Cleveland Indians and a young man
named Wesley Terrell.
Terrell Is hot on the trail Of Is
victories this year, his second year
In the majors. He is the answer to
the question of what's holding
Cleveland up there in the first di-
vision with only one winning pitch
er ON the club. He has beaten ev-
cry team in the league and dotes on
Furnishing the Athletics.
A Bargain
Last year he won q games for
the Indians in his first year in the
majors, and I understand his pay
envelope contained only $4,000. At
ter the season closed. young MI.
Terrell became most obdurate on
the subject Of stipend.
IF I can win 20 games, / ought
to be worth five times that much
money" he told himself and Billy
Evans, business manager OF the
Cleveland club. Evans, however,
tsk-tsked the youths ambitious de-
mands, countering with the time
honored argument that M year IN
fast company proves no mans
worth.
Il will win % games this year"
young Mr.. Terrell told KingflSh
Evans. II begins TO appear that
Terrell will make good his forecast.
Which puts Mr.. Evans in line for
some serious thinking.
Mr.. Terrell no doubt will be
--4---- -~t&A a. IT, that -
ought TO collect somewhere in the
region OF Is grands for the season
OF 1881. He struck out Babe Ruth
three times in a recent game IN
New York, and Mr.. Ruth, you
know, gets 10000 a year for that
kind Of effort.
whitehilTs String
After winning IL straight games,
beating every team IN the Ameri-
can league except the st. Louis
Browns, Earl Whitehill finally was
stopped by the lowly st. LouiSans.
The catch in that one is that Bucky
Harris gave his star southpaw an
extra day of rest TO let him face the
Browns at home. instead Of pitch
ing to the Athletics in Philadelphia.
Bucky thought Whitehill would
have a better chance to prolong
his winning stresf by working or
the Browns than If he started
against the Mackmen. But the
Browns suddenly became most saw
age and snapped Earls streak by
q 5 TO 4 score

Garros was said to be violently
partisan. . but that's not strange
IN the light OF the American gal

Before WhitehiIl started or his
amazing string, he had come 10 be

ing nine out Of his first II efforts.
Uncle Frank Navin had offered him
to this one and that around
the league in exchange for a good
five-cent cigar.
Then suddenly the young man
boldly beat the Athletics. Five days
later he gave the White Sox four
hits. They sent him In against
washington next and he smacked
the Senators, 3 to 2.
From then on it appeared that
Whitehill didn't know when to
quit pitching. Until the Browns
came TO town and spoiled every
thing.
