Senators Do Hill Climbing

Senators Do Hill Climbing
 In the meantime, the Wash ingtons have pulled themselves out of midsummer sleep and have spurted into third place. Their hitters have been hitting, and of late their pitchers have been pitching. Even Uncle Wal ter Johnson has crossed the scrlbes up again, and mas given the assertion that he was slip ping into baseball oblivion the lie.
 Trouble is. however, that the Griffmen got started too late on their mad rush towards the top. Had they begun a few weeks earlier they would have given tho Tanks and Indians battle for the flag. The two leading teams seem to have gone stale, and are playing indifferent ball at times, but with almost hundred points to spare in the way of lead it doesn't look like .he D. c. boys have a chance.
 BrOttem Delivers. Too
 While commenting on the way Bing Miller has delivered the goods, 1t might not be amiss to recount the fortunes of Tony Brottem. as we'll Tony went up with Bing from the Little Rock club last year. and at the time of his departure it was generally conceded that he was one of the best catchers ever developed in Dixie. That was a pretty big concession when it is remembered that Jimmy Archer, Mig Clarke. Val Picinich, and crew of other star backstops have gone up from this league.
 In Washington the giant re- ceiver had little tuck. or little chance to show his wares. Final ly Manager Mcbride of the Wash ington outfit decided to get rid of him, and the Pirates. who had sought Tony in the beginning, grabbed at the chance and car ried him to Pittsburg.
 We now find the same Tony, who was ostracised at Washing ton. catching grand ball for the pennant-mad Pirates. After all, it looks like the Senatorial man agement did Tony a favor. He hopped over from a club which is almost out of the American league race to an outfit which is leading in the National league. Tony stands good show to horn in on the worlds series money, which will be divided by the players this fall.

ally as the greatest crab in baseball, underwent an operation for his disposition when he de- cided to take charge of the Chi cago Cubs succeeding Fred Mitchell Johnny, recognized the world over as an umpire batter, and as slave driver. changed his tactics when he took charge of the Cubs this season
 The erstwhile fire eater had probably read in some book that soft answer turnest away wrath. Instead of riding his men he buddied with 'em. In- stead of trying to step on the toes of umpires he abided by their decision, For a time it looked like the change would work, and scribes began to comment on Johnnys docile attitude.
 It failed to work. however, dissension started anew on the club--the same dissension that Fred Mitchell was unable to ex tinguish-and Thursday night the Cub officials applied the ax and chopped Mir. Evers from the pay roll.
 
 The Case of Mir. Killefer
 Bill Killefer, who succeeds the little Trojan as boss of the ill., fated Cubs, was carried to Chi- cago from the Phillies more as excess baggage than anything else He was always recognized as one of the best eatchers in the game, to be sure, but at the time he went over to the Cubs the Chicago outfit was well supplied with catchers. Weeghman had gone into the market for Grover Cleveland Alexander, however, at that time the peer of all pitchers. Killefer had caught Alex in his rise to fame and the Cub officials felt that breaking up the battery might cut down Growers effect tveness Therefore, they raised the ante a bit and bought both men. Bill didn't bring near as much as Alex, but he may prove of more value to the Cubs than the lanky pitcher. And. after all, he will probably outstrip Grover from a salary standpoint, As manager he will surely draw down more sheckels than prl- vate in the ranks. Bill just sat steady in the boat, gave the best he had in him, and Fate, dealt him a winning hand. Alexander, for whom the Cubs paid what was at that time record price didn'ts live up to expectations. Killefer has been the surprise package and has proved he IS worth many times over what the Cub officials paid for him,
