GIANTS GET MEUSEL
Slugging Outfielder of Phillies Figures In Deal for Walker and Henline, Both Youngsters.

Pittsburgh, July 26-Enil Meusel
 sometimes called Irish, one of the best outfelders in the major leagues, last evening became member of the Giants, John McGraw announced that he had completed a deal with the Philadelphia club whereby Meusel was obtained for Curtis Walker, out
 fielder, and Walter Henline, a young and promising catcher who has been out on option with the Indianapolis club of the American Association. Henline will join the Philadelphias at once.
 The addition of Meuse1 to the New York forces will mean the addition of 1 a terrific punch to the attack and a great force to the defence. Meusel, by the way, is a brother of Bobby of the | Yankees, and there you have note ot personal interest which is bound to attract great attention in the metro polls.
 Irish Meusel is George Kelly's lone | rival for the home run hitting honors | of the National League, so that the l Giants have two of the heaviest clout- CTS in the circuit. Irish is right hand | ed hitter and batted 1909 last year. 1 MeuSel can cover a lot of territory
 and has perhaps the best arm among
 the National League outfielders. He lost hin arm last season, but it came
 bck this spring. Meusel's 1921 record
 as a hitter is 1854. Meusers acquistiin by the Giants follows close upon his suspension by the Phillies for indifferent playing. It was on open secret that Meusel fid not get along with Bill Donovan,
 manager of the Philllies, and that he wanted to be traded. The outfelder
 was offered to the New York, Pitts | burgh and Boston clubs, and New
 York was the only one which could
 offer another good outfielder and a
 catcher-men whom the Phillies
 wanted. Meusel probably will play
 right field, with Young going to center
 The news that Meusel had become
 a Giant was not greeted here with
 wild cheers. It is recognized that the | center
 new outfielder will make the Giants
 much stronger l In Walker and Henline the Phillies
 get two youngsters who are bound Ao
 make their marks in the game. Walk CT is a left handed hitter and has been
 doing very well in his first year in the
 majors. He joined the Giants last
 spring from Augusta of the Sally. | Henline was with Milwaukee last
 season and cost the Giants $12,OOO. He was sent away because the Giants had too many catchers. New York did
 not haveto ask for waivers on Hen line, as it had the privilege of farm ing" him out. Otherwise Brooklyn
 and several other clubs would have claimed him.

Robbers Smash Window at Ebbets Field Last Night While 2.OOO Fight Fans Look on.


 Field Last Night While 2.oOo Fight uS A>oA oi' s,5 g a-ss,.t.7 ;. Brooklyn, July 2e.-When the lights in the rotunda at the entrance of Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, went out last night just before the beginning of the bout between Joe Lynch and Pete Heran in which Herman regained from Lynch the bantamweight cham pionship which he had lost to him last December three men in the presence of 2.000 persons seeking to buy tickets held up the ticket seller at window No. 13, snatched all the bills within reach, and made their escape in the semi-darkness. The exact amount of the robbery could not be ascertained, but Charles H. Ebbets Jr., secretary of the Brooklyn Baseball Club, owner of the field, admitted that it amount ed to at least $500.
 As soon as the lights failed, three men jumped to the window. One of them broke the glass of the ticket window, pointed revolver at the ticket seller, and ordered him to hold up his hands and keep quiet. Another thrust in an arm and swept out pile of bills, all he could reach, the pro- ceeds of the sale of the eleven-dollar ringside seats, the highest priced seat at the exhibition. The third man acted as guard or lookout, but his services were not really needed, and the rob- bery was accomplished so swiftly that few of the crowd in the rotunda realized that anything out of the ordinary had taken place.

continues fair for week many growers
will be able to put the grass on the
market.
Growers are not prepared to market
at this time. The season is several
weeks ahead of normal The growers
are hoping for colder weather.
Even though the warm weather con

crop will not be injured, as the sprouts
would merely turn and grow downward,
