porsider quvered at the start and at the end but he
held to nevertheless and had just enough to beat our
Phils, Az. From the first to the ninth, Tyler
steady the Shamrock in drydock. Tyler has had a
lot of trouble with his wing and has not been able to
take his regular In the box He's been nursing his
whip for time It's not entirely correct yet but 1t
looks as II he's about due If he does come through the
Cubs will kick up some fuss before October days.
In the ninth Tyer's main sail something like that
seemed to be about to crack Cy Williams started the
wind blowing by dropping single in right. Meusel hit
straight to Deal and double play resulted This really
saved Lefty. Fletcher singled and scored Jack Mers
slam for base Swat Cravath sentenced himself to bat
for Mack Wheat and as usual came through-ths time
with double. Miller stopped at third aud Bevo Lebour-
yeau was assigned to do Gavvys sprintng Eppa Rixey,
the pitching pinch hitter attempted heroic work when he
batted for Causey Eppa proved he's more Of pitcher
than batter by hoisting to Terry for the third out
Tyler didn't need that fly of Rixey's or the double
play any than the United States Olympic commit
tee needs dough. He pulled through tough game
by good support
II TYLER'S arm continues to improve and Alep
and Vaughn hold their present pace, the Cubs toiH
cause many erra heart beats their trdy around the
National League circuit.
Frank Walker Making Good
CONNIE MACK is having some luck in the West,
~ because he is winning few ball games. He is
making changes in his lineup inserting faces
here and there and to be getting away with it.
The lean leader has been up against it long time with
his eighth place club but he is trying hard to make
showing He has scouts all the country digging up
talent and is paying real for likely looking athletes
Recently he lifted person named Frank Walker out
of the bushes in Rocky Mount n. c., and this
of the best selections he has made in time Walker
is finished ball player. Many big league scouts looked
him and several clubs bidding for his services
Connie paid big price and, judging from the work of
the recruit, he wasn't stung.
FRANK is in the line up every day, hits the ball
4 trel, has q good throtoing and is
fielder. That's all that could be expected Of any
Doyle Praises Walker
DILLY DOYLE, with the Phls and with the
- Detroit Tigers chief ivory hunter, gave Walker
big boost up in Reading the other day.
He is one Of the most likely looking outfcders l
have seem he said "and Is bound to make good
in the big show. You could comb the bushes from the
Atlantic the Pacific and from Canada to Mexico and
q better prospect could not be found"
Doyle also had few words to say about n visit he
made to Rocky Mount recently. He discovered a
umpire and it is worth telling again.
Rocky Mount playing some club down there"
Billy narrated, land before the game the umpire took
his position before the grandstand and removed his
and announced the batteries. This the usual thing
but this ump had stuff to pull
HE finished his announcement and then pulled
bottle from his hip pocket He took long drink looked
around wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said
the audience:
- This is n swell drink, ladies and gentlemen, and
I can recommend it highly. Honest it's swell drink
it all of the time
HTHE umpire ioas introducing soft berer
age and tcus getting drdy toith IT,"
