The tans, therefore, will have to get on the job In front of The Tribune scoreboard at 3:30, fifteen minutes earlier than the showlng-up showlng-up time last week. The rapid rise of Rowdy Elliott is causing quite a stir in baseball circles. It is a dull day when T lie scrappy little leader does not got a "hand" from the crowd, whether playing at home or abroad. When a little more than a year ago Elliott ww traded bv Vernon to Oakland, everybody supposed It was a1 severe blow to Rowdy. At that time Oakland was regarded as the jumping-off jumping-off place of class AA ball. Later we rind him made manager of the Oaks.

He took the remnants of last season's team, spliced out with men who seem to have been selected with excellent judgment, and welded the whole into a very formidable machine. Hia veterans vet-erans are showing all the enthusiasm of kids just, breaking in, while he must be given credit for developing two sterling: young pitchers in Beer and Martin. President Leavitt's appointment of Elliott El-liott as manager probably was the most unexpected thing I hat ever happened in the league. In response to feverish questions. ques-tions. Leavitt said that he discerned great latent possibilities in Kowdy, even going so far as to characterize him as a "embryonic MeGraw." Whether his ; Judgment will be vindicated In the full it is too early to say. However, the in- t cresting fact remains that Kowdy. prao- ! tically a cast-off a year ago. is now lead- j in tho league.
