but that fact did not interfere
with their brilliance.
Tinker, who led all the
leagues shortstops in fielding in
'06 and '08, stood 5 feet 8 and
weighed ITS pounds.
A right-hand batter, Tinker
sawed off the ends of Wildfire
Schulte's bats. They appeared to
be little more than a broom
stick in his hands. He left life
time average of no more than
1862, but was clutch hitter, par
ticularly effective against the
great Christy Mathewson. He is
especially renowned for break
ing up games in which Matty
appeared to be unbeatable.
Evers the Trojan was one of
the most distinctive players of
the game. He stood no more than
5 feet 10, weighed only 1873
pounds, yet he played more than
100 games for nine campaigns.
In 1914, when he was thought
to be through, he teamed with
Rabbit Meanwhile to sweep the
Boston Braves to the pannant
and four straight victories over
the Wanted Athletics in the
World Series.
Evers the Crab was nervous,
hyper-aggressive type. One look
at his lantern jaw and you knew
he wouldn't hesitate to speak his
piece. A left-hand batter who
could drag the ball well, he got
to first base with the speed of a
desert wind. He twice hit more
than 300 when it was distinc-
ton to finish in the charmed
circle.
Evers covered a wide range,
threw from any position, was a
wonder on the pivot.

this morning to settle the
whole thing, you find the top

And this doesn't include

Wander Nicer
Is Outstanding
HurIer 10 Date
He Allows Only
Two Runs, IL Hits
in Three Storts
BY JUDSON BAILEY
Associated Press sports Writer

Pitching has been the prize
product of the Major League.
this Spring and scintillating per.
formances have been piled one
on top of another. But there
would be no argument if the
question were asked. who is the
outstanding hurler to date
The answer is Lefty John
Wander Nicer of the Cincinnati
Reds.
The New Jersey Dutchman is
slated for early induction into
the armed forces and seems de-
termined to paint his farewell Ia
the National League in figures
that will be remembered.
He has gone to the mound
three times in eight days,
He beat Mort Cooper of the
st. Louis Cardinals 10 in
eleven innings on opening day
and four days later was him.
self defeated 10 by HOWE
POllet of the Cards.
Yet he was back again yester-
day with another effective eff
fort, this time turning back the
Pittsburgh Pirates 81 on six
hits. He had a shutout till the
ninth, when the Bucs finally
punched three blows for a run.
This triumph kept the Reds
tied with the Cards for third
place in the Senior Circuit as St.
Louis slipped over 4-3 twelve
inning conquest of the Chicago
Cubs. The world champions
were beaten 81 by Rookie Eddie
Hanyzewski going into the last
half of the ninth, but came up
with one of their familiar rail-
lies to tie the score on a two
run pinch single by Coaker
Triplett. Then in the twelfth
Ray Sanders singled across the
deciding run with his only hit
of the game.
The Brooklyn bod gers
completed a sweep of their
series with the Phillies on the
gift of two unearned runs for
a 4-3 victory. Earl NaylOr hit
three-run homer off Kirby
Higbe in the first inning, but
the Phillies were unable to
score again.
The Boston Braves vaulted in
to second place back of the Dod-
gers by beating the New York
Giants So behind the six-hit
hurting of Charley (Red) Bar
rett. They shelled Van Mungo
and Ray Coombs for 13 safeties.
In the American League the
New York Yankees were forced
into twelve innings by the Bos-
ton Red Sox, but won 7-3 with
final four run blast in which
Nick Etten and John Lindell
each singled with the bases load
ed.
Like the Dodgers, the Yam
KEGS also have won five out of
six games and the path to an
other pennant was smoothed
considerably yesterday w h c n
rookie shortstop George Stirn-
weiss was rejected at the Hart
ford, Conn, induction center be-
cause of stomach ulcers.
T he Washington Senator'S
maintained their grasp on third
place with 81 decision over
the Philadelphia Athletics. Bob
Johnson batted in three runs
against his former teammates as
the Senators. although held to
five hits, profited from eight
walks.
In the other game of the day
the Detroit Tigers also were out
hit but beat the ST. Louis Browns
80. Virgil Trucks held the
Browns to four safetieS. one
more than the Tigers made off
Lefty Al Hollingsworth and
George Caster.

Descriptive Letter From Attu Before Invasion Expresses Concern For Pet

The War Department inform ation published in the Mirror last week that Mir. and Mrs. Charles Foster Jones, the only white inhabitants on Attu. had slashed their wrists with the re- sulting death of MT. Jones, and that Mrs. Jones was prisoner Tn Japan, was shock to the many friends of the elderly couple in Kodiak.
 Mr. and Mrs. Jones stayed with Mrs. Pete Magnusen, of this city, while awaiting trans portatiOn to Attu, and Mrs. Msgnusen still has the Jones' dogt Skippy, that they were un- able to take to Attu, with them. Before going to Attu the couple taught at Old Harbor on Kodiak island.
 They arrived on Attu iu Sep tember, l94l, and sometime the following summer (exact date of the invasion of Attu by the Japs is not known) the tragedy oc- cured. Fate of the natives on Attu has never been disclosed.

from MrS. Jones IeIllng OI CIlelI arrival in Attu, but an answer to it was returned. The $lOI mentioned in the letter was con- tributed in the local Red Cross drive for the Joneses by Mrs. Magnusen.
 The letter follows:
 Dear Mrs. Magnusen:
 We got here in 8 hurry once we got away from Kodiak. It was a lovely trip to Unalaska, and there we found the Coast Guard Atlanta waiting for us. They had been waiting 2 weeks, so they hustled us and our stuff on board, and in 2 hours after landing in Unalaska we were off for Attu. Hadn't a chance to do many things we had planned 10 do. All the freight from Seattle was already on board, including SkipDy's food, and there was no chance to sort it out to return on the ship. But tomorrow we are expecting another Coast Guard, the Hermes, and we shall try to send his food on that. There are 3 boxes. We shall have to send them collect on your end, SO l am enclosing a check for ten dollars which 1 hope will cover the freight char ges. Our light plant and big transmitter did not come with us so Foster has not been on the air much. He manages to get through to Dutch Harbor with his little set, but has had trouble getting antenna poles and other supplies.
 When he is fixed up you will probably hear him. He talks with the Dutch Harbor army station at 8:3O Dutch Harbor time That will be 9;30 your time.
 We like it here. The people are fine, and the scenery beauti- full. The house is big and com fortable, running water with bathroom complete, an oil range like yours, oil heater, and many other comforts. There are only 45 people in the village and they 
 do not drink. Can you believe it? The trader will not sell it to them.
 I have thought so much of Skippy. It was well we did not bring him. The Atlanta would not have taken hlm.
 Ihope you have a pleasant winter. We look back with pleasure to our lovely visit with you, and will never forget how kind you were to take us in.
 Sincerely,
 Etta E. Jones
