the ranks of a carnival performer to
cut wide swath in fistic circles, now

sponsored by the Post, the proceeds of
the fight will go toward establishing
Summer camp for local underpriv-
lledged children and their mothers.
Williams ran out of opposition in
the middleWeight division here and
has been forced to fight light-heavy-

Milan was q match for Chapman on
the base paths, or at the plate, he
never saw the day he could handle

Better even than Milan, perhaps,
was Sammy West in his heyday with
the Griffs. Here was a man who

MYERS Error Costly.

JIMMY DE SHONG pitched flawless
ball for six of the eight innings,
In which he faced the Browns. but in
the fourth frame and the seventh the
Hornsby men hoped all over him to
score all of their runs.
An error by Buddy Myer led to
Jimmy's defeat. Given a 10 lead in
the first inning, De Shong was breez-
Ing along with no-hitter until the
fourth. Then boot by Myer on
toss from Cecil Travis paved the way
for the scoring of four unearned runs
The Griffs, after that, never were in
the ball game.
Russ Van Alta started for the
Browns and pitched an A game until
the ninth inning, when he pulled a
ligament in his pitching elbow while
working on Pinch-hitter Johnny Mi
halle. He walked Mihalic and threw
three balls to Jesse Hill before giving
up.
Sheriff Fred Blake was rushed to
the box to relieve him and he escaped
with only one run scored. Travis
and Johnny Stone got five of the Mats
nine hits between them. De Shong
held the Browns to only seven safeties.

Wes to Face White Sox.

THE following year, 1884, Harris
sent him to Kansas City for fur
ther seasoning and there he batted
1923, stole % bases and drove across
86 runs. He was named the most
valuable player in the American As
sociation and returned at the end
of the season to Boston, where he
batted 233.
In 1885, Joe Cronin played him
regularly and he responded with his
.2so average. Last year. used only as
hll-1n, he slumped to 253.
All three of the former Red Soy

MelO "Baby" in Trade.

sCINCE then he's been pushed
- around quite a bit and from what
I've learned in base ball you have
to play fellow every day for quite
a while to find out how good he is.
Let's see-Almada, Lewis, Myer,
Stone, Kuhel and Travis make six
left-handed hitters. Well, anyway,
Mel's going to play every day.
Il don't care if he stacks up against
D few pitchers who make him look
bad. Take fellows with names
guys like Myer and Simmons and
FoxX. If they have bad day. or two
or three days in a row, everybody says.
Well, he's too good ball player to
stay that way
If those fellows can be given the
benefit of the doubt so can a kid
like Almada,'
Melo, one of the few Mexicans to
make good in base ball, is far and
away the youngest Of the five players
whose shift today rocked the Ameri-
can League. He began his profess
sional career at II, breaking in with
Seattle in the Pacific Coast League
and batting for a creditable .311 in
1882. The following year he batted
1923 and was purchased by the Red
Sox.
Harris was managing at Boston
that year and Bucky played Armada
In IA games toward the end of the
1888 season. The kid came through
with .34l average.

AImada Man on Spot "

OF THE three Red sox players who
came in trade for Chapman and
Newsom yesterday, Almada is the
man on the spot. 1t is established
that Rick can catch with the best of
them and as soon as his broken finger
Is completely mended, the elder Fer
rell will step behind the plate and re-
place Shanty Hogan The swap of
pitchers-Wes Ferrell for Newsom-
is close to even. Both win lot of
games and lose lot. But Almada
faces the task of filling the shoes
of one of the best outfelders in the
busineSs-Ben Chapman.
Almada is no Chapman at this
etage of his career but if he comes
close to filling Ben's spiked shoes, the
Nationals undoubtedly will be in a
position to claim the edge on the
trade. And Melo will not lack for op-
portunity. Despite the fact that Al
mazda is a left-handed hitter and is
coming to a club already overstocked
with these kind of hitters. he will
play regularly and bat in the lead
off position.
The boys only played one full sea-
son in the majors" observed Harris,
land that was in 1885. He was 20
years old then and he did a pretty fair
job. I think he batted .290, made
176 base hits, and stole 20 bases.

Socks at Strong Drink

Your correspondent desires to vel. come back an old friend who once favored him with no end of mail but who for many months had beer cruely neglectful. It's the board of temperance, prohibition and public morals of the Methodist Episcopal church, which in prohibi- tion days produced its "clip sheet each week for correspondents here, but which seemed to fold up after there wasn't any prohibition any more.
 Here's the "clip sheet" again. however, and it's entirely devoted to long and learned summary of supreme court decisions in cases having to do with strong drink. It seems the court from away back has taken sock at strong drink every time 1t had the chance. Tn these days when the supreme court is beleaguered by the forces of MT. Roosevelt, the big repeal man of four years ago, the Methodist board comes stall wartly to the defense of an old ally.
 Of course the nation ha- gone wet again and your guess is as good as mine as to whether the board is going to do the opponents of the presidents court plan more good than harm.
