BY Jne ASSOCldIeu SIeSS.
Murry Dickson, the right-hander
who played big part in Columbus
sensational climb in the American
Association last year, apparently has
lost none of his cunning.
Nor, for that matter, have his Red
Bird teammates lost the spark that
carried them to 43 "ictories in so
starts at the tail end of the 1910
campaign and second place behind
Kansas City.
Yesterday they combined their
efforts to give Columbus a 6-to-3
triumph over st. Paul as the asso-
ciation's 40th pennant race began.
Dickson went the route and al
lowed seven hits.

in 1887 and began justifying the
praise of those scouts who had
bounded him. He hit 1853 to lead
the league and was named the No. l
player in the minor leagues by the
Sporting News, bible of the baseball
industry.
In 1888 Keller was instructed to
polish his fielding, to concentrate on
that rather than hitting. He hit
1865 that year and was rewarded
with an outfelding job with the
Yankees in 1899. He proceeded to
belt a laudable 1874 his first year up
and in the World Series he estab-
ished himself as quite guy in the
clutch.
Keller poked a double. triple and
three home runs, much to the cha
grin of the Cincinnati Reds, hitting
.438 in the four-game series.
Gets Going Against AS.
Charley collapsed with the other
Yankees last year, tapering off to
mark of .286, but this season he's
stamped as the fellow who will press

batting honors. He was away to
slow start after a spectacular spring
training socking display, but he 10
Gated the range with four hits
against the Athletics yesterday and
henceforth he'll be handled with
caution by opposing pitchers.
Charley hasn't many flaws, either
extensively or defensively, but he's
inclined to fret too much when he
isn't hitting. He is upset easily, but
now apparently has little to worry
him. He has been promoted to the
No. 3 spot in the New York batting
order. That, you remember, was the
spot held so firmly by Babe Ruth
when he was basebalrs most famous
figure.
Keller never will approach the
popularity of the rotund Mr.. Ruth,
but thus far he's done a pretty fair
job of following his footsteps.

In the comparatively short span
since he entered the University of
Maryland as a friendly. but rather
homely and somewhat summed
freshman in 1888, hairy, tank
chested Charley Keller has vaulted
into a prominent position on the
baseball globe.
Charley now is a transformed
fellow. Gone are the corduroy
slacks and .he sweater OF his early
collegiate career. With MS bat he
has beaten a path to a generous
slice of baseball fame. perhaps
earning as muCn do-re-mi en- route
as any three Of his classmates COM
bined. Then. too, he has acquired
a degree of polish. Some of those
who wouldn't give him a tumble
when he entered Maryland now
would relish the opportunity of
shaking MS hand.
There isn't much doubt Charley
will rank a3 the Terps' most es-
teemed athlete of all time. Only
Joe Di Maggie and perhaps Joe
Gordon of the Yankees would bring
a higher price than Keller If New
York'S stars we're placed on the
block. He is valued at about
$4,000, which is considerable sugar

ing his third major league season.
Scouts Swarmed About Him.
Keller was one of those hitting
naturals. He didn't begin to at
tract much attention, though, until
he swatted something over 500 for
his junior year at Maryland. AS
a senior he duplicated his amazing
batting feats and major league
scouts cluttered the campus.
Some folk never will forgive Clark
Griffith for missing the boat on
Keller. He secuted him personally
on at least one occasion and came
away admiring the action of Third
Baseman Waverly Wheeler, who
hit .260 with Knoxville one season
and hasn't been heard of since.
