BY GAYLE TALBOT.
Associated Press Sports Writer

Almost any day now, Wesley
Terrell is likely TO discover that he
has batted himself right out Of his
present job with the Cleveland
Indians. With every passing week
il becomes more apparent he never
was cut out to be a pitcher.
It's quite true the young right
handler rang up IS victories last
year and already has scored Is this
season, but that doesn't alter the
fact that he has been more or less
wasting his time. His real career
seems TO lie on the other end OF the
firing line.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-09-01
Among the Best

Through yesterday games Terrell
was hitting a rare 1853, an average
topped only by two American league
players who have participated in as
many games as he has this season.
They are Al Simmons and Babe
Ruth. Appearing in AZ games. many
times as a pinch hitter. he has
pounded eight homeruns. SIX dou-
blci and a triple and batted in q
runs.
Valuable as is his pitching arm
to the Cleveland cause. it would
not be surprising to see the Indians
shift him to a regular outfield post
in order TO get the daily r-nefits
OF his big bat. There are the shin
ing examples Of Babe Ruth and
Lefty ODoul who deserted the
mound for the more lucrative
gardens. Terrell would not require
II re than a passing glance at their

EXCESS acid is the common cause
of Indigestion. 1t results in pain and
sourness about two hours after eat
ing. The quick corrective is an alkali
which neutralizes acid. The best
corrective is Phillips Milk of Mag
nesia. 1t has remained standard with
physicians in the so years since its
invention.
One spoonful of Phillips Milk Of
Magnesia neutralizes instantly many
times it's volume in acid. Harmless,
and tasteless, and yet its action is
quick. You will never rely on crude
methods, once you learn how quickly
this method acts. Be sure to get

TRAVELLER TAKES
NO CHANCES ON
BEING ROBBED

Listed in the sheriff's reports as
an attempted holdup is the report
made by Herbert Wilson of Bakers
field today that :"o men in a coupe
attempted to force him from the
highway just north of Imperial at
1920 this morning, speeding away
when he fired a revolver in the
air.
Following the occurrance on the
highway, Wilson reported, an Off
Ger and the two men stopped him
in Imperial, and asked for an ex-
planation of his shot. Wilson told
the officer he thought the men were
attempting to hold him up, and
was released. Names of the two
men were not obtained.
Wilson was driving from Bakers
field to Stafford, Arizona, with his
mother. Just north of Imperial the
coupe, two men in it, passed him
and slowed down. Wilson passed
the coupe, when it speeded up and
passed him again, trying to force
him from the highway, according
to his report, Wilson fired into the
air, and the coupe sped away.
Driving on into Imperial, Wilson
