reco nm endation. The second is
the scenic opulence of that re-

the altitude and therefore the
grandeur of the Great Smoky

Supreme, however, are its
claims of historic interest, re-

comparative neglect. For it was
the scene of one of the epocllal
adventures in early American
history. the very birthplace OF
the imperial impulse which led a

resentative Thomas w. Harrison,
of the Seventh District. in which
the proposed Shenandoah Nation

the delicate situation that has
arisen over the threats of
Tennessee and North Carolina to
fight the Virginia location, is
working towards bringing about
harmony in the park fight.

MILWAUKEE,, June II. Dennis
Gearin and Ray Lingrel, two Of NIL
waukee's best beavers, are carrying
on a rather warm filtration with
the Midwest League today and the
prospects are that both will hop to
the outlaws unless the Milwaukee
club owners move to pacify the dis.
satisfied athletes.
Gearin, II appears. does not want

ing conditions, while Lingrel is en-
tirely upset at the manner in which
his late joust with Happ Morse and
Nick Allen OF the Saints was han.
died. Lingrel has sought repeated
ly to sever his connections with the
Milwaukee club, but has failed to
date. This season he demonstrated
his real ability as a pitcher and, if
he so desires, Lingrel will not find
1t difficult in placing with one or
other Of the Midwest clubs. Both
athletes have had several confer
ences with the Midwest officials and
the contemplated dive from organ
lied baseball will be taken shortly.
Lingrel at present IL under In

PLAYER LIMIT RAISED
THROUGH MEALS WORK

LOUISVILLE, June 1l.-Through
the efforts Of Captain William Neal.
OF the Louisville Club, the PLAYER
limit in the American Association
has been raised from eighteen to
twenty men. The limit formerly
was twenty, but was reduced to
eighteen at the winter meeting Of
the association when Neal wasn't in
attendance.
The more virile club owners felt
that a mistake had been made and
at the solicitation of Captain Neal,
President Hickey took a mail vote
on the proposal to return the
player limit to twenty men, The
success Of this vote was announced
by Mr.. Hickey.

Reds Flash Says Bad Record
With As Due to
Support

The mystery behind the success
this season Of Tom Sheehan, once
a great failure with the Athletics,
Is no mystery at all, in Toms
own opinion.
Sheehan has been burning them
up for the Cincinnati Reds, and lie
reckoned as one Of the three best
pitchers IN the National League this
season.
When he was with the Macks he
was worthless. 20 put the facts

letics. II had come to the team
in 1918. stayed IN 1915. That's
how good ! went.
II was Just, as good, a pitcher
then as am now, too. There was
nothing unusual about my coming
back. I think the reason I lost so
many was that had a terrible club
behind me. It would have been
hard for anybody to win under the
same circumstances.
Connie Mack recalls Of Sheehan
that he had an unhappy faculty Of
blowing UP after getting two strikes
on the batters. When it seemed
he had the batter in q big hole,
he would 60 to pieces.
II was wild as a goat in those
days." said Sheehan. at know l

was to 1t. Then I left them and
went into the army in 1917.
Ever since l came out in 1918
have been able to win. l have
gone better since leaving the army.
When Sheehan returned to base
ball in 1918. he was with the At
lanta team of the Southern Asso-
citation. He stayed there until 1920,
and then had a tryout with the
Yankees In 1921. The former Mack
hurler was then shifted to st. Paul,
in the American Association.
He remained there until the Reds
brought him up again. The move
was tustifiable. as his showing has
proved. 6heehan has, been one Of
the best winners In the circuit.

Combs, tho Yankee recruit from

has played in only one complete
game. Wilson, the stocky Giant

Prothro, the new Washinason
third baseman, is doing very well,
while Grigsby has added speed to
the Cub outfield. WhitehiIl, the
