Reversing the Gust airy
transition in baseball, Jimmy
Dykes, Connie Mack's all-around
infielder, wishes to try his hand
at pitching. Jimmy, be it
known, has something of a curve
and a fast ball that is not to
be grinned at. Whether or not
Dykes ambition will be achieved
depends on who Mack can find
to hold down the first sack.
The list of baseball greats
who have commenced their
careers in the pitchers box and
migrated to other departments
of the game is long, long one
and is headed by none other
than Babe Ruth, and includes,
among others, such names as
our own Sammy Rice, George
Sisler, Rogers Bresnahan, Cy
Seymour and enough others to

baseball was ever as wild as

who have moved to the center
of the diamond after having
started elsewhere.
Dave Bancroft is given credit
for having made a pitcher out
of Bob Smith, who was origin
ally an infielder; but before
Banny did that he fell down
completely in his attempt to
make a second baseman out of
Red Lucas, the Cincinnati
pitcher, who still goes to other
parts of the diamond when oc-
casion demands. Like Jimmy
Dykes, Smith boasted speed and
a good-breaking ball when he
first started to pitch. He has
since developed the latter into
one of the best hooks in the
league.
Too, some of the credit for
developing Smith belongs to
Dick Rudolph, whose name has
been banded about considerably
in discussions of a possible sue
cessor to Bancroft. Dick worked
hard and long with Smith, i'm
parting to him much of his,
Rudolph's, natural smartness on
the mound and teaching him
many of the tricks about the
art of pitching.
However, before Connie Mack
can turn Dykes loose to follow
this bent of his, he must plug
up that gap at first. Joe
Hauser is expected back from
the American Association, and
there may be something, after
all, to the persistent rumor
which has been going the
rounds to the effect George
Sisler is headed for Philadelphia
via some sort of trade or
other.
In that professional golfers
championship down at Dallas,
it looks like Hagen will have to

Johnny Farrell and our own
Tommy Armour. Cooper has
been going good all summer
as his tie with Armour before
the Open was decided indicates.
Armour is one of the best
match players. in the country
particularly when the stakes are
worth while. Sarazen has
beaten Hagen often enough to
know that it can be done again
and we shouldn't be surprised
to see one Of this latter trio
step upon Mr.. Hagen's ambi-
tions to retain the title.
But "Hagen" is a mighty

PHONE EXCHANGE
"DECATUR" OPENS
New Branch at Fourteenth and r
Streets to Relieve North
west Congestion.

To relieve the rush of telephone
calls from the area now served by
the North Potomac central office, the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone co.
has Just placed in service a new eX-
change known as Decatur"
This new exchange, the eleventh.
was made necessary by the increased
business in the thickly populated
northwest section. The Decatur"
office is being used as relieving
unit of the North-Potomac central
office and is starting with 275 tele-
phones connected with its switch
board.
Another indication of the growth
of telephone service in recent years
is the new Georgia" exchange build
ing now under construction at Georgia
avenue and Gallitan street. When
completed in the Fall, this new ex-
change will have cost about 100000
and will greatly facilitate service in
that suburban area.
The Decatur" exchange has been
installed in the building of the COM
pany at Fourteenth and r streets.
The installation of this orth-Potomac
office. which consists of 36 operators
of local switchboard equipped for
$3.50 lines and Ia positions of trunk
board, involved an expenditure OF
more than $4,000.
There are now $4,000 telephones
served by the Washington central
offices, according to Charles T. Clag-
ett, general commercial superinterd-
ent of the company. OF these, $500
have been added to the system since
January 1.
Decatur" honors the memory of
Admiral Stephen Decatur, who was
one of the heroes of the War of 1912,
and whose residence still stands on
the corner of H street and Jackson
