BOIBG FODDER FOR FANS McGraw and his newspaper following were no worse in their worst days than the White Sox and the Chicago news paper folks now are. They claim that ? Cd Walsh is a ruined pitcher because they are calling balks on him. The um pires reply, “Then let him stop making 'em," which is the retort unanswerable. • • • In the latest crop of batting averages > of the Western leagues are found some familiar names F’rinstance: Lindsay, Denver, .407; Rickert. Topeka. .341; Berg hammer. Lincoln. .333; Ten Million. Sioux City, .266; Paul Cobb, Lincoln, .253; Cad man, Sioux City, .246; Dale Gear, Topeka, .227. • * • They work that ’Tm-going-to-catch-a ball-from-the-Metropolitan-tower” story every year in New’ York, the only differ ence being that they change the tower now and then. Krltchell is the latest who is going to tackle it. ... Consider the ways of that Washington ball club! When they finally wake up it will probably kill ’em all If this Is to go on. even the Browns are liable to win a game or two each week. ... Ed Walsh costs the White Sox $7,500 a year In salary. Punk investment, too! » ♦ « I. Wingo, Georgian, continues to slam the ball some. Though he has slumped below .300. he is still doing fairly well, with an average of .294. Kirke, with the Pelicans last year, is one point better. ... The Vernon ball team of the Coast league has let things go wrong to such an extent that open gambling and drink ing go on throughout every game in Its stands. The league has threatened to , kick the burg out of the league if things are not straightened up. ... Joe Stanley of the Pelicans has written his wife in Louisville that he is satisfied with his place with the Pelicans, but that he is trying to ger away from the club. That's a fair sample of ball players’ con sistency. • • • Pitcher Stultz has been released by Bristol, Appalachian league, to the Blue Grass league. That is certainly awful Flumping. • • • Bobby Rothermel, a Pirate scout, dug THE BASEBALL CARD SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games Today. Memphis in Atlanta. Montgomery in Birmingham. Nashville in Chattanooga.
