With an almost general shuffling
of pitchers in the A league with
the result that the Flying AS and
Cramers Bakers are without
moundsmen, teams in the league
are settling down for the second
half of the schedule which opens
tomorrow night.
The change sends Gregory of the
AS to the Buttermakers; Cham
bers, former Golden Slater will don
a Fat Boy uniform with Hurst of
the Laundrymen and O'Brien, the
Bother hurler, still at their for
mer posts. The Oilmen and Bak-
erS are expected to acquire the Sc
cassary pitchers before they open
the second half in their game to-
morrow night.
The A league schedule for the
week is as follows: Tuesday, the
Cramer Bakery and Flying A game;
Wednesday, Golden State and Fat
Boys while the Laundry will take
on the Coca Colas on Thursday
This last game will probably be The
best OF the week as IN Two previous

Babe Herman, the dippy one, who

man and can't be shipped to the
minors. Gene Sarazen will play

Joe Mccarthy, just signed to
manage the Yankees for two more
years, never was good enough as a
player TO make the big time, but he
has managed pennant winners In
both major leagues. e. Bill Duffy,
manager of Mickey Walker, has Of
