DAN
SHUNTED To
MEMPHIS

Dangerous DAN McGrew has
failed for the second successive
spring. He is on his way to report
to the Memphis Southern Associa-
ton club. where he will spend the
summer. At the close of the South
ern Association campaign on Labor
Day George Zahniser, a right-hand
hurler. will join the Griffs for a
trial, according to the deal made
between the Griffs and the Chicks
Zahniser won twenty games and
lost twelve for Memphis last season,
being second to Dickerman, now
with Brooklyn. In 269 innings he
allowed 263 hits, 116 runs and
passed II batsmen Eighty-two runs
were earned off him, giving him a
rank of eighth in the long list of
twirlers in his circuit.
In fifty-eight games Zahniser hit
for .273, which stamps him a bit
above the ordinary finger with the
fail. He had six doubles, five tri-
pies and five home runs.
McGrew's careless work against
the Yankees the other day caused
immediate action by Manager Bush.
Players showing little desire to
work hard are not going to remain
long under Bush's charge.

F|ST|C BOUT
ISA DRAW

Urban Shocker and Tyrus Cobb
engaged in a short fistic bout after
the ball game between the Browns
and Tigers.
Cobb walked over to the Browns
dugout, during the game, and
charged Shocker wit.4, insulting him.
Cobb called Shocker several names
and said he'd take drastic action,
or words to that effect, if Shocker
continued his abuse.
Shocker answered in kind and
after the game the two met just
outside the dressing rooms. CooD

Urban pulled away. Cobb started
a right for Shocker's jaw only to
find Billings catching glove where

Shocker landed right flush to.

fight was stopped by members of
the Browns and Tigers.
There was no decision.

Running Down a Put
''Is The Life"
On Links

British golf critics are amazed
at the putting of the American
amateurs in England. Yes,
there is a sensation of amaze
ment in watching a player run
down a long putt.
But the real sensation is ex-
perienced by the player who
runs it down. He feels like
throwing up his cap and cheer
ing his good fortune.
When he throws his putter
into the adjacent county it may
be taken as an indication that
he missed the putt.

makes him so valuable. He knows
all the pitching, left handed or

As far as McManus is concern

his ability to cover first base.
Mac is no Sisler, of course, but
his mechanical ability does not
suffer in comparison to his seven
American League rivals.
He can take the low throws or
the high throws not gracefully, per-
haps, but effectively. He shifts
his feet at the sack like he was
born there. Ground balls or bunts
come naturally, owing to his in:
field experience.
McManus has taken the shift
with smile. It's tough to be
yanked out of your, regular place TO
fill in at a strange assignment, but
there has been no complaint from
the Chicago athlete.
Bob Quinn, in discussing the
switch that sent McManus to first,
recalled that since he has been

always been his greatest problem.
