GETS NEW SPIRIT
AS ARM IS CURED
Gameness Shown in Defeat
of AS Although He Has
to Be Relieved.
RY JOHN B. KELLER.

@HILADELPH1A. April 24-Won-
- der if a sore arm tears the
heart out of pitcher? 1t
wasn't so long ago that the
boys around the American League
we're saying that Bump Hadiey was
all washed out, that he didn't have
the will to win.
Then this Spring Bump discovered
his pitching arm had been ailing him
for wears. He had it doctored and
the doctoring made a new Hadley.
The arm got all right. and what is
more, so did Bumps spirit. Certainly
there is no gamer pitcher in the
American League today than Hadley,
the chunky chucker brought back to
the Nationals from the Browns.
Hadley proved this Yesterday to the
satisfaction of the 1098l paid and
some 500 deadhead patrons who sat
by in Shibe Park while the pitcher
made Philadelphia American League
season inaugural no round of JOY for
the Athletics.
Bump found the AS rough play
mates. They pecked away at him In
disturbing manner. but more often
than not his gameness got him out of
dangerous situations. When he got
into trouble he pitched himself out
Of 1t in a way unlike any followed by
the Hadley of other years.

and the cops can toss away their
ticket books.
Bill Parish, the G. w. u. gridiron
star. is still another collegian who has
joined the Aggie ranks and is making
strong bic for one of the garden
positions. His speed and power can
not be overlooked and Pryor feels con-
fident he can buff his fielding up TO
high polish.
These few named serve to convey
an idea of the type of team Agricul-
ture will be sending out to battle the
other four clubs in this particular
league and they will have to play
ball = it's fast company! The Navy
Department, Office of the Controller
of the Currency. Civil Service Com

Red Sox Win Again.
BY HERBERT W. BARKER.


THE Brooklyn Dodgers, erstwhile
dizziness boys of the National

childish things as stealing
already occupied bases and cutting
legitimate home runs to singles by
failing TO touch base or two or pass

They're tending strictly to their.
base ball knitting, winning games by
hard, timely smuggling, especially by
Danny Taylor. Linus Frey, Sam Leslie
and Joe Strip and sharp. clean field
