WOODALL 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 gument. During the playing sea son Bn ghy lives baseball—talks it 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. Jim Bagby may prove a second Babe Adams for Pittsburg, that club having refused to waive' on the veteran.

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, CHANGE MAY HELP INQUIRES ABOUT BAGBY ^ “What kind of stuff has Jim Bagby?” he asked. Evidently he had heard that Pittsburg might take a chanpe on the veteran. 4< As much stuff as he ever had,” I replied. It was a perfectly truthful re in 1920, when Bagby won 31 games, he was the “cockiest” pitcher in the league. There was nothing chesty about Jim’s atti tude—rather it was one of su preme confidence.

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. ’ - Dead A* Result#- Seven players will make this be seen in next Saturday' SPORT BRIEFS (By Associated Press.)
