Dixie Shortstop, Who Is Filling Chapman's Shoes, ,
Takes Kindly To Big League Pitching !

BY BEAN SNYDER.
Buying a ball player for his fielding
jabillties and flmling that he Is also a
nifty slugger, i-- the- luck of Trls

In his first few games as a regular

is cutting as big a swath with his bat

i Sonic youngsters play over their
heads the flr.-t few weeks when they
first come up to the big show, but If
Sewell can keep on doing it for a few
I days more- he may be the cog that will
cause the American Icaguo cloth to fly
from the Cleveland flagpole
The kid is slapping tno Ban John
son apple with as much confidence as
he did the Lixie pellets.
. Sewell Is a product of the University
of Alabama baseball team. Me Is In
the majors before completing his first,
full year In the minors.
DOBBS PICKED HIM
I Johnny Dobbs. manager of the New
irleans Pelicans, from whom Speaker
I picked the peach) shortstop, says tii.nt
Sj w II Is the bet player h-.- ever sent
up to the big show and he is the gent
who gave both Jim Bagb;, and Del
Pratt their first passports to the big
orchards.
Dobbs was tipped off to the fact
that Sewell was a promising player by
Ward McDowell, former manager of
the Birmingham City league. The
youth was then playing on tiie varsity
team at Tuscaloosa.
Fl iv 81 R.

LOOKS GOOD
Mere's the? way Dobbs elescribs the
work of the youngster since ho re
ported to him last April
"I sent Sewell Into the game as soon
as he reported uml he didn't miss a
day until we sent him to Cleveland.)
I Vorv soon I made, him a lead-off man,
and 1 want to tell you that he Is one
of the best lad-otf batters I ever saw.
