Hail players are like any other hu

of trade and barter, they don't always
get what they want.
Often a good player with possibili

John McOraw has probably discard

McGraw has a delicate proposition In

Lti.VDoN, Augi il Withdrawal of

seriously considered by the British

The principal reason for withdrawal

probably will b- that English sporting
activities in normal times are so num

I The principal undoubtedly has bean

appear Indifferent towards the Ant

t-i onnie Mack, as regards the home
funs being piled up by .Mister Ruth.
Ho says:
"The batohers are partly lo blame
for Babe's runs He ha- mads only
two '-ff my pitchers and on one of
lhes ths Crowd was yelling, Let him
hit It, let him bust It." so my catcher
held bis hands open like a basket and
; the pitcher grooved it Kuth did the
real Bs put It somewhere out of

didn't nx-an lo call for a groove, but
M is lr. Ins to fool Kuth. The pitcher
'put It there. The boys can't pull that
-Miff on me Babe It a wonderful timer
nf the ball. He has mure bad bails

I has to hit at some of them or walk
all the time A catcher who uses hts
brains f'r nlm- Innings won't signal
his pitcher for a groove ball whn
Babe Is nourishing his bat alongside

litis SPEAKER
The cry from far and near Is that
Trls Speaker's Indians won't frolic In
the fail series unless smoe relief hoves
Into sight pronto. On A'Jirn-it 4 Speak
er sent .loe Wood, ace of other years.
I in to try It. Trls says this of Jeo's
performance :
I have every reason to believe that
J Jeo WOOd Will help u as a relief
burler. He had everything when he
finished out that game except control.
IleVnn get thai. What was worrying
me before he started was that he might
not be able to show his old speed
ind sharp curves. But he had both.
With a little more work be will be
Sbls to help us save a game now and
I then.'
JOl Jl DGE,
During the Cleveland - Washington
series Jos Judge went out to the bull
pan and looked over some of Joe
Wood's stuff. His verdict is
"So Cleveland thinks they need a
, relief hurlor. Well, I think so myself.
Without one to pull n few games out
Of the fire for them, thing aren't any
too bright for a Cleveland pennant,
with the White Sox looming up and
the slugging Yankees doing tricks.
Speaker has gut a relief burler. but
be doesn't know It. lie's Joe Wood.
For three or four Innlntrs Wood is as
good as ever, and everyone remembers
,vhat Smoky Joe had a fow years ago."
