Shaute should be called the south
paw of the iron arm. Whenever
Cleveland wants to win a ball game
they call on Shaute. And whenever
Cleveland wants to save a game that
somebody else has thrown away they
call on Shaute. Wher he began the
year Shaute WAS not very fortunate
and there were noubters who figured
that Speaker was wrong in thinking
Shaute was better pitcher than first
baseman.
It's the other way now. None of
them says much about Shaute except
to pun his name and remark that he
shoots" the whole works for C1eve-
land. If Edwards. the other c1eve-
land southpaw, had come through this
year as Shaute has Cleveland would
have been Hopping around in the
prize basket with Detroit, New York
and Washington.
winning more games this year than
any left-hand pitcher in base ball
Onhand 1t looks to be q toss-up be-
tween him and Pennock of the Yanks.
Smith of the Clevelands is doing
we'll this year, and Speaker has had
enough work out of him to pay him
for taking the veteran southpaw
from Brooklyn. He does not seem
likely to win as many games as the
agile Shaute. But he probably will
finish to the right side of 500, and
any pitcher who works plentifuIiy
and finishes with 500 has earned his
pay.
The National League is not one
third SO left-handed as the American.
One year the National was pretty
much southpaw. but, take it year in
and year out, it has been more of
ght-handed than left-handed
league.

not believe that we were unfair to any

no thought Of minimizing the value of
