WHITEHILL AMBITIOUS

r-=1ANAGER MORIARTY OF the
I'M Detroit Tigers seems to think
w this is Southpaw Earl
Whitehill's year.
Joining the Tigers three years ago,
Earl pitched fine ball from his very
debut and now has a record that
shows fifteen more victories than
defeats covering his big league
career.
A constant improvement in his
style, a move that now holds the
runners close to the bases, and a
better fast ball, due to added pound
age, make Whitehill a highly ca
pable performer. He has always
boosted an excellent curve.
1t is Whitehill's ambition to
break into the select list of ma
jor league pitchers who have won
twenty or more games. In 1924
he won seventeen, while last year
he captured sixteen victories.
