Medtcick Unhappy Z.

Joe Medwick, st. Louis Cardinal
outfielder who won the National
league batting championship and
most valuable player award in 1887
is unhappy with the Cardinals this
year, and he is anxious TO have a
change of scenery.
AT the present time Brooklyn
would be interested in landing the
Cardinal outfielder and there is an
excellent chance that Medwick will
be sold to the Flatbushers.
Medwick, if he should become sat
isfied on the Brooklyn nine, would
make the Dodgers serious pennant
contender Medwick is a $40 hitter
and is dangerous in the clutches
His booming bat would increase the
power of Brooklyn sufficiently to
make Durocher's boys a mighty
tough club.

OutfieIders

And while we're speaking of out
fielders, let's take a look at the
valleys professional baseball star,
Robert Elliott who this year is play
ing with Toronto of the Information
al league.
Elliott is clouting above the 300
mark with Toronto, leads his team
in runs batted in and is fielding
as well as any other garden patrol
man in the league.
Bob, who played baseball with El
Centro high in 81, 80, SO and "a,
is the property of the Pittsburgh
Pirates and may find himself in
the big time next year. The Waner
brothers are slowing up and a
youngster will be chosen to fill the
gap. 1t may be BIB Elliott.
Still More Fielders ;.
In valley softball there is good
crop of outfielders. There's Web
ster, Porte, Ritter, Ehmke, Aaron
and Black to choose from, but up
In Brawley there's youngster
who has them all backed off the
map defensively.
It's Jack Fleming, Brawley jul
nior college student, and he can
field with any softball fly chaser
this writer has seen.
Fleming has that knack, peculiar
10 good oufielders, which sends him
after the ball at the crack of the
bat. He literally fades under the
ball and makes even the toughest
catches look easy.
