BAGBY MAY COME BACK IN NATIONAL
JIM BAGBY
BY BILLY EVANS
In the passing of Jim Bagby!
from the Cleveland club, the Am-j
erican League loses one of the 1
unique characters of the game. |
with Jim Bagby there was a
reason for everything. He enjoyed
nothing better than a friendly ar

incessantly.
Jim Is ulways willing to take
the second guess at some play if
he feels it will start a discussion]
as to what should have been done.
Most of the heated discussions on
the Cleveland club, which were
usually of a friendly nature, had
Bagby at the bottom of them.

well named—half speed ball.
The fact that it is in between—
a speed that is the exception rath-
than the rule—makes it hard to
:c. In addition, Jim boasts a
c fadeaway. A good head, plus
fine control, plus stuff that is a
bit different, tells why Bagby has
been successful when hundreds of
pitchers with twice his stuff have
failed.
Absolute lack of confidence
was Bagby’s prevailing fault the
last two years. The lack of con
fidence in his ability to win is
what made a loser out of him,

It was a perfectly truthful re

China Exporting
Big Egg Shipments
HANKOW, China.—(Correspon
dence of the Associated Press.)—
Scroes of bake: its in Europe this
year will make their holiday cakes
with eggs laid by hens in central
China and shipped from this port
on the Yangtse river about 600
miles inland from Shanghai. The
waterfront at Hankow for the last
two months has been literally
piled high with boxes of eggs
destined for Europe.
China, noted or its frequent
famines, is credited with export
ing more eggs than any other
country. An observer along the
front saw two big ocean going
liners, one from Liverpool and the
other from London, taking on
cargoes chiefly of eggs. The eggs,
suitable for cooking purposes are
deprived of their shells and can
ned. Each can holds a dozen eggs
and about 2 dozen cans fill a crate.
Cheapness of production prompts
the British traders to come to cen
tral China for eggs. The price of
eggs here averages fifty cents a
gold hundred. The coolies who
carry the cargo from the ware
house to Ihe ships receives about
20 cents a day. ’ -
