Salt Lake Club Gives
Up It's Home And
Wanders

A brand-new situation has de-
veloped in baseball on the coast.
The Salt Lake club has been
losing so much money that it
has pulled up stakes and left
its home flat. The club is now
wandering around among the
cities on the coast, playing here,
there and everywhere. The club
appealed to the chamber Of
commerce for q guarantee of
$500 a week, but the sugges-
ton was not received with much
favor. Duffy Lewis, the former
Griffman, is still with the club
and is hitting somewhere around
400. It is doubtful If the home
less club will be able to finish
out the season.

The Sydney Referee says about
the fight:
Nothing like the fifth round
between Bradley and Collins has
been seen in Sydney for many
years. It was packed from start
to finish with extraordinary pug
nacity. Archie Bradley il known
as the toughest Of the tough-no
drawing-rOom boxer. But in that
round he found his match ip
gameness, toughness, combative-
ness, and his superior in placing
and timing punches.
@For the next ten rounds the
fight went on with It's thrills, and
with Bradley being outstayed. A
clean clip on the chin put him
down for three, but after further
punishment the referee closed
the chapter by crowning Collins
when the towel was hOisted. Brad
ley wobbled as he went to his
corner very game, and the cheers
which had been invessant, thun-
dered out anew.

And now want to tell yOu
something Omefhtng that you
haven't heard or read: Get ready
to SEQ or read of George SisIer
taking a fling in tho pitchers
box.
The Browns have been having q
lot Of trouble with their pitchers.
George, you know, was q pitcher
when he first came up TO the big
leagues from tho University of
Michigan. In fact Branch hickey
predicted he would be great
pitcher. Hickey, now manager Of
the st. Louis Cardinals, was Sis
ler's coach at college.
Sisler was tried in the outfieLl
and at first base and was such a
sensation that he was finally COM
PEELED to settle down at first base,
where his great hitting and field.
ing could be used every day. What
OF course, is on the records
He naturally feels disappointed
because he isn't hitting 400, and 90
he intends to test out his arm and
see If he cant help his team an. o
pitcher. He doesn't mean to get
out there and take a regular turn
as a pitcher. His idea Is at first
to go in there for a few innings az
a relief pitcher, and after he has
done this q few times take q crack,
maybe, at regular pitching.
In other words ne wants to see
II his pitching arm Is what &c was
some years agO--and that, too, is
quite q problem. Nobody can
stop pitching and then take it up
again without going through q
long building.up session. / think
know what I'm talking about,
because i started out as 3 pitcher
myself. In fact, I'm rs proud Of
the fact that l once struck out
Ty Cobb, Sam Crawford and
Bobby Veach In succession with
the basses flied and none out In
the ninth inning Of q O.tO-O game
IS i am OF my home rum record.
So I'm looking forward to the
time when George Sisler goes back
to the pitching box with a lot of
interest. And, by George, I hope
I'm the first one he has to face
and that he strikes me out. There's
a man, great fellow and a swell
character for you--that Sisler, and
I'll always pull for him and fellows
like him.
But somehow 4 feel 1t will take
him more than a few games or part
OF one season to get his pitching
arm in. shape. Pitching arms are
mighty delicate things. And vet /
have an idea that George win do
lot better than some of the
pitchers he has, even though he
hasn't done any pitching OF late.
Wait-and you'll see.
