FRANK ISBELL SUPPLIES
MAJORS WITH HUSTLERS
BY H. C. HAMILTON.
NEW YORK, May. s.—Frank Isbell,
the bald eagle of baseball, s dividing
his minor league time between sitting
on the bench running his ball club and
making pitchers for the major leagues.
Since Izzy departed from a first class
job at first basing for the White Sox
he has been roaming around in the
Western league, owning a team here
and there and piloting one or another
the rest of the time. He has settled
variously in Pueblo, "Wichita and Des
Moines, with the balance resting in
favor of Des Moines.
When Izzy first came into the Des
Moines club he had pitching for him
Joe Benz, Red Faber, Claude Thomas
and a few others of lesser importance.
Faber and Benz have become stars. A
little later the Minneapolis American
association club grew tired of carrying
George Mogridge around and ae was
sold to the Des Moines club. Izzy;
promptly began teaching George some
pitching tricks and sold him to the!
Yankees. His recent no-hit perform-;
ar.ee against the Red Sox shows'
whether he learned anything.
Mogridge had been with the White
Sox half a dozen times and then was
turned over to Minneajrolis. He had
pitched baseballs nearly every place
they have them.
Pitchers seem to be Isbell's spec
ialty, but he also has donated oth
ers to the national pastime. Connie!
Mack has one of Izzy’s former payroll 1
burdens or blessings in Pat Haley, 1
catcher, Bruce Hartford, now with the
White Sox, is a former pupil of the'
bald eagle. Carl Sawyer, who sup
plied the American league with its'
laughs last year, grew up under Frank!
Isbell’s instructions. Joe Leonard,!
Washington’s third baseman, did most
of his early work under the watchful
eye of the former American league'
star.

Miss Ura Belle Williams has re
turned from her home, where she was
called on account of the death of her
father.
Dr. Andrew M. Soule, of the State
College of Agriculture, visited us
Wednesday, and made a very inspir
ing lecture.
Athletics.
We gave Fort Valley a good drub
bing in a game of baseball Thursday,
the score being 4 to 1, with us hold
ing the larger end of it. Fort Valley
was outclassed throughout the entire
game. Pantone was in good shape,
and held the “Peaches” down with
out any trouble. As this was the sec
ond game with the Fort Valley boys,
and they won the first, the tie will be
played off.
The Seniors will engage in what
promises to be a real game of ball
with the remainder of the school
Monday afternoon.
An interesting and hotly contested
game between the Freshmen and
Sophmores Wednesday resulted in
the Sophmores winning by the score
of 9 to 8.
Our Varsity is to go to Dawson
Wednesday to play the team down
there.

who have any practical knowledge of
gardening to volunteer their services

salary for which they can afford to
