Team

Oscar Witt is with the Red Sox-but
not the way he figured. Oscar is warm
ing the bench as utility inhelder and the
veteran Eddie Foster is playing third
Wits pet position.
So much for being hOldOut.
Witt got the idea last winter that the
Red Sox ought to raise the ante for him
and figured that, with Ruth and Mays
gone. they needed their other stars lin
Guiding Oscar more than ever. So Os-
car stayed hOme-and kept in touch with
the telegraph office.
The Red Sox started off fairly well
without Oscars help and so, the other
day, up hobs Vitt-has a talk with Owner
FrHzee and goes to the clubhouse bright
and early the next day.
Finding his shoes filled, Witt has shown
the spirit that usually dominated him
by saying nothing, but waNing his
chance. It's a good het that sooner or
later he'll be IN the lineup again, play
ing his usual stellar game.
Witt is a Californian by birth, hailing
from Frisco. He's 30. he played around
with the Frisco Pacific Coast league club.
Detroit drafted him in 1911. He played
second. third and the Outfeld of and on
until Jennings settled him permanently
az third in 1915. Last year Witt went TO
Boston in a three cornered deal with
Washington, Ainsmith. Love, Janvrtn,
Dumont and Shorten also figuring in the
deal.
Wit always has been a great fielder at
the hot corner, but never has been hard
hitter.

Burns Goes From MackS
70 Cleveland, Which Puts
Him in Better Mood

sSTeuber, when you were in school,
you thought the kid who skipped" a
grade was 4 humdiuger?
Well, he was a piker alongside George
Burns. For this player has jumped from
Connie Mack's kindergarten to the grad
uGung class OF the American league
provided the Indians graduate into a
Bennant winning outfit as per Cleveland's
hopes.
Comics little tots were having a good
time the other day when he walked into
the nursery and told them that Burns,
one OF their three ''papas," was going
away. Tearfully they gathered around
the other two vets, Clarence Walker and
Amos Strunk, and heard the story.
The Indians recently got Burns from
Connie Mack for somewhat over s., 500
and yOungster, it is believed. He joins
the tribe IN a utility role to i'll Doc
Johnston shoes at first, when Docks
charley horse halts him, and to pinch
hit.
Burns was born in Niles, o., and broke
into baseball in 1913 with Burlington in
the Central league.
Detroit obtained him the following sea-
son and he played with the Tigers until
bought by Connie Mack last year. Last
year with the MacknIen he hit .2S6 and
helded $50 in 126 games.
His acquisition by the Cleveland club
means that the club has decided to let
Joe Harris remain in outlaw baseball or
trade him.

Overall Strong Booster
for Reds Because Pat
Told Him How to Pitch
Orvie Overan. onee known 10 baseban

Orvie Overall, once known to baseball
as a pitcher with control, although now
retired and engaged in ranching at Vi
nsSIia, Cal, wants Cincinnati TO win the
kague pennant in the National league
Face this year, and the reason he wants
ITO see the Reds on top is because Pat
Moran, manager of the Reds, gave Orvie
his first lessons in control and helped
him make a name in major league base
ball.
This is the way Overall recounts the
story: When he first broke into the
game in the bigtime circuit he was wild
very wild-and then Moran took him
under his wing. Out behind the grand
stand Pat would hold his glove in posi-
ton and say, Hit it here" and then
move it and repeat, Hit 1t here and
finally Overall began TO ind that he
could hit IL.
Overall was bothered also with getting
too anxious and throwing his arm away.
And then Moran instilled into the
young pitcher the idea Of taking mis- time,
and making every ball thrown 60 where
he wanted it

GREATEST HE EVER KNEW.


New York, June Z.
Dear Tad-In the interesting items
about the Greatest Fighter" it seems
strange no one has yet mentioned 1.-THE
Greatest of Them ALL" so I will click
Of the following for your column:
Have the memories of some Of the old
timers absolutely deserted them so that
they have forgotten the man who was
the victor in 80 battles, the man who
caused the death of four Of his OPP
ponents. the man who took on all classes,
who would fight for pot of beer or
n purse Of $50, the man who no OPP
ponent would ever fight again once he
had faced him in the ring, the man who
came from generations Of fighting stock
and whom Jack Baldock, nrince of Sec
onds, claimed could take aSy living man
in the world. irrespective of weight,
locked up in room with him and make
him jump out the window, tho man who

NcAuline, the man who was matched
with Jimmy Mitchell in Philadelphia, a
lrst-class lightweight, to try him out,
and who gave Mitchell an unmerciful
heating in a couple of rounds, and then
cody faced the audience and said in a
loud voice. Bring on McAuliffe."
And then the famous match at Revere
Beach, near Boston, the same year. It
is one black blotch on the history Of
American ring history.
McAuliffe could not make the weight
so they hurried him from pillar to post :
the gloves were lost; the sheriff was
on the trail, everything was done to
give McAuliffe time to put on weight.

rec on his side
The stranger had no one on his side.

though he had the crowd with him
armed with bottles and blackjacks.
He hung back in his corner, while the
stranger dropped his hands ana begged
McAulife TO come out and fight a round
or two.
But McAuliffe had had enough in the
esrly rounds and wanted TO save the
thousands that his friends had bet OF.
him.
1t wound up in 4 general fight and
the main scrap was called a draw, which
was very unfair to the man who should
have been named victor, for winner he
was, as he had always been.
The best of them all was Jimmy Car
ney from birmingham.
To s0othe his feelings, he was given
a belt and money amounting to about
5000 before he sailed for home.
