| New York. April 22-An interesting
| 10 days has been passed in the big
leagues. Note how fortune has played
it's pranks. Branch Hickey was laugh
ed at when he took Del Gainor out OF
the minors and brought him back to
st. Louis. Yet where might the cards
have been were it not Tor the sood
work that Gamer has displayed. And
what would Hickey have done had he
not called Toporcer and his specs back
from Syracuse? The kid has been
playing life saving ball at short.
Debarry has slipped a new quality Of
catching into the city that slides into
contests The New Orleans young SER
has come up from the bayou and
shown Brooklyn some catching OF the
sort the fans have been dreaming
about.
Pitchers Rusty.
True the Brooklyns haven't been
winning very often but that is because
the best pitching staff in the National
league hung out over night ana got
rusty in the ocean mists. When the
pitchers are emery papered and pol
ished up, Brooklyn should do better.
SINNERS of the Giants is not BurEs
but he is helping the Giants III the
fight.
Busted said the world Of the
Yanks when the high commissioner put
Ruth in the detention pen. Busted
nothing retorted the veracious Col
onels, and they went forth and for
aged in Boston and took away two
pitchers and shortstop. Never mind
the pitchers but behold the shortstop.
Scott's superb defensive play has been
keeping the Yanks in the thick of the
pudding.
Don't say that one man can't do
heap for team. No one knows what
the Phillies might have done if Fletch-
er had not come back.
McinnIs Hitting.
Out in Cleveland there is McInnis.
Speaker lured him from Boston where
the Turing is good. McInnis is hitting
like a ball buster. Cleveland looks
pretty good. Some folks said the
Clevelands were stale and never were
going to be in the fight this year One
player enters and the plot changes
The st. Louis Browns gave up a
regiment Of ball players to get Dan
forth. Danforth Immediately holds up
TO HIS EtpuldIloH bt Nlliuiu6. VI tuC
moment the Browns seem to have got
what they wanted. The players think
it has been found. That's half the ar
gument.
Two teams took their players on in
an adult dose. These were Chicago
and Cincinnati and until the teams
assimilate what they've got it won't be
possible to get much of line on them.
Pirates Need Third Baseman.
If the Pirates could pick up a third
baseman who is the equivalent of Groh,
Pittsburgh would be beating the other
tip top class is needed above every
thing.
Then there's the Boston Americans,
another team like Cincinnati and Chi
cago. plugging along trying to establish
itself.
The Boston Nationals haven't arous-
ed They trained slowly. They are
still moving sedately. 1t was the new
waiver rule that gave johnson and
Young to the Athletics. The new waiv-
blt if it means eating less, probably
there would be a gain there.
Under the dressing item. if it in
cludes the bath and short period Of
stretching exercise this certainly
should not be neglected. The amuse-
ment item grows in value accordingly
as. the nine years are spent indoors or
outdoors.
If every reader will check up his
conduct along these lines he will be
readily convinced that the possibility
of lessening the illness item is well
within his bounds of probability
