(RY BILLY ENANSl

Orlando. March 24.-When dev- ing into the mysteries Of the national pastime, Pitcher Carl Mays offers a most interesting case for the base. ball Sherlock Holmes.
 Three years ago Manager Miller Huggins of the Yankees decided that Mays was about through as a pitcher. He starred in the 1921 world series with the Giants, then appeared to pass out of the picture.
 For two seasons he did little more than warm the Yankee bench, He seldom started game and when he did the breaks invariably went against him.
 Speed Seemed Gone
 Mays, who for years had been a pitching sensation in the American league as well as a stormy petrel in that organization. seemed to have lost his fast ball.
 The possessor of a great fast ball when at the peak of his fame, the loss or apparent loss of his one best bet, made things look bad.
 A glutton for work, sitting on the bench, breeding over his game, didn't tend to increase his efficiency CT temperament. When pitching his best. Mays always worked every third day sometimes oftenet.
 One year ago the New York American League club claimed him. The waivers were sent to the Ma ttonal and ,rumor has it that Gin ctnnati alone put in a bid for his services.
 Jeskll-Hyde Stun
 Then came the. pr. Jeykll- Mir. Hyde stuff. Claimed by only one major league club, Mays had one of the best years of his career for the Reds last season.
 Today Mays looks in far better shape than he did five years ago when starring for the Yankees. Physically he Is drawn fine and the season is still weeks away.
 Unpleasant working conditions and failure to be used regularly, is the way Mays explains his inability 10 win his last two years he was in the American league.
 T never could pitch sitting on the bench" says Mays. T need plenty of work"
 "One of the beat pitchers in the National League" says Manager Jack Hendricks.
 Did Splendid Work
 This stuff about him being bad actor is big laugh to me. I never had more willing player on my ball club.
 He not only worked out of turn all season. but was always ready when needed a pinch. pitcher.
 His fine work last season tended 10 tide over some of the disappont- ing features, There is no reason why he shouldn't have another big year"
 Mays says he intends to stick around in the biz show for at least three more years maybe five.

In Realty Deals

j. r. Gabbert, state real estate
commissioner, who spent Saturday
in Imperial Valley looking after
matters connected with his office
stated that one of the most impor-
tant matters for the public to have
in mind is the seriousness of accept.
ing commissions on the part of per.
sons who arc not licensed under the

view for the Press he said in part:
" No person other than licensed
broker, has ii right to accept Il com.
mission or other compensation for
helping to close a real estate deal
In fact, the law is very specific on
this subject and any person convict,
ed of accepting such commission or
compensation is liable to a $500 fine
and Jail sentence.
The commissioner has just com
plcted a two weeks tour of Cali.
