Better This Year
Early this spring, the experts were
saying that the Cincinnati ace
couldn't come near to his 1888 rec
ord Of 27 games won. Walters has
smilingly made them eat those
words, Last season at this time he
had won six and lost four. He is
much better this year and every
fourth day the Reds go out on the
field, Bucky has brought in the
bacon.
With Paul Derrirger not up to
last years form and Johnny Wander
Meer's fireball not wen smoking,
the burden of the Reds pitching 1t
seems will be on Walters and Junior
THOMPSON, who is doing even bet
ter than last year.
The Reds are hot and Mckechnle
sorely wants to beat them DAM
yanks next time"
Athletics Infield
For a six-year span back IN 1909
through 1914, Connie Mack had what
was commonly known as the $780,
900 infield, composed of Stufty Nc
Innis, Eddie Collins, Jack Barry
and J. Franklin Baker. The quartet
won him four pennants and three
world championships,
But the experts are saying that
Mack has a young infield today, one
that cost S145, 900, that is more valu-
able than the 500, 600 aggregation.
Back then Collins and Barry cost
nothing more than railroad lckets
and McInnis anad Baker came up
from the minors with a price tag
of $500 each. OF the present day
infield, Benny Mccoy cost $4,000
and Mack and the experts say he
is worth every penny OF 1t. Dick
Siebert, first baseman, Bill Lillard,
shortstop, and Al Rubeling, third
baseman, who cost $4,000 apiece, are
all young and should improve with
the years.
With that quartet with him Mack
now only wishes he had some pitch
ing. He would show the rest Of the
League something then.
Here And There
Rain had plagued the scheduled
games of the Wilmington Pirates SO
much this year that Bert Kite IS
thinking strongly of joining hands
with Weatherman Paul Hess to see
what can be done about it -. Old
Carl Hubbell, who told everyone that
he was coming back this season,
came within an inch of pitching
his second no-hitter yesterday when
he shutout Brooklyn Z to 0 with but
one single AS it was only II
men faced him in the opening game.
...A party from Greensboro and
Raleigh will place the pigeons into
practice Saturday morning when
they go out TO Frying Pan Shoals
on a fishing trip -. The carriers
will take the story of how many
they caught and how big, includ-
ing the one that got away, back
home 80. The adage in baseball OF
how some times a pickup is bet
ter than a stickup is proving true
this year in the majors Some
of the high-priced young players
are back in the bush leagues while
a castolf from some other club or
a player secured for almost moth
ing is helping the cause for more
than one outfit.

SMOKE RINGS
Walters The Star
By SAM Raglan

Bucky Walters doesn't have to go out for pre-game
practice now. He's a star and baseball stars have the prlvl-
lege of loling in the dressing room until it's time to come
out and throw the first one over the plate.
And the lean and lanky Bucky, who goes about the
business of winning ball games without much fanfare, has
so far this season fully justified that tag. To date he has
won eight games and lost none.

 House Has
 Been Built

HOUSTON, Tex, April 24.-The home of MT. and Mrs. H. P Teague is a geologist's deam. It is built of petrified wood and trimmed with stones from every state in the union except North Carolina, as well as France Germany, En- gland, Belgium, Mexico and the South Seas.
 Teague said he was determined to build a home different and original. We decided on a stone house and began gathering odd lAcks with which to trim it. Friends learned of our hobby and soon we had garage full of rocks.
 One summer we ran across a petrified wood dealer in Stephen vile, Tex, and decided that a house built of that material would be the answer to our problem"
 The Teagues will receive stones from persons who have heard of the unique home. They hope some day to receive one from North Carolina.
