REUTHERMEETS
HARD-LUCK
J|NX
Brooklyn Pitcher, Working
Under Bonus Contract,
Seems Up Against It.

NEW YORK, May 9.-This
Dutch" Reuther fellow isn't at all
happy. For he's developed into the
tough luck" twirler of the year.
And the sad part of it, from the
Reuther viewpoint, Is that every
victory he achieves beyond fifteen
means added bonus money for him.
Dutch" and his Dodger bosses
had quite time of it coming to
terms this spring. Finally, it was
agreed that Dutch" was to get a
fiat salary no matter what hap
pened and then some bonuses.
Reuther gets no bonus until he
has won fifteen games. After that
he gets bonus for each new tri-
umph, an extra bonus If his total
goes to twenty, and a triple bar.
relied bonus If he should win twenty
five combats.
But luck seems to be against him.
The Dodgers team has been woe
fully weak on attacks this year and
terrible afield. AS a result. Reuther
in his first four starts has won
once, lost twice and pitched tie
game. The added sorrow for
dutch" comes in the reflection
should have won all four games.

Chance Has Hopes OF
Landing Dixie
Babe Ruth

Manager Frank Chance Is
looking around for a successor
to Babe Ruth, and he admits
his eyes may grow dim before
he finds one. just at present
he is looking over ''Babe" Her
man, of the Atlanta team.
who is dubbed the Dixie BAN
on account Of his ability to
connect with and slam ont
home runs.
Herman's long distance hit
ting since joining the Atlanta
team has made him one Of the
most widely discussed batsmen
in the minors. He led the
Western League in 1922 with
q ,416 mark, and acquired the
title of Babe" on account of
his hitting. As
Herman hit four home runs
during his first week IN the
circuit, all tremendous drives.
and critics are picking him to
lead the league in home runs.
The Red Sox have q claim on.
the Southern Lacquer.
