out this summer and clubs, with pro-

Big Leaguers Pay Fat

Ex-pitcher.

NEw YORK, Aug. 1.-They used
20 pvt Lefty" O'Doul in as a pinch
bittsr occasionally, but they never
thought of the young pitcher as any
thing but a pitcher.
And when he failed to make the
pitching grade they let him go.
Now he's coming back from the
minors TO the New York Yankees as
an outfielder.
SENSATION ON COAST.
That's the dope from the Pacific
Coast, where o'Doul has been the
hitting and fielding sensation of the
Salt Lake City outfield.
O'Doul showed promise as young
nitcher with the Yanks and with
Boston, but he was one Of these chaps

The two players will set the New
Workers back some $4,000, it is
said.
CAN'T GET HIM OUT.
Lefty o'Doul developed into one
of the great sluggers of Coast League
history. and a brilliant fielder. H!s
most notable recent feat was max
ing six hits in six times at bat on two
days in succession. He had sixteen
hits in eighteen times up.
Salt Lake City last season sent
another former pitcher to the big
show as an outfielder, Paul Strand
who tried and failed with the Phlia-
del;,hia Athletics after leading the
Coast League hitters. Strand was
with the Boston Braves as pitcher
when the Braves made their great
dash for the top and worlds series
