game for Chattanooga against At lanta instead of 2-3 innings one day when he was a bit wild he might have exceeded the major league record for generosity. The former Yankee walked ten Crack CTS in his tour of duty and the record for the majors stands at 16, shared by four pitchers over a period from 1887 to 1915. Bruno Haas of the Athletics was the last pitcher to walk 16 in one game. June 23, 1915. William George of the New York Nationals was the first, May 30 1887. This feat was made in the morning. but the next month George Van Haltren of the Chicago Nationals tied it in the afternoon. Beall was not charged with defeat at Chatta- nooga, however, for the Lookouts won the game. 10 to 9, after he had resigned for the day. His two successors were content to is- sue one pass each. The oppos- ing pitchers also did some wild flinging, dividing six passed into three parts.

WHERE ARE THE GIANTS OF YESTERYEAR?

Where do the Giants go when they get through playing baseball for John J. McGraw and the New York entry in the National league? Many of them go to Toledo. Casey Stengel. who was once a Giant looks with favor on the New York cast-offs and has 14 on his To- ledo payroll. The former Giants include Koehler, Fullis, Jes s Barnes, Ryan. O'Neil, Huntzinger, Rawlins, Scott, Hamby, McNamara, Palmero, Crawford and Mueller. Caser himself makes it 15, more players than many a good base ball team can call to arms. Some of these athletes are farmed to the American Association club and will be recalled Fullis, an outfielder and Crawford, who can play almost anywhere, will get an- other chance, and perhaps some of the others. With all this array of talent Toledo has not been able to make it's presence felt to any extent in the 1928 race. The champion of 1927 is not likely to repeat as it's best for the current edition of the race is to hover in about 300 per cent, far from enough to register ultimate vic tory.

CROQUET GAME
 Tn!ES COMEBACK
 IN NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 24.-Pro- fessional men, their wives and children have joined forces with the average citizen" and his fam fly in aiding croquet to stage T comeback in the world of sport.
 Each afternoon, Sunday included, finds dozens of devotees of the game at Palmer Park here and the click of mallet against the wooden ball is heard through day light hours.
 Charles w. Williams, reviewing appraisers of the Federal Land Bank, revived the game in New Orleans. He sees in it an ideal sport for the business man.
 There is no other game to equal croquet," Mr Williams declares. In the first place it takes real brainwork in engineering your play. Golf has the wrong hours for busy men with little leisure. Few men can take the entire af- ternoon or morning away from their office. Croquet, in comparl- son, allows plenty of good exer- else with from one to three hours play after the days work is done
 "Croquet is a fascinating game. It doesn't matter what else you do or what your hobby is, if you start playing croquet, you will drop all other sports and play nothing but that"

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 24.--Bie league clubs don't always have the advantages in trades with small teams. Witness the case of the Minneapolis club of the American Association
 The first months play of the 1928 season in addition to prov ing that the Millers were sec ond division outfit revealed that the club had three outstanding young stars. Major league scouts promptly began buzzing about the club.
 Manager Mike Kelley traded one of his stars, Catcher Eddie Ken ma, to Washington for a catcher, a pitcher and an infielder and when the Senators also expressed an interest in Pitcher Adolph Liska and Outfielder Spencer Harris. Kelley indicated he might talk business later, providing Washing ton would help him out with some more of it's surplus talent. The Senators came through with anoth- CT infielder and another pitcher. meanwhile permitting the Millers to retain Liska and Harris.
 So, for one player and an op- ton on two others, the Millers got five Washington men, picking up enough strength to grab second place and become a strong pen- nant contender. .@i -s'' .isxylH
 Minneapolis through this shrewd bit of business acquired Pitchers Van Alstyne and Lisenbee, h. fielders Gillis and Hayes and Catcher McMullen.
 The Senators will have to wait until the close of the American Association season for their full share of the bargaining. Then, it is assumed. they will receive Har- ris and Liska.
 Liska, scarcely 21, had won Is games and lost only four games by the middle of August. He is right handler with a peculiar under-handed delivery. The Mil lers bought him last fall from the Burlington club of the Missis- sippi Valley League.
 Harris, a left-handed batter, came to the Millers last spring from Shreveport of the Southern Association. Shreveport obtained Sox who gave him brief tryout Harris from the Chicago White two years ago. Harris has hit around 90 home runs t6 lead the league. He has been hitting bet ter than 1920 all season.

TY COBB WAS A GOOD BASE RUNNER TOO

There are base runners on the 300 boys baseball teams playing in the American Legion sponsored circuit in Greater New York and then there is Resnick. unidentified by first name in the box scores of the Junior Giants, but well-known to opposing catchers. Resnik who aided the Giants in defeating the New Yorks 26 to stole 12 bases in the game. It was observed by spectators at the contest. played in Hamilton Fish Park, that Res nick was running more or less wild, but the full extent of his larceny was not apparent until the box score was checked, when American Legion officials found that he had made a record. The major league mark for all time for stolen bases by one player in single game is seven, dating back to the 90's. Eddie Collins holds the modern record at six A dozen major league baseball stars have donated trophies for leaders in the several fields of baseball endeavor to be competed for by 5000 youngsters playing in the American Legion tests in Greater New York. Hazen Guy Ter has offered cup for the lead ing base runner. The winner probably will have to do some thing to stop Resnick.
