Pitching recruits are 80 few that
it is even difficult to get enough to

would enable Bush to sort out two

this has not been possible. OF course

he will require considerable support.

stay here he has worked carefully

that he is travelling east to land

his joints.
O'Connell. however. is hardly likely
ever to make a second Babe Ruth.
Those who are curious about this boy,
who did so well in California and for
whom so much was paid. must not
expect a hitter of the Ruth type. The
drive from the shoulders, which has
made Ruth the long distance cham
Dion of all time, is missing from
O'Connell. If the old timers would
like to know the man he most resem-
bles when he stands at the plate they
can hark back a few years and think
of Sam Thompson.
There isn't enough modification in
the Giants as they are today and

think of referring to them except as

BY SOAP BOX ORATOR

MONTGOMERY. Ala, March 26-
A soap box" address in the center
of the grandstand during the Phil
adelphia American Rochester ball
game here yesterday came near
emptying the stand of spectators. A
fan was ejectd by a policeman for al
legged abusiveness toward Athletic
players, whereupon two of his friends
arose on the grandstand and. in pas
stonate language. urged the fans to
leave, appealing for free speech"
claiming that the man had a right to
root in his own way. They denied
he was abusive toward the players.
1t was understood the trouble came
about when Connie Mack, manager of
the Athletics, sent note to the fan,
appealing to him to Save his loud
