Close on the heels OF the release
of Hank Deberry by Brooklyn to
the Oakland Club in a deal for a
younger catcher, came the news
late yesterday that another vet
eran, Joe Sewell, had been re-
leased Internationally by the
Cleveland Indians.
The little Cleveland 1nfielder
joins the list Of Deberry, Eddie
Moore, George Sisler, Jack Quinn
and other old-timers who have
been dropped from the big time
circuit since the close Of the 1880
season. And since the minor
leagues have accepted the revised
universal draft as demanded by
the majors-the International
and Three Eye circuits fell in line
Observation-Disclosures are that
other veterans will be released.
Now that the big league clubs will
be able to obtain younger replace
ments, they can afford to let the
old-timerS go.
Only 81
OF course, there are several
major league teams that could use
SewelI. He is only 80 years old,
batted .299 last season and was
topped in the fielding averages
only by McManus, Bluege and
Dykes among the regular Ameri-
can League third baSemen.
But figures, as far as field
ing averages go, do not tell
the story Of SewelTS 1880 rec
ord. Joey was playing on a
dime" and many grOunders
went whiStling past him that
he would have stopped in his
prime.
Sewell completed his first year
in the big leagues under dramatic
circumstances. Joey, just gradu-
ated from the University Of Ala
bama, started the 1920 season
with the New Orleans club. Cleve-
land purchased him late in the
season to- replace Ray Chapman,
who was killed by a ball pitched
by Carl Mays Of the Yankees.
At the age of 81, the untried
rookie was thrown into his first
world series. He came through
with flying colors and was an
important factor in Cleveland'S
victory over Brooklyn that fall.
Hits Hard
Sewell then proceeded to be-
